Eyebrow help please

[CisMyArse]

My wonky thyroid has put an end to my eyebrows. I'm 45 and I've not plucked nor waxed them in 4 years. They're getting thinner and shorter.

I pencil them in but wouldn't mind a finer tip to make them
More natural looking.

Any suggestions?

Maybe try using Brow powder and a thin brush

Microblading

I have hypothyroidism and not great eyebrows. I get my eyebrows shaped and tinted every 6 weeks or so at a salon. Really worth it. You can also get home tints.

Microblading! Just had mine done, it cost me £140, that includes a top up in 4 weeks.
They last for about 1 year and it's £60 thereafter

Never heard of microblading. Bit scary! Hypothyroid here also, I get mine tinted every few weeks. Makes a difference.

Microblading???? Scary!
Is that tattooing?

Another vote for microblading!

Microblading is a semi permanent tattoo and creates realistic looking hairs, not one solid black line if thats what is making it sound scary haha. I would love to get microblading on my own brows.

I'm 6 days post microblading and so pleased with the result!
I'm surprised how natural it looks. Never had anything like this done before. Not got any tattoos. This was literally painless, it felt as though she was drawing on my brows.
Feel so much more confident

Anyone prepared to put a microblading photo up?

As a short-term fix, try the Bobbi Brown long wear eyebrow pencil. I've used it every day since I bought it a couple of weeks ago and it's survived rainy dog walks and boxing sessions in the gym.

microblading is similar to tattooing, but not exactly the same.

My eyebrows are tattooed. I love it. It honestly makes me look younger and happier (I don't know how they make me look happier -- may be it's the arch?).

Having eyebrows is a good thing!! Having them when you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror is truly lovely.

correct - here are mine. They're done with micropigmentation so like a tattoo machine but single needle (different to microblading)
Pic 1 after first session, pic 2 is healed after second session and with some brow gel on

Ollivander84, your brows look fabulous, could I ask where you got them done ?

They look really great Olivander. I'd possible go for a thinner brow, but yours are great.

Of course, they were done here, she has lots of photos on her instagram of her work too

Thank you Lovely, I think I'll treat myself ! 😄
Sorry to be a nuisance, but is it very painful ?

The first bit hurt but then they use a numbing cream and I felt nothing. It was bearable

Ollivander - I can't seem to see a cost for microblading on the website - how much for brows? Also, can you get an idea of what they're going to do before they actually do it? And finally, are they in London?

Lucietilbrook (On instagram) does the best tattooed eyebrows I've ever seen.

Sullaby - no, she is based in Manchester. Around £350 I think
And yes, they use a pencil and measuring etc and that's the main bulk of time is drawing and marking and colour discussing and checking in the mirror before they actually start

Anastasia Beverley Hills do the best brow products IMO in a variety of shades. I like the powder but if you prefer pencils the ones they do are thin and mechanical style (ie no sharpening required).

Their coloured brow gels are also useful as you might have lots of fine hairs which, with the gel, will help make your brows look thicker.

You can get their products online (I get them from BeautyBay).

I know someone who had really crap microblading. It's literally //////////////// and SO obvious.

Ollivander, yours are outstanding!!

I’d love stronger brows but terrified of microblading in case they do that unnatural rectangular shape. Like this. Why would you want corners on your inner eyebrow?!

Oh. My. God. I have an under active Thyroid and barely there eyebrows. I never ever knew there could be a connection

Thanks for posting this thread OP. You've 'solved' a 20 year mystery for me.... x
