Brows- what do you use?

I have watched countless videos the last few days. Mine are sparse (over plucked). I was using ka brow but it's almost all gone. Is there something better? Wunderbrow? Help there is so much to choose from

One from Collection (Boots). It’s long wearing but needs a steady hand to apply.

I finally found a product today I’m happy with after my favourite was discontinued. It’s Estée Lauder tinted brow gel. Gives a very natural finish.

For sparse brows I use benefit gimme brow. It adds fibres that look like extra brows. I then fill in with s brow pen for definition

RandomWordsandaNumber5 · 26/03/2018 08:00

I’ve just discovered the benefit eyebrow pencil and the gimme brow product and they’re brilliant. The Gimme Brow has been discontinued temporarily but will be back in the shops in the next week or so apparently.

MelonKim · 26/03/2018 08:01

Agree gels or waxes good. I use a now discontinued wax. Laura Mercier

Branleuse · 26/03/2018 08:05

oh im relieved you said gimme brow was coming back

Redtartanshoes · 26/03/2018 08:05

Bobbi brown crayon is great. It’s not cheap £30 maybe? But it lasts me about 6 months of every day use

I use Clinique soft blonde superfine liner for brows as my eyebrows are blonde & quite sparse - £15.50

DameDoom · 26/03/2018 09:20

Have you considered a product to make them grow back? I use Revitabrow as my formerly thick brows had become very patchy and looked as it they had been worn away. Three months later and my brows were fully restored. I use it a couple of times a week to maintain. It's not cheap - £78 eek - but it works brilliantly if you have a bit of patience.

keepingbees · 26/03/2018 09:25

I use Rimmel brow pencil. I've tried loads of different pencils and brow gels/powders but this is the one I always come back to. It's only £3 and stays in place all day, colour looks natural and just seems to give the best finish. It has a brush on the lid too which i use all the time.
I'd also recommend going for a eyebrow tint, it really helps fill out patchy brows

Speedy85 · 26/03/2018 09:26

The best brow products out there IMO are by Anastasia Beverley Hills. I order them online from Beauty Bay. They do coloured gels, powders, pomades and pencils. It's the range of colours that really makes them stand out for me - my hair has cool tones and a lot of products just look completely wrong.

diodati · 26/03/2018 09:28

Has anyone tattooed their eyebrows in? Mine are so sparse without eyebrow pencil and the pencil wears off after a few hours. So I'm wondering...

Speedy85 · 26/03/2018 09:29

Ooh I've just noticed your username OP. The Anastasia Beverly Hills products are vegan and cruelty free [fellow vegan here].

HollyBollyBooBoo · 26/03/2018 09:29

I'm so tempted by microbladding, if there's not a lot there to begin with then thins like gimme brow - which is amazing, just won't do enough for you.

youvegottobekidding · 26/03/2018 14:33

I've used a couple of eyebrow pencils & eyebrow kits. The best that I have used and just been out this morning to purchase again as I had a panic after seeing that they had ran out of stock online is the Soap & Glory Brow Tint & Precision Pencil £10 from Boots. I use the shade Brownie Points as I have dark hair but they do a shade for blondes too. Failing that, or I don't have enough cash to splash on that I use Boot's Seventeen Brow Scupting Pencil - usually £2 something but think it's on offer for something barginous at the moment for £1.44!!

Lonesurvivor · 26/03/2018 14:46

youvegottobekidding seventeen is been discontinued which is why it's on offer. I'd advise you to stock up if it's a favourite.

KatharinaRosalie · 26/03/2018 15:15

I've been too chicken for tattoo, but there are several temporary tattoo gels on the market. Maybelline does one and there are many Korean ones you can get from ebay.

They are not the same as brow dye - I have really sparse brows so dying makes no difference, as there is simply not enough hair for the colour to stick to. What the tattoo gels do is they actually tint your skin, but eyebrows look surprisingly natural, not drawn on at all. I can get good 2-3 days out of the gel depending on how long I leave it on.

Twotabbycats · 26/03/2018 17:12

I like Modelco More Brows - coloured gel that thickens what you have, very natural look.

And ABH brow pencil for a more 'done' look. I've tried other pencils but they are often a bit crumbly.

I am very dark though and find it hard to find a good colour match, so my choices have been based largely on that!

EnidButton · 26/03/2018 17:19

The whole range Lone? How sad!

I buy an eyeshadow from the seventeen range for my eyebrows . Apply it with a tiny angled brow brush. Must try to stock up.

SadieContrary · 26/03/2018 17:27

Benefits Gimme Brow is back! I personally think the original stuff was better (slightly darker and thicker) but I'm still happy with the new one. Literally just managed to get my hands on it.
It makes all the diff to my brows and even my DH notices when I've used it

EnidButton · 26/03/2018 17:34

I'm joining the hunt for a new product because it looks like Boots don't make my eyeshadow anymore. It was the perfect ashy dark brown. So many of them seem to be warm toned.

EnidButton · 26/03/2018 17:34

^for eyebrows I mean.

Hellsbellscockleshells · 26/03/2018 17:36

Not cheap but DD got some fab stuff from Benefit the lady did her make up and made a great job. Her brows came out the best though so I bought her some was shocked at the price but the results are great. I sneak it sometimes when she’s at school.

Pengweng · 26/03/2018 18:30

I use a Lush eyebrow crayon. Not too heavy and can add more if needed.

Speedy85 · 26/03/2018 18:53

EnidButton I'm not sure if you saw my post above but seriously check out Anastasia Beverly Hills. I like the Dark Brown which is cool toned but they also do one called Ash Brown which might work for you.
