Eyebrow help

My eyebrows are awful at the moment. I usually go for a wax and tint at the salon but obviously can’t at the moment.

I’m fairly useless with tweezers but need to try something! Any hints or tips?

If you fill them in as would normally so you can see the desired shape, then carefully tweeze any stragglers underneath!

As Haver says, fill in with a pencil to the shape you want then get rid of any stragglers. I use an eyebrow razor but tweezers also fine. Re pencils I haven't found anything better than Benefit Precisely My Brow.

I bought a home tint kit. It worked. Then I tweezed. Is OK.

Thank you. I’ve purchased a home eyebrow kit so that’s sorted. I’ll try the pencil!

Tint your own! It's so much easier than it seems and v little scope for disaster. I'm rubbish at that stuff and was gobsmacked when I realised how simple it is. I bought Refectocil tint and oxidant developer. Easy peasy. Test patch your skin (as would always happen) and if all good, go for it.

The problem is the shaping. Tint first then tweeze tidy as best you can after and you'll be grand. What a difference it makes.

Thank you @bettybeans

I just brought the one bettybeans mentioned after seeing a few people on here recommend it. I’ve just done mine today and it’s good I brought natural brown I only left it on for about five minutes colour was perfect match for me.

I tinted first the tweezed the stragglers I could see like you I’m normally visiting the salon for my wax, threading and tint. Luckily here wasn’t much to tidy up I just followed the shape they already are.

That’s what I’m hoping I can do @Strongbeatsskinny follow the shape that’s already there but get rid of the ‘extra’ that’s appearing!

Does anyone have any thoughts on those eyebrow epilator things? Or are tweezers easier?
