If these were your eyebrows what would you do with them?

They aren't very "there" and Dd takes the piss. I don't like heavy make up and prefer to accentuate things rather than make them obviously fake and like slugs. This is their completely natural state. I have honey blonde hair with lots of red tints and pink toned skin.

I have crap, fine, fair eyebrows.
I use this

(I think I’ve got the blond colour)
You might need to go to a Boots to check the colours for you.

It’s great - probably the best eyebrow pencil I’ve ever used. Stays put, doesn’t look slug-like (apply it with a light touch) and it just gives a bit of extra definition.

OysterMonkey · 02/04/2021 12:05

Tbf though, your eyebrows are better than mine!

aintnocoffeebigenough · 02/04/2021 12:07

Mine are so thin that any pencil just looks ridiculous (probably because I’m pretty crap at applying it too!) I go for a thickening brow gel instead - gives the appearance of darker, fuller brows without actually drawing them on if you see what I mean. I like Glossier Boy Brow - it’s about £15 but I only use a tiny bit.

AcornAutumn · 02/04/2021 12:07

Nothing

I have heavy brows and I'd love yours

People are so used to slug eyebrows, it doesn't hurt to see normal ones.

dudsville · 02/04/2021 12:07

If they were mine I'd be grateful for the nice shape! Mine are older, wayward things.

ScottishDiblet · 02/04/2021 12:11

Your eyebrows are literally perfect and don’t need changing.

torquewench · 02/04/2021 12:12

Id do nothing, theyre fine. Id tell DD to stop being such a cheeky mare though 😂

aintnocoffeebigenough · 02/04/2021 12:16

But yes agree that yours are way bloody better than mine OP! I probably have about 10 hairs in total!

Deux · 02/04/2021 12:18

Those are lovely brows

FindingMeno · 02/04/2021 12:18

Lovely shape brows.
You could accentuate and darken them a little with eyebrow mascara if you wanted.

BaggoMcoys · 02/04/2021 12:19

Your eyebrows look completely normal to me and I don't think you need to change them at all! Mine are about the same colour and thickness but a slightly different shape. I occasionally use an eyebrow pencil (a blonde coloured one) but I don't wear make up often so usually they're bare.

RealisticSketch · 02/04/2021 12:23

Gorgeous eyebrows! Do nothing, if you are a light/no make up sorry of person it would only look odd. I think they're pretty.
If you are really bothered you could consider a more maintenance free option like tattooing. My friend list her eyebrows through chemo and was fed up trying to draw them in every day so went to a specialist tattoo person who just does eyebrows... You could. Not. Tell. It was a tattoo unless you scrutinised then really closely, amazing job of realism.
But that's a bit drastic, maybe just tell dd to resurrect diversity in eyebrows. Grin

RealisticSketch · 02/04/2021 12:24

Respect. 😆😆

Bythemillpond · 02/04/2021 12:25

They are really nice eyebrows. I don’t have any after an allergic reaction

TheMotherlode · 02/04/2021 12:27

Try ‘HD brows’. You have to find a good beautician though who will do them in a natural looking way so they aren’t like slugs. They just basically wax them into a nicer shape and put a bit of a tint on to make them more defined. I have this done every couple of months and then just fill in any gaps with a light ish eyebrow pencil.

KirstenBlest · 02/04/2021 12:27

Buy a fake moustache, cut it in half and stick them on

AdelaideK · 02/04/2021 12:28

They look fine and I bet they are a thousand times nicer than your DD's.

ThePricklySheep · 02/04/2021 12:29

If you want to take them a tiny bit darker, the rimmel eyebrow mascara in the lightest shade might be good.

TheMotherlode · 02/04/2021 12:29

Buy a fake moustache, cut it in half and stick them on

Or you could try that 😂

PandaFluff · 02/04/2021 12:30

Tell your DD to not be so rude?
Benefit Gimme Brow is good if you gave fine light hairs you want to give some colour but your brows look fine.

KirstenBlest · 02/04/2021 12:36

Groucho Marx eyebrows

KirstenBlest · 02/04/2021 12:36

Or get a big wide one and rock a monobrow.

Greenrubber · 02/04/2021 12:37

There's nothing wrong with your eyebrows now I'm interested to know if your DD has those majorly overdone ones

VictoriaBun · 02/04/2021 12:44

Dye them . I'm totally useless at putting pencil on,and I can't even use an eye liner pencil , nor a lip liner.
Go on Amazon look up Eylelure Dybrow, it's £6.40 lasts forever and is really easy to do. Don't worry about getting any on your skin as it just washed /wipes off.
I'd send a link , but I'm crap at that also ! unless someone wants to talk me through it

AprilFoolaround · 02/04/2021 13:00

DD has big black thick things. It's not a good look but she likes it so it's up to her what she does with them. They have a bit shaved out of them too because it's cool she says. Any jokes about her eyebrows are met with claims of damaging her self esteem yet she can insult mine and anyone else's. Teenagers 🙄
