Eyebrows

[Suttonstracke]

So I’ve never had anything professionally done to my eyebrows - I’ve always plucked them, occasionally trimmed an errant hair myself. As I’m getting older I think I could do with looking a bit more groomed and in photos I sometimes think my eyebrows look a little wild. 😅 They’re jet black if that makes a difference. I’m clueless about where to start - what kind of place should I be visiting? What are the options? I like looking natural so I definitely don’t want anything extreme. Any one guide me through?!

I get mine waxed and tinted but I have some white hairs in my brows so maybe you'd just need them shaped by waxing or threading

I also get my brows waxed and it's an amazing experience. The result will remain for a long time.

I wouldn't wax them it ruins the delicate skin on the eyes.

Threading is better.

I had the opposite. Had been fine with waxing, however threading caused me to have a bout of eyelid eczema that was hard to shift for a while. Will never have threading again, it was brutal!
Whatever you do, go for the natural look, not the painted on slug look!

I’m so scared of the slug look it’s putting me off!
Here’s a pic - what do you reckon I should do?

If you click on picture you should see the whole thing rather than the hideous close up of my skin!!

I've been through a bit of a revoution recently and found that getting rid of all the eyebrow mascara's and just going with a regular professional shape and a tint at home does the job far better.

You don't look like you need anything other than a decent professional shape.

Brush them up and then use little scissors and trim them.
Use clear gel or eyebrow soap to shape them. Natural bushy eyebrows are in fashion. I don't think you need them dyed. Remember the saying: eyebrows are sisters not twins.

Just go for a basic eyebrow natural shaping at a salon, so you get rid of the stragglers. Then you can keep up the maintenance yourself with tweezers at home. Your brows will look really good with a bit more shape. You don't need all the added extras that will turn them into slugs!
I'd recommend to go professional at a salon for the initial shape and then it's up to you if you go back or maintain yourself. If you are not very confident, I don't recommend you try to tidy them up yourself in the first instance.

Agree 100%

Get them professionally shaped, jobs a goodun

Watch brow videos on you tube.

Get the equipment:
Straight ended brow brush and eyeshadow that matches your eyebrow hair colour.

Use an old clean mascara wand or buy a brow brush and brush all the hairs up.

Use a pencil to see what you should pluck. (Watch video)

After plucking fill in the gaps with the shadow.

Then use a clear mascara to brush them down from the top into a nice shape. (You may need to trim some with sharp nail scissors.)

If it's a disaster then go to a salon. (But I wouldn't trust them not to make you look like a doll or push expensive products/ services on you)

I've gone grey and my eyebrows are much lighter than yours. I have them threaded into a natural shape and then use an eyebrow pencil to give them some colour. Cheap and cheerful and works for me.
