Help eyebrow advice needed!

My 60 year old eyebrows have had some terrible treatment in their younger days when the fashion was thin, over plucked spider legs.

Nowadays I use eyebrow makeup to fill them in but it's not great. I'd like to have something more permanent and natural looking but am confused by the array of terms used. Can anyone give me some suggestions of where to start please?

I don't want to end up looking like Dennis Healy!

I use Vaseline every night and my eyebrows and my eyelashes are lovely.

I also use Just for men beard dye and use a clean mascara wand to brush on and it not only dyes eyebrow hair it also picks up the tiny hairs in skin follicles and looks great. Very easy to do at home.

Can you look up local brown tattoo people (look at the pictures so ypu know what the before/after results are). My eyebrows were blonde and sparse and I spent a fortune tinting and shaping them to try to make them visible. They easiest thing for me was having them tattooed on then any patches filled in 4 weeks later. Lasts for years. Get recommendations though as there are a few college drop outs doing it that the better ones have to regularly "fix". You want someone to do the feather like hair lines, not colour you in like they have a ham-fisted crayola.

Brow tech here!

If you want something temporary, you could have HD (high definition) brows. It’s basically a step up from just a normal tint and shape, they’ll map your brows so that they’re the correct shape for your face as well as the tinting process.

For a semi permanent option I would recommend microblading. They’ll use a blade to put the pigment into the skin like a tattoo, that looks like hair strokes rather than just a block. They can colour match to your hair/skin tone too so they’re natural. They’ll last for around a year and then you’ll need a top up once a year afterwards to keep them fresh.

Thank you, some great suggestions. I'll definitely research places in my area. I don't personally know anyone who has had the tattoo ones done to get a recommendation. Is there a register of legitimate people?
