Eyebrow help

7 replies

TheReturnOfFeathersMcGraw · 04/05/2025 19:53

I've realised that I need to start doing something with my eyebrows. They're a little bit thin and I feel Im a bit washed out looking. Im not a tan or foundation person, due to sensitivities I cannot wear much on my face so Ive decided doing my eyebrows and a nice bright lipstick will have to do.

But, what is the best way to do eyebrows? Id rather not draw them on my skin because I always notice that on other people, so I was thinking of a gel and a mascara type wand - but are they as easy to apply as they look? And will I end up with crunchy eyebrows that smudge over my face if I forget and rub my face? Please help!

How about getting them threaded and dyed?

I find powder is the most natural and doesn't move much.

I would consider micro blading.

I havent come across powder yet - how do you apply it? Dyeing is a good idea for once Ive played around with them a bit to see what I think of it all

I'm definitely not brave enough for that! (Nor do I have the money!)

What do you mean by not bravely enough? Would you consider brow lamination?

OP, I’m guessing I’m a lot older than you.

My eyebrows after menopause started thinning out from the middle outwards.

To me if looked odd, like I only had half an eyebrow !

So daily, I applied dark Jamaican castor oil (in a glass amber bottle) and a few months later, my other half commented how improved there were, and I hadn’t even told him of my changed routine.

Castor oil is very thick , so I make sure I have a damp face before applying it, so it glides on more easily.

If you do decide to try, be patient.

I do hope it works for you too

Btw, I also use it on my lashes, and it’s made a difference there too 😆

Charlotte Tilbury legendary brows sounds like what you're looking for. Very natural and fills them well.
