Eyebrow pencil

How do you stop your eyebrow pencil rubbing off? It looks good in the morning then goes patchy, I’m confused do I need a setting spray or powder?
I would love to grow my eyebrows back but not sure it’s possible, I overplucked them as a teenager.

I have thin sparse eyebrows
I use henna - dyes the skin & hair
fills in the gaps
maybe once a week
looks really natural and lasts
i use one for blond hair
then top up with benefit pencil if i want more definition

I don’t really have eyebrows though especially at the ends, I’m happy with my pencil, would just like it to stay put all day.

I use eyebrow setting gel or 'glue' to brush them up. I overplucked in the '90s so I fill the front part in with a waterproof eyebrow gel and an eyebrow brush, then just take it through the tails. I do like a 'scouse brow' look, but you could easily make it look more natural. I use either L'oréal 'unbelievabrow', or the Maybelline equivalent from the 'tattoo brow' range. Both stay put all day. I use an angled eyebrow brush, and a finer brush to paint some 'hairs' in.

Do you put this on after eyebrow pencil?

If you can find the right person, the answer can be microblading to restore overplucked eyebrows

it lasts some two to three years, is wonderful while it lasts. I’m just due for a refresh, tend to forget whether it’s been two or three yours and sometimes not for four years.

mine look absolutely natural, no ‘slug’ like properties which is where the right person doing it is required.
