Half my eyebrow's been removed

I have been having my eyebrows threaded for years and years. Today I went in for a tidy up. I've come
out with one eyebrow a cm back from the corner of my eye. It looks awful and there isn't even enough hair left to brush it over.

What do I do? Eyebrow pencil (how do I apply?) or powder? Felt tip?

TIA

LOL at the felt tip!
How annoying for you. I'd go with the eyebrow pencil. Make sure it's well sharpened, then use feather like strokes until both eyebrows appear to match.

Thanks Swan, the thing I am worried about it that it's the start of the eyebrow and there is literally no hair left there at all. Won't the pencil look very odd?

I am not happy at all and feel a bit tearful (as shallow as that makes me sound!)

Oh dear, did they still make you pay? It's luck of the draw with threaders, I had mine done today, along with a tint, they look ok, but the threader was only in Debenhams for the day, before she returns to her usual store.

Thanks for your sympathy Monadami. Yes, I paid. It is only £3 (I live near one of the UK's largest Asian areas hence price) and I didn't realise quite how bad it was until I got outside.

The brow zings is out of stock everywhere I've tried on line. I've tried an eyebrow pencil I bought sometime ago and it looks rather odd. Should the colour be darker or lighter than my actual eyebrows?
