I blame my current overgrown eyebrows on the fact that my dated 80's bathroom, with it's floor to ceiling black tiles, is so dark that I can't even make out that I have eyebrows when I look in the mirror, let alone that they might need plucking. It is only when I find myself in a shop dressing room that I practically pass out at the sight of my eyebrows in the mirror. I love all the advice above though.

You pencil in very short strokes (in the sun) and then with the brush you brush against the grain of the pencil strokes until it looks natural. Works for me. Good luck and then I say to hell with it!cjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338977338096590256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491954087258246123.post-28480302435483463892011-03-15T06:03:41.776+10:302011-03-15T06:03:41.776+10:30Eyeliner, lipstick & mascare (period)...*wink

Once you get the hang of it, you will be fine. Eyebrows are an art, they frame the face. Some mornings I wake up to find my eyebrows bent all to hell in every direction except the right one, so I go to plucking and then drawing them back in. I fill in gaps or missing tails everyday. Another option is tatooing. I have a friend that does permanent make-up, that's right, she tatoos eyebrows and eyeliner right on your face, FOREVER. Treat yourself to a make-over at your favorite cosmetic counter and let them show you. If I could figure out Skype, I would do it.

I use a powder eye shadow (Bobbi Brown funnily enough) and a slant eyebrow brush like this one http://www.thecosmeticmarket.com/product.php?productid=20465&cat=523&page=1<br /><br />I moisten it lightly and tap it on the eyeshadow to get colour on it. I shake the excess off. I don't use long straight strokes, but light short feathery strokes to fill in. Then eye get an eyebrow brush like this http://content.eyeslipsface.com/gallery_big/84014_900px_100011.jpg (I actually use the manicare one)<br />and brush the eyebrows into place. This allows the powder to be blended more naturally in case I've been a bit heavy handed. Then as a final measure, I use Bloom's clear eyebrow gel and go over again with the eyebrow brush as I have droopy eyebrow tendencies.<br /><br />I think I learnt this either from the Bobbi Brown makeup girls over the years or by reading Kevyn Aucoin's makeup books.<br /><br />Sandy KAmpersand Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00434653558710645382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491954087258246123.post-34034966634463652672011-03-14T18:45:06.180+10:302011-03-14T18:45:06.180+10:30Ultimately Millie tinting is the easiest solution....Ultimately Millie tinting is the easiest solution......on a regular basis...just like the hair I am afraid...xvvicki archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847183975086900816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-491954087258246123.post-51921027453545444522011-03-14T18:30:57.563+10:302011-03-14T18:30:57.563+10:30Choose an eye shadow in a colour that resembles th...Choose an eye shadow in a colour that resembles the colour of your eyebrows. Using a brush and not the little padded-thingy you get with eyeshadow, brush the eyeshadow onto the eyebrow in long, straight strokes, as you would if you were drawing them on with a pencil. It 'fills in' the colour without drawing an eyebrow, therefore giving a much more natural effect. A tip straight from the Bobbi Brown counter at DJs. Good luck!Mirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16818341217801534377noreply@blogger.com
