Eyebrow SOS

Posted by: Beauty Obsession (Keysborough, Australia)

The one feature I would be most obsessed with would be my brows and I am forever plucking them, shaping them and filling them in with a brow pencil. I haven't tried a brow gel before and must give this a try.

I sooooo need to see one of the Eye Brow Queens - I seem to get just the right shape, then I don't have time to maintain them, then desperately need to tidy the 'forest' only to stuff it up because I'm in a rush! I do love the Mirenesse eyebrow gel though.... ;)

I also over plucked my brows as a teenager (when the pencil thin was in) They have never grown back as thick. I'm lucky they aren't patchy though. I just pluck the strays (with my fabulous La-Tweeze tweezers) and I don't need to worry about pencils or powders. I only use my powder if I'm going out and want to enhance my arch. The gel pens sound very interesting though.

I'd love an appointment with Sharon Lee. It's amazing how much a well shaped brow makes a difference to ones face.

Wow, I really need an appointment with a professional like Sharon Lee. Hairdressers never seem to shape my eyebrows in the right way to suit my face. But now after reading this hopefully i can steer them in the right direction and maybe try plucking for myself!

Thanks!

i cant shape my own eye brows, when ever i try to pluck it ends up looking terrible, i think it is one of those things that you should be taught as a teenager but i never was. i have blonde eyebrows and luckily they never look like a mono brow but i usually have them waxed by a professional ever 4 - 6 weeks. lazy easy way out i know.

I to missed out on the eye brow plucking lessons in my youth, so mine look loke a small chiild drew them on with a blunt hb pencil. I am considering having them tatto'd on, I am told this technique has come far in the last few years, and look much more natural than the old days, where ladies would look in a constant state of suprise.

I overplucked my eyebrows when i was younger. I now get a beautician to wax them and also get them tinted. Tinting, colours some of the fine hairs and makes your eyebrows look thicker.

i always overpluck. in high school for about a year i had an incident where i accidentally lost half an eyebrow. i had to colour it in and make it look real. it was dredful! now im more careful; i keep them thin- it suits my face more, but i dont over do it. i keep the natural shape there!

I've been trying to shape my brows by myself some time and figured it doesn't work! They end up being different shapes and looking like I've hired a pack of mice to do the job. I also like to keep them as natural as I can. On second thoughts I think it best to leave it to the professionals.

Yes. I too have gaps from overplucking. One eyebrow is also shorter than the other. I tend to draw in the missing bits with an eyebrow pencil, but find that it can tend to look obvious. I can't wait to try an eyebrow gel and check out the results.

My eyebrows are a little...... lets just say "out of wack". I plucked them once but did such a bad job I don't think I'll be doing it again (or any time soon for that matter) I usually just pluck the stray hairs that are out side of the boundaries.. you know.....

i do my own eyebrows, i just clean them - taking out stray hairs under the brow and between the brows to prevent a monobrow (i keep thinking monobrows can do waves..*shudder*). im in my late teens, hopefully i learn from you guys to NEVER overpluck my eyebrows! even if it is mighty tempting. because it all starts with, "maybe just a little more..." !!!

I always get my eyebrows waxed professionally - and just pluck the odd stray in between salon visits. I wish they would grow a bit further though, the outer edges are so sparse, despite never overplucking/waxing. I was advised to get cosmetic tattooing, but I worry it would look too harsh.

i hate my eyebrows they are the perfect shape everywhere but the end. i get stray hairs growing all around that area. and my hair is thck so i cant use that stuff that melts them off cause you can see the ends. so its painfull plucking for me. :( like my mum always said you have to suffer to be beautiful.

Easiest thing to do is go to a salon and get them to shape it the way you want. Then just pluck out the new growth as it comes in. A little time consuming but a lot cheaper in the long run.

I agree with getting a professional to wax the eyebrows to ensure the shape is maintained. A word of warning though .... there aren't many professionals out there! From personal experience, I'm stepping up to say that (here in Australia), only Ella Bache salons train their staff in correct eyebrow maintenance and they use good quality wax. When I tried other salons it took me months to get the shape back to something respectible. Believe me, it's worth spending the 20 bucks or so with an Ella Bache salon.

Thanks for the tip about Ella Bache midnite. The last place I went to get my eyebrows waxed did a pretty lousy job and I've been growing them out for the last two months - no plucking or anything - just so I'd have a full set of brows to get properly shaped. Now I'm too scared to let "just anybody" touch them. If anyone has any other recommendations for good eyebrow shaping places in the Sydney CBD please let me know! I'm looking for somewhere that actually shapes the eyebrows to what suits me rather than just waxing like most places do.

I professional brow shapping is one of the best things you can do yourself, When I was first starting to use and learn about makeup my mum took me to have a professional brow shapping. It was great. They gave me a shape that suited my face (not a fashion fad) and showed me how to maitain it. Now I only have to go back every 6 months to have them redone because I know how to maintain it at home. This brow get sound like it would be a great addition to.

Instead of waxing or plucking ... try threading it clearly shapes your eyebrows to its natural shape and even if the shape is screwed up it grows back soon and you'll never end up with hairless patches like waxing or plucking

I tweeze strays each day so that way I never have to do a big clean up and risk loosing the shape. I think well groomed brows are as important to the face as great shoes to an outfit.

the best is to have them shaped by a professional and then just plucked the strays

i naturally have very very little eyebrows so i wax most of the lil blond fluffy ones around the brows but leave the ones close to my brows den tint them. Its a natural look and last about 4-6weeks. And it gives me a bit of a thicker look

I just tidy the brows with a disposable small brow shaver, less painful and easier to manage. Plucking might stopped the hair growth while shaving doesn't.

I check my brows daily for any little sprouting hairs just after I wash my face with a hot towel. I usually only have to remove one or two and they slide out pretty effortlessly. Maintaining makes the job seem easier and the line much easier to keep straight.

In the past I went to salons to get my brows done, and I've always been dissatisfied with the results. Despite asking for a natural curve, I always ended up with drag queen arches of fury. Fed up, I've recently decided to have a go and try to come up with the brows I've always wanted. Here goes nothing ;)

I am so lucky I didn't over pluck my eye brows probably seeing my grandmother with her drawn in eye brows is what did it, oh the trauma. I was born with the one brow curse though and pluck around the nose area or strays but I still have noticed my eye brows thinning and thought about doing the whole eye brow thing but the price of the gel is a bit expensive. Plus I think the gel wouldn't apply to me if I already have eyebrows? Yes adelyn kiki you can have tatooed eye brows and tattooed make-up too but your right tattoos are for life.

Try the brow mascara- i bought it overseas from the brand Fasio- it's fantactic. I'm asian and my hair is coloured dark golden brown. the brow mascaras come in a range of 3-4 colours, waterproof and matches very nicely with my hair colour. saw some very natural looking colours as well. They're not as wet at the gel and you get a more natural finish (not a plastered look). I seriously SWEAR by it! google it!

I have brows that are fairly normal at the inside third or so and virtually non-existent the rest of the way out. I'm a redhead and I found that I simply couldn't find a good coloured brow pencil. What I've done for a few years now is draw the brow in with a pale golden-orange pencil, then dot a brown eyeshadow over it to create texture. The combination of the colours matches my natural brow colour and my hair colour quite well, and the texture looks fairly natural through my fringe.

I once did a dreadful thing and shaved my eyebrows. They are quite full eyebrows naturally and it was possibly the worst thing I've done. 20 years on a patch in my eyebrow still doesn't seem to grow back to how it used to be. I use a eyelash tint on my eyebrows to colour them (even if it is colouring the skin a bit to create an illusion). My mum and I call this process 'man eyebrows'.

Great shaped eyebrows are so important as a frame for the face. My problem is probably having too many hairs which don't seem to like being tamed. I also never really achieve a true arch either as my brows are quite flat. I go to a professional eyebrow shaper / waxer every couple of months for a touch up, but between appointments I do my best to manage the strays.

Very useful article, I had never heard of brow gel before. I have wild eyebrows, VERY long hairs which need to be regularly plucked and sometimes trimmed because of their length. I also have gaps in some places. I'll be looking out for the eyebrow gel.

I forgot to mention, to help cover the sparse bits you can put a bit of eyelash tint onto your eyebrows and it stains the skin a bit and will last a bit longer than just filling them in with eyebrow pencil.

I have very thick and dark eyebrows that are a little wild too, but after only a year or so of some waxing and plucking, some areas stopped growing back. Thankfully, it was only areas I didn't *want* to grow back but it made me put down my tweezers for good - they are too easy to ruin.

Eyebrows? What eyebrows :(
My biggest mistake was to think that going to a salon for a wax and shape was safe. Walked out with arches in the wrong area, think of a clown, and way too thin. Now its a slow process to fix them. Thank goodness for brow dust and a steady hand, and if all that fails there is always tatoo

Cooper6 maybe you could try a desensitising cream that I think they talked about in one of the other eyebrow articles. I think you just rub it on your eyebrows and it desensitises the area when you pluck. This could help.

There is definitely a few things a therapist should do to help, first of all consult the client as to how she likes her brows, if she has had them shaped and waxed by a professional before and what her experience was like, I myself am called the "eyebrow queen" because i do eyebrows for the clients face, i have never had a client unhappy and while servicing the client i do one brow, show and advice and question my client to her thoughts, there is a set way for a therapist to shape correctly if anyone wants tips just let me know.

In response to Cooper6, can i ask do you always suffer this way? And do you go to the same therapist every time?

Posted by: Tips2Toes (Boort, Australia)

Another tip, wherever you choose to go make sure the person about to do your brows is certified, they should have a CERTIFICATE on the wall not a STATEMENT OF ATTAINMENT, and on this certificate there will be a triangle symbol which proves they have been trained It will have small writing below it that says "Nationally Recognised Training".
If in doubt ask them where and when they were trained and if it was an RTO.
The reason = Trained to the Australian National Standard.
In general hairdressers in there apprenticeship DO NOT train to wax, they may independantly train but some hairdressers are trained in-house not at an RTO. For those hairdressers out there that are the exception, good on you!

If you want a pair of perfectly-shaped brows, I think you should use eyebrow stencils or shapers.
Go online and find your right brow shapes then there you go.

For example, I have a round face shape so the best type of brows for me is arch eyebrows. Simple as that.

I am a little worried about my eyebrows. I do not want to make them thinner (they appear to be rather thick), but the hairs themselves are rather long - if, by accident, I were to pluck the wrong hair it would leave a rather ugly gap in my eyebrows, making them look out of shape.

The number one beauty no no for me is plucking your eyebrows too thin. I used to be victim myself but thank god I saw some sense. There is nothing more beautiful than thick, shapely, beautiful brows which frame the face. Take women like Keira Knightley, Natalia Vodianova and Charlotte of Monaco for example. Tadpole brows are also a huge no no for me

i think tattoo brows look unnatural, but priming them does take a little work

Obviously a very helpful article after so many comments. I get mine professionally waxed and they look so much better and symmetrical for once. They dont grow back as fast either

I'm always worried about over plucking - slow and steady is the only way for me!

Just as long as you don't end up looking like Sandra from Masterchef - she looks like she's had to end up tattooing hers on!!

I have the same problem as so many of the other readers . . . years of plucking and shape-changing have left my brows a little sparse. I've tried pencil and shadow but had never even heard of an eyebrow gel. I must give it a go!

I have the problem of my dark eyebrows starting to turn ginger! Is this natures way of easing me into grey?

I have sparse Asian eyebrows and I've tried eyebrow gels but they don't seem to work well on me. Maybe it's because my hairs are too short. My eyebrow pencil Holy Grail has to be Shu Uemura's hard formula eyebrown pencil in Seal Brown. The pencil formula apparently works best with the natural oils in the hair folicles and it gives me a very natural look without the reddish tint that some brown pencils have. It's expensive, but so worth it! Also, it seems to last for ages and ages! I bought mine a month and half ago, use it every day and I have not had to sharpen it once yet! This pencil will last me a lifetime!

i am Italian, and though i do not have much hair what i have is black, so plucking and waxing and shaping etc is a must, my sister on the other hand is fair haired and had the same problem as yourself, tinting is a great way to get rid of this problem BUT this will eventually make your eyebrow hairs fall out... just like hair dying does to your hair. another alternatve is tattoing, unlike some of the extremly over done ones u have probably seen here or there it Can be done tastefully, another tip for the game is HENNA, not as permenant but WILL last a while

Hair spray or normal hair gel works the same... much cheaper

I hated the shape of my eyebrows. I bought the Ardell Brow perfection stencil and shaped my eyebrows to one of them be plucking and letting it grow in places. Now I use the Ardell brow powder and gel and pluck them and they are so much better. I don't worry about them anymore!
