I had mine waxed once, just so I could see what my brows *should* look like when done well. After that, I just plucked what stray hairs I saw and tried to maintain the shape somewhat. I still experiment with plucking and trimming, and sometimes the results are good, other times not. Since I don't pluck a lot of hairs, I don't worry much about them not growing back.

For cosmetics, I don't use a brow pencil, because I find that it makes my brows look fake. I use powder instead. I use the Jane Iredale Itty Bitty Brow Kit (silly name, I know) for brunettes. I have found it to be a nice color for my brows. (My brows are actually black, but they look best when filled in with a color that is a bit lighter.) I read somewhere that the best color for brunettes is kind of an ashen brown, not too warm. That describes the color in this brow kit. If I need a more dramatic look, I use Jane Iredale's Dark Espresso eyeshadow, which is darker but still on the cooler end of the spectrum.

I use an angled eyeliner brush to very lightly apply the powder first of all on my arch (I had a makeup artist tell me once to start at the arch, because it can be darker than the rest of the brow without looking weird). Then I move out from there, doing the outline of the top and bottom of the brow first, then filling in. When I get near the nose, I go very lightly, fading off to nothing. Most makeup artists recommend using a very light hand on the inner edge of the brow. I finish by brushing the brow with a spoolie, which helps even out the powder.

I just use tweezers from time to time to clean my brows up, I never had anything done to them professionally. For the last two years I've started to use a brow pencil and some clear brow gel (one of those mascara like things) on most days. I use the pencil very sparingly and you can't really see the brows are done, but they are not invisible anymore. Btw, if someone is looking for a really ashy cool blonde brow pencil - Artdeco Eye Brow Pencil #4. It took a while to find one that wasn't too warm for me.

That's a great eyebrow tutorial, Gigi! Thanks for sharing it. It helps that she has well defined eyebrows to begin with though.

Joyce, I use this kit:

Traci, head to the Anastasia counter at Nordies. They will help you out.

Thanks, Angie!

Traci - The brow tinting just colors the eyebrow hairs, not the skin underneath.

I tweeze regularly. My eyebrows look sparse because some hairs are white (my eyelashes are mostly white, too). I use a taupe-colored pencil eyeliner to fill them in. I guess I could use a brow pencil, bit the eyeliner pencil is the right color and looks natural.

I tweeze the endless strays and when I am in the mood darken with pencil - a little lighter than my almost black brows. Although my eyebrows are pretty thick, filling them in gives them maximum impact.

I ought to learn how to pay more attention to my brows so am browsing through this thread. I've just plucked and trimmed them on my own my whole life. I do like a strong brow and a defined but gentle arch. I'd like to try a slightly auburn-toned powder so that my brows pick up a little the red that's in my hair, but wood need help selecting a shade that doesn't look goofy.
I had heard good things about Anastasia products, but I wasn't impressed by the brow pencil I picked up from them. It seemed shoddy; hard to apply, and broke easily. I didn't have help at the counter though so perhaps I picked up a dud.

I struggle with the "pain" (!) of tweezers, waxing and threading! But I do go for threading every 4 weeks or so. I also have some very handy little Tinkle Eyebrow shaper trimmers which are great, not painful at all and super easy to use!

For awhile I had them done, until I realised they weren't growing back. So now I tweeze really stray hairs, brush, and feather pencil to fill. I actually use a dark brown although my eyebrows are black. Black is too dark and fake.

Bought some stencils, like, 20 years ago. They're still sitting there untouched, lol.

I use the Anatasia Beverly Hills wax pencil & duo powder. I got samples of the very popular dip brow, but didn't like it for me.
I heard some good stuff about Wet n Wild eyebrow mascara & might try that.
