I've never had my eyebrows done, but it sounds like it is worth it! I do think that eyebrows are an important part of the face and can do a lot to enhance our appearance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1295757 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 02:13:55 +0000 Suja 1295757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did it! I got my brows plucked/threaded for the first time ever. I really love the shape she put into my eyebrows. I told her about my concern of losing too much of my brow and she took that into account. It took about 40 minutes. I went to a lady who works out of her home (I know, scary). She had great reviews on Yelp so I thought I would give her a try. Plus she lives just a couple blocks from me in Kirkland. She owned a beauty salon in Iran for 30 years and just recently came to America. I've been getting compliments from family members. So excited to have added a little something extra to my overall look. I will be shopping for brow powder or a pencil tomorrow! Thanks for all the suggestions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1295075 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 21:20:47 +0000 Gigi 1295075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have read that castor oil can help with hair growth in the eybrows and eyelashes. I see that DonnaF has had some good results there...good to know that it actually works! (I've never actually tried it.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1294740 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 13:23:31 +0000 Susan 1294740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Make-up Forever's Aqua Brow. It is a cream in a tube that you apply with a firm angle brush. It stays on until you wash it off. I live in a hot humid climate and this stays on through anything, including swimming and sleep. There is a YouTube video on how to apply it. You only use a small amount each time so it's not as pricey as you might think. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1294617 Fri, 04 Jul 2014 05:46:03 +0000 Jeanie 1294617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suja, there are some great brow videos on Youtube that really helped me. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1294207 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 18:29:27 +0000 cinnamon fern 1294207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a third rec for that Clinique eyebrow pencil!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1294087 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 15:51:48 +0000 jackiec 1294087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suja, I swear by the same Clinique eyebrow pencil as Diane G :)</p> <p>I agree - and sounds like you have a plan - get a good shaping first, then figure out the product that's right for you. My outer eyebrows have been slowly disappearing on me as I age - and my brows overall have a thin shape (probably over plucked in my 20's). I used to have quite the unibrow. I am way overdue for a professional shaping. It does make all the difference in the world, and it's easy to just pluck strays for quite some time after that.</p> <p>Good luck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1294082 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 15:42:15 +0000 Glory 1294082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have very light blonde eyebrows. Recently they started to bald and I used vaseline on them every night.

If I run out of it I panic! I must have a spare at all times as I feel utterly naked without my sparse and patchy brows defined.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1288845 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 00:44:28 +0000 Anonymous 1288845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suja, you're right to be careful about getting your brows professionally shaped. If too much is taken from the outer half, sometimes it won't grow back in (this is a genetic thing, I'm told). I would ask friends for recommendations or even go to a shop and watch the technician doing the work until you feel comfortable with him/her. I would ask him/her to draw the shape they plan to create with a pencil first so that you can okay it. Once it's finished, you can easily pluck the stray hairs as they appear, using a magnifying mirror. Just check every morning and then they won't get out of control. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1288831 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 00:27:28 +0000 DonnaF 1288831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Castor oil applied with a q-tip just before bedtime helped to restore a bit of over-plucking and patchy areas in my eyebrows.&nbsp; If I get super ambitious, I may use a bit of eye shadow on them -- but in a taupey brown and not their actual black color.&nbsp; Black looks odd and artificial whereas taupe looks more like a shadow that the brow hairs above have created. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1288819 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 00:16:18 +0000 Angie 1288819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great strategy. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1288762 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 23:00:00 +0000 Janet 1288762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple of thin spots in my eyebrows (weird because OMG UNIBROW when I was a kid), and I've just recently started paying attention to that.

Only pluck really stray hairs. When I go for a groomed look (which is not often, I am RATE RATE RATE), I brush my brows to shape and use either a pencil to fill or powder and tiny, stiff, angled brow brush. I've used one of the clear gels before, but I find that too much fuss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1288719 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 22:26:21 +0000 Day Vies 1288719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I fill in my eyebrows with powder (eye shadow) from a super skinny angled brush (from MAC). I used to use pencils but they are too waxy for the most part and have that "heavy" look you describe.&nbsp; The key to keeping your eyebrows on your face (and not sliding off) for me is primer! My primer isn't some fancy brand either. I prime with a drop or two of <b>milk of magnesia</b> mixed into my daily moisturizer. It keeps my entire face perfect for 18 hours on average.&nbsp; Then I add my concealer then face powder. At that point I start my eyebrows then eye shadow.&nbsp; </p> <p>The first thing I recommend is getting your eyebrows shaped first (no make up just shaped) by a professional. Make sure you <i><b>like</b></i> the shape then continue to pluck the strays with a good tweezer (I have a Revlon tweezer that's perfect) to maintain that shape. I have had the same brow shape since I was 17 it really works for my face so at this point (a few years later ;-)!) I know my shape and can maintain it without professional help.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have to run but I'll check back in on your thread later if you have any questions or just send me a private message. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1288710 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 22:18:14 +0000 annagybe 1288710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/anastasia-beverly-hills-womens-makeup?campaign=0210boutiquep01">http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/an.....outiquep01</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1288707 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 22:16:41 +0000 Suja 1288707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Day Vies, do you fill in your eyebrows with makeup?&nbsp; </p> <p>For me, I would like to get a good eyebrow shape for my face which includes getting the strays pulled and creating the right arch but I also would like help selecting the right product to fill in the thin areas.&nbsp; Maybe they are two separate processes, get your brows shaped and then go to Sephora and ask for product recommendation?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1288700 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 22:09:58 +0000 Day Vies 1288700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Define thin -- My brows grow in thin so they look invisible when I don't wear make up. Or do you mean they cover a minimum amount of space. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-a-good-eyebrow-routine-for-someone-with-thin-brows#post-1288697 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 22:07:30 +0000 Suja 1288697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This morning's post got me thinking that I may have neglected my eyebrows as part of my style.  I have always wanted to get my brows done professionally, either waxing or threading, but I have thin brows and am a little worried about a procedure which only takes away and doesn't add.  Are there any eyebrow people (for lack of a better term) who also show you how to fill in thin areas in addition to pulling strays?  I sometimes try an eyebrow pencil or powder myself but whenever I do it, it looks too heavy.  Does anyone else have a similar concern about getting your brows waxed when they are already thin?  What do you do to keep them looking their best? </p>
