IF YOU HAVE VERY SPARSE EYEBROW HAIR .........

Tinkrbl44 · ‎08-23-2010

What do you use ?

I don't have a lot of body hair and when I was younger my eyebrows were only "adequate". Back then, I used a chubby pencil to add a little more color to them, and after I set my whole face makeup with translucent powder, I'd brush the eyebrows with brown mascara, which worked very well.

These days, I have even less brow hairs and don't have the patience to use those thin pencils to draw 200 eyebrow hair strokes on each eye each morning ...... can't do it. ${#emotions_dlg.crying}$

So ....... if you have skimpy eyebrows, what do YOU do ??? ${#emotions_dlg.confused1}$

Please check your thyroid, as sparse brows can signify low thyroid.

Start by going to get your brows professionally done.

perhaps a eyebrow tattoo may be something to look into. If done well it can be very nice.

My friend has painfully thin brows. She gets them tattooed. They look great!

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.

I second getting your thyroid checked. I have to use a brow powder now instead of pencils. I don't have the patience, either!

Did that ...... it's hereditary ..... my sisters don't have much body hair, either. ${#emotions_dlg.unsure}$

I have a friend who wears eyebrow "wigs." They look very natural. She glues them on every day.

I use a brow powder from Merle Norman. It goes on with a stiff brush, and I think it looks very nice. I think Joan Rivers' hair fill-in powder would be about the same thing.

Some people do drugs. I do shoes....Celine Dion

I see. I have that now that I am way past menopause. Never need to shave and my eyebrows are not great anymore either.

I have sparse brows, and no brow after the arch (from over tweezing, not thyroid). I purchase the It Build a Brow in the pot & have been using it for about a week. It looks natural & does not budge, whereas with a pencil I had to reapply at least once a day. I would suggest trying it.
