How To Get Full, Thick Eyebrows Now In Style

Irishrose136 — Fri, 18 Jul 2014 02:56:15 GMT

I see that beauty magazines and blogs and pictures of stars - the emphasis has returned to thick, full but well-shaped eyebrows.

I don't think my own natural brows ever looked that full, even in my heyday. But now my first priority has been filling in sparse, aging brows and teasing the look to extend the length of the brow after the arch, without looking like a phony drawn-on line.

I use a Dalton (Doll 10) Airless Crème Brown Fix in brunette. It came with a brush that has a spoolie on one end and a short, stiff, slanted brush on the other. It's been lasting forever. The packaging keeps the crème from drying out.

My question: How are you getting your brows to look fuller - not just inside the outline, but to enlarge the outline of the brow to make the brow a stronger statement on the face?

Is that possible to do without looking incredibly fake?

Or am I doomed to thin and scraggly......

Thanks, Beauties!

I think brows are kind of like lips in that you can kind of BARELY go outside the line, and then they just look drawn on. Have you ever tried the brow guides? The plastic ones that you put over your brow, and then fill in, so they are even? It might be good to get some and kind of see how much you can do without it looking too dramatic, if that makes sense. I also think a setting gel, especially colored, helps to give the brows definition, and a really crisp look. I have pretty good brows, and my mother wouldn't let me pluck them except for strays. I do have a shorter tail than I'd like, but I just draw a little on for that. The beginning of my brow is more sparse than I prefer, but I use a pencil or Anastasia Dipbrow (that stuff is freaking amazing!), and groom with blonde or clear gel. Because I'm fair with blonde hair, I gave to have a decent brow or they disappear, but have to be careful not to make them too dark. That makes them scary lol! Those are my techniques, and while I don't have the exact same issues as you, I think some of these things might help? At least I hope so. And if it makes you feel better, I've gotten numerous compliments on my brows, and have friends that like for me to groom and shape them.

I was never into waxing my brows, so they are pretty full. I really like Mally's brow gel in taupe. It comes in a pencil-like tube and one swipe on each brow works in a flash. I also like IT's YBBB pencil.

Didn't have luck with Laura Geller's brow products, etc.

Hmmm, I have the same issues as Future except my brows are sparse at the tail rather than the beginning. I've had success adding in the morning but I've never been successful in the tail staying all day. I've tried a few products that are supposed to take care of that but no great shakes. The rest of the brows are strawberry blonde to red and just disappear on my face if I don't help them a I bit. Just like Future they can be scary if too dark.

The Dalton you have posted looks exactly like the recently released Too Faced product that is supposed to last all day. How long does it last for you, Irish?

All day..........until I wash my face just before bed. That's why I've never switched to a different product. You can control the amount used......it looks realistic......and stays all day.

I went to Anastasia's site when someone talked about the contour palette. I saw the dipbrow and the stencils. So I should try those Future? Using a gel sets them?

Will the dipbrow give the look of tiny real hairs?

eta: I sense a trip to Ulta in my future.....

How about this Saturday? I'll bring some nice salads for us for lunch.

My supervisor has been struggling with this same thing for many years. She turned 60 this year, and as a special treat for that milestone, she got her eyebrows tattooed at an upscale day spa.

She is very satisfied with the results, and likes not having to deal with the extra step of drawing her brows on every morning and "hoping for the best". They look great, quite natural, and I'm glad that doing this one small thing made her feel better about herself.

If I were near you, I'd totally do it!!! I LOVE salad, too! If you use a super fine brush, I think you could make the Dipbrow look like individual hairs. You might have more control with a pencil. I love it, but I think it's better for filling. She has a super fine pencil, and Ulta and sephora should carry it, if you need to look at colors. The Dipbrow does wear well for me when I use it on the tail. Also, have you thought about Latisse (or Careprost, the generic from overseas pharmacies)? I'm using it for my lashes and I put it on the beginning of my brows, and I've noticed they are filling in more. Not a guarantee, but might be worth a shot?? HTH! Oh, and I always use brow gel. It just gives a groomed and polished look, IMO.

FUTURE — Fri, 18 Jul 2014 04:19:05 GMT

Oh, and at Sephora (you could try Ulta, but I feel you'll have better luck at Sephora or even Nordies), you could have them use the stencils and Dipbrow or fine pencil and see if you like the look before you buy. They might have some expert tips, too!! I'm no expert. Just a girl who is a freak about my brows. Lol!

I am having great results with that Color Tattoo cream eyeshadow in taupe applied with a BE Brow powder brush.Then I go over the brows with Benifit Gimme Brow to emphasize the hairs.My brows stay on through 90+ degrees walk/runs at the park. They look natural for a very ski.oh natural brow.

Not a highjack, but wanted to say I have been using the generic Latisse for several months and have been putting it on my eyebrows too. I was not really expecting much, but I do have new hairs coming in and the best part, they are not white! In fact they are the darker color like when I was young. Not a huge amount of new hairs, but enough to fill in, and I'm happy.

I have color put on my eyebrows and forget trying to pencil them in, everything looks fake on me because my brows are so light.

There was a story on GMA this morning regarding ladies who are getting hair transplants from their heads to their eyebrows. These transplants are done by a plastic surgeon and cost about $7,000, depending on where you live. They transplant one hair follicle at a time and the surgery is very lengthy. After the transplant, it takes about a year for the eyebrows to start looking normal and hairs to be trained and shaped. But several ladies said they were thrilled with how their eyebrows looked.

Nothing I would ever do, but thought I'd mention it.

I'm not sure how to get a full brow, for the last few yrs I've used Dalton Brow fix to fill in with much success & with having them professionally done once a mth. I can go without makeup but I won't even go to bed without my brows on!! A must. I might try this Dalton product after I finish the Brow fix. It last quite awhile.

Every time I see a woman, with drawn on eyebrows, she always has a perpetual look of surprise on her face.

I love the fuller brow & your post is making me realize that I really like using a brush and powder-type product better than a pencil, and I may go back to that sorta product. Currently I'm using the YBF pencil, which is just fine, but the brush applicator of the DOLL product looks better for this look. NYX used to make a product called Browser, which came with a little pan of color powder and clear brow gel. I find that I have a hard time with the tails of my brows. They don't go as far out, past my arch, as I'd like them to. And drawing that portion on is often tricky. I get mine waxed every 4 weeks, and if I wait longer I'm miserable. However, the denser my brows are the better they look.

I saw this too, toto two, and couldn't believe that anyone, ANYONE, could think that was the best they could do with $7000!

My brows are very sparse. I find that the combination of Anastasia Dipbrow applied lightly to create an improved shape and then shaded and defined more with Brow Wiz works well for me. Using either one alone does not give the natural results that I get using both. I finish off with a light coat of Clear Brow Gel.

I love "Gimme Brow" by Benefit. Although my brows are still fairly thick, some are turning white. Gimme Brow changes the color and adds little fiber pieces that thicken and fill in. Love it -- my first time ever using a brow product and I'm in my mid-50s.

From Benefit: " This innovative brush-on fiber gel adheres to skin & hair…creating brows where before there were none. It builds easily for thick, lush arches, thanks to a tapered brush for blending & precision tip for shaping. Available in two shades.

INNOVATIVE BRUSH-ON FIBER GEL:

• Water resistant

• Long-wearing

• Natural-looking

• Buildable
