Eyebrows

Marebear54 — Fri, 23 Dec 2016 19:34:12 GMT

I have used YBF for years, but not liking it so much anymore. I have fairly nice brows, but thinning, any recommendations for product that makes them look natural? Thank you for any suggestions! Merry Christmas!

There are so many different types of brow products that I know you will get quite a variety of recommendations.

My preference is just to use a pencil. I was using It Cosmetics Skinny Brow in Universal, but they replaced it with something else. So now I am using Anastasia Brow Wiz in Taupe and like it much better than the It one.

It's a perfect color for my light brown brows, and it is very subtle looking.

I have tried so many, because I have problem brows....I love Wander for eyebrows: it's a thin pencil, and works beautifully. Alas, I found I had to spend more time than I wanted to making my brows look right. I was in love with 100%Pure (evine), but for some inexplicable reason, it stopped working after two months. Maybe it began to dry out.

I was at the drug store and the Elf display caught my eye: how could I go wrong for a little over a dollar: I have used it for two months now, and I love it. You get two shades ( I bought Deep) and it's fast and fixes my problems and does not come off. ( it washes off easily however). It does come with two little applicators-ok in a pinch, but I would recommend a Spooky and an angled brush-which I already have, but if you don't, their brushes will not break the bank.

I'm doing great with this set from Laura Geller and I was heavilly tweezed. It looks SO natural and no pencil marks!

I received a sample of Benefit 's Gimme Brow, and it is now my go to . My ebrows are light , sparse in some spots and wires in others, in other words a real PITA. Gimme Brow makes my brows look normal, I just love it ❤️

Get Benefit brow, I buy mine on HSN called Benefit Giveme Brow Voluminizing Eyebrow Gel.

I actually get compliments on my eyebrows. Mine are like your's might be now, they are getting thin (mine is due to lack of thyroid and age). I use this because it is a gel and it adds just enough color and it has tiny hairs in it that make your brows more full.

I like Too Faced Bulletproof Brows - I go between this and YBF pencils. If I want more dramatic I use the Too Faced. Stays on all day.

I can count the number of hairs in my brows. For years I swore by Anastasia's products. The last few years I've converted to Lacome Le Crayon Poudre Eyebrow pencil in taupe.

I loved Two Faced Bulletproof Brows too! I use it lightly over a taupe pencil and it lasts all day.

I will second that or any product like it. I also like the Just For Men beard and mustache dye for my brows. What I do have is very blonde so I dye them darker so they actually show up! But filling them in with the mascara / fiber type brow products is terrific too as well as being quick and simple

Be careful what you wish for. For years I used Benefit's Instant Brow wooden pencil and desperately wanted an automatic. So they came out with one, the lead is very short and doesn't go on as well as the wooden pencil. They sure don't last very long. So now the quest begins again.

@Marebear54 I like the IT universal eyebrow pencil. Depending on how hard or soft you press down, the lighter or darker it is....much like the YBF pencil but more natural looking IMO.

I never had to tweeze my brows to shape them, but they are long and tended to be unruly. I had them trimmed when I had my hair cut. Maybelline used to have a gel that was great. Kept them neat.

Now - I trim them myself with one of those trimmer gadgets and since they are now white - dye them. I put a dab of styling cream on an old toothbrush to tame them when necessary.

My problem is that I have a very fair cool complexion and salt & pepper hair (more salt than pepper) and my choices in brow colors are usually black, brown, red or taupe. Seldom do I see something that would compliment my coloring and taupe (often touted as a neutral) just looks brown on me. I'd like to see something in a light grey.

I swear by Hourglass' brow pencil. It's pricey but has a ton more product than other pencils on the market, so it lasts forever and is worth the price tag - like months and months of daily use. It also is a unique shape and works on brows that are thin or thick and fills in great. Have used this for years. It also stays on through sweat and humid WI. summers.

Anastasia makes one of their eyebrow pencils in graphite - looks medium grey on me and I also have salt and pepper hair.

I've also used YBF for years and have become disenchanted. Brown are my greatest cosmetic problem. I've tried all sorts of products but none has really been satisfactory. I have a chicken pox scar in each eyebrow which pencils catch on and go wonky. My "tails" are non-existent. I need help.

@namaste000, that was my thought as well.
