Revisiting Brows

It's time for me to revisit this topic. Maybe you all can help. I need suggestions for what you consider the best brow fiber/gel to help sparse brows. I am 63 and it looks like I need a Taupe color but am still stumped on the product. I had been using Tarte products but it had long dried out. Still love the brush.

Im 73 and my brows were never thick to begin with. Now they are thinner than ever.

Lately I have been using ELF wax eyebrow pencil that I got on Amazon. I have their blonde color, which is a medium taupe. I have to be careful not to get too much on or my brows will be dark. If I get them too dark I take a qtip and light rub some off. Its not the best but its the best I have ever found.

I like IT universal eye brow pencil. But I am using Benefit #3 pencil that I really like. Got that one color matched to me at the Brow Bar in Macys.

I am 66, I like an ELF product also but a different one. Mine is a clear gel on one side of the app, put that on first to get them in place, then other side of the app is a spoolie with color and just shape the brows with that after the gel, I use the Light shade as well, they run dark.

I use the It cosmetics universal pencil. I have tried several different brands, and this one works best for me.

I have thought about getting the microblading, I think its called, but its not cheap and its something you have to keep up.

Anastasia Dip Brow. And their brow brush also.

Ulta,

Took me a little practice, so easy to use too much.

Barely dip brush, and I do mean barely.

Excellent product. Holds up really well.

I loved the Models Prefer universal taupe (their only color). Then it disappeared from QVC, and I found Wet 'n Wild's taupe pencil, which I used for years. Now, that LONG pencil has been discontinued, but some dollar stores are selling them, so I have a few of those.

Meanwhile, I found out (from someone here--Thank you!) that YBF (on the "other channel" lol) is the reincarnation of the old Models Prefer brand, and the presenter even said so in the online video, so I picked up the duo. Sure enough, it's the same formula. In fact, other than YBF having a red barrel (MP's was silver), it's exactly the same.

I just bought the new Urban Decay Brow Blade and love it. I am 69 and still have very nice brows. However, the tail on my left brow is barely there. This product gives the option of using both the ink or the pencil side. Can also use both together. I have blonde highlighted hair and was matched at Sephora with Dark Drapes. It's a beautiful match for my brows. This might be my favorite brow product that I have ever purchased.

i am a big fan of the clinique superfine brow pencil. it's the best i have found to put my "tails" on. for the thicker part of my brown i am using doll 10 now, or sometimes the ybf, but the clinique is the best for the tails.

I've tried quite a few brow products but I always come back to YBF (HSN) brow pencil. It's a universal shade so there is no guessing. Just apply a different amount of pressure on the pencil and it will darken. I like it because it is easy to handle if you're not a brow "pro". It is also budget friendly.

I'm a big fan of the e.l.f. brow pencil. But since I have been using Careprost (Latisse generic) on my brows, I have no need to use a brow pencil any more. My brow tails have grown back and the rest of them are very filled in and full. I'm elated!

I have used several different brow products, drugstore and higher end brands, gels, powders, and pencils. Regardless of brand I prefer a pencil with a spoolie brush on one end. I can control the color by applying different amounts of pressure with the pencil and then use the spoolie brush to blend. I did switch from taupe to a blond shade as I aged. The taupe was just too dark for my aging fair skin and highlighted dark blonde hair. I have never liked super dark brows with blond hair anyway.

What a bunch of great ideas! Thanks to all. I will try the IT one and see what happens I think. I am tired of looking half finished. Doesn't help that I wear glasses and that's all I see is above my eyes.

@Just4Me

Just For Men mustache and beard works great for enhancing what you have and when I'm not doing that I like the eyebrow mascaras. I did just order the jelly brow tint from HSN and I will let you know how it goes
