eyebrows

I have not used anything as far as color on my eyebrowns for probably 20 years. Over the last 15 years or so my brows are now 50% gray... so much lighter than years ago. I quit coloring my hair in 2013, so My hair is pure silver white.

I had some Bare minerals eye brow powder that I probably bought 20 years ago in a small pot... since it never goes bad, I tried a bit on my brows and much to my joy It looked really nice having a more defined brow rather than my half gray brows. It really made a difference! I have some other brow products as well that I bought years ago and never used... so will experiment with those too...

I always thought that the brow products made me look like Joan Crawford when my eyebrows were all one color.....but now with more grey hair in my brows, it seems I do need a bit of brow color to define my eyes better.

I still have about 1/3 of my BE eyebrow powder pot left too! I love it. Sadly it has been discontinued but I bought Clinique's Brow shaper in Charcoal and I like that too.

Nothing worse than grey eyebrows. I was browsing through and saw the Anastasia A438852 two-toned pots. The description says use the lighter color nose to arch, and the darker color arch to tail.

Huh? Nobody ever told me that. So I tried it with two pencils I have...... and it works. More natural and softer looking.

Something new every day.

@SeaMaiden I color my eyebrows with Just For Men Mustache & Beard Color in Blonde.

I still have to add a little shape to the top of my brow but it covers the grey & makes my brow look fuller.

Try Godefroy eyebrow tint. It works great for me. It's sold on Amazon.

My brows are very light now, too! And I have one brow which has way more hair in it than the other --- what's with that? I have tried and tried so many products and I just can't seem to get them to look right. I was going to a brow place for awhile but wasn't real crazy about the look I got there either. My biggest issue is the fact that the one brow is fuller than the other and I don't know how to get them to look even???

I'm glad you got yours figured out! I do think a brow that is more defined but not fake and too dark really adds a lot to the eyes and face.

@AngelPuppy1 Have you ever looked into tattoo of the brow? Maybe find someone with a really good reviews near you. I have seen some done that look so good! Maybe that could even out your brows .

No! I would be so scared the result would be bad and then I'd be stuck with it!!!!

I have never had "good/nice" eyebrows. Barely there in shape and color. Now even more so at 56 (graying too). Products were never great for me. Never thought it looked right. Went to someone once for my eyebrows and came out so bad. She plucked what little I had. I have used Just For Men moustache on my brows two times and it will be what I do for now on. I came across is on YouTube. I'm still fine tuning how long to keep it on, so I've been doing 10-15 minutes at a time. Put it on, take it off, check color, repeat if needed. I especially like not putting on a brow everyday. Did it right before a cruise and didn't worry about it.
