Am in my 50s and with age my once-full brows have thinned to where I must draw them in a lot with a pencil. I've not found a brow pencil that truly stays on through sweating and wearing sunglasses.  Whenever I take off my sunglasses most of my brows have come off as well. I hate this!  And I've used them all---IT, Mally, YBF brow pencils. They all sweat off. Anyone know of brow product  that will actually not sweat off?

I've had good luck even when outside pulling weeds or whatever in the heat and the sweat starts dripping from my head and it's running down my face with the Anastasia Brow Wiz pencil. If I get something to wipe the sweat away when it comes to my eyebrows I dab, not wipe. Like you, I used to have full thick eyebrows, no more, most are gone.

Have you tried the e.l.f. brow pencil? It's only $2! What have you got to lose? It's a top-rated product and sold in many places. Comes in three shades...taupe, med brn and dk brown.

Are they thinning or just getting lighter? Mine have seemed lighter than they were.

 

I use Revlon Brow Fantasy. I haven't tried the pencil part of it but the liquid part that looks like a mascara works great. Really stays on and I've worn it when I was out in brutal heat and sweating.

 

This product should really get more love.

Why not go get a brow shape and consult with them. Brow bars are everywhere. Anastasia has them in some Nordstrom, usually the larger stores.

Both--they have thinned considerably and are light in color so it looks like I have no brows.  Thanks for the suggestions!  Will check out e.l.f and Revlon products. It's just frustrating that all the high-end ones have failed me so far. I thought IT was supposed to stay on thru anything.

I live in Kansas so no Nordstrom close by. I have seen Anastasia products in Sephora.

Latisse has helped my brows come back in, and water proof mascara is my favorite brow product !
