You know, I've been seriously thinking of buying Latisse. The thing is, I've spent so much money already on the "natural"  lash and brow growth products and they haven't worked. Do you think Latisse is worth a try?

I believe Sephora has a brow shaper service.

@KKJ...Get your Thyroid TSH levels checked!!

 

I used to have very thin (1/2) eyebrows, meaning the 1/2 furthest away from middle of my forehead  were non-existent (very common symptom)...Doc saw it, checked my TSH level..was above average...started me on Synthroid & within the first year my eyebrows are back to their old self...very full & thick.

 

FYI this is one of the most overlooked health issues "older Ladies" have including me...so glad my Doc recogned the problem, tested me & prescribed the correct meds.

 

Good-Luck & hope that helps!Smiley Wink

I have found that a gel base is the best for me.  Thinning, overplucking, and having pre-cancerous whatevers burned off and leaving scar tissue and no hair has left me with an eyebrow problem.  I seriously want them put on permanently but have not found someone I trust yet.  I am a light gold blonde and do not want them too dark AND I have no taupe in my hair or eyebrows.... so.....

 

I really like Revlon's gel brow, sticks to my scar tissue, and stays on pretty well.  I was using IT's gel pencil but got fed up with about 1 inch of product that constantly broke off AND paying $30 for it.

 

BTW, I use two of the Revlon colors, the blonde and the light brown, sort of mixing them by lightly putting the light brown on top of the taupe.  It's been working for me.....  Woman Happy 

 

Good luck.... I know how hard this is....

I've been using this for a week now and absoultely love it.  5 bucks at Wallyworld.  Lasts until I take it off.  It mimics microblading.  Very believeable.  A young lady at work complimented me the first day.  I shared with her, she came in this morning and her brows looked fabulous.  If you do decide to use it, try it out the night/day before as it does require a very light touch.  Comes in two colors.  Unless your hair is jet black, I recommend using the "Universal Taupe."  Therer are vids on youtube for reference. 

 

Also, if your brows are thinning and if you have it on hand, you might want to try applying some coconut oil on your clean brows for an hour or so everyday.  Be sure to wipe off prior to your head hitting the pillow.

 

Good luck!

I just turned 62 and was essentially browless.  I had the permanent brows (tattooed) and love them.  They make such a difference in the way they frame my face.  Do it!!!!

@KKJ

 

At 73, the once thick, black brows are but a memory until I use Anastasia liquid brow marker.

 

You can sweat and the look remains.  Tried the Stila and it works also....just seems as though you don’t get much product for the money by comparison.
