@Icegoddess Just FYI, when microblading they actually do a specific measurement of the bone structure of your face to get  the correct symmetry.   Also they will draw them on first and color them in so you can see what they will look like.  I don't wear makeup generally at all and I always have the perfect brows.   They look real and actually make my eyes look pretty!

My niece is a hair stylist and she can't believe how nice they look........go for it!

I'm not much on those catapillar brows...  too much on the face to me.  My brows are the typical fuller closest to inner eye, then taper.  While I still have plenty brow hair,  I am finding grey hairs in them.  But they are camaflouged well with my ELF brow pencil.  My brows look like brows.  I get them waxed maybe every 4 months.  I maintain them on my own in between.

 

I too agree with @monicakm  that the models probably can't wait to wash all that stuff off their faces.  I channel flip at night and may catch a make up show on QVC while flipping through.  A lot of those models have bad skin.  No doubt because of the layers of pore blocking stuff on their faces.

All I can say is that some of these eyebrows are a bit too much!  In real life,  I see very few exagerated brows like we see on tv.  Yes a little brow pencil or powder is a good thing and needed (at least for me) but...

You certainly do not need to be a prof or a model to have great or nice brows. I am neither and have really decent brows that I can do myself. I don't have much of an end or tail to either one but with the right product that I finally found and love to use, works great for me.

 

Every couple of months I do see someone to do a wax which boils down to not much because I do keep my brows clean of spare hairs under the brow line. I also have her tint away the greys which is the best thing I do for myself. My girl does a great job, she's a very sweet, soft spoken woman (35ish or so), and very good at what she does. Brows look great afterwards then I take over. With the tint, I just really need to fill in the tails.

 

Product I swear by you ask? I found it here purely by accident because like 99% of us, continue to find the "perfect" brow product. Mine is called 'Full Brow 3 in 1 Brow Fibre' only $16.00 (in the pink box).  Don't know if it's still here or not but you can google this brand and find it online. It's a good color/shade, lays down gently fibers to fill in. After years of trying, buying and throwing in the trash only a zillion other brow products, THIS IS THE BEST I've ever found.

 

Full Brow 3 in 1 Brow Fibre - THIS ONE WORKS great, so easy to use, they stay put and does not flake anywhere ever, removes very easy at the end of the day, one product, nice brush to use, PERFECT! I encourage everyone to try this product for brows.

 

PS - convinced that pencils which everybody sells, makes, touts are the best. NOT - all you have is a pencil line. You can't rub it out, you can't shape it out, it's just a line and it's very distinctive to see. It just looks like a line.

I don't like over the top brows like Courtney K.  And, microblading hurts like he!!.

@monicakm   I won't be changing my brows either- my straight bushy Brooke Shields style brows are timeless Smiley Very Happy! I bet all of the girls who are going to thin out and pluck their eyebrows in 2024 to keep with the trends will regret it.

@SportyShorty07 I don't need any help thinning out my brows.  They're doing it on their own, LOL.

@LindaSal , are your brows graying yet?  Seems like that would require some extra upkeep.

Hi @Icegoddess   No graying brows here, actually no natural brow at all remains.  Not to repeat myself  but I am a breast cancer survivor and lost them all with chemo several years ago.....they never grew back.  Thankfully my hair did though Smiley Happy    

 

I would think the ladies that specialize in this field have a way to deal with that.   I am 63 and I saw some women there older than me having theirs done too.
