@Desertdi If it bothers you, try wetting an angled brush into a powder shadow and apply AFTER the gel which will set the area. Sometimes, just leaving it alone and making it your "signature" is OK.

@Shanus I love the idea of "making it my signature"!! It is really MORE than a scar....there is actually a DENT in the bone. I was hit by an icicle that fell off a skyscraper in the Chicago Loop...

Luckily there was a plastic surgeon still in the hospital when I got to the ER. Had over 125 stitches, and he did a very good "fix" on a huge mess. (No extra charge...he volunteered.) di

I had my eyebrows done recently. Nanoblading. It’s similar to microblading but it is done with a little machine. It is amazing how real they look, hair strokes, color, everything! It lasts 2-3 years & will fade slowly. Touch up’s can be done at any time to your liking whether 2 yrs or longer or less.

Holy cow @Desertdi - that must have been awful! Being in CA, I've heard of icicles falling off eaves of houses but never off of a skyscraper. Kind of glad we don't have icicles where I live.

Good morning @SurferWife . I like to begin with Benefit Brow Gel or the newer one that's called "fluff up something". Then I can see where the few bare spots are hiding.

When RMS was on, I purchased her brow pencil and powder w/ brush. For an every day natural look just powder over the gel. When I brows more precise and finished looking...that's when I go in with pencil first. after the gel.

Do you start with a pencil then go over it with a powder?

@Shanus - Watched the QVC video on rms beauty brow powder. Tried it quite a while ago and didn't like it but now I'm wondering if the reason I didn't like it was based more on ordering the wrong shade than it was the product itself. Do remember having a bit of trouble figuring out the brush but, again, that may have been more "operator error" than a product issue. There is a video on YT that "Younique by Melissa" has up today that shows her using rms beauty cream shadow as well as using the brow powder and pencil. Looks easier than I recall. Hmmm, beginning to wonder if I should try it again with the light shade.

@JudyL The brush is rounded and stiff to get the beginning of the brow not squared off like the usual angled brow brushes. Practice on the back of your hand before trying your brows...easier to wash off. Lol

Rose Marie uses shade medium with her fair skin and almost white hair. I use medium as well.

Have fun!

@Shirley in K I think I would like to have that done if I could trust them to do a good natural look. Would save me a lot of time.

I have a 3-step process. I use a pomade to start. Never liked pencils. The pomade doesn't seem to cover the grays that I'm not getting though. Then I'll use Gimme Brow and that covers the grays and brushes the hairs into a good position, and then a gel that holds them in place.

I could never get that perfectly shaped look though no matter how hard I tried. Not doing stencils.

I use the RMS brow powder in medium. It looks natural with my auburn hair. I really do love that brush, too!

@SurferWife - thanks for letting me know that you use the Medium. So does @Shanus and that is the one I ordered. May try it again even though I'm using a pencil right now that I really like. Feel like I'm contantly looking for the eyebrow product that will work for me.
