I used to have really nice eyebrows like Liz taylor but 1 day i got carrried away with the tweezers and made them really thin and short. Ive not touched them for two weeks and theyre growing back but look terrible. I just want them to go back to normal so i can get them done professionally, but they look so bad im tempted to tweeze them away again. What should i do?

Eeeeuckkkk that's horrible, I empathise. It is difficult when that happens.
Grit your teeth and wait for them to grow. You could just trim any really wild ones, but try to leave the rest. Put vasilene on them at night. Wear sunglasses during the day until they grow?
This too will pass!

Don't touch them! We've all done what you did and yes it looks awful... but if you want a chance to ever get it right again, patience is the word. Wait another two to four weeks and then go and see a pro.
In the meantime, you can reduce the dammage by either covering your eyebrows with a fringe (if you have one) or use an eyebrow pencil or powder to draw them and make them look more defined. Bodyshop's got good stuff for that and they're usually very helpful in giving you advice or showing you how it's done.

You can create bangs that would draw attention away from them. Or get a brow pencil or powder to make them look better. Don't tweeze them away again or you will continue to be unhappy with them. Just try to wait it out till they grow enough to be professionally done. Eyebrows don't take too long to grow back once they've started, so just be patient.

Put the tweezers down and pick up an eyebrow pencil! Theres so much choice these days, you can get pencils and powders...Just remember to fill in the gaps/fill out your eyebrows with short feathery strokes to imitate the hairs-never draw a line!Let them grow out. As an owner of sparse, blond eyebrows i have always coveted big black forties style eyebrows and have been filling them in with eyebrow pencil most of my adult life!
Have also read about eyebrow tatooing, apparently very common in places like dubai where its too hot for too much makeup. Would love to try it but would be terrified!

Get permanent make up or micropigmentation! It is fantastic cost between 300-400 quid but well worth it. It does little hair stokes to look like hair and has brilliant results! Makes an enomous difference to people and your eyebrow will be symetrical and exactly how you like them. I do this procedure my self and can happily supply you with before and after photo and testimonials. Angelina Jolie has them done, as has maddonna and Whitney Houston along with many others!! I do seven treatments a week, so it is a popular treatment!

Please don't tweeze them until they have fully grown in!!! Buy a brow brush and a brow pencil. Target has great brow brushes and go to a MAC counter and ask for the appropriate pencil color that will disguse patches. NO BLACK PENCIL! Too obvious, and u'll look like a punk rocker.

LEAVE THEM ALONE! Believe me I know it's hard to do but it's only for a few weeks - if you let them grow back properly now chances are they'll be fine, but if you overpluck them again and again they will never grow back properly. if you must, pluck the stray hairs low down underneath your eyebrow but leave the main part of your brow alone to sort itself out.

wait until they grow in more, then go get them waxed, they will reshape them for you, making it easier for you to do tweezer upkeep once they begin to grow in again...
step away from the tweezers for now though, before you have a scared expression on your face from over tweezing...

Comb your bangs over your eyes as much as possible and tough it out. You might also be able to fill them in a little bit with an eyebrow pencil.

I think it would be a good idea to get a professional waxing, at least this time. You can get the waxer to shape your eyebrows in a flattering way, and then you can take care of them yourself again.
