Eyebrows...?

Question

I was just wondering for all the girls out there that know how to draw their eyebrows on... What is the best way to make them look more natural... do you just use a pencil or eyeshadow... and how do you shape yours (with stencil or free hand?)
I have to draw mine on because they are so light... and need ways to make them look less penciled and more natural...
or do you die them, what product and where would I purchase that from?
thank you for your time...

i have eyebrows, they are just really blonde and not that noticable unless you are really close up...

i was blonde as a child as well... why is it your eyebrows don't darken along with the rest?

Answer 1

I have a similar problem. When I was little, my hair was a light, light blond. As I got older, my hair started to get darker, and now it's a dark blond... but somehow, my eyebrows stayed light blond. I use an eyebrow pencil to make them the same color as my hair. If you're just starting out coloring your eyebrows, I would recommend a brush on color, since the pencils can be quite difficult (and if you don't know what you're doing, it will look very fake). Don't use regular eyeshadow... there are products you can buy just for eyebrows. Also, don't try to dye them by yourself... if you accidentally get the product in your eyes, you could lose your eyesight. Go to a hair coloring place to get it done, if you choose to dye!

Answer 2

Use eyebrow POWDER instead of a pencil for a more natural look. You may can find one at a drugstore, but definitely the make up counter specialist in a department store can help you find something suitable for your hair and face.

Answer 3

Do not draw or fill then in! For a natural look go to http://www.cosmeticscop.com/ and look in the makeup area for an eyebrow color that comes in a tube just like mascara. They have an awesome color for blondes that is enough color to give you definition but not so dark you end up like Groucho Marx!
Bobbi Brown also has a similar product but it costs more.

Hi, instead of continually drawing them on because your eyebrows are light, why don't you get them tinted. They will look great and you only have to get them done about every 4-6 weeks. I'm training to be a beauty therapist and tint my own eyebrows it looks great defines your brows and you don't have to keep pencilling them on, what a pain. Hope I helped. Marita

Answer 5

Don't use a pencil, they appear fake. Use eyebrow powder and brush to blend into your natural eyebrows. So you keep the natural look, but they stand out more.

Answer 6

Best thing is a powder eyebrow. Dont put it on too heavy and then brush your eyebrows up to give them some fullness. If you can get them the way you like them, then you can put some clear mascara on them to keep them in place.

Answer 7

I use Maybelline Eyebrow Pencil and I do it freehand. If you have eyebrows and just want to make them show up more, try using the brow powder. You can find these things at your local drug store.

Answer 8

darken your eyebrows with a eyeliner pencil and THEN TAKE A EYEBROW BRUSH AND SMOOTH out the lines for a more natural look i do it every day

Answer 9

I use a BROWN (NOT BLACK!) eyeliner pencil and try to focus mostly on creating a slight arch in the brow, then SMUDGE with a tiny smudge sponge. I think Maybelline sells eyeliner pencils with a smudge sponge attached on the other end.

Answer 10

i have the same problem...i used to be blond then my hair turned brown but my eyebrows didn't....i use an eyeliner pencil, black, and just run the side of it over my eyebrows to shade it...i try to never actually get the eyeliner directly on my skin although you cant always avoid it but i mostly just try to color the hairs themselves....i haven't tried to dye mine because my hair is resistant to dye and i dont wanna have to keep doing it....good luck! i feel your pain :)
