Help! My Eyebrows Are Only Half There!!?

Question

I have dark eyebrows and they stop way short of where they should (on the outsides). I think I overplucked as a child, and now they're just not there. One stops at the top, right where they should curve down, and the other is almost as bad. I draw the missing part on with a pencil but it looks terrible with half brow/half pencil. I haven't found an exact color match but very close, hard to tell the color difference. I really don't want to remove the part of the brow that's left, like to have them permanently painted on. Couldn't afford it anyway. Another problem...one of my brows is a bit higher than the other...always has been. I've tried to reshape and it seems better when I look in the mirror, but when I see myself in a photograph, you can REALLY see the difference! Any suggestions? By the way, I HAVE had my brows professionally plucked)several years ago, but it didn' t help at all with the higher/lower problem. They looked just like when I did it myself. Help!

Answer 1

i got it !! i had the same problem 2 but i grew mine back with rogaine! just put a small amount on a q tip and put only on the area's that need filled in! it works i swear!! just be careful don't get it in your eyes!! but get a eyebrow stencil and brow powder for the mean time as they grow! good luck!

Answer 2

Okay, there is help. Try using a powder eye brow product. It really is nicer than a pencil.

For the eye brow that's lower, put a dab of light eye shadow in the center of your lid over the color of shadow you use. That might help even things out. You may have to play with the light shadow but it will make a difference. Also, you may want to try a lighter shadow on that eye lid than you put on the eye lid with the higher brow.

I would suggest you keep whatever brows you have left. It will be easier in the long run to reshape them.

Good luck to you. Also, try a department store that features cosmetic counters and ask one of the salespeople to help you with your problem.

I once waxed off 1/2 of an eyebrow before the trick is to not draw the brow as a solid line, pencil it in using short strokes, like hair growth!! GOOD LUCK

Answer 5

Arbonne (not sure how to spell) makes all natural makeups. I use the brow wax from there for the same reason. It comes with a slanted brush that you apply it with so it doesn't have the drawn on look. You can order online or though an independant consultant. Hope this helps!

Answer 6

hi, theres nothing you can do about one being higher than the other, except maybe trying to arch them alittle more , as far as them stopping short, bennifit has a great eyebrow kit, theres different shades to match up and it's not a pencil it's more of a gel that you put on with a brush, it looks natural and is very easy to use, plus you dont have that " i just penciled on my brows" look. hope this helps!

Answer 7

Try the eyebrow tattos. A nurse at work told me her sister had her eyebrows done. She was in a bad wreck when she was younger and totally lost one eyebrow. Apparently, the tattos turned out so good that you have to get "in her face" to tell that one is not hair.

Answer 8

Try using smashbox's brow tech wax. My friend who has thin brows uses it and adores it. She bought hers off ebay for 15$. They have colors according on you hair color(taupe,brunette,blond,etc)

Answer 9

Wear bangs. They cover up. and if you use a makup pencil, it'll look more natural under your bangs.

Answer 10

I feel sorry for you. You can get them waxed or use a pencil. I wish you best of luck!!!!!!!!! : )
