Hi ladies, so I need some tips.
I was born in the 80's so unfortunately I have the 90's overplucked brows! I had a girl tease me a lot at school about my bushy brows so oneday I went ham on them lol ugh if only I had known.  I'm trying to grow them out a bit, I have never tried before as I hate stray hairs and feel I look unkempt if my brows are not tidy. I have dark hair and pale skin so it is so noticeable!  Any tips please!

I grow mine out before reshaping them. They don’t grow out a lot but I draw them in a way that includes the stray hairs (as long as the hairs would fit into the new bigger brows). Strays in random places that would never make the cut I still pluck.

My beauty therapist is trying to reshape mine. They're quite sparse because of my illness. She waxes the top to keep them straight as I have a square face but I'd like a curve instead of a line if I could. Its been years and they still look the same sadly.

   I find that if you're trying to tidy things as they grow out but don't want to pluck then those little eyebrow razors are great for shaping because the shaved hairs grow back fast but then shaving is fast too.

Growing them in sux lol. I do have some of the wee razors so that is a good idea. I shall try refrain myself from plucking lol. I have had thin eyebrows for so long I can't even imagine them bigger lol but I am determined.

I used to get mine tinted but that will orivs kill me now so I swear by a combo of brow pencil and mascara. 


But try tinting, I used to get mine done in benefit :)

i usually have a creamier one and a fine one in my stash.

I LOVE Benefit's 'Precisely, My Brow' and Billion Dollar Brows Universal pencil, or their Triple Threat.  

For Brow mascara, the Essence 'Make Me Brow' is 10% of the cost of the Benefit one for a very good dupe.

I know a lot of people who swear by the Wet and Wild brow pencils, though I've not tried them.  The Mellow ones are also very good.

Could try librow. I haven’t used mine yet I’m waiting until after I have this baby so can’t personally comment but the reviews on here for it look promising.

Oh yes... I had those thick, dark eye brows back when i was in primary school and did get teased about them. However I’m glad that mum was quite tough and not let me touch my brows back then, as now thick, simple brows are quite popular in the asian community. A good brow pencil would make a difference.

Lol Macs I picked a good time to do it as I'm not working at the moment so can let them look a bit wild, have only touched them a tiny bit and used foundation and powder when I had to go to the store. I actually thought they grew fast but nope......it's a horrible slow process
