eyebrows

Never plucked mine as they were always sparse. Now they're almost non existent. Not a fan of drawn on eyebrows so guess it's one of those ageing things I'll have to accept.

Hi not sure about tattooing but a excellent product is wunder brow comes in 4 shades doesn’t rub off easy to apply wouldn’t be without it ..

I had the same problem as you so I had them tattooed 2 years ago and wish I'd done them much earlier. Go for it but make sure that you do go to reputable one. Meanwhile, why not look it up in the Pinterest for articles, shapes, etc?! Best of luck

I had mine first tattooed about 5 years ago. I’ve still got a reasonable amount of eyebrow but not at the “tails”. I’ve never looked back. Had them regularly topped up. Do your research and if you don’t like the outline shape the technician draws say something. It’s your face. I love how I feel a little more defined with no effort now. If I’m doing my face I still go over the tattoo as I had them done to suit mr daytime face (not too dark).

Best thing I have ever done. But be careful who you use, I read every review going, and some use fake pictures stolen from other websites. I love my eyebrows

For those asking what it is

Following with interest...
And just off to google “Microwaved eyebrows” ?

Been taking biotin supplement for 6 weeks (H&B) on suggestion from a friend, to improve my hair thickness - and have noticed an improvement in my eyebrow growth

Did ask having my eyebrows tattooed but was told by someone in the know that she had hers done and it hurt like hell. Hence I have my sparse eyebrows dyed every 6 to 8 weeks and they look a lot thicker. Cheap and pain free

I'm reading this wishing we could move hair around as there is always more than you want in one place and nothing in another!

I had my brows microbladed 2 years ago as like many on here, I overplucked in the 70’s and being a natural redhead my brows were very fair and not noticeable unless I pencilled them in. My daughter’s friend ( a trained beautician) did a course on semi permanent make up, and now specialises in treating cancer patients who have lost their hair. She is very talented, and the results are very natural looking. I have eyebrows now for the first time in my life and it has really made a huge positive change for me. However I must stress, it’s really important to go to someone who is properly trained and whose previous clients results can be see in her portfolio. Make no mistake... it hurts to have it done. Make sure you have a topical anaesthetic first! And lastly, the pigments used contain iron oxide, which can cause severe burns if you need to have an MRI scan. I’ll let you know how that works out first hand as i’m about to have one later this afternoon...

A beautician whom I used to go to about 10 years ago to get my eyebrows tinted opened the front door(she worked from home) and I thought she looked a bit unusual. She was beaming and asking what I thought. She had her eyebrows tattooed and looked like something from 'Star-Treck' I think I replied " Quite different", but I knew no-one was ever going to do that to me.

Ooo no to much of a coward for tattoos anywhere.
I just have my eyebrows waxed that does me.

I lost mine through a rare form if alopecia that wasn't diagnosed until 3 years ago. I had just thought eyebrow loss was hormonal and had tattoos. Loved them, gave my eyes a frame even though I wear glasses. And I still had eyebrows in the rain and swimming. They faded eventually but by then diagnosis made and I was entitled to gave them done on NHS so I did again two years ago. Wouldn't be without tattoo eyebrows.

Invest in a tube of Rapidbrow. I got mine on ebay. It takes about 6 weeks but really works. Just stroke it on am and pm. Heaven knows how it works but it does!

I had mine micro bladed 7 years ago and then 3 years ago again. Just about to have them re-done! Brilliant they look very natural. Now they have faded I am fed up having to do them every day? Make sure you get a recommendation as some better than others. Deco recommend it.

Defo not deco!

I don't like tattoo's, they fade to a horrible blue colour and for eyebrows I think they look really unnatural and no going back if you don't like the result!
Microblading looks lovely but i'm too much of a coward to try it.
I just pencil mine in - primark do a lovely fine pencil for £2 - then I 'set' with translucent powder. It looks really natural, I've had many complimentary comments!

I had my eyebrows microbladed 4 years ago and was really really pleased with the result. My eyebrows were very 'sparse', but the microblading is more subtle than a tattoo and you would never know they weren't real as I chose a colour close to my natural colour. I had it 'topped up' 2 years ago as, unlike tattooing, it doesn't last for ever. I would definitely recommend it, but it has to be done by someone who is properly trained. There was only one person at the spa where I went who was trained to do it. They put some anaesthetic cream on it beforehand and when they did it, it just felt like light 'scratching'. Hope this is helpful anyway.

GracesGranMK3 Thanks. I had my thyroid checked earlier in the year, so I know it's Ok.

I quite like my eyebrows - it's the rest of me that needs help!

My tattooed eyebrows. I love them!!!

Yes I had mine done last year with a top up earlier this year, it has given me more confidence, I feel made up without make up on especially when I have had my eyelashes dyed too. I too over plucked in the 70's and am Hypothyroid, so was on a loser to grow them back. Make sure you see photos of their work before you commit and expect to pay in the region of £300, but Oh Yes, it is worth it.

Thanks for all your replies. I'm going to call in to a few places local to me and ask to see "before and after" photos.

Chrishappy Your eyebrows look really good.

Tatooing is with a needle, microblading is with a small blade which can look like a hair. The colour usually needs topping up and a good therapist should follow your natural brow as that is what suits your face x

Best thing I ever did was to get my eyebrows micro bladed, they do need done ever year as they wear off. Just make sure you go to someone good .
