Eyebrows

My eyebrows are disappearing fast but not in a nice arched shape 9stick got sticky out ones and a bare patch on the left hand side). I have had them waxed and plucked for years in search of the perfect arch and to rid myself of the monobrow I grew in my teens.
has anyone found a lovely solution to this. I have purchased several different brow kits from Benefit and Clarins and always go to a salon (never pluck them myself) but still not happy with the look I achieve. I was wondering if anyone had ha permanent solution i.e. tattoo. On the John Lewis website is an eyebrow tutorial were they seem to use 6 different products/implements - anyone doing this?

glamma kind thought but 2 hours in Debenhams makeup dept does not sound like my cup of tea smile And it would be a challenge as it is a pretty small branch. We may be a city (Bangor) but a sadder little city centre may not exist anywhere else in the UK. sad
But I will remember to re-dye my brows next week to cover up the white hairs ! smile

You're lucky to have enough eyebrow hairs to dye, Jess! grin

Resurrecting this thread. I bought the Benefit brow gel today, much better than the Maybeline brow mascara I previously mentioned. In case there's anyone else out there not happy with their eyebrows!

I still prefer MAC, but the Benefit one is certainly better than the Maybeline product, which as you say is a brow mascara rather than a gel.

I just buy clear mascara (£1.99), brush the brows and apply. They stay in place quite well.
I do have them threaded first!

I use a dab of my hair gel and a tiny eyebrow brush. For colour I use Avon Eye Brow Glimmerstick in colour blonde, it's a great colour for -white eyebrows- fair haired ladies. It's normally £6 but there are always offers and I use their Glimmerstick eyeliner also.

For holiday times I usually have them dyed. Took a long time to find a beautician who could do them to look natural and not look as if I had two granny-mushes creeping across my forehead.

hmmm... 'white eyebrows' was meant to have a strike through. I'll get it right next time, maybe.
