Eye brow puzzle

Going from Eyebrows to "Eyelashes" Ive only recently started using a bit and I mean a bit of make up (age63)

Bought a new wax type crayon eyeliner and struggled all morning with one eyelid...(look like ive done 10 rounds in boxing ring now ive wiped it off so many times)

Just had a good look in magnified mirror and I think my eyelashes had gone/dissapeared !! ive never had lush eyebrows or eyelashes and im very fair skinned /hair etc never been a hairy person.

I know hair dissapears on our bodies as we age but I cant see any eye lash at all on one eye there's a few on the other ! any ideas ?

Off out now will check back later. to all you wise Gnetters
Im sure its been discussed before but cant find the thread.

Menopause did mine. Thinner head hair, arm and leg hair. I haven't lost much eyebrow, but mine are getting more white with my dark brown. I use only eye shadow, lipstick and mascara. After I enhance my lashes I use a light swipe of mascara on the whites. That takes years off my looks. I do still have to pluck a few strays both brown and white.

I never plucked but had sparse eyebrows. Got fed up with looking permanently surprised or having to draw them in. Fine until you get hot or wet & useless on beach do I had them microbladed this year. A bit like tattooing but with a tiny knife that injects colour
as it goes in. Not painful.
Absolutely delighted with result. They look fantastic & I don't need to do anything to them. Should last 3-4 years.

Ah thanks sue ?

He's a Glaswegian comedian, Garry Meikle. I hadn't heard of him before but apparently he's well-kent in the Glasgow area.

Do you know who the Dad is sue?

It's fab, isn't it, Janeainsworth? I've watched it numerous times, it's so funny!

The Avon shimmer stick ? sounds the one for me. I don't want to end up looking like George Roby.

Bridgeit Are you referring to 'slugs 'which seem to be popular these days. I liken my sparse to the point of /non existent brows to the aggressive plucking they received in my younger! days, when 'slugs' were yet to appear, and my attempt to look, (no chance), like the models in fashion magazines.

PECS - interesting point re the steroid inhalers, have noticed my eyebrows disappearing over the last months and realise now this ties in with steroid inhaler use. May be something I don't just have to put down to 'maturing".

The Dad’s rant about eyebrows on Youtube is SO funny!

Thanks for that suedonim

The ones I suggested have a brow powder rather than a pencil so a much softer look. You could get the lady on the make up counter to do one for you as a try out.

I hardly have any eyebrows left at all.
Not even enough to pencil in, sadly.

I have tried various pencils, powders etc, but it just doesn’t look right.

Thank you Teetiome and janea. I will peruse the makeup bars when I am out and about again.

I use a dye as my eyebrows are very thin and now almost invisible. Then fill in with a pencil where there isn't any hair. DD tells me to go and have a permanent dye and fill in on my eyebrows but I'm frightened of it looking too OTT. My hairdresser tells me thinning brows are the result of plucking but I haven't done that for over 20 years. All down to age sadly.

Boots Seventeen .... Brows that !

Izabella Clarins have an eybrow kit which includes wax and you draw your brush across the wax and the colour so you apply them together. Benefit have a similar one.

Just a fashion, a bit like the little black patches men and women stuck on their faces in the 18th century. What possessed people then to think the acne look was a good look?

What is it with the very thick , black brows girls are wearing now,
The Scouse Brow is not a good look on anyone,
I use NYX brunette pencil, it comes with a brush at one end and a propelling pencil the other , it looks very natural and it's less than £4

Mine are brown and white mixed, and a bit straggly. I colour them by using a mens beard colour!! I hardly need any, it only takes 2 minutes, and they are all brown again.

I don't think mine are thinning but some of the hairs now get very loooooooong indeed. I have them shaped by waxing now and then and yank out the ones I spot that have forgotten to fall out in a timely manner.

Have you all seen the eyebrow rant man? It's very funny!

izabella I got one of these from Charlotte Tilbury
It seemed to work well but didn’t last long.
The magic ingredient is castor oil so I got a big bottle of that from Holland & Barrett & dip the little brush in that instead, together with a little pot of eyebrow colour from Laura Mercier.
My eyebrows do seem thicker as a result. I have underactive thyroid too & I think My eyebrows got thinner before it was diagnosed & treated.

It’s really good, and I tried all sorts before discovering the Avon one.
The light brown is that colour if put on ( in small strokes) and done lightly, but becomes slightly darker the firmer you apply and how much you apply, but is very easy to do.
As I am blonde, it suits me.
It’s not all bad, losing your brows, as they can never go grey and need tinting! or need shaping and plucking.

Avon. Thanks for the tip
