Have to draw them on. So tired of doing this. Shaved them off when I was 19 and they've never grown back.

All my body hair fell out at menopause. Luckily I still have some on my head. Microblading is the answer, it needs to be refreshed every 18 months or so.

You gave me a laugh, which I needed today.
Oh I like Freda kahlo, maybe not the mono brow. X

I'm 70 and have been microblading for 5/6 years they looks wonderful and natural. I have them topped up every 6 or seven months. First appointment is expensive as they are mapped out and takes longer but much cheaper for top ups.

Have a look at Bossybrows online. They are temporary tattoos. They are very easy to apply just position then dampen a tissue over the paper and remove paper. They fade after 4 or 5 days or can be removed with make up remover. Very realistic. I think other makes are available.

Bored one afternoon aged 13 , I took my mother's tweezers and attacked my eyebrows .
Not only do they not match they have never grown back properly .
When I was younger they looked OK now they look increasingly funny .
They are light to medium brown with white hairs .
I've tried dyeing them .
I looked like Coco The Clown .
So that was a failure .

In Boots , the girl on the Benefit counter transferred them into attractive eye brows .Not only did I fail to replicate her skill , but I found that the products were expensive and didn't seem to last very long .
At the moment , I'm using Avon eyebrow gel and today some new Avon eyebrow product has arrived .

I'll keep you posted .

I don't understand - how I can paint still life and landscapes , but I can't do my own eyebrows nor paint my nails well .

I agree microblading . Had mine done 5years ago ...they said have them re done after 3 but what with COVID I haven't.

It's six years since I had mine done! They've faded a bit but still look good.
Money well spent for me 🙂

I’m so wrinkly in that area I don’t know where I could have them micro bladed without looking weird.

If you have some eyebrow hair, try men’s moustache and beard tint. It’s cheap, easy to use. Lasts 2/3 weeks.
But micro-blading may be the answer if little hair left. I am tempted…

So far I'm pleased with the new Avon semi permanent eyebrow tint @ £9 .
A tip - go lighter .
