But before you look at microblading ... have you tried dyeing what you have? There may be more than you think. Mine have faded so they look non- existent but I bought Eyelure dye & that has done enough for me. Still plenty there now they have some colour & dead cheap. It's worth a go before you try anything more permanent or expensive.

A friend had her eyebrows microbladed and they look fabulous, they look really natural , go for it.

Eyebrows not too bad, but my hair is thinning fast😫

Make sure you see examples of the therapists work. My friend spent nearly £250 and ended up with microbladed eyebrows like a clown. The arch was dreadful. Nothing you can do once it’s done. Luckily for her it was summer so she wore dark glasses all summer. It is now two years and they are just visible to her but I can’t see them.

I’m assuming by your username that you are a redhead?
Microblading can be done in all shades.

I've never had much in the way of eyebrows and now there are a few hairs but only visible very close up. If I'm going out I use light grey eyeshadow and a slanted brush to colour them in.

I didn’t have thick eyebrows but plucked then thin in the 70s as it was the trend. When my dd went to uni I lost them because of stress they never grew back so I too have to pencil them in. My friends have them tattooed but it’s unnatural for my colouring so I don’t see an alternative to pencilling them in.

Microblading is the answer. I lost mine because of an autoimmune disease and got fed up painting them on. I got them microbladed

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