I have naturally very thin and sparse eyebrows. Basically, I only have a few odd hairs from the middle to the outer edges. My brows are dark blonde in colour. This is not the result of overplucking; they’ve always been like this.
The problem is, that I’m terrible at applying eyebrow products. I’ve used all kinds of pencils, gels, markers and pomades, but the result is always unnatural.
My latest purchases were Charlotte Tilbury’s Brow Lift pencil and Legendary Brows gel. Legendary Brows looks OKish on the inner edges, but I don’t have enough hairs on the outer edges for it to work. I’ve tried to ‘extend’ my brows to the outer edges with Brow Lift, but the result is unnatural and looks like a crayon drawing, even when trying to apply the product gently or applying tiny strokes that mimic hairs.
I would love some tips on how to make it better. Or is my only hope getting semi-permanent makeup? I prefer a natural look, and don’t want them too ‘done’. But at the same time, I feel that my brows are too thin in their natural state, and I would benefit from a bit more colour and shape. Thanks!
Just letting you know you’re not alone. We took some pics over Thanksgiving and I was HORRIFIED to see my left eyebrow looked just…terrible in pics. Very 90s crayon and thin from me trying to fill it in. I started applying my Benefit Precisely, My Brow in a different way - really trying to do short, diagonal lines as opposed to the longer, more straight lines that I was doing. I also got ELF Wow Gel in Dark Brown and go over with that. It SEEMS like it looks better than it did but I guess I won’t know until I take some more pictures, lol. It is just so frustrating esp because I have dark brows that just don’t look right, ever.
