How do you fix messed up eyebrows? Do you use an eyebrow pencil? Has anybody ever done eyebrow tattoo? Does the eyebrow tattoo work if done correctly?
I am not thinking of eyebrow tattoo, but I noticed that some women pencil their eyebrows and it does not look too bad, but if I try it then my eyebrows look too thick or too weird. Help?

duct tape works

let them grow back in fully then go to a pro and have them teach you how to do them yourself

I pencil my eyebrows in because my hair is very light in color and I look like I have none without makeup.

First have them shaped by a pro and then use either a soft pencil or a powder to fill them in.

Or if you can pull it off... shave them off and draw them in real thin like Pamala Anderson. I always like how that looks.

If you use a pencil;instead of drawing a heavy line use light strokes-feather the pencil.
I've been neglecting my eyebrows. I did them today and I look so much better.
What a difference nice eyebrows make.

whatever you do, don't do eyebrows tattoos!!!


what is it you want to fix? do you want to thin them out, arch them what exactly?

If you want them to look natural that's the best way.

The last time I got my eyebrows done they were done in a nice round shape, but now I want to arch them. I don't have much natural arch in my eyebrow.

go to a salon and have them professionally done

Definitely go to someone professional, you should try the threading I mentioned before

even them out so at least they both look the same, then let them grow and get them shaped professionally. Unfortunately for me, I have dark hair that grows fast and I'm fair skinned so I have to get mine done professionally every 5 to 7 days or else it looks bad

we need pictures in order to find the right solution. post a picture of your messed up eye brow

Sephora has a great eyebrow kit with stencils, tweezers and a shadow wax to fill them in. I have two friends who do the cosmetic tattooing. One of them uses brush strokes to make them look natural, the other is more toward the penciled in 'fake' looking brows. It works nicely but you may have to get touched up and it's expensive...although it does last forever.

but if you let them grow in too much, you end up looking like you have two on your face.....

If you don't know what you're doing pencil can be really harsh - some people just can't accomplish feather light strokes I find a brush & powder to be optimal, but I really only use it if I happen to over-pluck or if I'm going out & just want them a bit darker than night...

The brush is super thin & angled btw, & you still use feathery strokes & dip into the powder lightly until you get the hang of it:

I am definately not going to tattoo in my eyebrows because I am scared it will hurt or I will change my mind later on, but thanks for all of the eyebrow advice from all of the org beauty experts!

No, do not do the tattoo, I think they look pretty bad when done that way, my mom had eyeliner done, OUCH and it did not look good it ends up looking greenish

I am too scared to tattoo anything on me!

Do you thread your eyebrows Veronikka?

Paradisekiss03 said:

yes I do, so painful but they shape them so well

Thanks!

If you wanna pencil them in, just make sure that you soften the shape with some pressed powder over your brows once you're done. Harsh, dark eyebrows are awful.

And always use a pencil that is lighter than your brow colour. Even the "blonde" pencil works well for brunettes.

So if I have black eyebrows then I should use a brown for my eyebrows?

Paradisekiss03 said:

Yes, a soft brown even.

Get a wig with a long fringe.

i saw at my local mall a woman doing another woman's eyebrows by using a thin piece of string. I don't understand how that/why that works
