eyebrows

^ Hi, welcome back to WP

I do my own. It's just a case of tidying them up more than anything.

I started getting my eyebrows waxed maybe two years ago, not entirely sure. Anyway, I have gone to three different estheticians, and they use different things, but the pain isn't too bad, sometimes I'm like "OUCH!" and then it's okay, lol. But I am pleased with how they look... I made sure to tell them I want a "natural" look, and "clean things up". It usually lasts about 2 months and then I get them done again.

I made the mistake when I was 10 years old and went on a shaving spree, including my eyebrows, so one of them in my opinion looks fine, and the other one gets a bit wild due to the shaving, lol.

My mother was the one that always plucked and shaped my eyebrows because she thought I would like it more. I actually did. I looked good and felt better about myself because they looked nice. Now I'm not as concerned with them. I have thick eyebrows but I don't pluck them, I simply trim them. Comb them upwards and then cut any hairs that exceed the horizontal. That keeps them looking "managed" at least while still looking natural.

Yay eyebrows.

I learned shaping eyebrows by watching various youtube videos. Mine are not bushy, though. I only need to pluck a few stragglers and trim down the longer pieces. I cut my own hair, too. I don't like strangers touching my head.

What about naturally sparse eyebrows? Once, my mom asked why I over plucked my brows. I told her I never plucked them. I don't know how to apply makeup, and for some reason I can't learn (no matter how many times I try). I certainly can't ask anybody to do for me, I stay home all the time. Definitely not going the tattoo route either, my grandma has it done. Let's just say, it looks like absolute **** to me.

You can fill them in. They have powders and pencils for that. I don't know much more than that since sparse brows have never been my problem. For my own brows, I stick to the Sally Hansen's kit. I take out one of the prewaxed strips, cut it to only take off what I want, warm it by holding it tightly in my hand for a couple seconds, smooth it into place, then pull it off. Getting both brows into shape takes seconds instead of minutes, and there's FAR less pain than when I pluck. There's other brands that work the same way, but that's the one I know I can buy near me. All the ones I've seen come with soothing wipes for after if you need them.

mine were moderately full, I tweezed them for years on my own and then I reached a point as I got older that I got a little hair on my lip and got electrolysis so I decided to have the technician do my brows as well, now I never worry about them

I have never touched my eyebrows, I don't really care to much about how they look people comment on how I should shape them but it seems to much effort, I think maybe once in my life a girl plucked a couple of my eyebrows but that's about it, and I am 26.

Maybe you could just try combing them daily and occasionally trimming them. There are guides on how to properly trim your eyebrow hairs on YouTube.

Thicker eyebrows are definitely on trend at the moment, as long as they are neat and well groomed.
