Eyebrows!

‘We’ all plucked our eyebrows with a vengeance in the 60/70’s and for some (me) they never really re-grew! Then in later years, mine turned grey and even sparser. I’m using specific products to help my brows and lashes - the latter works, but nothing on the brows, as yet. I have no ‘tails’ on mine, but using coloured pencils or whatever there just looks odd, but I don’t want to embark on anything more drastic.

What are eyebrows please?

I've got one........and a long fringe to disguise the fact

I wish I had better eyebrows. I also over-plucked them years ago as it was the fashion, wasn't it? They didn't really recover and after chemotherapy they're even worse.

I use a product by Maybelline called Tattoo Brow which stains them - my next trick will be to paint a perfect matching pair which is trickier than it looks.

Georgesgran me too.
I use UKLash and UKBrow
My eyebrows did grow tails but as soon as I stopped, the tails disappeared again.
I’m having another go with them now 🙄 (image shows me contemplating my eyebrows)

And today’s fashion for the young ‘uns is a thick black ‘Nike’ tick.
😁

Threading is better than plucking. They can also dye your eyebrows.

My DDs have always laughed at my eyebrows, they are there but have always been fair and fluffy. I did try dying them with a tattoo brow but it sets like plastic and you are meant to peel it off, I forgot to peel them and went out with two brown slugs. I think I am going to try some of the products mentioned. At the moment I use Benefit Give me brow which is a fluffy colour but is not permanent and only covers the hair you already have.

bevisp1 I think most salons wax, thread or sometimes sugar eyebrows now.

I never ever have plucked my eyebrows, probably because I am so shortsighted I would never have been able to manage it properly!!I have had my eyebrows micro bladed twice and I also go every four weeks to have them waxed and dyed…

I obviously have my fathers gene and my eyebrows continue to grow long and bushy. Until my 50s my eyebrows looked good and were a nice shape. After my hysterectomy induced menopause things changed! I should really go every 6 weeks for an eyebrow wax, shape and length trim which costs £9. Must make the effort again. They could also do with being tinted.

I have invigilated several exams during the teenage passion for eyebrows which looked like they were rubber stamped on to faces. Theres nothing more scary on a monday morning than standing in front of 100 pairs of eyebrows all staring at you!

I`m another who`s never plucked her eyebrows, I`ve never dared!

I’ve never plucked or done anything to my eyebrows they are fine as they are so I m told

Mine are still brown but sparse and no tail any more. I use a brown eyeshadow and a very small, thin brush to fill the holes and slightly extend them and some sort of eyebrow mascara which has filaments in to brush the actual eyebrow into shape. The filaments make each hair a little bit thicker. There are loads of shades too.

I did pluck mine in the 70’s but luckily they did grow back. I went through a phase of having them waxed. Now grey, I leave well alone but use an eyebrow powder from Avon to give them a bit of colour and shape. Good enough for my needs.

That made me laugh Mikkima! 🤣

My mum was the first one to pluck my eyebrows.
God it hurt. But I persevered 😄

I get mine threaded around every 2 months ...much better than waxing

What is an eyebrow 'tail' I've never heard of it!

Mine were really bushy and since the age of 13 I plucked them into a really thin line. At the age of 70 I got fed up with doing it and also couldn't really see them well enough, but they won't grow, or if they do, its just random ones that stick out all over the place! I just pluck out the biggest and most random ones now, I do have a fringe.

I had microblading, it was 2 years ago and still looks good. I used to spend ages trying to draw them on, the colour was never quite right and they rarely looked the same.

I have mine waxed and at 75 still have busy eyebrows

I have the 80s skinny brows, that have never thickened since then. I get them waxed every so often to catch the randoms and then fill them in with a pencil/crayon by ELF, it's retractable and has a brush at the other end to blend. I use the taupe colour as it's not as severe as some other colours.

Overplucked and never grown back -mine are awful now they have patches of white .
I look like a Scottie dog .
I'll try the Maybelline Tattoo brow as used by ilovebeigecardigans and the ELF pencil recommended by Aioop !

The best products I've tried are made by Benefit .
They don't last long and work out to be really costly.

I use Avon gel brows which is okay and lasts a long time , but isn't a patch on Benefit .

It's important to go lighter or risk the Coco The Clown look or in my case Coco The Clown meets Scottie dog .
