Chemo, thinning eyebrows what to do, advice please

I can recommend the BarryM Brow Wand. I've been using one for about a year. Just bought a second wand.
Practice drawing your eyebrows. Make sure the skin is not greasy (from face cream) before you start.
Remember your eyebrows are sisters not twins, so being identical doesn't matter.
I wish you well for the future.

Here's the wand

I buy the BarryM from Superdrug.
You can order online if necessary.

A family member used a pomade (quite an old-fashioned word! ) especially for eyebrows, that "filled in" gaps.

Something like this:

Pomade | Dual-Ended Brow Pomade & Brush | REFY ink{https://share.google/uxXhConYrlbhe58it\share.google/uxXhConYrlbhe58i]]t}

I think she was put in touch with a charity who gave make up advice for cancer patients, is there perhaps something like that you could link up with?

Sorry that link is a dud! Hope this one works:

Gr!

A Google search for "REFY Brow Pomade" should find the site.

Look good, feel better is a charity that gives beauty advice to cancer patients.

They supported my friend when she lost all her body hair and honestly she looked fabulous with a bit of effort with the make up.

The challenge was keeping up the standard when she was better😬

I can 2nd the Charity Look Good Feel Better, if you look online you can hopefully find a workshop local to you and they will help you with lots of tips and also give you a fabulous goody bag of makeup/skincare items. I think they also do an on-line version. All the best with your treatment x

Avon eyebrow filler stick, buy from Amazon.It’s like a propelling pencil and has fibres in it, comes in various colours I use brunette.It’s brilliant, I will lever myself out of this comfy chair now to look at it and tell you the name.
Right, got it, it’s micro fine brow pencil, and cost around £8 to £9 but lasts a good while.I couldn’t be without it.
If you are a blonde or light haired go for the light brown colour.

I huge thank you to all you lovely ladies for all your comments and help.
I have lots to research now before my brows disappear. smile

You could have your brows tattooed. Different inks are used than are used to do ‘real’ tattoos and they are semi permanent.
There are quite a few, well OK lots, of very heavy brows around at the moment but if you choose your practioner and explain what you want they can look very natural.

Oncologists do not recommend either semipermanent or permanent tattoos during treatment...

Benefit does 'The Mighty Fine Brow Pen' in about five colours. I have dark hair and use the 4.5.

It has three rubber 'prongs' that fill with liquid makeup and it draws very fine hair-like lines. Definitely needs a dry area to work on (powder first) or the lines won't dry. Takes a bit of practice but works well. I have gaps in my thinning eye brows and it fills the gaps well.

When you say powder first what powder is this.
I never use makeup and what do I practice on.
