I've used MAC for a long while, then switched to Smashbox, Bobbi Brown, Urban Decay and not been too happy with any of their brow kits. I think dying them is the best solution but, if you wash your hair as much as i do, they end up fading fairly quick..not sure there is a product line out there that has the answer for me altho I enjoy trying new things out..so it's all good:hk13:

I use eyebrow pencils and have tried many, believe me. I don't get my brows waxed completely sinceI love the look of thick, dark brows and mine are not naturally that dark. I love them when they're arched.

I'm currently using Brow Wiz by Anastasia. I'd never heard of it until I walked into an Ulta a few weeks back not finding what I was looking for. This stuff is amazing! Perfect color (not too dark, not too light), glides on smoothly, but doesn't smudge easily.

What eyebrow product(s) do you use?? I'm open for any recommendations. I highly appreciate the time and effort many women (and men) invest onto their brows. If you're bored, please feel free to share pics of yours. I will.

(Really, I have a life--I'm just not working until Monday, lol)

That sounds nice. I might have to try that.

I usually use inexpensive pencils, like NYC brand or CoverGirl, but they do smudge especially in the heat and this summer is sure to be extra sweltering.

My brows are very sparse. They used to be thick caterpillers, but I had a reaction to the waxing the very first time I had them waxed and almost all of my eyebrow hair fell out. Very little has come back so I use pencils to fill in what I have left.

The one I use has a heavy Indian/Middle Eastern based clientele.
She is fast and it's painless.

I'll have to get their info from you the next time I see you. Awesome!

Needless to say, I now try to stay away from people selling pretty, shiney stuff. ;) oh, and I returned everything the next day!


I had to smile when I read this about buying $400.00 worth of skin care and makeup products. I know for years I would feel SO overwhelmed when I would attempt to buy makeup and such. The choices, prices, promises, and sales ladies all wanted to convince me their product was the best. I either came out of the dept. store with a bunch of over priced stuff I did not need or simply left empty handed and frustrated.

I eventually came across a book by Paula Begoun, "Don't Go To the Cosmetics Counter Without Me." Paula is a skin specialist with several impressive credentials. She looks at all the major skin care and makeup companies and reviews each of their products one by one. It is a reference book. It is easy to look up just about any product that is for sale in the USA. My experience came about when I had bought some redness reducer from Chanel. $65.00 for a small tube of what promised to be my 'be all - end all' for facial redness. When I read Paula's review the primary ingredient was hydrocortisone. I just paid $65.00 for hydrocortisone. I returned it and educated the ever so chic sales lady as to the primary ingredient. She appeared clueless.

It might be worth a look at this book for anyone who is trying to find the best product for the best price. It reduced my frustration exponentially.

I tweezed my eyebrows for years, since I was about 12 years old. I haven't had to tweeze them for about the past ten years, but I use a trio of eye brow eye liner pencils made by Physician's Formula, in the Nude Eye Series. I use all three: the lightest colored pencil I use to highlight under the brow. I use the taupe colored pencil for my eyebrows, and I use the black pencil for my eyeliner. They're easy to use, and they're waterproof.

Hey ladies! I know this thread is about eyebrows (God knows I need to get mine waxed! lol) But I haven't made my 30 posts yet so I can't start a thread.

Though I was wondering if any of you have any tips for growing hair out? My hair has been long for years and I cut it due to a rough patch with SLE. And I really miss my long hair...that and I can't decide if the butch I've been flirting with for a bit likes it or not...all I know is even though the guy at the salon did a great job and what I asked but I can't stand it...I mean it looks good I just can't stand it. So any hair growing tips would be great...I am taking hair skin and nail vitamins. :) Have an awesome day!

pps. sorry for barging in on an eyebrow forum!

There are a lot of things being pimped out there but nothing that I can think of that actually works except gelatin. It is typically used to strengthen and grow fingernails but I've heard good things about it for hair growth as well. Do some research to see the best way to take it and in what amounts and you should be shaggy in no time!

Thank you so much Gemme!! I will try it! Do you know of a brand? But I will look into it! I am taking hair skin and nail vitamins and just recently bought Mane and Tail (I know a lot of equestrians who use it and have great results too.)

Knox and Great Value come to mind but I think any grocery store will have some.
