Thanks!

i pluck. i don't let anyone else tough my brows

 

[girl_geek]

I just pluck ... I could probably stand to color them in a little on the outside edges (they're certainly thick enough on the inside though!), but with my pale skin and blonde hair I'm afraid of overdoing it so I don't bother!

Thats exactly how I feel, One little mistake about you could look like a freak for months.

I pluck the stray hairs, my brows have a good natural shape but there are lots of little strays that need to be tamed.

I have a family member that tints her brows.

I cannot pluck or tweeze my eyebrows..even before I was a spaz!

I get them waxed and sometimes tinted as well.

I really want to hear more about this threading, though!

I've heard it rocks (but no specifics) and would like to try it...

I use tweezers + have them waxed.

I forgot to say why I pluck primarily. When I was in the 9th grade my mother waxed off half of my eyebrow and I was traumatized for quite a while! :icon_eek:

I pluck..just seems to work better for me..:icon_smil

i tweeze for maintenance. fill in sparse spots with clear gel then pencil.

I usually pluck mine, but recently I went to Bliss spa and had them waxed, the girl there did a fantastic job! I pluck once every week and only the stray hairs. I use Bare Escentuals Brow Powder and slanted brush in brow color 26170 (you cant tell cause I have no picture, but I am a brunette). I also use brow stencils when my brows get a little on the wild side. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i thread, but i pluck in between. i use wax to keep them in place.

i'm actually gonna move this to the body forum. i think it'll be more appropriate there, if that's okay /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[tickledmepink]

I tweeze them as well.

 

[SkinCareJunky]

I thread. Hurts like hell. Tho, I get the exact shape I want each time..no hassles.

I maintain my own brows by tweezing and filling with powder/pencil. I used to get them waxed but the person always made them too thin. I like a natural look.

ok are you ready for my eyebrow war? lol! I have platinum blonde eyebrows and it's terrible! lol! I have to draw them on and I can never get them right! lol! I tried stencils but no matter how hard I tried it still wasn't how I wanted it. ***I'm so impressed you knew about the stencils btw!*****

I was going to get them tattooed but OUCH! lol! And what if they mess up I mean...that's my face! ...not that I'm vain:whistling: ! lol!

Anyways for trimming I can barely see my hairs and so I can only pluck when I get lucky and can see the hairs! lol! If I'm not plucking I'm using that personal shaver thing. the skinny one that looks like a pen. It's awesome stuff! I have so much fun with it! lol! I go wild!

So I do a lot. I draw them in everyday, pluck, shave and cross my fingers! lol!

I feel like I'm constantly at war with my eyebrow pencil! lol!

One of the reasons I love to wear eye makeup is that it makes my eyebrows less noticeable! lol! I also always compliment people with dark eyebrows! lol! I have a running joke that I want to be Italian so I can have heir eyebrows! And I really mean it! lol!

Yeah I have an issue! lol! Luv AM

i pluck and colour in my brows with brow powder(shiseido)

i have really light brows and look soo washed out when i dun apply colour to them, so i never get out of the house without doing my brows!

But annoyingly, i have my good days when i apply the colours perfectly and my brows look great, and other times i just cant seem to apply the brow powder at the right places making my eyebrow look uneven and thick.

im thinking of getting something more permanent like tatoo or brow tint, but i have yet to find out more info. abt these b4 taking the plunge.

I used to get my eyebrows plucked at the salon....But never it gets in shape that I want....The last time I got a good shape....hence now it is three months I visited a salon to get my eyebrows..I am afraid I will lose the shape again....I use eyebrow pencil to darken cos I have got very scanty eyebrows.....

 

[kaeisme]

This is the main reason I don't thread. I am such a wus when it comes to pain. LOL

I pluck/tweeze. I have been complimented on my eyebrows au naturale many times, but I literally just started plucking last month (grin).....my only problem is that I have small eyes, a bestbud convinced me to pluck because if they were a bit thinner my eyes would stand out more. I used to dislike the idea of messing with my eyebrows at all...I was afraid I'd mess them up. I got a brief tutorial and they do look more defined and "neat" when I pluck them. My gurl plucked my eyebrows for me, I was like, "ow. ow. ow!" hah...but when I do it myself it doesn't hurt because I do them tediously, one hair at a time. She is/was used to it so she can handle more "tweeze"...hah!

They are naturally well-shaped I am told but a bit thick in the middle of the eyebrow...I never liked that much. the middle of my eyebrow actually gets stray hairs that stick up if I rub my eyes..dangit! I am better off to tweeze. : D
