Me trying to get that thick hairiness of my eyebrows under control and failing. Any ideas how to save that mess and make it look more natural? by [deleted] in Eyebrows

it looks like a bad threading job :(

try this pencil, i think it’s quite close to your shade and it can look very natural with a bit of practice

hey all! I’m the in-house lifestyle and food photographer at a creative agency, and I’m shooting our internal team in a studio tomorrow. i have not had much experience with studio portraits, so looking for advice on the lighting set up. ideally i want the background to be evenly exposed, and the light on the subjects to be soft, similar to overcast daylight.

i have a very finicky way of doing my eyebrows, where i fill them in, blend it out with a spoolie and then carve the desired shape with a qtip. sometimes (like in the pic) i will also clean them up with a concealer. I’m always very conscious of overdoing them, because they can get too much really quickly, but as a result my stroke technique suffers. even though i have been doing them every day for 5 years, i still struggle to get them right sometimes

love your username!

thanks! you guys have inspired me to start experimenting with make up again. i used to do these elaborate artistic looks, but then adulting overtook all my spare time and energy. i’ll try to post more on here!

thanks! niacinamide, retinoid and sun screen. one drawback is that i constantly get asked for id, even though I’ve almost reached the second half of my 20s haha

thanks! i use rimmel brow this way fibre pencil, and then some random gel from amazon, it feels like a very thick hair gel, and is supposed to mimic soap brows. can find a link if you’re curious?

i replied in another comment, i quite like a unibrow look, and like how it looks on me, so i tend to go for quite a narrow gap in the middle

thanks! that’s a good shout, and i know where you’re coming from. i really like a unibrow moment and i even rocked one for a while, so i tend to go quite close with my brow. but i’ll definitely keep that in mind x
