my eyebrows are something i've always struggled with. as a small child, i had quite thick eyebrows which had a tendency to join in the middle, which was unfortunate until my godmum took me to get my eyebrows waxed! the lady who did it was lovely and recognised my young age, and so would just tidy them up a little but to be honest, i was never satisfied and wanted thin perfect brows. i then discovered a tweezer... and gave myself a super defining brow which was about one hair thick. i'm sure you know what is coming... yes they never really grow back properly now. they grow at odd angles and patchy, and i was always stuck in a rut with them as i hated letting them grow out. taken from my 'how to make it look like you have eyebrows' tutorial, the following photo;
the right side is what i had pretty much all the time. i resorted to drawing them in constantly, with various pencils and powders however it is irritating if you just want to pop down the shop but i constantly felt embarrassed by my lack of eyebrow!
during recent seasons, thicker eyebrows have come much more into 'fashion' and people started getting their eyebrows threaded into that perfect shape i always wanted. super clean, crisp and arched. after recently getting my fringe cut in, i decided it was time to try again with the eyebrow growth. i left them for 6 to 8 weeks.. hence my lack of looks as eyeshadow looked appalling on forest brows! being able to hide them under my fringe was a godsend. today i went to get them shaped, she first waxed some of the bad strays then threaded and trimmed them into shape.
i'm so pleased with how they turned out. i know to many people, they are still thin eyebrows but it's such an improvement on what i had before and i don't even have to fill them in to avoid scaring small children now. today all i did was brush them and run a tiny bit of laura mercier brow definer in fair through them to give them some definition.
i am so glad that i persevered with them. the over plucking means that they will never be the perfect, full thick brow that i see everywhere recently however i am moving in the right direction. i am actually so chuffed about it, and the difference it makes to my face is unreal.
Everyone seems to go through that stage of plucking, I was exactly the same! I'm also in the process of letting mine grow but don't really have the guts to let it go stray for 6 weeks! Well done, I think your brows look absolutely gorgeous :)
ReplyDeletei think they look great :)
ReplyDeleteYour eyebrows look lovely! Mine are in dire need of threading starting to resemble charlie from busted! Ha, when I was younger my Mum would never let me pluck my own brows as she was a beauty therapist and as always she was right as I'd of probably plucked them away as when we were younger that was the thing to do! x
ReplyDeletei think your new eyebrows look lovely and suit you so well!! btw did you see the swatches of the naked 2 palette floating around?! i am in love!!!!

ReplyDeleteYour brows are such a lovely shape and suit you perfectly! I've become obsessed with eyebrows in the last six months - though my bf tells me he wishes mine were a little thinner ha! x
ReplyDeleteThey look fantastic now!! Congratulations on the willpower - been through that phase myself and it is NOT fun!!

You should try latisse on your brows instead of lashes.There must be some alternatives that aren't so expensive if that's an issue also.I actually like your brows but I know how obsessing it is when we don't like something on ourselves.

amaaaazing, cannot believe how much you've managed to grow yours in! I suffer from the same patchy sparse brow due to over plucking as a young girl - but never thought they might grow back like yours have... guess I need to cut me a fringe!! ;)
