I'm listening too. I have very light eyebrows compared to the rest of my hair and even when I fill them in with powder I feel like they still disappear.
Fill those puppies in! Go to a makeup counter (Sephora, MAC, sometimes Ulta) and ask for help. If you have no defined shape there are stencil kits that can help. I'll be back with links unless someone beats me to it.
I have dark eyebrows that are a decent size, but I have a scar in one from cracking my head open so I like to just fill them in with a brush and some brown powder.
Get a felt tip eyebrow pen! Seriously, they're magical. I should do a before and after with mine. You can draw on the hairs individually if you want, and you can still brush it out to soften it. I use the milani one.
Blondes should choose a color a few shades darker than their eyebrow, everyone else should choose a color a few shades lighter. There are lots of good brow products - I prefer using a mac eyeshadow with a tiny brush, but that's me. The trick I think is tiny, short strokes to mimic hairs not just drawing on a thick line. And blending with a clean spoolie (mascara brush) or topping with a clear brow gel.

I fill mine in with powder. Not special brow powder just some eyeshadow from CVS. I just tried to find a shade similar to my hair color with no sparkle in it. I think it makes a world of difference. I feel naked without my brows filled in.

Peach speaks the truth. Blending makes a huge difference in it looking natural IME.
Drug store, department store, Sephora. You can spend a lot or a little. I use the Milani, and I get it at CVS for, like, $4. You can splurge and get the one by Benefit, which is also good. (But I can't justify the price.)
I have mine lightly tattooed and fill it in with anastashia brow powder. If you've never heard of it, it does sound funky ,but I love mine tattooing brows is pretty common practice in my area of CA you can even get hairs drawn in
