Also, I would consider using this powder in Mid-tone Brown. That's about what your eyebrow color would be if you hair was naturally that color.



You can get it here for $16. reddeliciouscosmetics.com/product_info.php?products_id=309

Mid-tone brown is not the color I would've picked out of those options.

I'm really jealous of people with eyebrows that match their hair.

I like make up under the eyes. It looks pretty on you.

I dye my hair red (blonde red). I use MAC's eyebrow pencil in Strut (which is brownish-red) and then I set it with MAC Browset in Girl Boy, which is a golden color. It tones down the red to match the blonde-red tone of the hair without being too light. The MAC girl showed me the combo and it works very well.

It's the way you shape your brow that's not doing you any favors.

You're incredibly pretty, seriously I really like yo'face. The thickness of the brow is distracting from the rest of you.

I used to have thinner eyebrows. It was not a good look, I promise.

[toepick]

I have golden blond hair naturally and my eyebrows are at least 2 or 3 shades darker.

I have dirty blonde hair and use a light brown pencil on my brows. If I dyed my hair red, I would use the same pencil.

there is definitely some middle ground, here. and I love thicker brows, but they need to be a good shape to work.

I know you probably feel picked on and like people are dogpiling you. We just want to help!

1.) You are beautiful and with or without bottom liner/mascara, you look great.
2.)Try the powder LGW posted in the auburn shade. Seriously, most peoples' eyebrows are darker than their hair color.
3.) From the pics you posted, it looks like you're not just filling in your brows but adding to the natural shape. Try just shading in the area where you already have eyebrows first. Step back and really look at them, then if you decide they're still too thin use a light hand to add just a little more.

fuckstick I do add to the shape, but just a tiny bit because my eyebrows aren't symmetrical. One of them has like chunks near the top where hair just doesn't grow.

Ill look into a brown/auburn powder. I'm just skeptical about the staying power!

I've never even heard of this brand but for $6 I'm willing to try lol

I think it's a good brand for the price. I've only used one of their eyeshadow palettes but I really liked it.

Some Targets are now selling NYX in the store. Also I believe they're cruelty free.

Just wanted to second this recommendation.  My hair is naturally red/auburn but I actually use the NYX Brunette option and it looks pretty natural.  The Auburn/Red option would be too bright for me.  I'll try to post a pic later of my hair/eyebrows together if I remember.

 I understand. I have a scar in my right eyebrow from when my brother busted my head open and I had to get stitches so there's like this jagged chunk missing. Thats fun to try and fill in without it looking weird.

From the first picture in the OP, the part of your eyebrows closest to your nose... those look kind of squared at the bottom which I think is what a lot of people are talking about. Maybe try rounding that a little more if you can and making them slightly smaller?

[bania]

You are so gorgeous! I die for your lips!

Maybe have someone from MAC/Sephora do them for you and show you (if you like what they've done)? Sometimes it's hard to break habits and feel comfortable trying something new.

Having said that, I always usually how my makeup looks after having it done professionally.

I am a natural red head too. After MUCH ML harrasement about my eye-brows (as I penciled and not powdered) I was able to find a powder that works heavenly. It's Maybeline eyebrow powder.

They have 2 shades, light brown and a darker brown. The darker brown is very dark and much more bold looking.

This is sold in any drug store, walmart, target etc......

I also would suggest going to a local salon. If you are short on cash go to a Hair Cuttery or Great Clips and they can shape your eyebrows for you (for 7 dollars) They will wax your eyebrows and show you what shape is best for your eyesbrows.

Anastasia of Beverly Hills have an amazing eyebrow powder. I think either the auburn or caramel will work great for you.

I've actually looked at this one online before but my local store doesn't carry it and I'm too nervous to drop $20 on makeup I can't try first.

This is also exactly what I use.  And it stays really, really well.

I agree. Some nights I'm so tired I end up sleeping in my make up. When I wake up, my brows are still 50% there.

[flufferkitty]

I have red hair and I second the Anastasia duo that dot posted. It is awesome. I think I use the Auburn.

I love your makeup. I think the lower makeup for evening and without for daytime is a great suggestion.

[khaleesi]

Anastasia also has a kit with stencils that could be really helpful in getting the proportions right for your eyes.

It was really helpful for me.

I agree with trying something from Anastasia. I use her pencils, which are great too. I have super blonde eyebrows, and this is my process - eye primer, brow pencil, finishing powder. The color stays all day, easily.

Drop $20 on it. If you don't like it, you can mail it back to Sephora or bring it back to your local store and exchange it for something else.
