Has anyone "trained" their eyebrows?

[secretlyevil]

ABH has some stencils that I really liked when I played with them.


I gave up on reshaping my eyebrows, too many bad waxed when I was younger really exasperating the original differences. My person now is really great and has gotten them to be as tamed as I have ever seen them.

I'm not sure i'm following what you're asking. Trained them to do...what? do you want them to be thicker or thinner?

this is the part where you lost me: I fill them to look natural, but I'm toying with the idea of filling them where you can tell because I hate them so much.

what does that mean?

Do NOT stencil.
Use a skinny pencil, like Anasasia or IT cosmetics, brush your brows up, nand add fill strokes AT THE TOP. Then add a few fill strokes toward the center (bridge of your nose) to lengthen your brows and bring them closer together.
Don't add any fill strokes on the bottom. Brush your brows UP and fill the top of the arch. Always tweeze from the bottom, and fill from the top. Never tweeze the top of you brows.
This will have a big impact. You have GREAT brows!

You're so pretty! I don't know what you mean by training your brows, but I do think you could definitely stand to have a thicker brow than you do now. But I wouldn't go as thick and heavy as your second photo. IMO those super thick and obviously filled in brows end up looking cartoonish more often than flattering. Are you waxing your brows from above and below? If so, definitely pull back in both directions and let them grow out a little, then fill those areas in as much as you are now. Even like a millimeter or two would make a big difference.

ETA: I just noticed the part about how you can't grow out your brows. I can't imagine why that would be the case but if you can't, you can't, and the reason doesn't matter. If the only way you can make a change now is via pencil, I would just add a tiny bit of thickness to the top of your brow, as treedimensional suggested. You can attain the more angled shape this way too. Just do a little at a time.

I would also try to work toward a slightly more angled arch than the rounded shape you have now. I think that will look better, especially if you're going thicker.

Have you looked into microblading? I'm considering it myself and have been following the eyebrowdoc.tor here in NY. Her work looks quite natural.

[dexteroni]

Yes, they (and you) look great! That's a good thickness, too.

The only other tiny adjustment I would make would be to bring the insides a little. I've read that a good guideline is to draw a straight line from the very inside of your eye and bring your brow to that point. It would only be like a couple millimeters, but I think it would make a big difference.

Looks awesome!

And I agree, your eyes are set enough apart that you could fill in the center/insides and it would look even more polished.

You did a good job of avoiding instagram eyebrows!

I filled them a bit more this morning in the middle. This is too stressful for eyebrows.


Also, I feel like my new haircut is making my hair just get bigger and bigger everyday. LOL

The more you do it, the better you'll get!

I think they look good here, but I'd use a shade of brown darker

Your brows look great! I agree with the others on filling in the center. You can try Revitalash for your brows (they make a separate product) to try to see if the hair comes back. Keep tinkering with the 'art' of eyebrows and you'll get there

I've also grown them out a bit (not cute when you have dark bushy eyebrows) and then gotten them threaded to reshape. I ask them for a natural shape with small arch. I tweeze to keep the shape until I need them threaded & reshaped again.

loonylunalovegood, the person who does my brows recommended castor oil to help with hair growth. Basically rubbing it on your eyebrows every night. It helped in a few of the spots that were thinner and hadn't been growing in before. Other spots not so much. PS: your brows are looking really nice.
