How do you do your eyebrows

I started to do my own eyebrows myself recently (just pluck them) and I am really starting to like the results and I am starting to think why I didn't ever start doing it myself. I like being able to control how my own eyebrows look.

Usually when I get my eyebrows threaded, the lady is always rushing and she never asks how I like them, so I end up with eyebrows I don't like. I like my eyebrows to look a certain way.

How do you do your eyebrows? Do you pluck/wax/thread or do them yourself??

Pluck and pencil them thick with a natural look 👌🏽

wax them all off and paint them on with oil paints, set them with flour
I just pluck them to neaten them up and then tidy them up with the Anastasia Beverly Hills dipbrow when I'm doing my makeup.

Why can't people just answer a simple question without trying to make a joke out of it :frown:
I pluck them and then do nothing. I have dark eyebrows and they are quite thick so I'm lucky to have been blessed with them.
I do nothing right now. I tried plucking them a while ago so I know I have the technique down for when I feel the need to start doing it, but currently it's a bit of a hassle for someone with no social life.
i've never had mine threaded/waxed etc, i just brush them up and out then fill them in(with pencil) with like an ombre fade effect then highlight underneath
I pluck them. I would NEVER let somebody else near my eyebrows.:noway:

I shave mine off and then draw them on with liquid liner :giggle:

Jk I pluck mine because it hurts less than threading and I have total control over the hairs I remove; with threading I also found that the lady removes wayyy too much hair.

However at the moment I am in the slow process of re-growing because I went a bit bonkers with the plucking and removed a bit too much :sigh:

FINE.

I pluck mine to get the shape that I want. Then I use a loreal hard pencil to fill /darken them up a bit. Brush through them with a spoolie to disperse the product evenly. Set with clear brow gel from elf. Try to achieve a natural look.

But sometimes when I'm doing makeup whilst predrinking they might get ****ed up but who cares im drunk

I use a white eyeliner pencil to highlight around the shape that I want my brows to be like; any hairs which fall inside the white pencil line or outside of it, I pluck. It makes it easier to get my brows nice and even instead of what i used to do which was pluck and pluck some more until they're odd as hell :smile:
If my hairs are looking messy, that's usually due to them being too long.
For this, (i'd like to say i get some clean water but meh, i'm human) I lick my finger and swipe it across my brow. Then, with an eyebrow brush, I brush upwards and trim the tiniest amount until i'm satisfied.

I could go on and on( I'm brow obsessed!!! ) But I shan't.

Thank you!! :h:
I usually just leave them and do anything to them but yesterday I got them waxed for the first time ever for my mum's wedding next week. It was actually quite relaxing! Got it done at a salon and they said they should be done every few weeks but tbh, I will probably only get it done every few months or once a year. I'm lazy :colondollar:
