Amen to this! I've really been in the mood to shape my eyebrows lately but am afraid of screwing it up and looking weird, so I just settle for plucking any stray hairs. I don't have the money right now to get it professionally done.
I use this really nice eyebrow kit from ULTA (you can also try Sephora if you don't have any ULTA stores): http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2137775&productId=VP11851&navAction=push&navCount=1&categoryId=cat80045&CAWELAID=202393054 I love it because it comes with a bunch of different stencils, (which I wouldn't rely on 100%) but they are great to help you find your preferred shape and then they help you maintain that shape. So I just shade them in and then use that as a guide to pluck/wax. Mine still aren't exactly how I want them, but they are on their way! http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y15/ShockTreat9/eyebrow-1.png
My town just got an Ulta actually! Thanks for the info. I'll have to pop in there next time I'm in the area.

NP! 🙂 Just be careful about prices.. they literally hide the prices from you, it's always a surprise when you go to check out your items. I once accidentally paid $20 for a little thing of eyeshadow..
😲 I think I would have crapped myself a little if I found out the eyeshadow I was about to buy would set me back $20! I am just way too cheap to spend that much on an eyeshadow. 😂
Hi there! Yes I can definitely make a tutorial for you ladies 🙂 I'm not sure if I'll do a video one or just some photos because it might be easier to explain how to figure out where the arch goes etc. through a photo. That is my project for tomorrow...after I do my own eyebrows that is! I am overdue and I can't do a tutorial if my own eyebrows look bad
Can't wait to see it! Thanks in advance for helping out those of us who are plucking impaired. 😂

ooooo that eyebrow kit is cool. May have to put it on my christmas list! Can't wait to see the tutorial glitter! IF your eyebrows need to be done, might as well do it when you do them! Perfect timing!
ok good to know there are some ladies who would like a tutorial! Since I am mexican and middle eastern I have the thickest eyebrows ever so I get them threaded at a salon....like I could win a contest if it was between me and Frida Kahlo for best unibrow...it's seriously gross LOL so I need an extra pair of hands to help because threading gets all those stubborn thick hairs that don't want to come out. But I do pluck them in between to keep up on the shape and I had to be tested on eyebrow shapes to graduate makeup school so I promise I won't steer you wrong 😀 I should post a before and after picture so you can see them, it's so bad!
Don't feel too bad--when I was younger, before I started plucking my eyebrows, I could have put Brooke Shields to shame. I've been plucking them since I was a teen, though, so now I only get a few stray hairs underneath the brow. I don't even get them in between my eyebrows anymore because the hair there just won't grow back. I just want to shape them more.
Thank you!!!
Ok I am pretty sure I'm going to just take a photo and draw on it so you guys can see how they should be properly shaped to suit everyone's face shapes, that seems easier than it would be if I tried to explain it...but I can make a little video of how I fill in my eyebrows if you want to see that too 🌸
Not gonna lie...but I am completely hopeless at this! So hopeless I gave up a few years ago and I started getting them done. I used to wax them and have recently switched to threading since it is less painful and I don't break out afterwards. I let mine go a little longer then is recommended because I pluck with my tweezers the few strays that pop up between. When it gets more out of control, I go get them threaded again. The place where I go is $12 so not too bad.

Sounds great Glitter! I have straight eyebrows that look manly if I let them grow in. I'm getting sick of having them look different every time I pluck. Can't wait!!! 🤸

Girl I am with you! I have the worst eyebrows, if they are not taken care of they will look very thick. The worst part of all is my eyebrows are blonde!!! I never plucked/wax until have HS. Having blonde eyebrows can be a gift - you can get away with not tweezing for awhile. But since becoming an adult I do wax mine at home and do the plucking as well. I really want to try out the threading.
You wax at home ❓ OW ❗ I don't think I could do that to myself!!
You wax at home ❓ OW ❗ I don't think I could do that to myself!! The brows arent so bad. I buy the strips from Sally Hensen. You heat them up with your hands. Anywhere else - I hire a professional. Learned that the hard way!
I keep thinking about waxing my eyebrows at home, but I haven't gotten up the balls to do it yet. I'm afraid I'll rip off half my eyebrow or something and have to go into work looking like some little kid that had a weird accident with some superglue or something. At least your brows are blonde--yeah, you have to pluck them eventually, but blonde hair isn't as noticeable so you can leave it longer. The weird thing is that although my hair has darkened up quite a bit as I've gotten older, when I was little I had bright blonde, almost white-blonde hair, and I've always had super dark eyebrows and eyelashes--as in, almost black. People probably think I color my hair because they don't match, but I've never messed with its natural color even once. I actually kind of like it, though. I think the contrast looks nice. (I don't, however, appreciate the fact that my leg hair is black. I hate body hair.)
Horsecrazy hopefully after my tutorial you will feel comfortable doing it at home 😀 I'm going to post it in a few mins!
