I prefer a mascara-ish gel (I use MAC's auburn shade) but mostly for shaping and control, no filling.
Smashbox has a good selections of colors, and people love it. It's a split, with powder on one side, and wax on the other.
I am going as Zombie Apocolypse Velma for Halloween, but am having trouble finding a red skirt in my size, and orange knee socks. I wish I could afford a large stuffed Scooby, because I would SO make Dan make a zombie hand to put in its mouth.

I am entirely unaffected by most sports, and liked the LotR movies and read the books (which dragged, even though I mostly enjoy baroque world-building and Very Large Books.)
do people have recs on eyebrow pencils or fillers?
A matte eye shadow that's close to your hair color, applied with a flat angle brush. Biorequiem has a tutorial that shows the same method: [link]
allright I got something off Sephora - thanks for the recs and thanks bon bon for the 20% off notice. My eyebrows are really thing toward the end until I fill, but I also want to really shape them more. From this picture, [link] how much of an arch do people think would look good?
I am disappointed in the Smashbox pencil I just bought. What I had before from their Reel to Real set was much nicer--a brow-specific version of what Jilli recommends. I need to check and see if they still have that.
eta: This, without the lighter shade. You really need that?
Okay, I am getting one of those BarkOff devices to see if I can train new neighbor's ceaselessly yapping dog to shut the hell up.
I am envisioning this as something like The Clapper for dogs. Bark On! (clap, clap) Bark Off! (clap, clap)... y'all know the rest.

I cannot think of anyone, except professional makeup artist who are being paid to do so, who would use the lighter shade. I looked at the instructions:
"fill in with the lighter shade, define with the darker".
Eyebrows do not require multiple shades to fill in.
(My opinion may be suspect, however: I've been filling in my brows with a black loose pigment that has lots of pink sparkle.)

Oh, good. I'm glad someone who knows something thinks it's overkill. Is $24 a decent price if I'm ignoring 1/4 of the box? I did like their wax, which I can also get separately, but I'd rather do a twofer.

No. Maybe the Clinique Brow Shaper is a better bet? [link]
I don't know anything about the quality of their brow wax, or any brow wax, really. I use loose pigment and OCC's Mixing Medium.
Timelies all!
I'm sorry, Fred.
Am back home and am tired.
