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]

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm sorry, Fred.

Am back home and am tired.

Does that still need a wax/gel, or is that both in one?
