Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Also, if your eyebrows have thinned or lightened, find a brow pencil to fill them in with teeny-tiny strokes. Faint eyebrows are one of those things that can look "off", unless it is SUPER OBVIOUS that you're going for a stylized high drama look.

(I fill my eyebrows in with a metallic burgundy liquid-to-matte lipstick, but it matches my hair, I am a High Drama makeup person, and the formula means it doesn't smudge. )

Cool. Thanks, Atropa.

I didn't really like cream eye shadow back when it was a thing when I was a teenager.

ETA, I have weird eyebrows, so I've got plans and a pencil that seems to work reasonably well. I've never actually fixed them right, so I plan to practice.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Thank you , dear ones. Today has been a better day.

I cover the 2-3 greys in my eyebrows with one of the gel eyebrow tamers from Maybelline. When I bother. I don't usually bother. (I'm almost 45 and have Peter Capaldi eyebrows.)

I didn't recall looking at his eyebrows, so I went and took a gander. Those are serious! Mine are decent for the first half, and then suddenly cut off into trailing bits halfway across out to the outside of my eye. Like....eyebrow, eyebrow, look a squirrel!

Our wings are not tired.

My eyebrows are pretty non-existent. It didn't matter with the long bangs I wore most of my life. Now my glasses frame my eyes. From time to time my SIL will wax them into some kind of order, and a couple times she has talked me into tinting them, but that startles me!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

In early adolescence I had a monobrow, pretty thick from end to end. I pulled up my socks and created the gap between--the old trick with a pencil along the line alongside the mouth corner and nostril; the eyebrow is supposed to begin where the end of the pencil crosses the monobrow. And through years of constant tweezing I became inured to the pain. I cleaned up the line of my brows from underneath, which left the outside third a bit thin and undefined, but I've always worn glasses and only dealt with that bit for super special occasions. I never really learnt the art of penciling in well.

Now I have the occasional white eyebrow hair which I pluck, and I have my handy brow scissors at the ready for the new coarse wiry hairs that want to beetle. But on balance, the wild rambly undersides and middle brow hardly grow in at all, any more.

Ugh. I just heard from the mortgage place, and their appraisal for the condo is less than what I'm offering for it (because another unit in the same complex sold for a lot less a few years ago -- but this exact unit sold for about $5000 MORE than what I'm offering a few years ago), and they might not be able to approve me for the mortgage at that price. And he doesn't have an answer for me about what could be done for that, since there's someone else who's offering to buy this same condo with cash, and the owners will just sell to that person if I can't get the mortgage, rather than being willing to negotiate.

My eyebrows are kind of over-exuberant. I pluck out the ones that get long and curly, the white hairs if I can, then trim what's left (read an article in a magazine at the hair salon on how ... it works out OK).

I moisturize heavily twice a day. For make-up, I like a liquid foundation that I then go over with a wet blending sponge. When I'm done, I dab a small amount of moisturizer over the cheeks and the area around my mouth (which, for some reason, tends to get really dry and the foundation cakes). I am a distinctly non-dramatic make-up person, so it's foundation, either an eyeliner pencil or eyeshadow used as liner and mascara. (This from a 66 going on 67 year-old woman).

Oh that sucks Hil. We were super worried about that happening when we were purchasing. Ask your agent if there are any options on getting another appraiser to take a look or something like that.
