Eyebrow Nightmare

When I was a teenager I had normal eyebrows, a little bushy and quite thick. I started plucking them at about 16 and as my (fairy) godmother was a knowledge wielding makeup artist I never plucked too much or god forbid, plucked above the brow. I became a master eyebrow groomer and shaper as a result, which served me well as look what I do for a living now!
Everything was all fine and dandy until about three or four years ago when I noticed my eyebrow hair had stopped growing, and about 6 months ago it started to fall out. Not a dramatic hair loss I might add, but noticeable to me over time.
I think its down to the water here, as everyone complains about their hair thinning and so on but I can’t be sure!
So, what is a girl to do?
Well, I had a number of options. I could fill them in, I could lighten them, I could shave them off and draw them in (!) etc. I decided on option two; lighten them until they begin to grow again. I opted for this as I am quite dark; eyes hair and so on. As a result my thin brows stand out. I successfully lightened my brows previously so I thought what the hell.

I used Jolen as normal, they ended up a little lighter than usual but no harm done, it was quite nice. Within 2 weeks, about 30% of the remaining brow hair had fallen out. My brows have obviously turned into quivering hopeless wimps.
That leaves me with option one; filling them in (I am not going to shave them off). Previously, I filled them in with MAC Spiked or a variety of eyeshadows, but now they are all too dark. I rummaged through my extensive brow pencil collection and came across Dior Powder Eyebrow Pencil 453 Sable Sand, which I have never used. Lo and behold, as my Mother would say, it was a perfect match. The most perfectly matched eyebrow pencil there ever was! I filled and blended to my hearts content.

As a result, I have now returned to a somewhat normal state of eyebrow-ness. There is a brow miracle out there for all of us, although this doesn’t stop me lusting over other peoples eyebrows…

Sinead is someone who makes me feel unapologetically myself at all times. No airs, no graces, just endless chats, openness and support. Highly recommend having a Sinead in your life (she’s a divil for chocolate truffles, though).
