Brow Hair: Eyebrow Kits

 To achieve eyebrow perfection without hair removal, you can use Eyebrow kits!  I use the following:

1) Wet n Wild Ultimate Brow Kit in color 963 Ash Brown sold at Rite Aid drug stores.
2) Nuance color 100 Brown sold in CVS drug stores.
3) Ardell Soft Black sold in Sally's Beauty Supply.

The Nuance and Wet n Wild Brow kits both have a wax included in the trio.  The Nuance brow kit has a  highlighting creme included as well.

Another blogger junglebarbie.blogspot.com posted a video on eyebrow makeup application.  It was great!!!! She mentioned that the tail of the brow should be darker than the start of the brow.  The Wet n Wild Ultimate Brow kit was a great recommendation from her.  I had to search 4 stores to discover it only in Rite Aid Drugs store.

I use a combination of all three brow kits for my brows.  It definitely adds another 5 or 10 times on to my total cosmetic makeup application process.  Therefore, the brow makeup will continue to be for special occasions only.

I am attaching the eyebrow video tutorial here:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MlsJrgbfAA

Thick eyebrows equal Thick hair?

A trip down memory lane . . .

I have always maintained thick eyebrows with the exception of the few times that the estheticians "took half of my eyebrows off!"  I had to grow them all the way back in.

I only mention this because your eyebrows can give you some insight about whether your hair is fine, medium, or coarse.   Thinner eyebrows may mean that your hair on top of your head is fine to medium, but it has nothing to do with your hair's density on top.  You can have fine hair, but have a lot of density.

Thicker eyebrows usually signifies a coarseness to the hair.  Also, look at the curl of your eyebrows before you brush them for insight into your curl pattern.

Coloring Eyebrows

Eyebrow tinting is great for those who are starting to get gray hairs within their eyebrows. It is also great for darkening eyebrows. Caution: There may be some hydrogen peroxide in the ingredients. Those who are PPD allergic or who are sensitive to haircolor- should use caution.

The Godefroy brand pictured says it lasts six weeks. The color options are jet black, light brown, medium brown, and dark brown. This eyebrow color should NOT be used for your eyelashes. I assume it can cause blindness especially since the word "permanent" is listed on the box.
