With a light hand. They should probably be a light brown and not strongly outlined.

Without actually seeing your hair color and skin tone it is difficult to say. My guess is brown, not too harsh - probably lighter than the hair color.

Used to be able to find auburn eyebrow liner, haven't been able to in some time Try a light or medium brown, that's what I've had to use and I've found the darker actually looks better without it, I scare myself when looking in the mirror.

It is very easy and quick to dye your own eyebrows. Buy a box of Just For Men mustache and beard hair color. WalMart and many other stores have it. Make up a very small portion of it and apply to your brows with an artist's paintbrush. The applicator they provide in the box is too large. Leave it on for 5 minutes and rinse out in the shower. It is thick and does not drip. It will make your brow hairs thicker and you will find at the outer edges some hairs that you didn't even know you had. You have to re-do it every couple weeks, but you use so little of the product that the box will last a couple months.
Just for Men

I always dye my eyebrows to match my hair. I used to be blond. If your hair is "real" red, I'd go with an auburn. I buy eye liner pencils if I need a touch up.

I do what graywings suggested once a month, using a q-tip to mix and apply. After fretting and worrying if it would work or get in my eyes, I won't go back to pencils or make-up to "fix" them. It takes less than ten minutes (5 actually on you brows, as gw stated) total, it doesn't run, and they aren't as dark as the mix looks after you wash it out.

I just have my hairdresser do mine when she does my hair. She uses my lowlight color.

Lucille I have learned so much from you tube videos! Including makeup and hair styling. It is a treasure trove! I am not a fan of the huge square edges and very dark brows that seem to be popular with many currently. I like a very natural brow in shape and color. I have black natural eye brows same color as my hair. I have a scar in one of them and loss of the hair. On the rare occasions that I wear makeup these days I use a soft black brow pencil and a little pointy sponge to smooth and blend in. I do the less is best approach. I can't see to do it since my glasses are off and I just hope I am actually putting it on my brow lol. Hence not wearing it often.

Bossyvossy LOL. Raven I wear glasses sometimes too, I have one of those magnifying mirrors and that helps greatly for makeup application.

I wonder how Spock did his eyebrows, did they just put makeup on his real ones or did he have to shave them off?

Back in the early last century, my mom used to shape her brows with a razor, can you believe it? She was considered too young when she started doing this, so she used to be sneaky about it. One day her mother startled her while in the act and she cut her eyebrow with the razor. The hair never grew back in that area so she was a slave to brow pencil, until she tattooed them. It actually looked very nice.

I have my eyebrows dyed by my hairdresser. I also use an eyebrow pencil every day. Currently I am using one by Yves Rocher. It has the pencil on one end and a brush on the other end. I need to use a pencil because I like an arch and dye alone doesn't achieve that.

I picked up my order this morning at Walmart with the Maybelline 'brow mascara'. I chose the light brown color. I tried it and it went on quickly and having eyebrows that are not invisible makes a big difference.

I might try the dye suggestions in the future, but for now this is so easy. Raven I think I will take a look at some of those videos, good suggestion thank you.

In order to judge the effect of new makeup, hair, etc. I have started taking 2 or 3 selfies in the morning and really trying to critically judge what I'm seeing, and this includes going back a few days and looking at before and afters. I think I am going to go for a slightly longer hairstyle, I will talk to my stylist when I next see her. My hair is very short, maybe an inch, I think 2 or 3 inches might be more flattering.

My eyebrows are non existent...I use a blond Avon glimmer stick for brows. But with my hand tremor, they do not always match!...sometimes I have one Chinese one! LOL. I wonder if I could draw them on with the mustache color.

I just use the covergirl pencil, I like it.

Phoggie could you make home made eyebrow stencils? (I bet some enterprising person could make a million bucks selling a set of eyebrow stencils on Amazon, with each stencil named ofter some prominent person).

(Nope, I'm going to be good, not going there into politics).

Lucille they sell eyebrow stencils at ulta. Phoggie I would consider eyebrow tatting by a reputable and licensed pro.

Lucille, I see eyebrows being shaped and dyed at the same time hair is being colored at my salon all the time. So far though, I've just used the brow mascaras. I feel like I look a little blank without it, but can swipe it on in about 10 seconds, both brows. I've seen auburn, might go with your hair. In any number of brands, I don't think it especially matters for brows other than some come with easier brushes than others.

Morz8 I am really liking the light brown Maybelline brow mascara, as you say the application process is fast and to me it looks fine. Their brow mascara comes with an odd ball shaped brush that makes application easier.

Has anyone had their eyebrows tattooed? I tried the brow mascara and had it all over except where I wanted it.

My friend did, phoggie. At first the look was very harsh and unnatural but it toned down, not sure how long that took ---- maybe a week or two. Looks really good now.

I'd be terrified that the tattoo person would have a different idea than I of what an eyebrow should look like. I've seen pictures of some truly hilarious examples. And what happens when a face changes over time?

I fill in/shape my brows using a filler by Clinique. It's like a shadow and you use a small brush. I critique my brows in the car in my visor mirror. I can't get a good read in the mirror in the house. I guess because the area is isolated, I just see eyes and brows in the visor mirror. Then I can really tell where I need more or less to get a good or better shape.

my mother said they painted the brows first and client approves/modifies b4 actual tat. She never mentioned whether it was or wasn’t painful.

I use Maybelline brow mascara too. It's Brow Drama, and my shade is Blonde. I apply it the way the package directs, brushing it in one direction and then the other. I really like it, and hope Maybelline doesn't discontinue it. Cosmetic companies are so bad that way.

Another brow product I use and like is Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade. My granddaughter gave it to me for Mother's Day last year. You need a special brush, and it takes a little more time than the mascara, especially at first, but the results look great.

When I wore glasses I mostly ignored my fading, sparse eyebrows. But that changed after lens implants (during cataract surgery) eliminated the need for glasses. Brows make a big difference.

I had my eyebrows tattooed last fall and I love them. I had very sparse eyebrows and was tired of drawing them on. The gal used a numbing gel and i just lay on my back while she did them. We talked before and chose the color together. She was very good and I had seen the results on other people before I even contacted her. I would do it again.

Kris_zone 6, thanks...how expensive is this to do? I have never been able to find anyone in my rural area who has done this....but it sounds interesting.

Phoggie, I’d check on yelp and go to the largest city near you. Then call your 2 finalists and ask about licensing, how many eyebrows they do a month, price. I don’t know if dermatologists would give referrals. I think I’d insist on them drawing shapes prior to actual tatting. I might take a friend with me for input on the pre-tat shape.

Phoggie, it cost $300.00 and included a touchup about 3 weeks later.

I'm kind of obsessed with eyebrows...I won't leave my house without them! I would say the past year or so they've gotten unruly and sparse and the hairs I do have are wiry and they stick up and curl and they're longer....UGH. So eyebrow maintenance was forced upon me :(

I do dye them, but still have to fill in. I prefer L'Oreal pencil (water resistant) because I live in a hot and humid area and I need them to stay put. I could never get mascara types to look good. So I pencil them in heavier than I need and then use the mascara brush on the other end to brush through to get the lightness I want. I find that if I use a heavy hand on the brush, it actually makes it look more hair-like.

Phoggie, look up microblading. It's more natural.
