eyebrows

Have lovely dark (black), thick eyebrows but, in my sixties have acquired the occasional white one, plus they tend to get a bit unruly. I have them reshaped regularly and then they are fine for a while but I need to use something to keep them flat in the odd couple of weeks when I am trying to stretch out appointments. I don't use mascara but that might work I suppose? A clear one if such a thing exists? No keen on vaseline as dont want them to look shiny.
Thanks

  • I use hairspray on a toothbrush to keep mine in control in the inbetween stage before having them threaded again.

    I got to superdrug to have mine threadedfor a fiver where the girl shows me how to keep the skin taut with my hands while she threads and it does not hurt.;)

    If they are like mine and grow thick and wiry then making them lay flat is impossible

    I use a lash/brow comb and a small pair of scissors and trim them. Using the comb to guide the scissors means you dont get bald areas

    The white ones ( two in one brow) i just pluck clean out

    No7 sell a clear brow gel which is very good. I use it and I have very thick brows, but they are not particulary wiry.
