Eyebrow Disaster

Have you a matte eyeshadow which is close to your brow colour? If you have, it might be an idea to use that.

I am very blonde and my eyebrows are almost invisible so I shape and colour them with a brown eye-shadow applied with a soft brush. Please resist the temptation to try and even the brows up or you might not know when to stop.

Too late now but your silly friend should know to never pluck or wax above the brows. That's the quickest route to a very unnatural look, even if they do match

Awww, poor you, hope you feel better in the morning. I'd personally use an ashy/taupy eyeshadow and a stiff slanted brush instead to try and fill in and even up - give it a go. It looks far more natural than a eyeliner pencil does and you're more likely to get a good colour match - go a shade lighter than your natural hair colour and don't be tempted by browns with any sort of red tone to them. Perhaps you could pop out tomorrow and get a dedicated brow pencil and then have a good old practice with it - remember to go lighter and greyer than you think. Nice vid here from Lisa Eldridge to give you a few tips - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPTl4ZcPqCw Have some fun with them until they grow back, I'm sure you'll look lovely in the morning and no-one will notice at all.

Following on from this advice I would try the Boots 17 pencil in natural brown or Collection 2000 in Blonde, both good value and excellent products with no red at all, slightly more expensive and a pain to sharpen but still a good product is the Soap and Glory brow pencil, sorry cant remember the name, if you cant find the other two:)

I feel for you. I often have to watch what i'm doing when waxing my eyebrows due to a couple of chickenpox scars. I go that wee bit too far, I'm penicilling and blending like crazy!!!
