HD Brows - Are they worth it?

I wondered if anyone has had HD brows and if they are worth it? They cost £25 at my local salon and £15 for maintenance. After years of plucking/waxing my eyebrows have no real shape or definition. Any advice would be appreciated as I am concerned they may look very unnatural as I have seen mixed reviews.

    Sorry, I just think they look plain weird.:o

    I'm sure there are places that do a more natural looking eyebrow 'tattoo' that's semi-permanent, I remember my aunt was going to get hers done because she'd over-plucked them when she was younger. My mum did too, she just uses an eyebrow pencil.

    Thanks for the response. That's what I was worried about! I had booked in for next week but I think I am going to cancel it and just use an pencil/shadow instead.

    What do you get in HD brows?

    How long do they last?

    With HD Brows, you are paying for the brand name. If you have a good beauty therapist they'll be able to shape your brows to suit your face then you can either keep the shape yourself with tweezers or go back for a wax/threading. ELF make up do nice eyebrow kits they come with a wax to hold them in place, colour powder to match your brows and mini brushes.

    I just can't understand them at all. I know some are better than others but whenever I see them, I think slugs on the forehead!

    Mine, although not really thin, are quite natural, with a decent shape. I will sometimes use a pencil to give them definition.

    I think they look really weird, they're too angular and don't look at all natural. The worst ones look like a 5 year old has drawn them on with a marker pen :rotfl:

    She looked so much better before the slugs attacked.

    That's an unfair description. Slugs are much more soft and natural looking than HD brows :D

    I call them Sharpie brows for that reason. I don't understand why anyone would want eyebrows that are in a really harsh block colour (that is usually darker than their natural colour) and has that strange square shape on the inner part of the brow. If you want that unnatural look just shave your brows off and paint them on and save yourself the money!
