HD brows at home

Hi

I've been having the HD brows treatment done for a while now and keen to save money I'd like to try achieving the same sort of effect at home.

The dying part seems like it should be straightforward enough using one Colorsport or Eyelure Dylash. I don't necessarily need to wax, thread etc at home, I don't think. I think I should be able to just tweeze to get a similar shape if I can do the shape - the tricky bit I think. I've been thinking the way forward might be to get some stencils.

Does anybody know of any stencils that can be bought which may achieve a similar shape to the 'HD shape'?

Thanks

Gwenx

    i'm the same. dont have HD brows done just a tint and wax. instead of going every 4 wks i would like to try and stretch it out to every 6 wks. can tweeze at home just as a bit of a tidy but unsure what dye to use. and recommendations?
    i've seen stencils on QVC by shavata, could try here direct.

    If you alternating professional and then at home I think you would be able to see where to tweeze? Even if you did it weekly, just so you were clear on the original shape.

    I know in theory I should be able to tweeze at home to maintain the shape, but somehow I seem to manage to lose it. I'm not sure how :(

    I'll look into the Shavata stencils - thanks!

    In terms of dye, I've used Dyelure (I think that's what it's called) in the past. I think there's another one called Coloursport or something - I might try that next time.

    I don't know much about hd eyebrows, But I have very light eyebrows that make me look like I don't have any or that they are thin but there not its just some hairs light some are dark. I really hate my eyebrows. I was at a make up party for alan sugar and susan ma range and they have a set where you get a powder brush and set of 4 stencils. It is £25 for it all but you can buy it all separate. When I Was told about it I thought "yeah, that's what all brands say" but my word I nearly cried they looked that good and although I refuse to spend that much money on make up I just had to get one. you should check it out even if its just the stencils
    it might not be much, but its better than a kick in the teeth:rotfl:

  • Im the same as you hannah. My brows are completely invisible although theyre quite bushy as i discovered when i bought a 10x mag mirror! I use powder and a stencil too and ive never looked back. I love them! The set i bought included powder and four stencils called Beautiful Brows. I use the 'sleek' stencil which is thinner then the others so doesnt look too TOWIE.

    I know that the 2 of the 4 stencils I have are modern and elegant. I couldn't believe it when I saw them. I don't really wear much make up but I had to get myself this. I don't think id be without it again.

    Ooooo, thanks for this. I ordered this yesterday after reading your post. I LOVE it :T

    It came today (how quick was that) and I have just used it. I looked at the website and saw a video of how to do it. I am very impressed.

    Obviously only just put it on so no idea if it will last etc, but my brows look so groomed after using it.

    I gave up with the cost of HD brows after getting it for over a year and took the plunge and got them tattooed on and love them. I tweeze what needs to go and the tattoo shape is always there.
