brows

[chub0319]

my brows grow out of control. they grow like grass in all directions. i've tried using the pomade, but its a bit too dark for my brows, i have the gel and pencil and powder. the powder and pencil tends to rub off after a hour. any suggestions?

Glossier bow brow in clear. Works.

There is some strange thing called 'soap brows' where you take any clear/translucent soap and brush your hairs with it.  For the reviews I've seen on YouTube, it is effective for unruly brows.  I have not yet tried it, but then again, I don't have bushy brows.

If this isn't your thing, I would suggest taming them initially using a clear brow gel and spoolie.  I really like Boy Brow by Glossier, but there are others on the market. 

Then go in with a thin, angled brush and utilize the pomade you have.  You may be going in with a heavy hand or you could have too dark of a color.  I'd say going with a color one shade lighter than your actual hair color.  I use Tarte's Brow Mousse in Rich Brown (this set includes a double ended brush with spoolie on one side).  I have black hair and it works perfectly.  Staying power is on point.  Use a light swiping motion to mimic the brow hairs only filling in the sparse areas for a natural look.

After you wash your face or shower, brush your brows right away with a spoolie in an up and over direction. Having them dry in the desired shape helps a lot.

I really love a brow pencil like ABH brow wiz for shaping and filling in, the spoolie on the end is so helpful! The line has a variety of shades, so there should be one to match your colour or close to, I have dark brunette hair and use shade Chocolate.

I find pomade to take more time and experience, and it gives a bolder brow. Powders, for me, are a little bit messy and not as natural looking and precise. Watching some YouTube tutorials can be a big help in learning as well! Hope this helps @chub0319 ☺️

I have strange brows that are patchy and fine but are all over (Ive seen a couple other Asian girls with this too). I've never waxed or threaded because of sensitive skin. I use tweezers (I splurged on tweezerman), and I've recently tried the technique of brushing them up with a spoolie and trimming the crazy brow hair that pops out. it grows back so fast. o.o I've never tried a clear/tined gel because I'm too lazy and pommade was too bold for my brows too.

I feel ya! I have one brow that is perfect and the other is a psycho. I use eyeshadow primer and then I line them with a pencil and fill in with a powder. It’s the only way I can hide the crazy.

ive had the same problem with mine. I used clear mascara to "train" them until they grew in nicer and I trim them regularly. I'm growing them out right now so they are super crazy!

Yeah! I would brush them up and lightly trim with a pair of eyebrow shears any hairs that stick up over where you want your eyebrows to stop on the top. Then I would brush them down and trim what sticks over the bottom of the brow. You can also use a comb over shears technique to shorten the length of the brow hairs themselves. Or ask your stylist to shape them that way for you. Then I would ask you why you have to use so many products to line your brows if they are so wild and uncontrolled? Why not use a clear gel to hold them and a fine pencil to barely elongate them or fill them. You shouldn't needing to use so much liner that it rubs off. Why not accept a more natural shape?

If You're in a rush or something you can always buy a full coverage drug store concealer and use a small brush to clean them up a bit after you've applied your eyebrow product . You can also buy a small eyebrow trimming kit and do them yourself without spending so much money 🙂  Hope this helps .

My eyebrows do the same thing, I've bought eyebrow shavers, the razor is really small so I just shave off whatever I don't like since I don't afford to get my eyebrows threaded every few days (that's how fast mine grow out). Hope that helps!!

Bobbie Brown has an excellent brow tamer, clear or with color if they are turning gray. The gray ones are really wild. I brush mine up, trim them with a fine pair of scissors, & cover with the Bobbie Brown in Mahogany.
