QuestionQUESTION: Hi,
I am a 38 year old woman. My eyebrows are sparse, especially from the middle of the brow outward (towards my ear.) My skin is light (not fair or porcelain like) and my eyebrows are almost black. My hair, however, is dark blonde/light brown.) What eyebrow filler/powder doesn't look fake? I have tried all sorts of pencils and powders and they all look ridiculous. And even the dark brown colors are lighter than the brow and very obvious. I have used short light strokes but still no good. And some of the products come with a gel substance to set it but I don't even really have enough brow to use that properly. Please help!
ANSWER: Hello Melanie :)
There may be reasons why your eyebrows are sparse and would like to ask a few questions please
They are important so I can analyze what your situation may be.
- Are you under stress?
- Are you taking any medications?
- Did you recently have an infection? Sometimes infections can affect certain parts of the body and the follicle may be one of them.
- At one point, did you overpluck your eyebrows?
You wrote that you have tried many eyebrow fillers and powders so I will let you know of other options which are:
Conditioning gels such as:
-Lilash and Librow Growth stimulator - by Alchemy
-Talika Eyebrows Conditioning Gel
this is a treatment applied on the eyebrows to stimulate growth and to make them thicker and healthier.
I recommend to call a dermatologist to inquire about this
Another option is Eyebrow Extensions.. individual hairs that are attached to your real ones- they last for a couple of weeks- many spas provide this service
This condition has touched some people I know and I hope that what I've written here helps.
Look forward to your reply to discuss further especially if you have any questions, please feel free to write back as I am concerned and want to help you!
Take good care
Warmly,
Elaine :)

QUESTION: Hi again,
No stress, medications or infections. I think I did overpluck at one time years ago because I really was never taught how to do it properly. They are now thin and I do still need to pluck underneath. But the main area is from the middle of the eyebrow outward it gets very thin and does not extend even to the outer corner of my eye. Do you know what I may be doing wrong with the powders or pencils?
