Hi! So my eyebrows are very weird shaped and light and I've been trying for quite some time to fill them in well. I've used colored brow gel, eyebrow pencils, eyebrow cream, powdered color for eyebrows, and eyebrow tinting and it all seems to make me took cartoonish, even if I go very light. If anyone could explain why or what to do thank you so much!! Here's a pic of my natural eyebrows.

The most natural way of filling them in imo is brow powder. Try to find one that is the same exact shade as your brows and use your brows as a guide to filling them in! I then set mine with Vaseline or a clear brow gel and use a spoolie to make them more natural. That's just how I do them. There are many different ways and it all takes trial and error (: You could research some tutorials on YouTube if you want to hear others tips and tricks.
If you really hate the shape, you can consider plucking/threading your eyebrows. I've never done that before, but lots of beauties here on beautylish have so don't be afraid to ask them if you're interested (:
I personally don't see anything wrong with your brows as they are now!

I would try threading to get an easier shape to work with like just to clean it up. And then I'd try a pomade and powder combo. Good luck!

I would go get your eyebrows waxed just to clean them up (make sure you go to someone who understands that and doesn't want to rip them off!) and then after that just tweeze them when they need cleaned up.

Your brows really don't look bad to me at all. What products have you tried?

I have found that Anastasia Beverly Hills is the best for brows. I have tried so many gels, pencils, and powders (L'Oreal, Elf, Nyx, Benefit, Tarte, Too Faced, Revlon, Wet N Wild, Milani, Sephora, NYC, Maybelline, and there's probably some I'm forgetting too..) and they all just looks so fake cakey and powdery. I was so sick of people asking if I filled in my brows because it was so obvious so I finally decided to go ahead and try Anastasia because I had tried practically everything else.

I use their Brow Wiz (to help fill in and 'draw' my eyebrows because they are so over plucked and non existent) and then I fill in with the Dipbrow Pomade so that they last all day. The Pomade is a nice product because you can make it really bold or really natural if you apply carefully. I was really surprised that I liked it because its more of a gel/cream and I thought it would look fake but it actually looks more natural than any powder I have used; you just have to get the hang of it and concealer clean up is a must! I dab a little concealer on my wrist and use a tinyyyy bit of concealer on an angled eyeliner brush to clean up so I don't have "halo" looking brows from the concealer. One more thing, the Dipbrow worke best with one of ABh brushes, I use the mini brush with the spool end on it.

Sorry for the long post but I hope I helped💕

I would definitely get them threaded & trimmed. whenever you get them threaded, they appear to be fuller, but it only lasts for a day or so. make sure you take a picture of your brows after they get threaded so you know how you want them to look. as katelyn said, a powder would be your best bet. and as lisa said, you should probably have a concealer to clean up under, and above, your brows! but I wouldn't recommend waxing because it can make your skin sag faster around that area. good luck!

I don't recommend waxing often! I just mean one time just because I tried just plucking and got out of control and ended up with hardly any eyebrows 😦 lol. I've heard good things about threading but don't have personal experience with. But waxing or threading once then in the future just pluck so you don't have to keep going back and having to do it...💕

A lot of girls in my honest opinion cannot work the bold or thick eyebrow look. Because well, that's just how it is. I think your eyebrows are beautiful as is!! Perfect shape in my opinion. Use the eyebrow pencil from NYX. There's s highlighter side you put under the eyebrow line and over to bring lift and attention and different colors for the eyebrow. What color are your eyebrows and hair? Never ever go darker then your shade of hair, meaning if you have red hair or blonde hair, don't go with black eyebrows. Your always safe with brown shades. Anyway! Get that eyebrow pencil from nyx and lightly fill in the natural shape of your brow. Don't do any kardashian style eyebrow, keep your natural self :)

Go and get them tinted, honestly. I was so skeptical about it and it took me a few months to go decide to finally do it but worth it 100%. I hadn't left the house for 5 years or something like that without having to heavily fill my brows everyday and finally I don't "have" to fill them in anymore, your brows are super full I'd just go and get them shaped and tinted. 👏🏻👌🏻

And as far as the filling in goes now I only have to fill the sparse bits which to me is a lot faster then filling in my whole brow.

I agree with Shreya. Threading is much better than waxing and will keep your brows growing. I would also add that you should try tinted brow gel for those days that you want a more natural look. Make sure you also buy a really good spoolie to brush them out.
