I have naturally black and thick strands for my eyebrows. However there are a lot of sparse areas so I only fill in those areas. My brows look really bushy when I apply powder but they look sparse in photos. What eyebrow makeup can you suggest that will define my brows but they still look natural? Can you suggest any DRUGSTORE products? Thanks!
Try a pencil that is close to your colour and fill in those areas, then brush through them. I use NYX eyeliner/brow pencil.
I recommend not using black because it can look too harsh but try a dark brown without much red in it.
Sometimes I use NYX eye shadows in a mixture of medium brown and black with a stiff angled brush.
Hope this helped!
Also try out the NYC brow powder and wax duo. Setting your brow powder with a wax will prevent it from looking dusty or powdery and sparse giving it a more natural finish. But not only that, it will give them a slight bit more definition and prevent it from smudging or moving at all during the day. If you are ever interested in a higher end brand I definitely recommend the Anastasia brow powder and wax duo from Sephora or the Benefit Brow Zings, and Sephora even has their own brand that works really well and it is sometimes on sale for just 10 dollars!

I use smash box's eyebrow pencil in Brunette. I have a similar problem & it works wonders.
