Eyebrow question.

I'm probably going to dye my hair black soon. But here comes the problem:My eyebrows are almost completely invisible.
What can I do with them?
Should I dye them in black too?
Or maybe shaving and painting them every day is better?
Can I just leave them as they are or will it make me look extremely silly?

Draw them on.

Black hair + no eyebrows = ugly

You could use an eyebrow pencil to darken the existing brows a bit. If you can be bothered though, shaving and drawing them on can look great when done properly.

Brow correcter will give you the best results but if you don't feel like getting any then use an angled brush to brush on an espresso eyeshadow (you could also use a black shadow but it will look a bit harsher)

I'd shave them if I were you. Black liquid eyeliner eyebrows look amazing with black hair. And don't worry, if you get bored with shaved eyebrows they'll grow back fully in about 2 weeks.

I didn't think to mention it before but both of these techniques are men to be used on eyebrows, not smooth skin, so don't shave your eyebrows if you are going to use them

Actually, I sometimes use eyeshadow and an angled brush to draw on my eyebrows. It gives a more natural look if i choose.

It is a liquid that comes either in a little jar or in a tube like mascara (I don't really like these ones but they are more easily available and cheaper) and it works a little like mascara for your eyebrows, it gives color and added volume to the hair. It comes both colored and clear. It is also sometimes called brow gel.

I had them dyed and waxed one time, it looked pretty, but it was like 30 dollars. Luckily for me my eyebrows are thin enough to just dye and get away with just plucking a couple of strays. But you didn't hear it from me because you're not supposed to use the dye on your brows or near your eyes.

I'd recommend a wedged brush and some black shadow or some of the creme eyeliner that you apply with said brush.

First of all if you don't get it in your eyes it's no problem but you have to be fucking careful.
Second of all, they make special eyebrow/eyelash dye for that specific reason.

Because I use the normal dye, I go blind in an eye then I only have myself to blame for my stupidity.

Just saying, if you're that fucking concerned use the eyebrow dye.

I would dye my eyebrows brown, but not black. Brown is good enough, and you can pencil them in with black if desired. However, it is probably best to go to a sallon to have it done. Their dye lasts longer and they are trained to do it. Getting brown dye at the store could be messy and it loses its effect quickly and you have to put vaseline around the brow so it doesn't dye everything. Rubbing alcohol helps take it off the skin, but it can be messy. They have eyebrow dye at most beauty supply stores.

I personally think shaved eyebrows look rather stupid. I'd go the eyebrow pencil route or dye them as well...while you need to be extremely careful and don't get any in your eyes, I've smeared a tiny bit of dye across my eyebrows before and it worked fine. Perhaps I haven't seen anyone who's "done it right," but anyone I've seen with shaved and drawn on eyebrows looks stupid.

I dye them black so I DON'T HAVE TOO pencil them in. It's kinda the point of dying them.

Also, I had my eyebrows dyed at a salon once, they faded very quickly compared to doing it at home with normal dye. It was very disappointing. =\ Probably because dye that wouldn't hurt your eyes probably isn't as strong as normal.

You're not fucking hot. I'd rather fuck an animal.
Seriously, get the fuck over yourself. If you're trying to be funny, you're failing badly.
Those pictures of you were one of the two things that have ever made me want to puke just by looking at something. 2 girls 1 cup and you. You're repulsive.
Fuck off our boards you freak. You're not a goth, you most likely don't even like goth music and I bet you don't even know the fucking definition (expression). You're pathetic.

I know it's stupid for me to even get this fired up but I just want you off the boards.

PS: Don't tell me to ignore it.

Poisoned, no, you´re not a pro, you´re a pathetic little bug that keeps annoying the fuck out of me. I on the other hand, am a pro, with several makeup jobs on- and off stage on my CV, and I´m telling you that you are wrong. The human face is dependent on the brows for a unified and balanced look. If you shave them off, or hide them (in character makeup, for instance), it will cause the audience to think that there´s something creepy, and oddly wrong with this person without quite knowing what it is that´s bothering them.

I saw those pictures. It made me loose my appetite. Still, I was raised to behave like a lady, and I will try to apply these principles to my every day interactions, no matter how disgusted I might be with certain aspects of this. It is a good exercise in self- control, discipline and acting.
