Eyebrow Enhancement Tips

Allow thin eyebrows to grow fully. If over-plucking has caused your eyebrow to become thin, allow them to grow back, until they begin to display their original shape. You can use to mascara to tame your eyebrows while they are growing, to avoid an unkempt look.
You can also try tinting options for thin eyebrows. If you get your hair colored, you may well ask your stylist to color your brows as well, one shade lighter than the color of your hair. It will become easier to figure out how many lashes you actually have, once the hair gets colored. You can also use a touchup pen to impart color to your eyebrows.
Before you begin to pluck your eyebrow, brush the hair up and trim the tip of the hair that extends further than the top edges of your hair. While plucking hinders hair growth, trimming serves to stimulate hair follicles. For a more natural look while trimming the eyebrows, take care not to trim straight across the hair. Cut them one by one, using an eyebrow trimmer.
It is important to remember that the eyebrow lash you are plucking will never grow again. Therefore, only pluck the stray lashes, which fall on the outside of the natural brow shape. If you want to figure out from where your eyebrows should begin, hold a pencil straight up and down along the edge of your nostril. The eyebrow area begins from where the pencil touches the brow bone.
Use eyebrow powder in place of eyebrow pencil. Eyebrow pencil leaves a sharp and thin line of color on the eyebrow area, which looks awkward on the face. Eyebrow powder gives a fuller and more even appearance to the brows and also stays on longer, due to its oil base. Go for a color that is one shade lighter than the color of your hair. Use small feathery strokes to conceal the thin spots and define the natural brow shape. Brush your brows up and out, to blend the color well.
