Overplucking Remedy

Eyebrow Tip

I received a note from a reader about over plucked eyebrows. She wanted to know if there was anything that she could do to fix them up. She had tried a pencil and it simply didn't look natural. Here's the advice that I gave her.

Yes, there is something you can do until they grow out. Look for a brow kit that offers color and a product to hold them in place. There are lots on the market and in every price range. They will help you recreate your brow or you could go out and get yourself a tub of eyeshadow as close as possible to your eyebrow shade and fill them in as best you can with a cotton bud. The trick is to blend, blend, blend until they look natural.

As for plucking... make this a weekly occurance instead of a major "do it all at once" kind of thing. That's usually when you take too much.
