Q. My eyebrows are disappearing due to a thyroid condition. What products do your recommend for filling in sparse brows?
A. Here are three easy steps and techniques to achieving long-lasting eyebrows:
- Start off by making sure your eyebrow area is free of excess oils.
- Use a brow pencil one shade deeper than your skin tone with a light touch to create the shape of your brows.
- Finish up with a brow powder in the same color tone as your brow pencil to fill in and create more definition and long-lasting eyebrows.
There are so many great brow powders on the market, but here are some of my favorites!
- Jane Iredale PureBrow Gel ($16.50) and Bitty Brow Kit ($27)
- Anastasia Duo Brow Powder ($23)
- MAC eyeshadows ($15)
