Eyebrows from hell--thick AND thin--need lots of help!?

They're nice and thick over the center of eye, sparse near the nose, with WIDELY scattered hairs in wide line heading towards hairline. (Brow color is dark brown; hair color is reddish brown---with some grey.)

I've had them shaped at a salon, which helps neaten things up. But it leaves me with about two hairs at the ends of my brows, which just doesn't look right on a BBW who's 50. (I also wear glasses all the time.)

Have no real idea of how to "draw in" nice looking replacements (or how to use brow shadow powder stuff effectively). Am a nitwit on putting on makeup, but am trying to learn (which is a lot of fun).

Can anybody point me towards some sites or references? Please keep in mind that I want low-key stuff---I'm a little old to do the Goth, emo, or really high-fashion sorts of looks! (s)

    Yeah, I would try a different salon if you're not satisfied. I use an eyebrow pencil and very lightly apply it with small strokes where the hairs are really sparse. Then blend it in with an eyebrow brush that you can find at any drugstore. Finish off with a small amount of hairspray to keep unruly brows in place and it will help the brow pencil stay on longer.

    I have weird shaped eyebrows. If you weren't happy with the salon you went to, try another one. I tried a few different places before I found someone who does a perfect job. I used to do my own but they didn't look nearly as good as the professional job. Like hairdressers, it can take a few trial runs to find the right person.

    The powder with a brush to color in your eyebrows it does not say who it is by, but it came with eyebrow stencils I am the same way I could not draw my eyebrow on to save my life I use them and it works well especially the powder they look natural not tacky drawn on!! When you use it blow the excess powder off it goes on more smoothly!!
