Longer Eyelashes Thicker Eyebrows

If you have over-plucked your eyebrows you could try rubbing olive oil or castor oil on your eyebrows at night and see first if this helps.

Have you Over-plucked Eyebrows - Over-tweezed Eyebrows?

Eyebrow Transplants for Thicker Eyebrows

If you see no improvement in a month, then you might consider eyebrow hair transplant. Fine hair is taken from your scalp or leg. I don't know about you, but my leg hairs are pretty thick, so I imagine most hair is taken from the scalp. It is micro-surgically transplanted one or two hairs at a time. Most of those transplated hairs will fall out for a period and then begin growing around 4 months later. The procedure takes 2 1/2 to 3 hours and the cost is $2,500 to $5,000 for both eyebrows.

The best advice I can give is - do not over-pluck your eyebrows.

How to Pluck Eyebrows

Only tweeze out stray eyebrows outside of your eyebrow line, above eyebrow and below eyebrow, and between your eyes. Some experts say do not pluck eyebrows above, but nothing will happen to you if you do, and do you really want stray eyebrow hairs sticking out above your actual eyebrows? I didn't think so.

Trim long hairs in your eyebrow if they are too long.

A well-shaped eyebrow frames your face and is one of the most important features on your face. Careful eyebrow tweezing and refraining from over-plucking your eyebrows will mean that you will not regret being over-zealous. As you age your eyebrow growth diminishes.

In my mother's day, the thin eyebrow, almost like a line, was all the rage, but as she aged she was left with very few eyebrow hairs and regretted it.

The photo immediately below depicts the slim eyebrow of the 1920's to 1940's. In fact, some women just had a fine line of eyebrow hair, or none at all, and then used a pencil and drew over to create a fine eyebrow line! Many drew above the actual eyebrow arch to achieve that innocent surprised look.

A lot of money is spent on cosmetics, but a small percentage is spent on eyebrow cosmetics. The most important feature, that can enhance and frame the beauty of a woman's face, is her eyebrows! Essentially, your face is the picture and your eyebrows are the frame.

The perfect eyebrows are rich, full and show the perfect arch. Whether by nature or over plucking, at times, you can suffer from a thinning of your eyebrows. This can affect the entire look of your face. Your face deserves the perfect frame.

There are several ways to achieve eyelash growth.

One is to use an Eyelash Curler, and then apply a Mascara that either thickens or lengthens your lashes or both, depending on what you want to achieve.

You can also use a product to improve the overall health of your eyelashes which can also encourage and promote eyelash growth, such as an eyelash stimulator. If your eyelashes are falling out and you know it is not due to poor health, then certainly a product such as an eyelash stimulator can improve your eyelashes.

Or, how to get thicker eyelashes naturally; go the natural route and rub a drop or two of castor oil or extra virgin olive oil on your lashes every night at bedtime and leave on overnight. Wash off in the morning. A lot of women say their lashes grew considerably after doing it for several months. I also heard that applying (cool) almond ash works, but not sure where you would find it.

In the meantime, you can apply False Eyelashes for those special occasions.

L'Oreal's Double Extend Mascara offers the same impact as false eye lashes and comes with one wand for primer, and another to coat lashes in color.

Tube technology mascaras contain polymers that wrap themselves around every single lash, encasing each one in a rubbery little tube.

The point? They smudge less.

Too Faced's Lash Injections also coats the lashes by forming tubes around them to create a fuller effect and gives your lashes the look of lash extensions. Too Faced claims their 3D lash coating technology is so effective that it rivals the look of expensive false eyelashes.

Tubular mascaras are still going strong: ModelCo Lascara, Cargo Texas Lash Mascara, Too Faced Lash Injection, and Blinc Kiss Me Mascara all have faithful followers.

Too Faced's Lash Injection Antidote Eye-Makeup Remover and Waterproof Mascara Remover is made for stubborn mascaras, specifically those that contain silicone. Tube technology mascara slides off with this eye-makeup remover.

Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler. Stroke mascara on your lashes with a really good brown mascara and once they are almost dry, take a black mascara and stroke it just on the ends of your lashes. It will really make your lashes pop.

Or, apply a clear mascara first and then apply the black or brown mascara on top for some decent length without using false lashes.

The Basics

A) Stand in front of the mirror. Look straight ahead. Try visualizing an imaginary straight line from the base of your nose to your eyebrow. (You can also use a pencil as your line, if it helps). First, imagine the line (or place your pencil) straight up from the outside base of your nose to the browline -ideally, that's where your eyebrow should begin (A).
B) Second, looking straight into the mirror, imagine the line (or place the pencil) slanting across the center section of the eye, to the right of the pupil. That's where the arch should be (B).
C) Third, imagine your line (or place your pencil) angling even further, straight past the outer corner of the eye. That's where the end of the ideal browline should reach (C).

Eyebrows 101

Tweeze excess hairs, working from underneath the brow to even up and clean up the line. Does the line of the natural brow stops short of the outside corner (point C above)? No problem. Use a freshly sharpened eyebrow pencil to draw a thin, delicate line to extend the browline to the outside of the eye. Blur the color, lightly with a fingertip.

To lift the arch of the brow higher, tweeze hairs from just below where you want the arch to be highest. This also instantly "opens" the look of the eye.

The eyebrows should be at their fullest at the inside edges, right above the inside corners of the eyes (A). If your eyebrows are thin or sparse, fill in with short, slanted hair-like strokes with your brow pencil. Follow with a stiff brush dipped in complementary eyebrow powder color. Use the same motion to apply it, adding more weight to the pencil color. Let the line gradually thin out as it goes past the arch of each brow (B). Source: Lamas Beauty
