really close between concealer and eyebrow pencil. if it comes down to one, eyebrows it is. i can put on tons of concealer but still look washed out if i don't fill in my eyebrows. with my eyebrows filled in, i don't have to do much with the rest of my face and still look polished. have always had light, sparse brows, so i have always envied the girls with really dark, full brows since childhood. i have a tough time with mascara since it requires too many steps i don't have time for (curling, laying on the mascara, separating the lashes), and with my allergies, i just don't like anything adding to the sensitivity on my eyes. with brow pencil, i just powder my brows, then fill in with the pencil. no smearing, taking time to remove clumps, lash curling, etc. no worrying if the mascara has smudged my lower lids nor that it has flaked all over my eyes

so all of you ladies who replied with mascara or lipstick must have no issues with brows

Or we have bangs!

It's lipstick for me.

Lipstick. I can even use it as blush in a pinch. My eyebrows could certainly use some quick grooming, but if I had to pick one then I would go for some color.

Estee Lauder's Spotlight skin tone perfector. It makes me glow.


I've used eye shadow for so many years that I don't really have to apply it anymore except to change the shade. It's as though I have a soft brown pigment "tattooed" over my eyes.

Luck woukd have it once at work I found my emergency make stash in my desk drawer in my office so I was back in business again lol

My vote would be Mascara. If I had a second vote lip gloss.

Probably lipstick - it brightens my whole face.

Well your skin may look great but it's not going to make your eyes pop.

I really should go the eyebrow dye route.

I do this what I do my root touch-up. It only lasts a few days for me. As we age, for a lot of women, the eyebrows get thinner especially the outside part. I read somewhere that thinning eyebrows can be a sign of a thyroid issue but I've had thin eyebrows for the last 20 years even with taking thyroid medication after it was removed.

Max Factor kohl eyeliner pencil - charcoal grey because it is just the right color! It blends well with white hair. Black is too harsh, brown is yuk.

How do you fix them? Just eat them raw, cooked, dressing, anything added like nuts, carrots, etc?
