Eyelashes and eyebrows

Hello Lovely Lovelies!

For anyone who is also without eyebrow and eyelashes....does any one have any great makeup or beauty solutions they would like to share?

I draw in my eye brows and have found it really not very noticeable that its not hair. But with the eyelashes thats hard. I feel self conscious that whenever anyone is looking at me all they see is that I have no eyebrows or eyelashes. I have noticed this is causing me to look away, not make eye contact and move my conversations on really quick.

Has anyone else felt this way...any tips on ways to feel less insecure about my eyebrow and eyelash less face?

Thanks for reading :)

Hi KStew, As far as what makes me comfortable I have my eyebrows and liner tattooed, but drew them both on for over 10 years prior to that with eyeliner, and still have to touch them up as they fade. I do wear both top and bottom false lashes though. If you are interested in this I can tell you where I order them and which ones I buy. You can see them in all my pics. I wear pretty long ones too, because I figure if I'm going to do it, go for it. Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Annie - I have been looking to get my eyeliner and brow tattooed. Do you have a place you recommend? I am in LA - and it looks like you may be in Venice CA right? Your lashes look great! I would love to know where you get them :) Do they stay on okay? I dont have any lashes so there is nothing to hold the flash lashes up etc...do you have a trick? Thanks so much for your response :)

Look forward to hearing more!

Hello KStew

I found great real eyebrows at headcovers.com. I ordered the light brown and I use DUO stick adhesive and they stay on for about 5 days. They look so natural, when I tell people they are not real they can't believe it. I found it was amazing what an eyebrow does for your face.
The one tip I learned with these is that once I get them, I use 91% rubbing alcohol and gently wipe some of the backing off of the back. This brings through a clearer back and it really blends in very well. When I didn't work some of the backing off, I thought it looked a little noticeable becuase I could see the edge line. Hope that helps

Hi BMG!

Does your skin ever get irritated with keeping the adhesive on for that long? Also do they stay on fine when washing your face? I'm getting married sometime in the near future and though he's ok with the AU, I wanna not worry about at least my eyebrows on the honeymoon. But I don't wanna break out wearing adhesive for that long =[

I wear false eyelashes, instead of gluing them to my lashes (since I have none!) I glue them to my eyelids. It takes some getting used to, applying and wearing, but its worth the effort and now I can apply them in seconds! In addition,I had my brows and eyelids tattooed about 20 years ago. I think it was the the best thing I ever did. It's nice to wake up in the morning and not look at a blank face in the mirror.
I would recommend all three, the really help make me feel "normal".
Hope this helps!

Trust me- get tattoos. I tried everything, tattoos are such a relief.

I also wear false lashes everyday. Takes 10 seconds now- been my lot for four years in June.
