Heat can melt pencil where I live, so I use taupe Clinique eyebrow powder for the brows. I just have to touch up eyeliner all day.

Thank you for your help. I have another question how do you make your head and face color blend so it looks better?

Hi there,   I had this exact issue last summer when I first went 'au natural'.   I used Clinique bronzer and added a light bushing.  As this is summer time I would start exposing your head to the sun ( of course with sun screen)  You will find that it will start to even out.

In terms of eye brow pencil.  I found a liquid eye brow liner by Stila that stays on until you wash it off.  It is the best I have found.   I did have my eyebrows tattooed two weeks ago.  The best decision ever!!

Small frequent doses of sunshine on your head with sunscreen is a good way to go.

You could also do a spray tan for immediate results.

No harmful UV Rays and lots of spray tans are food color based that last about a week to 10 days.

Was thinking of getting brow tattoo. What do you do about the fact you have no eyelashes? Any tips?

I use eye liner.  Other then eye liner tattoo (which I'm not interested) there really isn't much else in the way of make-up.  I would suggest going to your local make-up counter and have them help you choose the colour that suits your eyes.  I also wear eye glasses which adds a bit of camouflage.

Thanks Michelle I wear glasses also. Any other advice as I am a newbie to being bald. It's kind of hard to deal with.

Also what is a henna crown?

Kat I think it takes tremendous courage to live with alopecia.  Whether you wear a wig scarf,bald, tattoos at the end of the day these are your choices.  Take it one day at a time.  Know that you are more then a woman with hair loss.  And the reality is that you will have good days and sad alopecia days.  I sure do.  For the most part now its not even on my mind.  I do get stares which I now don't mind.  It is rare for woman to present themselves bald.  At the end of the day, this is me :)
