Eyebrows
It's been a while since I've been on here. I have profiles on at least four social networking sites and I sometimes lose track.
I thought I'd post some thoughts about eyebrows. I know there are discussion forums, but I get overwhelmed by those because one person says one thing and gets so many replies that it's hard to get back to the original question. I also figured that if anyone cares about what I have to say, they'll take a vested interest in my blog, instead of trying to search for me within discussions.
So I can't remember how much I've talked about eyebrows, but mine are basically gone. I was able to keep them for a couple years by taking 60mg prednisone just once a month. But when my hair started to fall out again this year, the eyebrows and lashes went too, despite my still taking the prednisone. Oh well.
For those of you who don't know what to do without eyebrows, I was kinda lost too. When I was home for Thanksgiving break, my mom came back from grocery shopping and had bought me an eyebrow pencil. I was really nervous to try it because I had seen things like this go wrong. But I tried it, and it was surprisingly easy to make it look like real eyebrows! I would highly recommend getting one. It was $7, which is pricey, but my friends couldn't even tell they were drawn on! It's kinda fun, too.
So those of you with eyebrow anxiety, fear no more!

I have also lost all of my eyebrows, I have in some strange way been lucky that only one person has ever said anything to me about them and that was my boyfriend, in someways I find it odd that everyone so polite yet at times I just wish someone would notice, or say something. Anyhow I have toyed with the idea of drawing them on, but mainly never get around to experimenting with it, I'm not a makeup person over all and would never know where to start. So usually I just cover as best I can with a fringe. Maybe I should ask for a kit for Christmas with a little guide you get in make up stores where you colour in your required shape :)

My daughter had her's tattood and it helped so much.They come and go and never fill in all of the way but the tattoos make it less noticable and she does not have to think about it.

My 17 yo daughter had them "tatooed " last spring here in Rochester here in Rochester. It's a very experienced woman named lindi fancett. Her website is browpro.com or. 1browpro@gmail.com
Its called "permanent makeup " not tattooing. Really nice. Professional. My daughter was very conservative. One needs a "touchup " every year. This woman is very busy and good. It is a good thing. I had to talk my daughter into it but I know she's happy with it. She is on here. Colette Modrak

My eyebrows left me - again - during the last month. Then the eyelashes. For a guy surely a different thing. Strangely enough, nobody commented on my hairless eye-area. For my bald head I was called glitter ball. Whether it's a compliment, I don't know. At least these things are something special for special times, haha.

Maybeline, I think. I'm totally NOT a makeup person, but you should try it sometime when you have time and don't have anywhere to be.
