What do you ladies use to fill in your brows? I need suggestions.
Do you use eyeshadow/brush?
Do you use pencil?
I had a waxing experience gone bad a couple years ago that resulted in a place on my brow that will not grow back, I haven't been filling it in, but lately I've been noticing it more,and its bothering me.
I want something that I can use everyday and that looks natural.

I use a Brown Eye Brow pencil that I got from in the Beauty Supply Store. I use that fill it in and on some occasions I use the Brow filler by M.A.C, the powder set.

I use Milani Eyebrow Pencil. If you apply it lightly in strokes that simulate the hair, you can get a very natural look. Another pencil I liked is the MAC one. It's sharper than Milani and is self sharpening as well. I am not sure what made me choose Milani over it. But Milani dark brown is my baby.

I've probably used half a dozen different brow products. Either the color was weird or they didn't last all day (even the ones with wax). I got truffle gel liner from coastalscents.com and decided to try it on my brows. It was the perfect color and lasts ALL DAY long. I love it!
It also makes a great liner.

Here is my routine:
Apply tinted moisturizer on my face
Lightly brush (using a kabuki brush) MAC Blot powder over brows
Use the pencil side of Revlon's Brow Fantasy
Go over the pencil with the Gel side of Revlon Brow Fantasy
when perfect, Brush again with MAC Blot Powder to set
Perfect brows everytime! (Just make sure you don't need to have them waxed/tweezed/threaded as shaping them will be more difficult). I used to have the problem with my brows running and/or fading as the day goes on but I've finally found a way to have staying power! Plus I don't have to go around looking like Bert & Ernie from Sesame Street...

I fill in with a dark brown eyeshadow.
I was too heavy-handed with the pencil.
I use a slanted Loews brush from Michael's to apply.
I love it!!

I use that one for brows too! It has the perfect amount of stiffness for brows (and is horrible for lining). To answer the question, I use Benefit Brow Zings in dark. It is the perfect deep, dark brown and comes in a little compact with a mirror, tiny tweezers, and two little brushes (one rounded and one angle, none of which I use). It has a powder/shadowy side and a wax side. I tap the brush into the powder then hit the wax and it fills in naturally. I love this stuff and I have my original one that I bought probably over three years ago and am just starting to see dents.

Check out Ateyaaa's brow tutorial. I used to use pencil, but now I use brow powder/eye shadow and an angle brush, and my eyebrows look fab. I do a modified version of her technique. I think she uses 3 or 4 powders and pencils to create her brows.

Girl I tried other brushes but this one is the truth! I don't even use the d@@n (d@@n) eyeliner.

TY! it is MAC Amberlights and Coppering along with a brown from one of my urban decay pallets in the crease lightly. And before I started watching you-tube and coming to the make-up section my brows were a hot mess but you couldn't tell me nothing:lachen::lachen:

TY! The blush is MAC petticoat MSF and highlighted with amberlights e/s on the top of the cheeks.
ETA: I also used ricepaper as a brow highlight.

I use Clique quickliner in dark brown. Its really easy to use. The I use MAC handwritten eyeshadow over that
I am in a different category because I don't have any eyebrows (no joke!). The lack of hair is so severe that filling them in will never look natural. I don't even fill them in, I draw them on. Using dark brown (not black) keeps them from looking too weird and fake. I also don't make them too thick

I fill them in w/ a Jordana retractible eye pencil. The color is Lavish Brown. Sometimes, I like to set the color by going over the pencil w/ MAC Embark and an angle brush.
