Fill: 
It's not a huge difference, but enough to make them more uniform throughout. EDIT: Why is my face more tanned in December than in May?? LOL I just noticed hehe EDIT EDIT: Wow, my hair has grown a lot. Umm, I need to go to bed, I had to much rum and am talking nonsense. Night lovelies xoxox |

However, as Trish said, makeup is an individual choice so everybody should do whatever they like.

When I first started doing make-up properly on myself, eyebrows weren't an issue. Then my best friend got married and I decided to have them done for her wedding. I went to a local beautician and she nailed them. I mean ABSOLUTELY NAILED THEM. I was shocked at the difference it made!
Then when I needed them redone i discovered to my dismay that she had moved on. In my ignorance I assumed the lady who had taken over from her would do the same job.
oh. my. days.
Butchered, molested and destoryed them. I cried. So I left them for a while.
I went down to London to visit my mom and she suggested I get them threaded at a local Indian shop she knew. Again the lady nailed them. I absolutely loved them. Went back up north and tried to find a threader and lo and behold I found one. but. she. MURDERED THEM. I couldn't believe it! I had sperm brows. Not a good look.
At that point I started trying to shape them myself. It was intimidating. Definitely. I know its only brows but with the history I had had with them I had to make a plan. My efforts were useless. So I ended up getting them done in london once every 6 or so months and trying hard to keep the shape up.
Then one day I got fed up and just thought to myself "I need to get these babies done. I trust no one up here so I'm just going to have to learn." I looked up a few videos on youtube and i spent the next hour tweezing myself to perfection. And now my brows look good. They not quite perfect but they are pretty darn close.
Moral of the story: Brows are your own choice but once your start to mess with them its really hard to go back.
ps. aziajs, your filled in brows are phenomenal in my opinion. You inspired me to get my brows looking on POINT! so thank you
pps. I've forgotten how to post pics on here but if you're curious for how my brows looks now visit my blog.

I agree with posters who say brows are such a personal choice. I am a bit torn about my brows. Mine are dark and thick. I pluck the strays but I have not changed the shape of it much. Ie. I don't trim or cut them.
I am aware that I can dramatically change the look of my face and I'm curious to see the change but at the same time, I kinda like it the way it is. It's become a part of me, also I am fully aware that once I go there I cannot go back to being natural. And the truth is I am too lazy to spend that much more time, shaping, filling and trimming them. I kinda like the fact that I can "wash and wear" my brows
Although I am now learning to fill them in when I do bolder makeup. I can't say I know what I'm doing just yet but I already notice the difference in pictures.

I am heartened by the fact that we all seem to have an "eyebrow issue" -- some too thick, some too thin, and some messed up by human hands. As I have said before, my face is nothing without my eyebrows -- and my eyebrows are almost nothing..lol. So, that means to me that every day I have to put on my brows

I think its all about your own preference. I feel that when I wear eyeshadow, filling in my eyebrows makes the look more "put-together". Also, my eyebrows are pretty thin before filling them in so its a MUST for me.
