Woo
I do that too.
I hate my natural arch, so I make mine bigger and better.

But I always do them, even if i'm not going anywhere.

It just seems a little messy to me because when I do, the brush picks up color from my brow. Then when I dip in the wax again, there's a smudge of color. I guess it's not a huge deal, but if anyone has any solutions...

I used to apply Smashbox Bowtech to control my brows, after I filled them in with brow powder. The wax controlled the shape without getting hard and crunchy and helped the powder to stay on. To avoid a powder/wax mess, I used TWO SEPARATE brow brushes - one for the powder and the other for the wax. (To avoid a mixup, I labeled the brushes by drawing a P - for powder and a W - for wax on the ferrules.)

I now use a brow gel, instead of the wax.

I bought the CG eyebrow gel (ugh..) and it will not hold my brows in place. They're good for like a minute and then pfooof into the fuzzy little catterpillars they are. I told myself I would cut down on my makeup spending.. so I can't be spending more than 20 bucks canadian on it.

I just recently discovered a nice brow gel/mascara by Laura Mercier. I found it next to the LM brow duos, at Sephora. (I was there buying the brow duo in Deep Blonde.... Although I am nowhere near blonde, the 2 shades in that duo give my dark brown brows a "nude," yet polished look. I use the duo in Ash, for a darker look, in the evening.)

It's a nice brow gel that gives a decent hold without making my brows stiff and crunchy....

I think, the brow gel was about US$20.... so it should be under Can$25....

i never thought that I needed to fill my brows...because they're so dark and just THERE...so I didn't until tongiht...

Might i just say that I FINALLY found a use for SHOWSTOPPER e/s? It gets released in like, every premade brown-ish quad and now, I can use it

On a side note, my Spanish teacher used to draw hers on and she looked scary...it was like, Attack of the Super Arches...

I agree with most of the ladies here.... Your brows are a bit too thin and uniform and your arch is a bit off.

I'd suggest you find yourself a good aesthetician that knows how to shape brows well. That's what I did and it made a huuuuuuuuuuuuge difference. I see my brow (and wax) "specialist"

every 4-6 weeks for a "shaping" with tweezers (and not wax. My face is too sensitive for wax.) I do minor maintenance in between apointments, just plucking a stray here and there, but I don't mess with the actual shape, myself. It's $20 well spent.
