As I have gotten older I have unruly eyebrows. Like some long ones that just want to stick out at odd angles (You youngsters don't laugh ~ your day is coming! I used to laugh at my mom ~ now I AM my mom!) Rather than pluck the heck out of them, I'd like to tame them. I swear I saw a product advertised a few years ago that is like a clear mascara wand for brows. Anyone heard of/have such an thing? ![]() |

Maybelline Great Lash comes in a clear formula that many people use on their brows. If you go to Ulta, lots of lines make brow gels, waxes, etc. But it sounds like you should be trimming them as well. I just bought the Tweezerman brow scissors and it makes a huge difference. Use the spoolie to brush up, trim the excess. Repeat with brushing them down.

I've seen clear mascara. I have heard of people using it on brows.
I call those wirey, David Letterman-esque (my rogue ones are oddly beachy-blonde, like Letterman's hair) eyebrows 'Andy Rooney' brows.
I have to pluck them because they don't match anything on my face, and they're long.

A spoolie is basically a clean dry mascara brush - they sell them with handles like brushes for eyebrow grooming.

I have the opposite problem. My eyebrows are thining as I get older. But when I was younger and had thicker brows I used clear mascara to tame them. Worked like a charm. I am reluctantly thinking of using a brow pencil.

I thought you meant errant eyebrow hairs that have migrated to your chin. That seems to be my problem. For the super thick wiry eyebrow hairs, I just snip them. I've accidentally left gaps when plucking, so I'm afraid of doing that now.

I use either a brow pencil which has a wax 'pencil' at the other end of lash mascara which fills in a few sparser areas and holds them in place.
I do also trim long ones - I don't want the brows to lose volume so I don't pull them out but I don't want them hanging down or sticking out.

Are we talking FLDS woman uni-brow? Or just an occasional straggler?  |

Definitely not a uni-brow. Got rid of that in the 8th grade.![]() More like a few stragglers.

Anastasia makes a great brow tamer as well. I bet YouTube has some good tips!!! |

I use the clear mascara on my eye brows. I know exactly what you mean about the straggler. I will either pluck it or cut it to be the same length as the others. Explain to me how I can have my eyebrows waxed/trimmed and one month later I have this one eye brow lash in the same spot that grows twice as long as the others??

Question for those using clear mascara - doesn't it look too glossy? I'm guessing not or you wouldn't keep using it but....that's what I always think of and imagine it looks like.

I got some light brown mascara for my eyebrows to match my hair. It looks good and fills out what has been lost to waxing over the years.

I have mine waxed at a salon and she always uses some type of scissors to trim the long curly unruly ones,
