Mona Lisa has no visible facial hair—including eyebrows and eyelashes. Some researchers claim that it was common at this time for genteel women to pluck them out, since they were considered to be unsightly.
Dear old Mona and I have something in common, no eyebrows! The few hairs that have grown are curly and wiry. I look like one of those old men in cartoons.
From what I have read many women who had taxil did not get the eyebrows back or they came in sparse.
If I had any talent at drawing them on this would not be a problem because I rather like the look of a well drawn brow. The product I have (from ShadowBox) is nice and easy to use.
However, I normally have one brow going north the other south.
My niece Sarah gave me a great suggestion today. Her friend had her brows done with henna. She says the application lasted a long time and you can have them applied lightly and use this as a template to apply your eyebrow pencil.
I am going to find a salon where I can get this procedure done... keep you posted.

  1. Hi glad to see that you are feeling not too bad. I wanted to tell you that I was in Walmart the other day looking at eyebrow pencils (mine are shrinking? and don't go far enough on the end) and I saw a product hanging up that is a template to draw perfect brows. It was in the area where they sell all the eye products (tweezers, etc.) Might be worth looking at. Take care - it would be so nice for all of us to get together! love Brenda

  2. I like the henna idea. less permanent than a tattoo.
