I was pretty bored earlier so I thought “hm I wonder what I would look like with thicker eyebrows.” Mind you, I’ve never touched makeup in my life. I know next to nothing about it. I found a stick that said “CoverGirl easy breezy eyebrow” and then put some on my eyebrows. I said “cool” and then tried to get it off.

The problem is that it would not come off. How the hell do I get this stuff off? Preferably with common household stuff. Help.

Edit: Found some makeup wipes, put too much oil, now my face is covered in olive oil. Accidentally rubbed too hard and got out patches of my eyebrows, but the makeup is finally out. RIP. Thank for y’all’s help.

      E.l.f. brand is inexpensive but good quality and consistent, and is available at most Walmart locations as well as most retail pharmacies. I use them a lot because they have colors that work for me and they are very good on sensitive skin and hair. You would be looking for either a brow mascara or a brow lift pencil, and you can check color varieties on their website.

      Unfortunately I can’t guarantee what colors will be at any particular store, since they tend to order what is popular, but you could also order from the company directly for the same price as in store.

          Hmm, that is a question that more relies on your particular hair color and skin tone.

          What you could try first is a clear brow and lash mascara, which has no color but lengthens/widens the look of the hair you already have. Unless you way overdo it, it should blend pretty well.

          Otherwise, I would just pick the closest color match and try it out. E.l.f is not pricey, and they routinely have sales, so it will only cost $2-3 to try an item out. If you like it, it will last a long time, so you are getting a great deal, but if you don’t, then it isn’t a huge waste.

          Other than that, I would recommend just starting with a small amount, and only do it on one ‘side’ of your brow at a time. In other words, only use the makeup on the top or bottom of the brow, not both. Which one would work better for you depends on your style and the look you are going for. You can also use a makeup brush, small comb or q tip to ‘brush’ your brows immediately after applying to help de-clump the individual hairs in your brows.

          I know that all of this sounds very vague, but it really is a trial and error process to figure out what works for you. Following tutorials can help for general styling tips, but everyone’s face and hair is different, so what works for one person may not work for you.
