I used to be a fanatic about keeping my eye brows plucked. I'd see older women and their eye brows growing in and looking like cactus spines, and I'd think, "Why don't they pluck their eyebrows?" Now I know. If I put on my glasses, I can't see my eyebrows. I could use a magnifying mirror but that is just too scary, so I just pretend that since I can't see them....no one else can either.

My hair salon recommends brow powder, but I don't like it because on me it always ends up looking like.....brow powder. My favorite product has been Avon's Luxury Brow Liner in Blonde. But recently I've been having fun with a product I found at Dollartree: the Elf Eyebrow Kit.

It contains two little pans: one with a clay-like brown substances you can put on a stiff brush, and the other a lighter brown powder. After trying it once, I gave up on the powder. I brush the first stuff on my brows, and it clings to the hairs, darkening them. I finish with a little of the Avon pencil. It's the best look I've achieved in awhile--and the price was certainly right.

I do use a magnifying mirror to go after stray hairs. I've learned that if you sit really close, you can't see your whole face at once, so it is less scary.
