The surprising technique for fuller, thicker eyebrows

<p>Good eyebrows not only frame your face but make you appear more youthful. If you’re looking for an alternative to pencilling your brows every day to achieve fuller-looking brows, this treatment might be for you.</p> <p>For women with thin or patchy brows,<strong> <a href="http://www.realsimple.com/beauty-fashion/makeup/eyes/how-to-make-your-eyebrows-thicker?xid=soc_socialflow_facebook_realsimple">Real Simple</a></strong> recommends microblading. It’s a form of cosmetic tattooing that will leave you with natural-looking, semipermanent brows. Just take a look at these before and after photos:</p> <p><img width="499" height="303" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/28487/1_499x303.jpg" alt="1 (132)" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/></p> <p><img width="500" height="309" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/28488/2_500x309.jpg" alt="2 (136)" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/></p> <p>The publication spoke to New York City-based makeup artist and brow specialist, Piret Aava, to understand exactly how microblading works.</p> <p>“I use a manual, non-vibrating tool with 11 tiny needles at its tip to deposit cosmetic grade eyebrow dye and individual pigment under the skin—not as deep as a regular tattoo—to create hair-like strokes one by one,” she says.</p> <p>It’s a two-hour process that includes customising the shape, size, and colour before any work is done. The Real Simple tester reported that her brows were sore for a day following the treatment, but said she enjoyed waking up to fuller, younger looking brows long-term.</p> <p>Not such a fan of a permanent fix? Then try tinting your eyebrows. They’ll instantly thicken up greying brows and ensure your arches look fuller for at least three to four weeks. While tinting your brows requires regular trips to the salon for touch ups and re-tinting, it means you don’t have to fuss over them daily.</p> <p>Do you have any beauty secret to getting fuller-looking eyebrows?
