I do have a love-hate relationship with them, on some days I love the fact that they're strong, on other days I'm just too lazy to pluck them and they resemble a jungle.
To be honest I would definitely have a monobrow if I wouldn't pluck them every other day. They're very thick and I struggled with plucking them without overdoing it for quite a while. I'm not doing a tutorial on how to pluck eyebrows, I guess there are enough available on the internet.
Now I know that my tweezers aren't enough to get a nice shape, I also use scissors every now and then to trim them into the shape I want. This may sound strange but somehow my eyebrow hair can grow a little too long so I need to do something about that. Before I trim them I brush them through with a brow brush, then I remove whatever I think is too much.
When it comes to makeup I used powder for a very long time to fill in gaps. My main problem was that I couldn't find a brow pencil which was dark enough but not black because that would look really harsh.
Not too long ago I discovered the KIKO Precision Eyebrow Pencil. The colour 01 is perfect for me, it's a grayish black.
What I like about this product is that it comes with a comb which does a good job and there's a sharpener included in the set as well. The pencil itself isn't extremely fine but it's ok to do my brows. I usually only use it to define the arch of my brow anyway because I don't have a lot of gaps. The lasting power is good, it even survives a hot day without melting off my face.

As a finish I spray some hairspray onto a cheap brow brush and brush them through to make them stay in place. My brows do have a mind of their own, they're quite stubborn when it comes to staying where I want them to stay. I might need to invest in a good brow gel, any recommendations?
Well, this is it. You're familiar with my eyebrows now. Which is kind of strange but there might be other people on this planet suffering from stubborn eyebrows and I'm glad if this helped anyone. If you have naughty brows and want to share your secret (or not so secret) tips, please leave a comment.
Love,
Cheryl
