Hi Gabrielle-
Just to chime in (again) personally I prefer waxing at a salon, though there are home kits available. It hurts, but only for a minute and the more you do get it done, the less it seems to hurt. I try to go in about every ten days or so and get dethatched. Actually, I do tweeze at home to keep them at bay between visits but I have this not unfounded fear that I will compulsively keep at it trying to get them just right-or at least even-until they are all gone.
But to answer your original question, yes, you can actually cover them up completely (not remove them, just cover them) and then draw new brows however and wherever you want them. Lots of stage performers do it. It involves one of those water soluble glue sticks like school kids use and some powder. I've never tried it myself, but the photos I've seen make it look fairly easy, you just have to have a steady hand and I guess a bit of artistic ability to make the drawn on ones look right. Once your done it all washes off and your brows are the same as when you started.
Somewhere I have a page bookmarked with pix and so on of how to do it. Just have to figure out where I left it. If I can find it I'll post it.
Good luck, have fun.
Hugs...Joni
