    Hi gabrielle,
    tgcosmetics.com do eyebrow makeup. it's a type of plastic that gets malleable when you warm it in your hands, then you use it to cover your brows, add sealer and then you powder them and draw on brows.
    I've bought it, but I have fairly thick brows and have never successfully covered them properly. I think I might buy a beard trimmer to cut back my brows a bit and try again.
    heres a link to instructions on how to use the makeup:

    I wouldn't recommend waxing, as it debilitates the eyebrows muscles and they loose tenderness over time. It's best to pluck and if you're part-time it helps to do it gradually until you find the best compromise between M and F looks.

    Hi Gabrielle!
    I have the same problem as you.
    You might try back-coming your eyebrows then cutting them over the comb with a sharp pair of scissors, but be careful not to cut to thickly.
    Alternatively you could cover with a comb and use your razor to thin them out. My barber does this for me when I have a haircut.
    Hope this helps hon!
    Hugs xx

    I have never tried it but there are two videos on how to cover up your eyebrows on youtube that you might find helpful.

    Start plucking. ...If you start doing small & thin them out over a long period of time people that see you everyday won't notice. But if you do a lot everyone will.
    Mine are so lite & thin I have to darken them when I dress.
    I've never plucked one. The rest of me is so hairy it's gross.

    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
