eyebrowz.com?

That site looks sketchy...but if you are looking for eyebrow makeup - Benefit Brow Zings has changed my life. My eyebrows look amazing, if I do say so myself...and after years of over-plucking!

haha that is hilarious! but so true. i am always suspicious of stores that use "z" instead of "s."

my eyebrows are a wreck so i think i'm going to go to a waxer to the stars or something, just to get them on the right track.

the whole "z" thing makes them look sketchy to me too. i hate all kinds of alternative spelling, like "lite" and "kwik." oh, i hate "kwik"!

what is it your brows need help with? one of my weird tendencies is i really, really enjoy eyebrow maintenance. if you're looking for help with shaping, which that site seems to be about, i don't think you need to get a stencil -- and also, the stencils seem kind of generic to me, and wouldn't take into account the vagaries of your eyes, nose, and proximity of brows to both. just get a white pencil and slowly "shape" your brows that way, covering up hairs you think you'd pluck and then stepping back from the mirror to see how it looks. i am a big fan of tweezerman tweezers, so i'd recommend using those. after the shaping, then you can get to plucking -- but go slowly and carefully as you don't want to overpluck. and then afterwards, use small scissors for some trimming at the ends.

Oh just looking at the first few pics on that link make me think its something I could easily screw up and I would rather go to a waxer and get something like eyebrow wax to use everyday with my makeup.

i haven't ordered from the site, but i found & bought their stencils from a local drugstore. they're pretty good & a set of 5 stencils was about $5. i know a few people who've ordered & had success w/them. LMK if you need help.

hmmm. i think i'll follow my instincts and apprehensions about thingz spelled with a z and will just stick with the pros, but i'll keep an eyeout for those drugstore cutout thingies. thanks for the tips, ladies.
