Question Does anyone else besides me do this?

I've been doing this for such a long time that I don't even recall when I first started.

I blot my mascara wand with a tissue and then very lightly run it over my eye brows. The reason I do this is because my eyebrows are much lighter than my hair and in doing this, they match - it looks natural because I use a light hand. It might sound weird to some, but after all these years, no one has ever said or commented on it. It looks totally natural.

Does anyone else do this? Or am I all alone

Not the eyebrows thingie, but I do blot my mascara (with a Bounty paper towel) before applying. I'm forever screaming, "Baby, bring me a paper towel, please!"

Re: Does anyone else besides me do this?

I used to do that before I found brow products.
It worked fine and I think some of the products marked for brows but that look like mascaras are just that.

Re: Does anyone else besides me do this?

I don't do this either because my eyebrow hairs are dark enough on their own. However I have heard of using clear mascara to keep your eyebrow hairs in place.

Re: Does anyone else besides me do this?

I used to do that with clear mascara, but as some of the others have said, my brows are pretty dark on their own.

Good for you though to improvise!

Re: Does anyone else besides me do this?

I don't do that, but rather use a product like mascara specifically for eyebrows. If you want to give it a whirl you can pick up one by IsaDora at Walgreen's. My brows are virtually invisible so I have to do something.

Re: Does anyone else besides me do this?

Amethyst, you are NOT alone! I do this too! Not everyday, but sometimes! And until I get off my butt and buy a product that's meant for my eyebrows, I guess I'll keep on doing it! lol!

No sorry, I don't do that. I don't like my brows, so I try not to draw attention to them

Re: Does anyone else besides me do this?

I do that also, I also do it to my facial hair when I want a "rafish/ rakish" look. I use brow pencils as well.

I used to do that, but now I don't have eyebrows (I draw them on). I do it to other people when I do their makeup though, sometimes, if their brows need more color/definition
