No, I am too busy with the recovery from my accident and don't feel the energy for this (yet).

Aww...thanks, Ashley! I was a little disappointed with how it came out. I'm thinking I might go with the second one now like you said, because you can see the makeup a little better in that one!

I tried this the other day. I had a hard time finding anyplace that has the theatrical supplies. and I didn't have suitable time to do mail order. I was looking for modeling wax or nose putty to block out my eyebrows, but found neither. After reading threads on theater bulleting boards I don't know how effective they would be for photos as opposed to a stage performer.

What i ended up getting was moustache wax at a local CVS. It works real well keeping those hairs in place. I put some concealer over it and then it works for about 5 minutes! Then it cracks and looks like crap. I guess that's what the eyebrow plastic is all about.

I tried a few other options as well. clear mascara over the brows followed by pressed powder. Each gave a less than desirable result. I eventually just went over the brow line with pink liner pencil. Not the result i was going for.

I might try to get a few of the better pics uploaded later. I spent so much time messing with the brows I actually didn't get to fully do the eyes (no fake lashes or even mascara) so its lacking but some other things seemed to be working ok.

But i got a question. I was trying to really make heavy use of this black liquid liner (covergirl) but when i try to blend it, instead of black it looks dark blue. Is this just a crappy product or do they all do that?

Liquid liner is intended to create more of a sharp line than a smudged look. If you smudge it, it will become sheerer, possibly looking blue or grey.

What I would recommend if you want a smudged liner with liquid liner, is to apply the liquid liner as usual, then apply a black eyeshadow on top of it, blending the eyeshadow out. That will give a smudged effect while still remaining dark black. hth!

I'd love for you to enter, btw!

Hi All! I'm a newbie to this forum and this thread caught my eye. I have a suggestion that may help a few of you. I recently attended a reverse drag party where J-star was my inspiration for make-up and I had to figure out how to cover up my eyebrows. It was a long process of trial and error and a failed trip to Sephora (I had three make-up specialists on me and they couldn't even do it). What I found that works the best without spending very much money at all is glue stick.

I thinned my eyebrows out some first since I had thicker ones. Then glue them down pressing hard with the glue stick. Let the first coat dry then add a few more layers until all of the eyebrow is filled in and lying flat. I then went over it with my max factor pan stick. Dermablend or some other thick concealer would work really well here to. The key with the glue is not to wipe any make up on over it dab everything and it won't move once it's covered. Then just draw on your new high-arches. Mine lasted all night and the glue stick comes off really easily with some eye-makeup remover and face wash.

Since I'm new I can't post pictures so you'll just have to trust me.

The glue stick sounds like a great idea!

Holy crap, I took the pics outside and it had just rained! It was so hot an humid, it was unbearable! Ack!

I wish that I had that glue stick and I should have known that since I also had problems with the eyebrows. I seriously tried to cover them up with everything but it was extremely difficult because you could still see the dark color that my eyebrows had. Finally I just colored them over with the pink lipstick. Despite the problems I had I think that it was a really good result actually.
