Thinning of eyebrows after treatment
Hi everyone, I have come across a really good product that I have been using to fill in my eyebrows, which once I start Chemotherapy I will be using this product to put eyebrows on using one of the many stencils that they supply.
The product is called fab brows.
website is www.fabbrows.com
If you’re interested have a look, the product is smudge proof, waterproof, comes of with washing face or make up remover.
This will be my best friend once treatment starts.
Sending hugs to everyone 😘

- I had mine tattooed in a soft brown. Just as well as my very thin brows never all returned. I haven't gone for a hollywood brow...just a nice filled in look.
- Wunderbrow 2 is the bomb for chemobrows. Not the gel one, the fibre fillers. Use a little bit of pencil (some of the packs come with one depending on where you buy it) Lasts for ages and looks really natural. Absolutley loved it.
- One of the women I used to work with used to have eyebrow tattooing. She looked like the baby with John Howard eyebrows.
- @Patti J There is nothing to tint! 😆
- I have always had my eyelashes and eyebrows tinted professionally. Amazing difference.
- I gave up trying to make mine look good. I have a wedding to go to in February so might get someone else to do it for me. I can do normal make up and have actually taught my sisters how to apply it but the no eyebrow or eyelash thing is another dimension.
- @AllyJay It's not at all harsh or severe. I use a medium brown. As the ladies above say, never black. It just gently lengthens what you have, which covers the gaps a bit more. Sometimes I press hard and it leaves some brown smudging underneath. I use a Maybelline one & it doesn't clump. You'd never pick I was wearing it.
- One of the amusing side effects of chemo was using eye makeup I hadn't used in decades - eye liner, eyebrow pencil, shadow, even kohl. Anything to stop my eyes disappearing sans lashes, sans brows, sans everything. Got quite good at it but reverted to the quick flick of mascara when it all grew back. Use a bit more still for special occasions. But always brown, never black unless you want to look like a 50s B movie starlet!
- I kept my eyebrows on AC but they’re very sparse now on Taxol. Even though I learnt how to fill them in at the Look Good, Feel Better workshop I’m not usually a makeup wearer so feel less conspicuous without filling them in. Like @AllyJay I’m going with whatchersee is whatcherget 😊
- The trick with the pencil is to go for Browns not black and to use the lightest feathery strokes to build it up. Even then I had some interesting results when my eyebrows were AWOL
