After finishing chemotherapy and radiation treatment 12 months ago, my eyebrows are very thin and patchy still.Just wondering if anyone has gone down the path of having their eyebrows tattooed? If so any recommendations ?Thanks in Advance

I had mine tattooed and very pleased. Research and ask for actual pictures of their work before doing.

I haven't but I do colour them and occasionally get it done professionally. Rather than pencilling in the gappy bits, I now use a powder that I got from the eyebrow place.

Yes - I use 1000 Hours at home but go to a place in Tea Tree Plaza every now and then to get them shaped and tinted professionally. I've always been a bit wary of the tattooing - if it's done well, it looks great, but too many end up with weird caterpillars over their eyes.

If you’re not sure about tattooing there is some good new eyebrow makeup that can provide a temporary look - they are much better than the eyebrow pencils of old to use and the colours are much more subtle as it seems eyebrows are ‘in‘ atm. I bought a product at Woolies called More Brows which I like and was reasonably priced - doubtless the department stores have more in popular brands Maybe a consult with a department store makeup artist might be useful?

@Shellshocked2018_ I have the same issue and recently bought and used Refectocil eyebrow dye to use at home. It's cheap and I liked the idea you can put the amount you want on rather than having it done professionally and maybe being too heavy. My eyebrows are pretty light to start with. It was easy and I was really pleased with the result. So good not having to think about it on a daily basis.I went quite light and used the light brown first and it has faded quite quickly, in the last couple of weeks, but I will be more confident next time. It takes minutes to do and you would get lots of uses from a tube. I bought mine from beautopia and they had great service.
