Just a suggestion: Thinning brows on the outer section is a sign of hypothyroidism. Perhaps check out your thyroid, especially if you tend to run a lower than average body temperature.
I’ve always thought you have perfect eyebrows, they suit your face. Mine are definitely thinning but more so my bottom eyelashes- I don’t wear much make up but when I do I can longer put mascara on the bottom as it makes them look worse. I will definitely try your recommendation. Thanks
I saw the headline and practically shrieked aloud. You are in my head, lol.
I have always had Brooke Shields-ish brows (people used to try to get me to tweeze them) but I liked them the way they were. And I didn't want to be bothered with tweezing. But now that I am in my mid-50s, they are thinning. A lot. Dear menopause, IS NOTHING SACRED?
So THANK YOU for this post. I love The Ordinary and I am heading to their website as soon as I finish this comment.
I've been seeing Kristie Streicher for a decade and a half (long before she and her sisters started Striiike), and she has salvaged my (nearly invisible, over-plucked in the '90's) brows as well as anyone ever could. Her products are awesome--she is all about the health of the skin and hair follicles. The gel has a subtle tint and a bit of growth serum; likewise the pen. Gentle and easy to use, even for anyone (like me) who is makeup illiterate: https://theksandco.com/products/the-complete-nurtured-brow
Your brows look great!! I agree with you on not doing the tattoo brows. My niece had that done and has the stained orange color now too. I am 66 yrs young & I say a little shaping & light color if needed makes the brows perfect. Yours look Great! I am sure Graham agrees!!! 🤗
I’d never have guessed this from your photos Garance. They always look natural to me. You can try organic castor oil on your brows and eyelashes - a little swipe with a tiny bit of oil in the evenings before bed. You have to be consistent but I think it works. X
When I found out that the menopause brought with it thinner brows I was incensed… what else? However my niece guided me to MAC eyeshadow and a good brush which looks great and lasts all day. I get my eyebrows threaded once a month and also dyed, it lasts a week and is perfect and in between I tidy up and use the eyeshadow.
I love that you use a brow pencil for the brush as that is exactly what I do as well and have used the same one for years-the pencil itself ran out years ago! I've tried other spoolies, or ones made exclusively to brush the brow but nope. haha Good heads up re. The Ordinary, too! :)
Funny you mentioned the brow serum. I have healthy eyebrows for the most part. But for some reason the tail end of my brows are sparse. I went to a brow specialist over the weekend... she 'laminated' my brows and told me to purchase the same serum you're using. I'd never heard of such a thing. But I'm using it so perhaps I'll have success too.

Never heard this before and I am hypothyroid!
It is in older books. My mother had this symptom so I remember it.

Nope. My hair got thinner… and now my beautiful long eyelashes just got shorter!

Thank you for the brow tips! Mine are definitely thinning ... bangs and glasses are a perfect cover up. Btw Your brows look great!

Ooh. I wouldn’t put even a little bit of oil that close to my eyeballs!
immediately bought this serum, hope you get a kickback

TY, good info and advice as I WAS considering tatoo-ing. I'm ordering from The Ordinary.
Ah, Garance, how you tease! Your wonderful brow pencil isn’t apparently available in the U.S. :(
Thanks for this.
Thanks so much for sharing! I clicked on the Zara link and a man is using it, it’s funny…why not?
