Can you buy eyebrow dye ? I used to be blonde till i was about 12, then it all went brown but my eyebrows have stayed blonde and even with a shaved head they look a bit weird. Was wondering if they'd look a bit better if i dyed them darker.

Careful not to dye your skin! Though it will come off wih scrubbing if you do. But I use either a cotton bud or the end of a hair grip and apply a little at a time. I find the applicator with it is not quite the right shape.
It only takes between 5-10 mins to take.

But at home, I also do my own nails, my own tinting, waxing, and I dye my own hair (unless mum's willing to pay for me to have it done at the hairdressers). My friend cuts my hair in salon, because she's an apprentace and I just go when she needs me
I do my own plucking eyebrows/lip, manicures, bikini, pedicures, hair dyeing.
I have my legs waxed and hair cut professionally.
Get them to do your eyelashes blue black. If you normally wear black mascara it means there's no need what so ever for it, they come out lovely and dark. There's normal black too, but it's nowhere near as dramatic. I love having my eyelashes tinted/permed. Might see if I can book in for them tomorrow actually
I may try a perm to see that though, so reduce having to wear mascara
A couple of girls I know do that, suppose it depends on your lashes. I hate mascara with a passion though
Everything else- myself
Hair dye (well my mam does it for me)
Eyelash dying (been a while since I did it, I need to get some more dye.

i do everything else myself - fake tan, shaving, eyebrows. i have naturally strong healthy nails so i just keep them filed with clear nail varnish.
im gona have a go at eyebrow/eyelash tinting though! never thought about it before.
Me: I paint my own nails!!
Thats what I do when mine are (properly) tinted, and I want them to look longer.
Nails are always done (not always looking great, just always done) I've yet to find a polish that doesn't chip the first time I take a shower. :mad:
My nails are my babies.
I wax myslef, eyebrows and naughty, have for probably 6 years now, used to get the eyebrows done back in the day but for $10 a pop when I can do it myself for $10 a year.
I do everything myself except cutting my hair.
how do you do this. Me and girl mates were talkin about it today - i dont really think its right for now might try it in future but for now am thinking of doing it myself - how do you do it? (wax/veet stuff - and what brand are good?)
Salon:
Hair cut
me:
nails
Pluck eyebrows
shave
and err everything else
If you want to do it, just put the wax on, stick on a strip and there's no turning back Once you get it on theres only one way its coming back off; it doesn't matter if you go slow or not, the hair shall follow. (at least with my wax, others may be weaker) Though, like a bandaid, fast is the way to do it.
I also get my hair done by a salon although soon to be mobile hairdressed.
Everything else i do myself.
