Are Your Eyebrows Aging You?

Crow’s feet, age spots, and silvery strands at your temples may be a long way off for you, but your eyebrows could be signaling an older face than you realize. Here are three ways your eyebrows could be aging you, and some tips for maintaining youthful brows.

Patchy/Sparse Brows 

As we age, so do our brows. They begin to thin and become patchy. Hold on to youthful, full brows with the help of some trusty tools. Arm yourself with a brow powder like Urban Decay Brow Box to fill in those holes.

Super Thin Brows

It’s safe to say most of us have gotten a little overzealous with the tweezers and wound up with brows that look like tadpoles. The tails of your brows offset the arch and are crucial in defining the brows and your eyes, so that “disappearing tail” act can make your eyes look droopy and tired. Avoid this by investing in an eyebrow pencil that’ll lengthen and shape those tails perfectly. Try a three-in-one product like L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Custom Brow Shaping Pencil that will fill, shape and define your brows in seconds.

Shades of Gray

Gray hairs come with no warning and aren’t confined to the tops of our heads. If your brows start to turn gray or white, camouflage them with a tinted brow gel like Maybelline EyeStudio Brow Drama.
