Mine too. I also have female pattern brow baldness so I need brow implants. I do use the Anastasia brow grow stuff and the NYX one too and it has helped even them out at lot.

^^^^which one would you recommend? Nyx or Anastasia?

They both work equally well. The NYX if you get it at 40% off from Ulta.

I'm all over the gelcreme - will probably get a few of those. I wonder if it's like Makeup For Ever's eyebrow gel. I love that stuff, but the tube is inconvenient to me. I always end up squeezing out too little, or too much, plus having to have something to squeeze it onto. I rarely reach for it these days. I use embark for my brows and have plenty of other variations of brown eye shadow so I don't see myself buying the duo. I'll probably get the pencil too.
I recently bought Brun as a single e/s for my brows. I quite like it. (Before that, I was using UD Backdoor from the Smoked palette. Also a good colour for my brows. Brun is just a smidge lighter.) For a while I didn't do much of anything to my brows. In the last year I started trimming the length and doing clean-up underneath and a bit above. I cleaned up on top a little too much, in hindsight, which is why I had to start filling them in -- mainly in the tail. I'll be interested to see swatches of the brow Fluidlines.

I like the sounds of the new Gelcreme and Pencils.. especially the pencils!

OMG!!! That Fluidline Brow Gelcreme sounds amazing. I hope it's kinda similar to MUFE Aqua brow, which I use right now and looooove it but a pot seems easier to use. I hope they'll have a similar color than Aqua brow #25.
I will probably get a Veluxe Brow Liner too, if it's a pencil.

Sounds like the UD brow pencil thingies--Brow Beaters? or something like that, which I love, but hate the color selection.

I also love Fling for the perfectly natural brow. It's hard to overdo Fling, especially as the color is quite taupey and light.

i love adding powder to define my brows. however i am not a fan when its over done and looks like "sharpie brows". it drives me crazy

I tried the penultimate again today with a LIGHT hand and it was way better. I still prefer a twist up pencil like Fling if I can find one. I am really, really hoping we get soemthing like that in this collection. I am interested to try the fluidline thingie as well, but I love the travelling ease of the twist up pencil--no sharpening or drying out...

Most likely, I'll just stick to Fling.

I'm interested in the brow stuff. I never used pencil or shadow on my brows until the past few years. Back in the 60s and 70s i went for a 1920s / 30s inspired look with very fine eyebrows - i didn't need to pluck them very much, they were never heavy. But now that i'm oooooold, i actually have a bit of a bare patch in my left brow where i never plucked.
I have dark brown hair, but i do not like true brown on my brows at all, much too heavy and hard looking, just as i don't wear black eye liner for the same reason. So i was using an old eyebrow pencil from Origins i bought back in the 1990s, Beechwood 04, a medium taupe brown in a natural wood pencil - something they don't make anymore.
Then i had my face done at my local MAC one day when they were pretty empty. The MUA was much too tame in her use of colors on me, in my opinion -- i am not conservative, i'm sure you've all guessed -- so it was rather disappointing. But she did turn me on to Omega (medium taupe matte eyeshadow) on my brows, and it looks very nice. I got a really cheap, somewhat crappy, e.l.f. flat angle brush for my brows and it works fine for my brows. I know a MAC brush would be much better, but, hey, the e.l.f. brush was only $2.
So i'm excited about several of the upcoming products.
Veluxe Brow Liner
* Strawberry Blonde – Soft muted beige-taupe (perm)
* Redhead – Soft brown (perm)
* Brunette – Muted mid-tone grey (perm)
I'll need to test to see which one works for me.
Fluidline Brow Gelcreme
* Dirty Blonde - Soft taupe brown
And i'll check out these eyeshadows from two of the Duos:
Soba – Golden brown with gold shimmer (Satin)
and
Coquette – Muted greyish taupe (Satin)
because i don't really need the Duos. I'll check to see if they're perm e/s.
I just texted my daughter in Philadelphia, and she's ok, didn't lose power and her basement didn't flood. I hope other Specktralites out East are OK.
