    I've used both the Mac and Dior eye brow pencils and find them both excellent. The Dior comes with a little brush on the end :)

    The MAC brow pencils have a small tip so you get better results (You can draw individual hairs on).

    You could also get someone to dye the lighter colour to match the rest although this is a more trickier option.

    I was just thinking I prefer the Mac because it's finer! My brows are on completely different levels to each other so I need to make one look higher, so the fine tip is good for that.

    yep the MAC pencils are the best. You cold also get your eyebrows tinted and ask the beautician to just tint the lighter parts so it will match in and then you wont have the hassle of using an eyebrow pencil everyday

    I use Benefit Brow zings and I find it great. It comes with two little brushes, one for slicking the brows in place with wax and the other is a shading brush to fill in any light patches. It also comes with a mini tweezers which is great for getting out those little hairs. I generally slick on a bit of Benefit speed brow on top to hold everything in place.
    Just be careful not to go too over the top with the eyebrow pencils/shading, I know a girl who is addicted to eyebrow pencils and it's like she used a large crayon on her brows. kinda freaky :) Not a good look OP lol.

    Hi

    MAC also do a great brow shadow (ie eyeshadow for your brows!), which is more natural looking than a pencil.

    Best bet is to get them to recommend the colour that suits you and advise on a brush - their brushes are quite expensive but you could get a good one for less in the Bodyshop.

    I use a Rimmel pencil which I love. Can't recommend a shade though as I have blonde eyebrows.

    Brow shadows are much better than pencils. Also I fine the MAC one lasts brilliantly.

    Me too, and they last forever and are inexpensive. I bought 5 the last time around as I am afraid they'll discontinue the colour or change the formula. :)

    I also have a little benefit thing that has tinted wax and brow shadow, It's quite good but I'm very lazy so I mostly stick to my Rimmel pencil
