I was pretty bored earlier so I thought “hm I wonder what I would look like with thicker eyebrows.” Mind you, I’ve never touched makeup in my life. I know next to nothing about it. I found a stick that said “CoverGirl easy breezy eyebrow” and then put some on my eyebrows. I said “cool” and then tried to get it off.

The problem is that it would not come off. How the hell do I get this stuff off? Preferably with common household stuff. Help.

Edit: Found some makeup wipes, put too much oil, now my face is covered in olive oil. Accidentally rubbed too hard and got out patches of my eyebrows, but the makeup is finally out. RIP. Thank for y’all’s help.

    Makeup wipes are crucial. If it’s an emergency you can use Vaseline to help get it off. Old School is soap and water but trying to get the makeup off just once like that rubbed my skin raw.

    Make up wipes or creams are ideal.

    Big thing is that these are not water-based and require a little bit of solvent help get along. One of the safest things to try would probably be a little bit of olive oil.

    I don’t know, but looking like Imoto would be kinda cool I think:

    Also is there a way that I can actually get my eyebrows thicker naturally without that weird makeup stuff

      For future reference, in a pinch, any sort of alcohol will usually help dissolve makeup. I often use hand sanitizer and q tips if I need to remove stray smudges of eyeliner if I get it all over the place. This also helps if your skin is super oil sensitive like mine.

      There is unfortunately no way to make your hair thicker, but you could try making them a bit darker for a similar effect. Just go light with it, if you go too heavy you risk caking your brows.

        Do you have a specific product that you can recommend that I can find at someplace like Walmart? My eyebrows are blonde

          E.l.f. brand is inexpensive but good quality and consistent, and is available at most Walmart locations as well as most retail pharmacies. I use them a lot because they have colors that work for me and they are very good on sensitive skin and hair. You would be looking for either a brow mascara or a brow lift pencil, and you can check color varieties on their website.

          Unfortunately I can’t guarantee what colors will be at any particular store, since they tend to order what is popular, but you could also order from the company directly for the same price as in store.

              Hmm, that is a question that more relies on your particular hair color and skin tone.

              What you could try first is a clear brow and lash mascara, which has no color but lengthens/widens the look of the hair you already have. Unless you way overdo it, it should blend pretty well.

              Otherwise, I would just pick the closest color match and try it out. E.l.f is not pricey, and they routinely have sales, so it will only cost $2-3 to try an item out. If you like it, it will last a long time, so you are getting a great deal, but if you don’t, then it isn’t a huge waste.

              Other than that, I would recommend just starting with a small amount, and only do it on one ‘side’ of your brow at a time. In other words, only use the makeup on the top or bottom of the brow, not both. Which one would work better for you depends on your style and the look you are going for. You can also use a makeup brush, small comb or q tip to ‘brush’ your brows immediately after applying to help de-clump the individual hairs in your brows.

              I know that all of this sounds very vague, but it really is a trial and error process to figure out what works for you. Following tutorials can help for general styling tips, but everyone’s face and hair is different, so what works for one person may not work for you.

    Do you have any olive/cooking/etc oil laying about? A lot of makeup is oil based so should at least partially come off with that, especially if you apply it to some type of towel/wipe/cotton ball first (could even use toilet paper in a pinch but I don’t recommend it if you can avoid). Apply sparingly enough that it doesn’t drip or anything, and definitely test it in a small area first to make sure it has the desired results!
