Eyebrow wigs exist and they're not as ridiculous as they might sound
If you're not naturally blessed with full brows, you've probably tried all kinds of crazy thing to stimulate some bushy growth. Especially when you see trends like the lion mane brow taking over your feed.
Perhaps you've tried covering them in Vaseline? Slathering them in coconut oil? Or layered them with onion juice? (Yes really, people do this.)
But turns out there was no reason for you to go around smelling like a sweet stir-fry because eyebrow wigs are here for your hairy needs.
Originally designed with alopecia, trichotillomania, cancer patients and burn victims in mind, these tiny, reusable and shaped strips of hair adhere to the skin for a faux brow, that looks damn realistic.
Final Touch Brows, the brand tried and tested by Jeffree Star, has a selection of five different shades, with thicker 'men' designs available, too.
These ones, in particular, are handmade with real human hair to look as realistic as possible. The hairs are attached to a clear 'skin-like' base, which you stick onto the skin using an adhesive and can be left on for up to 7 days(!!).
The brow wigs are then removed using an 'Adhesive Remover' which breaks down the adhesive and removes any residue from the skin and the wigs, because yes, you can use those bad boys again and again. Up to three months in fact.
The only downside is these particular ones are best used on brows with very little to no hair. So if you have a decent brow that you're just looking to bulk out, these may not work for you. They have to adhere to the skin after all and may not look so realistic if you're piling a faux brow on top of a real one.
You'll have to stick to our top eyebrow filling picks instead...
