I believe that one of the very first signals of someone aging can be your eyebrows fading.
The eyebrows, they just disappear. Right? They thin out, the depth of color of the hairs seems to fade and the density of your eyebrow hairs diminishes as well.
But I truly believe this. Your eyebrows are the single most important feature on your face.
One Simple Product
By adding just a little definition to your eyebrows and nothing else, you can truly look younger instantly.
So you just need one simple product for this.
My go-to these days is my trusty Anastasia Beverly Hills eyebrow whizz in Taupe, and I also like The Blonde for my “more no makeuppy” days.
I just draw on the entire outer half because thats almost disappeared entirely.
I just simply feather on little baby feathery strokes that imitate the hairs. The hairs I draw on are a little thicker than real eyebrow hairs, so obviously they’re slightly more pronounced.
I get some semblance of a brow on where it once was and where it should go, and then I love to flip the end of the pencil and I gently brush it through with that little mascara wand.
So you just brush them through and then voila – your face has definition and you are ready for business.
Now, if you happen to partner this with having white or silver-gray hair, I’ve got good news for you.
You are the height of fashion these days.
Yes, silver is the new black!
But seriously, here is my homework for you. Yes, you have some recommended reading to do.
And if you have no clue about what pencil shade you need to use, because, well, you can’t draw white eyebrows on, (or maybe you can, maybe we can create a new TikTok thing, like a trendy, viral video that we put proper white silver eyebrows on). I bet it’s been done.
I wanted to share with you this post I specifically put together to help you work out the best shades for you to look for and the best individual eyebrow pencils that will go with your silver hair or your white hair.
So please do check it out if you struggle with that stuff. I know it’s easy to feel clueless and not know where to start, so hopefully my post will help you. I
‘ll link to it in the show notes. You can find out all the good stuff there.
And remember, it’s never too late to get those brows back.

Episode Transcript
The very first sign that I started to see on not only my own but my husband’s. And the more that I’m aware of it, I see it everywhere. The very first sign of someone aging. It’s like when you decide to buy a new car and you can’t stop seeing those cars all over the road and then you decide that everyone has your car,
but as your eyebrows are fading, yes, it’s the eyebrows, they just disappear. Right? As your eyebrows are fading, they thin out, the depth of color of the hairs seems to fade and the density of your eyebrow hairs diminishes as well. If you are nodding your head in agreement and saying, Karen, this is me. How do you know me so well?
Well, I have this to say to you my friend. Your eyebrows are the single most important feature on your face. And by adding just a little definition to them and nothing else, you can truly look younger instantly. This is Five Minute Face Talk. I’m Karen, and I’ve been a film and TV makeup artist for over 25 years now. An inside five minute Face Talk,
I’ll share the cream of the crop makeup and skincare products, techniques, top tips, and no-no, and hopefully a giggle or two all in bite-sized episodes to help you look and feel fab because life’s too short for YouTube videos. So you just need one simple product for this. My go-to these days is my trusty Anastasia Beverly Hills eyebrow whizz in Tor, and I also like The Blonde for my More No Makeupy days.
And my Own style pretty much involves just drawing on the entire out half because they’ve almost disappeared entirely. And maybe one day, I don’t know, they’ll probably come walking out of some alien craft, like the kids at the end of close encounters acting all vague and lost and confused because they quietly quit their day job on my face the second I turned 40.
Well, that’s how it feels, you know, the little traitors. So getting back to my technique, I just simply feather on little baby feathery strokes that imitate the hairs. And although they’re thicker, obviously slightly more pronounced than real hairs, I can’t really see them up close without a drying magnifying glass either. ’cause my eyesight’s starting to go as well.
It’s up in that space ship with the brow hairs, isn’t it? Anyway, so I get some semblance of a brow on where it once was and where it should go, and then I love to flip the end of the pencil and I gently brush it through with that little mascara wand and well, you guys call it a spey here in the us,
But I still struggle with that word for some reason. It’s, I don’t know, it’s just hard for me to say. So you just brush ’em through and then voila like that your face has got definition and you are ready for business. Now, if you happen to partner this with having white or silver, gray hair, I’ve got good news for you.
You are the height of fashion these days. Yes, silver is the new black, right? Do people still say that? But now I’m trying in all seriousness to give you some homework and this is gonna be my recommended reading for you. And if you have no clue about what pencil shade you need to use, because, well, you can’t draw white eyebrows on,
or maybe you can, maybe we can create a new TikTok thing, like a trendy, viral video that we put proper white silver eyebrows on. I bet it’s been done. I bet they’ve done it already, but oh my gosh, I’m getting so distracted ’cause I love talking about eyebrows. I, I really do. I think they make such a difference.
But I just, I wanted to quickly share with you this post I specifically put together to help you work out the best shades for you to look for and the best individual eyebrow pencils that will go with your silver hair or your white hair. So please do check it out if you struggle with that stuff. I know it’s easy to feel clueless and not know where to start,
so hopefully my post will help you. I’ll link to it in the show notes. You can find out all the good stuff there. Okay, that’s it. I’m sorry I waffled on today. I’ll see you next time. And remember, it’s never too late to get those brows back.
