Hello coscom forums! I've seen november.eyes's eyebrow coloring tutorial, but to my irritation and annoyance, it didn't work for me. It looked way awkward and I couldn't get the color right. I'm not dissing it or anything (it's a great tut, make sure you check it out), I just couldn't get it to save my life. So when I at the mall one time, me and my friends swung into Hot Topic, and low and behold, I saw eyeshadow that matched my Nel wig on the shelf and thought, "The hell with it" and gave it a go.

Much to my pleasure, it works, haha. After being prompted by a friend to post it, I just thought I'd share it so you can all get those funky colored anime eyebrows!

-------

Materials!

- elmer's school liquid glue that dries clear ;3 haven't tried using glue sticks, but that may work too

- q-tips~ use them to apply the eyeshadow and glue! i recommend getting some with really fine tips for accurateness but it's okay if you can't get them

- eyeshadow! i use Hot Topic's baked eyeshadow, it's SUPER intense! I haven't used any other brands, if they work tell me :3

-----

step 1:

apply the glue with a q-tip for the less messy results. Just one layer should be fine. drying time is around i think minutes, but i just go by whenever my eyebrows are hard. also! apply the glue going "with" the direction of your eyebrow lashes. it'll be harder and look yuck if your eyebrows are all mussed up.

----

step 2:

eyeshadow time! loooooad it up on another q-tip--i usually make indents in my eyeliner from how hard i press. this is where the fine point q-tip would be handy since it's easier to be more precise. try to do your best while applying it.

-----

step 3:

do the same thing to your other eyebrow ^^ (dorky expression ftw)

-----

step 4:

put on your wig! that's really there is all to it haha! super easy :3 just don't rub your head with the back of your hand or else it'll smear lol.

Q & A

Where did you get your wig O:
- ebay. where I get everything lol.

Where'd you get the eyeshadow @_______@
- Hot Topic.

Your shirts changed...
- IT WAS MAGIC.

How long does it last?
- For me, it lasts all day at a con ^^ and even overnight when I forgot to take it off once...XD

How does it come off?
- usually I peel off the glue (which gets off a good majority of the eyeshadow) and then wash my face afterwards.

Where's your Nelliel mask?
- Downstairs lol. Too lazy to get it dohoho

I too have tried november.eyes' tutorial and didn't get a result I liked. Instead I normally just put eyeshadow or eyeliner. But this technique seems to work really well, and I shall try it out sometime!
Thank you for sharing!

HylianDragoness, thank you so much for this tutorial!

Tomorrow, I'm headed to New York Anime Festival dressed as Hatsune Miku from Vocaloid. I've been searching for a cheap eyebrow coloring tutorial forever, and yours was perfect! I just thought I'd show you the results of your genius.

P.S - A great tip on removing the "Elmer's Glue Eyebrows" is to take a damp, warm washcloth and gently wipe them off. This gets off basically all of the shadow and glue. A quick face-rinsing will take off any residue that may be bugging you.

[HylianDragoness]

You're so welcome everyone! I hope you can all put it to good use c:

and air, i'm so happy it worked out to your liking~! <3 (you make an uber adorable miku btw ;w; )

OMG THANKS!! this will totally help me!

[lawz]

awesome
Could I mix the eyeshadow with hair gel instead of using glue? I'm too wussy to pull off the glue ^_^ thanks

[mogusq]

Thanks, it's a wonderful tutorial. Now I'll go put on some pink eyebrows.

[HylianDragoness]

@lawls: not sure if gel will work, but you can try it! though i wouldn't mix it, i'd wait for it to dry ^^ though i'm not against experimenting, lol. and the glue seriously doesn't hurt at all imo!

@mogusq: no problem and thank you! i hope they turn out!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
This worked PERFECTLY! The blue eyeliner didn't work, but this? THIS WORKED!

if you don't like the idea of having glue on your eyebrows you can also use hairspray. that's what i use sometimes, or sometimes i just put on the eyeshadow directly. it comes off with makeup remover. i use the garnier wipes.
