Tutorial: Applying make-up on people with A lopecia/Hairloss to scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes.

If you have a lack of hairs on your eyebrows you could try an eyebrow pencil. Find an eyebrow or eyeliner pencil that is similar in colour to your hair/wig hair colour, failing this go lighter and not darker as this is likely to look more natural. The Body Shop do a good range of eyebrow pencils in a range of shades. Test the colour and definition of the pencil on the back of your hand, checking that it is easily applied without dragging the skin.

Sharpen the pencil so it is very fine. Draw in short soft lines where your eyebrow used to be to give the appearance of natural hair. Don't draw just one line. It is advisable to practice on the back of your hand to get the curve right, using little strokes to imitate eyebrow hairs. To some extent the less perfect the better.

When drawing the eyebrow, use the bone above the eye socket as a guide for the shape of the eyebrow.

Using hairspray over eyebrow pencil makes it last longer and will also make it more resistant to perspiration, and life in general.

There are some `24 hr eyebrow pencils available which are waterproof and last longer and are more smudge-proof than normal eyebrow pencil.

If eyebrow pencil does not suit you, you can buy fake eyebrows which come in a variety of colours, shapes and lengths. They are self adhesive, can last up to three days and are waterproof.

There are treatments which replace missing eyebrows with a method similar to a tattoo, called semi-permanent make-up. It is also called micropigmentation. It can normally look good for up to a year, when it can be partly refreshed or renewed.

Eyelashes
Fake eyelashes made of both synthetic and real hair are widely available on-line and in high street chemists. They can be quite tricky to apply to start with but can look very realistic with a bit of effort. With fake eyelashes try using eyeliner and mascara for a more realistic look. Start with simple eyelashes, dont go too over the top as they will look less natural.

If you feel uncomfortable with fake eyelashes but would like to draw more attention to your eyes, eye liner and eye shadow can both be used. It is best to avoid black and use medium brown. Use a fine line for definition. Wiping cotton buds over the line helps to take away the harshness.

I like this video, its very helpful for people who are going through Chemo. She looks lovely, except she should have used a lace front wig.

@HeitherSimon Sorry if I took it so long to reply with you. Anyway I got to say thank you!! Thank you for suggesting me that site HairLoss101. net.. My son Raymond has grown his hair voluminously.. I cannot believe the difference in his behavior at school now since he got his hair replacement.. This has made such an improvement in his self esteem.:))

[jeezouise]

That girl is gorgeous, but she needs a better wig and more natural looking lashes. They are available... I hope that she can find them someday! Great job with the makeup - I could have used this six years ago when I lost my eyebrows :)

[renjilovesmoi]

Omg he's a genius and she looks gorgeous

[katieisweird]

my aunt recently was diagnosed with breast cancer. and she is losing her hair fast! she has asked me to do her makeup. because very soon she wont have eyebrows or eyelashes as well has head hair. so i've been looking on ways to go her eyebrows and this video helped very much. thanks =)

[TheLadyoflace]

Very nice transformation. I agree that model should look into our lace wigs also for a more natural hair look. Due to our baldness we sometimes forget where our hairline starts and put our wigs on too low.

[gabbielovesyou1]

wow this really helps me i have the same as her and this really helps me thank you xoxxoxoxoxoxoozxooo

[Eljoia]
