Eyebrows drive me CRAZY. How does everyone else get these baby fine lines? I have cut my brush to maybe three hairs. I still get either literally nothing…or too thick a line.
Using a brush like Christine’s is a game changer! You can get just the brush or the book andthe brush, or take a class from her in person. Her course really improved my eyebeows.

I use air dry too and struggled hard with prisma pencils at first. Adding more texture by sealing twice helped a lot but I’m currently dipping the tip of my sharpened pencil in distilled water to get more pigment when I draw brows.
I just dip it the water, hold it for a second, wipe it off, and draw 2-3 hairs. It’s a trick I learned in college from one of my friends that majored in painting to get more pigment from waxy/hard pencils and chalks. She would also add rubbing alcohol to her water and sometimes soak the whole pencil, but I’m not that brave haha.
I use prismacolor pencil on air dry. It works the best over a very matte varnish or sealer. The rebornFx products are the best I have found for pencil. Pencil need to be very sharp.
Thanks, everyone. I doublechecked and somehow, the colors I bought were not Prismacolor. They were a different brand. I bought a Prismacolor and look what I got! AMAZING! (The hairs on top of the eyebrows – the rest were paint – and the tiny side and under lashes).
Please note that I am doing super-dramatic work on the eyes as this is an alternative reborn. The initial strokes were very feather-light.
