BEAUTY | SureThik Eyebrow Thickening Fibers with Before and After and Even a Goatee!

Whenever I mention the brand SureThik, people look at me all confused, but then when I say, "you know the powder that you shake onto bald spots so it looks like you have hair", people go "Oh, in the blue and white packaging! The thought of creating hair where there isn't may seem a little hokey, but I have a much older grandmother aged coworker who uses this stuff to keep her permed her looking full and dense. I actually didn't know she was using SureThik until I told her I was reviewing the Eyebrow Thickening Fibers and she said that her hairdresser sprinkles this powder onto her more sparse areas. You may still think this stuff is odd with this introduction, but by the end of this post, I think you might be a believer!

These eyebrow thickening fibers are made with keratin and silica and come in four shades to match all skin tones. They work by attaching onto existing hair filling in sparse areas and increasing eyebrow hair density. They are supposed to be sweatproof, smudgeproof and last up to 16 hours! Crazy, right?!

Each kit comes with a small pot of defining wax (besswax-based), 100% keratin fibers and a double-sided application brush.

The first step is to apply the Defining Wax. Using the angled "Wax" side of the brush provided, apply the wax in areas you would like to have more hair. A little bit of wax goes a long way so you don't need to go too crazy. I did at most 2 strokes into the wax and that was it.


Then comes the fun part! The fibers! This amount that is in the cap was more than enough for my one eyebrow, but obviously everyone's eyebrows are different. I have enough hair to at least have a full arch, but I just need the density.

The key to smooth application with these fibers is to PAT instead of stroking the fibers on. The "Fiber" side of the brush is shaped perfectly for picking up the fibers and then depositing them onto the areas where there is wax and hair. At first I thought this would be pretty imprecise as the wax was clear, but because the fibers stick more to the actual eyebrow hairs and the wax acting as more of a seal, I managed to get my eyebrow shape fairly close to what I wanted. You can use a cotton swab for cleanup if you would like a cleaner finish.

Below is the first time I had EVER used the product so even as a newbie, I was quite impressed with how natural it looked although my husband thought my shade was too dark (I'm wearing Medium Brown). Maybe it was because I wasn't wearing a lot of eye makeup that day to balance out the colour.

With both brows done, I was pleasantly surprised with how natural the fibers looked. I was worried the front part of my brows would look unnaturally thick, but they looked pretty good! There were a few extra fiber bits that didn't integrate with the rest of my brows in the photo, but once I noticed them (after the photo was taken) I just brushed them off with my finger.

What's awesome is that you can literally WIPE your eyebrows and the fibers won't come off! I doused my face in water after wearing these fibers for 5 hours and literally NOTHING came off! I had to use my Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Water to wipe them off with a cotton pad so if anyone is worried they will come off swimming in the ocean or during a workout, have no fear! SureThik is here!

Now that I knew these thickening fibers did their job when hair was present, I NEEDED to know if these fibers could create hair in an area where there was none and I am here to show you using a creepy soul patch that a realistic goatee IS possible! I applied the wax, tapped on the fibers and though they didn't look quite as real as my eyebrows up close, they came pretty damn close so if you ladies have ever wanted to be Jack Sparrow for Halloween, douchey facial hair is now within your reach!

Final verdict: If you are looking for Instabrows, these fibers are not for you, but if you are needing to fill in areas of sparseness or create an eyebrow "tail" you will most certainly be able to do it with these thickening fibers! I have used Benefit's Gimme Brow in the past for this purpose, but that ain't got nothin' on these fibers! It also took LESS time to add in the fibers than drawing my eyebrows in with a pencil! All in all, I was super impressed, amused at my soul patch and am now a total believer in eyebrow fibers!
