The Before: Scrawny Eyebrows You may have already heard this complaint: My eyebrows just don't grow. I've made some progress thanks to brow growth serums, but the difference is small -- some wispy hairs that are better than nothing don't do much to make my brows look more substantial overall.

Fortunately, I have a solid brow powder routine, which makes a big difference -- though definitely not a Delevingne-level difference.

Even on their best day, my eyebrows are not doing me any favors. So when I heard that Courtney Buhler, the founder of Sugar Lash eyebrow and eyelash extensions, was going to be in town, I jumped at the chance to meet her for a brow-over.
