    @divamakeup take the plunge. There are other stores than this one, and some of the products are unqiue and of excellent quality. I heartily recommend Oh My Brows, its a tremendous resource with a great deal of thought and effort put into it.  Still waiting on some morphs... I think Kenji hasn't been added to the guys (I own the girls, but... well, you know me, I don't render many girls).

    +1 on the recommendation of Oh My Brows...

    Just got that last night when you mentioned they were on sale.  They had been in my wishlist since I first saw them.  I'll have to get them installed later today and try them out when my current render is done.

    Here's a crop from a work in progress Using LY Emi. I was able to change the color of her brows because Emi comes with a no-brow option.

    Eyebrows aren't mirrors. Nothing, imo, throws off a closeup of a face faster than a cut and paste eyebrow. Even the most carefully groomed eyebrow isn't going to look EXACTLY like the other eyebrow. 

    I realize that many, even most, take the time to create subtle differences between the two brows - and that's much appreciated. To those of you who are copy and pasting the same brow and just flipping it over to the other side without any changes or mods, please please stop - it does not look good. First, it makes you look lazy (and considering how much time and work you put into creating your character and making nice looking skin texture, I know you aren't lazy) and second it just really makes the character look off. Even if people can't place what is "off" about it, the mirror brow is uncanny and unsettling. You wouldn't mirror freckles or skin spots, please stop mirroring eyebrows. 

    I made some geometry adjustments and morphs (the morphs are subtle) for the G2F Lacitis Imagery eyebrows; I converted them to G3, but suspect what I made would work regardless. They allow subtle changes and with more than one material zone, parts can be faded, or completely invisible. I use them alot after removing painted on eyebrows.

    Care to share them? They sound pretty great! :D

    @evilded777 @L'Adair - I know, I totally should "take the plunge". I definitely plan on buying the Oh My Brows today before they go off sale.

    I love no-brow options. Lyoness is awesome and provides not only no-brows but different colors of brows - she's definitely ahead of the game and I hope more PAs start doing that. :)
