This should provide you with a somewhat fuller look for your thin brows.

 

In the event you do not have brow filler on hand, an eye shadow will work in a pinch. Follow the same rules as far as color and application guidelines that your would for the brow filler.

 

You can also achieve the same effect with an eyebrow pencil. Work a similar shade into your brows and brush upwards with a brow brush to distribute the pencil through your existing brows. There are many brands of pencils available both in your local drugstore and in department stores.
