My eyebrows are overplucked and too pale, what's a good eyebrow pencil?

I used to love my lashes. They were almost too thick like Brooke Shields but I'd get them waxed and they were perfect. Well, for some reason, they have gotten too light. I think it's from using acne products with benzoil peroxide and the sun. All eyebrow pencils I've used look fake. I'm a natural blond. My hair is dark blond and my eyes are blue. I'm fair but do tan in the summer. My eyebrows should be a medium brown but are more like a dark blond. I've also done a HUGE no-no! I've been shaving my brows instead of getting them waxed due to laziness. I have to try to let them grow out which I hate. I hate all those little stray hairs but I need them to be all natural so they can be shaped. I'm afraid that my brows are permenately sparse now! What can I do? Also, how should you apply eyebrow pencil? And back to my original question, what is a GREAT brand? THANKS!
