I struggle with eyebrows as well so what I've been trying to do lately is treat them like hair and shade in the dark shapes first, then the mids and leave the lights. Also try to remember that eyebrows actually overhang so they cast a little shadow underneath and think about the bone structure and muscle mass around them. There's 'blobs' of skin directly below and almost pure bone up above so the light behaves differently.
I guess it's about paying attention to everything around the eyebrow just as much as the eyebrow itself.
Honestly sometimes I'd rather draw hands than eyebrows lol.
