A quick question about eyebrow pencils and filling in your eyebrows…?
by admin on Feb.11, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
Okay, so my current hair color is a light blonde.. I would say about two shades darker than platinum. My natural hair color is a dirty blonde, so my eyebrows are that color obviously. I was wondering, if I wanted to fill my eyebrows in with eyebrow pencil what color would work best? I bought an eyebrow pencil in brown, and it is just way too dark. Is it true that if you're blonde, you should fill your eyebrows in with a pencil that's two shades lighter than your natural hair color? Thanks.

Well, it's actually the other way around! If you're a brunette like me, your brow pencil should be 2 shades lighter (you don't wanna end up with black brow, we want just enough soft definition to define them!) and if you're a blonde, you would want to go 2 shades DARKER because if you went lighter, you wouldn't be defining the brow at all, right? I learned all of this from this girl named michelle phan on youtube, she's great and you can look at some of her tutorials to look at how she does her brows. Hope this helps!
