Brow Colour Blues? Let's Find Your Perfect Shade!
Ever found yourself staring at the brow aisle, overwhelmed by the seemingly endless array of shades? Don't worry, you're not alone! Choosing the right brow colour can be a bit of a conundrum, but with a few simple tips, you'll be rocking perfectly matched brows in no time.
The Golden Rule: Match Your Natural Brow Hair
A solid starting point is to match your brow colour to your natural brow and hair colour. Generally, aiming for a shade within two tones of your natural shade, will create a harmonious look. If you have darker hair, consider going slightly lighter for a softer appearance. For those with lighter hair, a slightly darker shade can add definition.
Skin Tone Matters
Your skin tone also plays a role in choosing the right brow colour.
- Warm Skin Tones: If you have warm undertones (think peachy or golden skin), opt for brow colours with warm undertones like our blonde, medium brown, or dark brown.
- Cool Skin Tones: If you have cool undertones (think pink or ivory skin), look for brow colours with cool undertones like our light brown pencil or medium brown mascara.
Experiment and Have Fun
While the above guidelines offer a great starting point, don't be afraid to experiment! Makeup is all about personal expression, so feel free to try different shades and see what looks best on you.
Pro Tip: If you're unsure about a shade, consider testing it on your wrist or the inner corner of your eye to see how it looks in natural light. You can also use two shades, one through the centre hairs and one slightly darker on the tails of your brows to give a more defined finish.
Finding the perfect brow colour can be a journey. By considering your natural hair colour and skin tone, you'll be well on your way to achieving beautiful, natural-looking brows.
