• If you are going for a natural look, it’s best not to go too dark when selecting a brow color, as this can look rather harsh. Generally, if your hair is on the darker side, you should choose something that is lighter than your natural hair color. For example, if your hair is black, don’t use black on your brows (this looks unnatural), instead, choose a cool dark or medium brown color. If your hair is a warm medium brown, try a shade lighter like a warm light brown. If your hair has highlights and lowlights, you can pick something matching the lightest part of your hair, rather than the base color.
• However, there are a few exceptions to consider, especially for those with lighter shades of hair. If you have light hair, you may want to choose a shade that is a bit darker than your hair. Example: If you have light blonde hair, choose a color that is one shade darker or one that matches the darkest shade in your hair.
• If you have natural light red hair, you can try shades like taupe, ashy blonde, golden brown, or a very light brown with a
touch of auburn tones. Those with darker red hair may want to try auburn or a warm medium brown.
• If your hair and your natural brow color are totally different, choose a color that falls in between them. For example, if you have blonde hair, but your brows are naturally brown, choose something that falls in between them.
• If you’re looking to add more depth to your brows, you can use two different shades. The first can be similar to your hair color, while the second can be a bit darker. In this case, you want to use the lightest shade through the full brow and use the dark color in the middle and through the brow tail.
