Choosing the Right Shade for a Natural Look


The right color depends mainly on your natural eyebrow and hair color. Generally, avoid a shade much darker than your natural hair color, as this can make the look appear harsh.

Blondes can opt for taupe or ash blonde shades, while brunettes have a wide range of browns to choose from. Those with black hair can often achieve a more natural look with a very dark brown rather than an intense black.


FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About Eyebrow Makeup


Which eyebrow pencil color should you choose?


Choose a shade close to your natural eyebrow color. A slightly lighter shade can create a softer look, while a color that’s too dark may make your eyes look harsh.


Which texture should you choose for eyebrow makeup?


A pencil is best for details and drawing individual hairs, powder creates a more diffused effect, and gel allows you to work directly on the hairs. A creamy or pomade-like texture generally provides more intensity and must be applied with precision.


What is the difference between an eyebrow pencil, powder, and gel?


A pencil allows you to precisely fill in sparse areas. Powder creates a softer shadow, while gel or eyebrow mascara colors, tames, and sets the hairs directly.


How can you keep your eyebrows in place all day?


Apply a setting gel after you’ve filled in your brows. Brush the hairs in the desired direction and let the formula set without constantly touching them up.


How do you apply makeup to sparse eyebrows?


Start by filling in the gaps with a pencil or powder, without filling in the entire line evenly. Then add a tinted gel if you want to give the existing hairs more volume.


Is eyebrow pomade suitable for all types of eyebrows?


It can work for many types of eyebrows, especially for achieving a defined look. Its creamy texture is generally more pigmented than powder and simply requires a light application with a fine or angled brush.


In what order should you apply eyebrow products?


Generally, start with the pencil, powder, or pomade to define the shape, then apply the setting gel as the final step. A tinted gel can also be used on its own for a quicker routine.


How can you avoid making your eyebrows look too heavy?


Use a small amount of product, work in small strokes, and avoid drawing the beginning of the eyebrow too heavily. Regularly brush through the hairs with a spoolie to distribute the pigment and soften the edges.
