You've just found your perfect hair color, but now your brow color doesn't seem right! Are your brows so dark they stand out like Groucho Marx's, or so fair they're practically nonexistent? Our beautiful members offer their insights on how to dye your eyebrows:
This is a tip that famous makeup artist Sam Fine does to lighten brows: Use a good regular facial bleaching cream and apply it to your eyebrows. Leave it on for one minute. This should lighten them. I saw it demonstrated, and it made dark brows a chestnut brown shade. It looked nice and it opened the model's eyes. Also try tinted brow gel or powders.

Most salons dye eyebrows. It's worth the time and money to have it professionally done.

I had my white-blonde eyebrows dyed over the summer. My natural hair color is a nice red with brown undertones. I always pencil brows in with a pencil that's close to my hair color. The dyeing was fine, only took a few minutes and cost about $15.
