How to Find the Best Eyebrow Color for You

There's so much pressure these days to have the perfect eyebrows . They've got to be thick but not too thick, arched but not too arched, and so on and so on… At the end of the day, it's only up to you to decide what eyebrow styles and products you like. That said, there are countless brow gels, powders, pomades, and waxes out there, all in varying colors and shades. It's hard to know where to begin sometimes. 

While no one other than you can ultimately determine what your brows should look like, we can make it easier to sort through all of those options with the help of a few professional brow experts. All you've got to do is pay close attention to a few of your physical features and be prepared for a little trial and error. Here's how to find the best eyebrow color for you .

Although dark, bold eyebrows have definitely been highly coveted in recent years, New York city brow artist Azi Sacks maintains that eyebrows are never a one-size-fits-all (or one-color-fits-all) situation. New York City makeup artist Delina Medhin agrees: "Brows are so personal." That said, it's important to consider your unique hair color and skin tone before picking your brow makeup.

When picking an eyebrow color for her clients, Medhin first looks at their hair and skin color. Fellow makeup artist Tommy , also based in New York City, concurs. "I look to the root color of my talent's hair."

This seems like a pretty obvious tip, we know. If you have light skin and hair, for example, you might feel overwhelmed by a pitch-black brow pomade. Or if you have a deep skin tone, a light-colored powder probably won't appear at all. But it's a little more complicated than simply having brown hair and picking whatever brown eyebrow makeup is around. Thinking critically about the depth and undertone of a clients' skin and hair, Medhin explains, helps her determine how light, dark, cool, or warm their eyebrow makeup should be (more on that in a second). 

Observing the texture of your hair can also help you determine how light or dark your brow color should be, Sacks says. "This helps me gauge how intense or soft to go," she explains. For example, those with naturally dark and dense hair will likely be a better fit for equally dark and dense eyebrows. Folks with lighter or finer hair, on the other hand, might feel a “rich, dense” brow in a lighter tone look m.

Even general facial structure can determine brow color for Sacks. "I also look at the forehead space," she says. "I will tend to create a softer fill if the forehead is smaller." In her opinion, the brow should be "enhanced but not overwhelmed." Observing your hair color and density as well as skin tone can help to avoid that if you're afraid of going too bold.

OK, so you've got a good grip on your hair color and skin tone and are ready to buy some brow makeup. Now what? It's time to determine how light or dark your brow product of choice should be. After determining a client's root hair color, Tommy will almost always select a color that is one shade lighter than their hair. 

"The ideal color will mimic the shadow already there that is created by eyebrow hair," he explains. Medhin takes a similar approach: "I'm looking for an eyebrow pencil that.. conveys the look of a shadow," she says. 

To reiterate: The goal isn't to find brow makeup that exactly matches the brow hair; the goal is to mimic the color of the shadow-cast skin that lies between each of your brow hairs. Sticking to that rule, Sacks says, can help "camouflage" brow makeup into your hairs.

"If the brow shade is too blonde or dark and you're looking to fill in gaps, you will notice your brows will appear to have pigment on them but they don't look any filler — or they just look drawn on," she says. "Brow color should create density or more depth but not change the brow's tone." 

Not matching your brow makeup to your brow hair might sound kind of backward, but think about this way: it's the contrast between darker brow hair and lighter brow makeup that creates the illusion of fuller brows. Filling in brows with a color that's an exact match to (or darker than) your brow hair eliminates that illusion and can make brows appear flat or blocky. So if you look in the mirror and can easily clock your own brow makeup, it might be time to trade up to lighter makeup shades. 

Here's where your skin depth comes into play. Medhin's rule of thumb is that "the fairer the skin, the less warm I would like the brow pencil to be." Tommy adds that skin undertone can also help when determining how much warmth or coolness will compliment a person's brows. "If someone has more yellow in their skin tone, the eyebrow pencil might need a touch of warmth, otherwise, it might read ashy or gray or artificial," he explains.

The biggest exception to that rule, Medhin clarifies, is redheads. "That is the time I lean towards a warm pencil," she says. But at the end of the day, the goal is to mimic a shadow rather than actual hair, so Tommy would argue that it's better in most cases to lean toward shades on the cooler side. 

"Generally, eyebrow colors look best when they are colder, without red or orange, like a shadow," he reiterates. Some great examples of cooler-toned eyebrow products include Iope Eyebrow Auto Pencil in Khaki Gray , Anastasia Beverly Hill's Dipbrow Pomade in Taupe , or MAC Coquette eye shadow, which Tommy uses on his fair, blonde-haired clients.

If you're looking at your brow makeup and can't tell warm from cool, Sacks says it's safest to lean toward neutral-toned, lighter browns; if it still looks strange to you, you can account for that after the fact. "Go taupe, then after you have built your density and length, you can pat another tone on top to match it to your hair color at the end of your application, like a cake topper," she explains. 

The TLDR of it all is to choose brow products that are slightly lighter and slighter cooler than the color of your natural eyebrow hairs. If you have naturally dense and/or dark brows, you'll have more leeway to pack on more product. If you're on the naturally sparse side, approach with caution and apply smaller amounts until you achieve your desired look. 

As we mentioned before, your eyebrow shape, color, and style are ultimately up to your personal preference. If you like dark and bold, do dark and bold. If you like lightweight and low-key, do that. If you generally prefer warm over cool colors or vice versa, wear those. There isn't an objectively right or wrong way to wear your eyebrows, so do what you like — but if it's expert-approved methods you're looking for, hopefully, these guidelines will help.

The Ultimate Eyebrow Color Chart for Perfectly Defined Brows

Eyebrow color charts are used to help individuals and professionals choose the right eyebrow color. They consider factors such as skin tone, hair color, and personal preference. These charts can be especially useful for microblading artists and makeup artists. They can also help individuals who dye their eyebrows or use eyebrow makeup.

Properly shaped and defined eyebrows can make a huge difference in your overall appearance. But selecting the right eyebrow color is crucial for creating a natural, flawless look. Your brow color should complement your complexion and hair color. It should also flatter your facial features.

Remember, the best eyebrow color for you depends on your skin tone , hair color , and personal preference. It’s always a good idea to consult with a professional if you’re unsure about which color to choose.

This comprehensive guide will teach you everything you need to know about choosing the optimal eyebrow color. You’ll also learn professional techniques to fill in, shape, and define your brows to perfection.

How to Determine Your Undertones

Choosing an eyebrow shade that matches your hair color seems logical, but it doesn’t always work. The undertones of your skin are just as important for finding a flattering brow color.

Warm undertones  have yellow, peach, or golden hues. If you have warm undertones, you’ll look best in browns with red, auburn, chestnut, or gold tones.

Cool undertones  have blue, pink, or silver hues. Ashy browns, taupe, gray, and black brows pair best with cool undertones.

Neutral undertones  are neither warm nor cool, so your veins appear blue/green. Beiges, soft browns, and blond shades flatter neutral skin.

The Ultimate Eyebrow Color Chart

This comprehensive  eyebrow color chart  covers all hair colors and undertones. Use it to identify the best shades to naturally define your brows.

Blonde Hair

Filling in your eyebrows.

Using the right tools and techniques ensures your brow color looks polished and natural.

Pencils  – Ideal for hair-like strokes. Use a sharp pencil for crisp lines. Go for a mechanical pencil for convenience.

Pomades  – Provides intense color payoff. Better for dramatic or filled-in brows. Can be messy.

Powders  – Create a softer, more diffused look. Easy to apply but can fade faster.

Gels  – Tame unruly hairs and set brow color. Choose clear for light hold or tinted for extra color.

When filling in brows, use light, feathery strokes in the same direction as your hairs. Build up color gradually and blend well. Brush brows upward and outward with a spooley after coloring.

Pro tip: For natural looking brows, choose a shade slightly lighter than your hair color.

Shaping Your Eyebrows

Shaping your brows to flatter your face is just as important as color. Here are some key techniques:

• Stencils  – Use reusable plastic stencils to map out ideal brow shape.
• Tweezing  – Tweeze stray hairs underneath the brow’s natural arc. Never over-tweeze.
• Common shapes  – Arched, straight, angled, rounded. Choose what flatters your face shape.
• Professional help  – Brow waxing, threading and microblading can help achieve the perfect shape.

Having a professional shape your brows can make filling them in much easier.

With the right eyebrow color and shape, you can frame your features for a polished, put-together look. Use this comprehensive guide to achieve flawlessly defined eyebrows! For more brow tips, download a printable eyebrow color chart now.

The Best Brows for Your Hair Color: From Bleached to Black

By Mackenzie Wagoner

We may earn a commission if you buy something from any affiliate links on our site.

Sunny has replaced wintery. Ballet flats are standing in for snow shoes. And the change in season is calling for a ground-shifting beauty reinvention that’s bigger than lipstick. Leave your hair alone—and first consider the brow, which, with an incremental permutation in tone, can transform your look from ethereal to classic, pretty to punk.

“People are looking at brows as an extension of their hair,” says the makeup artist Kate Lee, who has transformed the arches of clients like Rooney Mara and Keira Knightley. For those en route to finding their ideal hair and brow color combination, discovering the right match can be tricky. Lee suggests experimenting first with temporary brow colors, like Anastasia Tinted Brow Gel , and filling in lightly with a Chanel Sculpting Eyebrow Pencil for added depth. “It’s instant gratification,” she explains. “Take a selfie, look in the mirror, and make sure it suits you.”

Once you’ve settled on a shade, New York City colorist Aura Friedman, whose clients include everyone from Carolyn Murphy to Caroline Polachek and Sky Ferreira , says the only rule for dyeing your eyebrows is to match warm tones with warm tones, cool with cool. That, and be prepared to return to the salon at least once every four weeks—even more often if you’ve gone lighter (though Lee notes that a tinted brow gel will see you through any awkward salt-and-pepper transitional moments).

Here, Lee and Friedman offer their guidelines for brow alterations that enhance eye color, strengthen or soften bone structure, and look as inconspicuous or dramatic as desired.

“People tend to feel better about themselves when you can see their eyebrows,” explains Friedman. Natural blondes who have fair hairs can feel free to deepen the shade of their arches, she says, adding that darker brows will act as a frame for the face and enhance your eye color. “Generally, it will give you the appearance of a lot more brow. It can really revolutionize your look,” agrees Lee. If your eyebrows appear too dark against your hair, Friedman suggests “taking the edge out by softening the color one level”—an act she deems necessary across the board for brunettes going golden blonde, because lightening your brows, even subtly, will warm everything up.

Bleached brows, on the other hand, “are not for everyday life—it’s more for models and for people with perfect bone structure.” So, just because you’ve gone platinum does not mean you have to take your brows there, too. “You’re not going to fool anyone into believing it’s your natural hair color.”

“If you’re a blonde going brunette, I recommend darkening your brows,” advises Friedman, but, conversely, she says, brunettes with brows deeper than their hair color have no need to book a brow-dyeing appointment. It’s a look she prefers, because “by nature, your brows are supposed to be darker than your hair,” and the cooler your shade, the darker your brows can be. A lift in arch tone is only suggested for those looking to soften the fine lines that come with aging or angular bone structure, and to take the focus away from thin eyebrows. If your brow shade blends with your skin tone, an over-plucked pair won’t look so pronounced.

“More often than not, natural redheads don’t have red eyebrows, so matching your brows to your hair color is unnecessary,” says Friedman. Those with a hue that’s more pumpkin than burgundy will be best suited by arches with the smallest hint of copper. Cool redheads, on the other hand, can be coupled with brunette arches that are dark and rich.

Raven-haired women can follow the simple equation of matching black with black. “Warm eyebrows with black hair reads orange and looks weird,” says Friedman. But, she concedes, “Every client is case by case.”

No matter what you choose, Lee cautions, “do not try to dye your own brows, especially if you don’t have experience. There are plenty of eyebrow specialists. I would encourage you to not take chances.”

When looking for the best eyebrow makeup for travel, we want something that can last all day and is small, that’s why we’ve found the best waterproof brow pencil selections for your next vacay!

Best Eyebrow Pencil

Written By: Laura Pulling

Table Of Contents

The eyebrows can be a pivotal part of your makeup routine to feeling put together, but not all eyebrow products are created equal, and if you want something durable and long-lasting, the best pencils out there are waterproof, which is an important aspect for travel, especially when visiting beach or lake locales, or if you’re going to a humid, hot country. 

Some women love to also use eyebrow gel , which is a fave of editor-in-chief Alex. Yet, it can be confusing to know the difference between gel and a pencil. An eyebrow pencil can help fill in missing hairs, while a gel is used for helping to tame unruly brows and has a slight tint.

Another thing you don’t want to worry about is your makeup melting or washing away when taking a dip somewhere! Luckily brow pencils are generally small, so they won’t take up a lot of space in your travel makeup bag, but which is the top one? 

We’ve looked at the lot, from the best drugstore eyebrow pencil to high-end products to give you, the TFG readers, the best options!

Best Waterproof Brow Pencil

Shop: Nordstrom | Macy’s |  ULTA | M.A.C

MAC Shape + Shade Brow Tint

So this MAC eyebrow pencil isn’t a pencil exactly, more of an incredibly fine-tipped felt-tip brow pen containing their special liquid formula. It’s double-ended, having the product pen on one side, and a sponge tip on the other end, which is great for blending.  

Users love this easy to apply MAC brow pencil and share that it’s long-lasting. Some users have found that the pigmentation can be a bit pale, but others say that giving it a good shake helps!

One wearer shares, “This product blends right in with my eyebrow color and enhances them. The pen is easy to use. I love it!”

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pen

Fans previously raved about the Anastasia brow pencil , and while it’s still awesome—it’s not waterproof. This new  Anastasia brow pen IS waterproof and is beginning to convert pencil fans. This superfine-tipped pen helps you to build and define brows by micro-stroking with precision application, much finer than a pencil can ever be. The formula is smooth and mimics hairs for a natural appearance. 

One user touts, “I’m not going to lie, I’m loving this. I am ALWAYS on the lookout for a good brow product and as usual, ABH never disappoints. ABH brow pens have a finer tip and the product is coming out more matte on my skin”

Plus we love that you can text ABH to get your perfect color match eyebrow pen too! 

We’re rounding up the ten most long lasting eye liners !

Shop: Amazon |  Sephora  | Kohl’s

Sephora Collection Waterproof Eyebrow Pencils 

This Sephora eyebrow pencil has an ultra-fine tip and a cool feature is it’s retractable, so when you run out, simply twist it to get more color—no sharpener required (and I HAVE been in that unfortunate situation of having a blunt pencil in the middle of nowhere — not fun!) .  The opposite side has a spoolie end for easy taming and blending. Plus it comes in 10 long-lasting shades.

Users love it, especially its waterproof abilities, with one sharing this review, “The eyebrow pencil Sephora makes is definitely a good bang for your buck. I can attest to it being waterproof as I have worn this to the beach and showered with it on in those outdoor beach showers in Mexico . It’s sweat-proof as well.”

Maybelline  Waterproof Microblading Pen 

This Maybelline brow tint pen might sound scary, with the term microblading involved for a DIY at-home product, but it’s not quite the same as the salon treatment!

This set also includes a brow razor for tidying up your brows, to begin with.

IT Cosmetics Mini Brow Power Universal Brow Pencil 

After a sweaty and exhausting (but well worth it) sightseeing day, the last thing you want is to look in the mirror and see half your eyebrow is wiped off. With this IT Cosmetics pencil you’ll have long lasting wear all day long! 

Because this pencil was created with plastic surgeons and dermatologists, it’s not only cruelty free but it’s made from biotin, saw palmetto, and antioxidants to naturally mimic the look of real hair (and cover those pesky grays). The best part? IT Cosmetics matches each purchase with a donation to help women with cancer. 

You can also grab it in a mini-travel size at Sephora , too!

YENSA Defining Brow Pencil 

There’s already enough pollution and toxins entering your pores as you travel, so YENSA decided to create a product that enhances your natural look, has skin-loving benefits, and lasts beyond your adventures. 

Their super brow defining pencil has no synthetic fragrances or sulphates, so you can say adios to inflamed skin. The tip provides hair-like strokes to help fill out your brows. 

A happy reviewer says, “Best brow pencil I’ve come across… looks very natural looking and I like that you don’t need a pencil sharpener. I usually only buy bare essentials products because I have sensitive skin, except for this!”

For sensitive skin, long-lasting, and water-resistant, it checks all the marks! 

Here’s how to pack lighter by choosing the essentials to create your own travel capsule makeup collection !

How to Pencil In Eyebrow

Begin by brushing your eyebrows (like you would your hair!) brush them upward in a straight motion to see where your eyebrows naturally arch and shape. 

Use a sharp pencil tip to draw in short, regular strokes that mimic hairs, filling in gaps for a defined look. 

Obviously practice makes perfect, so when you are learning how to use eyebrow pencil take your time and use a magnified and lit mirror for the best view.

I can’t believe I missed this blog post. I’m going on a cruise in two weeks and have been on the hunt for a waterproof brow. Thank you!

Adding these to my list to try. I tend to use a brow pommade and brush, but this would certainly save a step (and be more packable).

Wow! Just found this post looking for how to enter the contest! Who knew? I love it and thanks for the tips as always!!!

I use the IT Universal eyebrow pencil for years it’s the best! Thanks again for all the recommendations from you & readers. Safe travels!

It has always been such a difficulty to find a reliable and long-lasting brow pencil. Nothing is more frustrating than to notice halfway through the day that half your eyebrow has disappeared! Thank you for the recommendations!

I love the L’oreal brow stylist defined. My tip. Is to always take a brand new eyebrow pencil on your trip. You can’t see how much is remaining in your current one.

I will check these out! Thanks!

I love this review and thnak you for the recommendations

I use another maybelline eyebrow pencil but I think the micro blading pen looks like a better option. Thanks for all the ideas!

I’m also a fan of the NYX brow pen, but many days I also just use a darker powder and a small brush.

Some good options here! I also like the NYX brow pen. It never dries out and is easy to use.

I use Anastasia brow pencil for everyday, but bought Anastasia brow pen for my trip to Ireland after the above reviews and I loved it !! Even during the heat wave a few weeks ago! Thank you for the suggestions and reviews!

Thanks for doing the research. This has been my most frustrating makeup problem.

Great review, thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for your feedback! ?
