Your brows can be a distraction or your best face accessory. They help frame your face and draw your audience in. Some women never fill in their brows and some will create a mockery of sorts!
However, there are many factors that contribute to great brows like color, size, shape and fullness. Today we will focus on color. If you have the wrong color, it can take attention away from your face and up into your brows and hair. The most common ways to find your best brow color is using your skin undertone and hair color.
SKIN UNDERTONE
Skin undertone is the underlying tint to a person’s skin. For the sake of time let’s just say, if your skin is more vibrant wearing gold jewelry, you are a warm undertone. If your skin is more vibrant wearing silver jewelry, you are a cool undertone and if you really look good in both, you may be a neutral/olive undertone.
HAIR COLOR
The next step will be using your hair color as a guide. Generally, if your hair color is dark, your brows should be 1-2 shades lighter and if your hair color is light, your brows should be 1-2 shades darker. Check out this color chart I found at www.julep.com:
When it comes to shopping for color, keep in mind that it’s a process. There’s trial and error but the more you get information to narrow down your choices the closer you get to your color. So, don’t fear there is a color for you!
One last thing! If you try a color and just are not sure if its right, go to the "selfie test"! My good friend, Reese Williams, of Eye Make It Happen Image Concierge suggest checking the camera when all else fails. Take a picture of yourself and if your brows are the first thing your eye is drawn to maybe it's time for a new color.
