Was originally a blonde and colored blonde when the gray invaded. Got tired of coloring my hair and totally accept that most of us seniors have gray hair, so stopped coloring. 

 

My brow hair is very sparse. Still using the It Cosmetics brow stick that I've used for years. It's a one-color taupe that you can make light to dark by how you apply.

 

Question is, should I begin using a gray eyebrow color or is it ok to stick with what I'm currently using?

 

Thanks for your help. Appreciate you ladies so much.

I am 75 and have shoulder length gray hair.  I use IT taupe but my brows are still very dark with a few grays that need to be colored (or occasionally pulled).  Sometimes I need to color in a sparse tail; my brows and hair are still thick.  Periodically I will put Vaseline on brows, comb them straight up and then trim them evenly (as we age sometimes our brow hair develops a life of its own).

It's impossible to say without knowing your hair and skin color. Try different colors and take pictures to see which you like best. Here are some examples. I think the last one (eyebrow color with her hair color) looks awful. That warm eyebrow with her cool hair doesn't work.

Bobbi Brown makes a brow pencil in grey.  It is really more of a soft taupe.  I am very silvery with still some lighter brown.  It is my favorite both in color and texture.

Last week @Sweet_Serenity suggested taupe. My hair is more gray than salt and pepper.

 

I love this look.

@WildDunes  I heard a vendor on QVC say that if you have gray hair you should use taupe.  I don't know if everyone would agree with this, but I think taupe looks best with gray hair.
