I'd stay out of it. it could hurt feelings. Unless she ever asks for advice, help shopping for makeup, or makes a comment about brows herself.

I am 74 and my hair is grayish white and my brows are naturally brunette (,with a few grey hairs). I use a taupe pomade very sparingly to blend in those strays. My eyes and brows are my most dominant feature ( my brother has white hair and my brows).

My hair is naturally light Auburn, my brows have always been & still are almost black.

Recently, when a friends mom passed away, she kept saying something didn't look right on her after the funeral home fixed her. She had lost her hair due to chemo, but it had all came back very white, yet her eyebrows were jet black!! I thought that looked odd, but I never said anything. I don't know if the funeral home colored them like that, or if they really came back black. They looked somewhat natural, but slightly too dark.

*My eyebrows are colorless, my hair is gray. When I try using a pencil or anything to color them, it looks like I've been playing in the make-up.

I have salt & pepper hair and my eye brows are med/dark brown. Looks good to me.

Hmmm OP your friend sounds very nice and confident in herself with her gray hair! (I will never let mine go gray!) Let it be. I could NEVER possibly hurt my friends feelings just because something is bothering only me.

My husband's black hair turned completely silver 3 years before his mustache did. Now his mustache finally caught up and is silver too. My hair was naturally blonde before it turned silver. From childhood until my 50's, my hair was blonde but my eyebrows were dark brown and very thick (I wish I had those eyebrows today!). My dad also had blonde hair and dark brown eyebrows. Different colors of hair and eyebrows happen naturally sometimes.

Are you sure your friend's eyebrows aren't naturally reddish-brown?

One of my friends has let her hair go grey (some of her original color--dark brown) is still visible.

Here's my question: her eyebrows are reddish-brown (obviously, not natural). I think it looks a bit crazy.

Other opinions?

Wow. Flame away, but my opinion is that it's not very nice of you to be talking behind your friend's back, especially about a physical feature that she may not have any control over. How do you know for sure that her brow color isn't natural? A true friend would accept her as she comes and not say she looks "a bit crazy". Really, if it's noticeable to you, don't you think it's noticeable to her? If she wants to do something about it, she will and without your input. Would you like it if she went around talking about something "crazy" about your appearance?

As others have said, maybe they are natural.

The other night Sam Elliott was on the ACM awards. His hair is white and his brows are nearly black if not black. I doubt he dyes his brows.

Or is it possible she had them micro-bladed and they have to naturally fade to natural?

Honestly, I wouldn't say a thing. It might not be your choice of brow color but it's her hair and brows.

@insomniac2 My hair is also gray/silver with some of my original dark brown mixed in. My brows are still dark brown, with just a few grays. They are dark enough that I don't use brow makeup anymore, since I've let them grow in a bit. I like the contrast between my lighter hair and dark brows! I also just got new glasses with darker tortise shell frames to further the contrast.
