Recommendations for best eye brow powder and color for brunettes

Glorimar · ‎03-10-2010

Ladies, after trying eye brow pencils regular and ink, eye brow gel, pomades and powders I've decided I like powder the best. What is your favorite one and also, what is the best color to work with if you are a brunette? I'm leaning more towards maybe a taupe color (depending on the brand) as over time I've come to realize that even dark brown is a little too dark since I have dark brown hair with honey colored highlights.

Many years ago, I tried Joan Rivers Great Hair Day (bought on QVC) and the kit came with a bonus brow powder in the same shade (blonde for me). I set it aside and forgot about it. A year or so I came across it and gave it a try. I don't do full makeup every day, but this is now my go to product for brows. So little is needed that it still looks practically new. Make sure you use the correct brush to apply - small, flat, tightly packed, and angled. Following application, smooth with a spoolie or typical eyebrow brush.

I use a brow pencil from Benefit in #3 which is a light-ish brown. it's the only brow product I buy. Went to the brow bar at Macys for a color match. It can be light or use more pressure to darken up.

Some taupes can be too light, I found. If you hair is dark, you need a balance of that dark on your brows.

I use a combination of a powder for some depth...in Nyx in taupe (it comes in a duo -- taupe/ash). The Nyx taupe is quite dark. I apply this w/ an angled brush very lightly, applying on the skin more than anything.

And then Anastasia brow gel in dark brown over top (the one with a short mascara wand). That also applied very lightly, but applied only on the hairs.

I faltered with different brow methods (pencils & such even with my artiful application skills), but this really does look as natural as can be and lasts all day.

@Glorimar Taupe shadows work well, but you need to decide if you need a warm or cool tone one. After using a shadow, it’s a good idea to use a waterproof setting gel.
