Coloring or Highlighting Eyebrows
January 14, 2010
Have you ever thought about your eyebrows as an attraction feature? I never really did until I started noticing that as some people age, their eyebrows start thinning out and actually start losing color. By that I mean that they don’t automatically turn gray or silver just because their hair does, but that the actual color just seems to fade away. So where am I going with all of this?
So, what does one do to get that eyebrow color back to what you were once accustomed to? The first response would be to ask your hair stylist to put some dye on them the next time you go in for color on your hair. I’ve done that, but it didn’t last as long as I would have liked for it to. So, what is the backup plan? How about checking out makeup brushes online or in your favorite beauty supply location? Let’s face it, everyone’s brows need some TLC and it might be that they need more than just color. Shaping of the eyebrows as well as filling is a very important aspect of brow beauty care.
If you don’t want to dye your eyebrows, I suggest that you purchase some eyebrow powder. There are many types and colors available so you can have some fun choosing one to try. Allure magazine suggests that if you are a blonde or redhead, you should use a color that’s one shade darker than your brows. And, if you are a brunette, you should go with one shade lighter. The key to applying the powder to the brow is to use an angled brush. Once applied you should then run a spooly brush through the eyebrow to soften the use of the powder. Just as an FYI, many of the eyebrow brushes available in the marketplace have dual usage. On one end is the slanted brush to apply the powder and on the other end sis the spooly brush that can be used on your eyelashes and/or the brow.
