Eyebrow Tip No. 2: How to Choose the Right Color If you want to learn how to shape eyebrows like a pro, memorize this tip: Whatever happens, don't choose a shade that exactly matches your brow hair. "People with dark brown hair should not use black or dark brown powder to fill in eyebrows," says Van Jones. "They should use caramels or dark blondes." If you're using pencil instead of powder, which applies more harshly, you might need to go even lighter.
By contrast, blondes should choose shades that match the base of their hair color, not their highlights, to prevent looking washed out.
You also want to take your skin tone into consideration. "For women with darker skin tones, the brown has to have some red in it," says Van Jones. "Look for chocolatey colors with some warmth." For girls with dark hair and lighter skin, try Zoey Van Jones Brow Studio Brow Shadow Duo in Sandy, $22, which contains light taupe colors.
