    Default Dark Hair/ Blonde Eyebrows....What the Eff do I do with them?

    Since there have been quite a few blonde to brunette converts around lately I'm hoping someone will have experience with this.

    I dyed my bright, straw blonde hair pitch black today. I effing love it.

    I have nooo idea what is the best route to go for dealing with my pesky blonde eyebrows. Should I tint them or pencil and powder them in?

    Tinting seems easier to maintain but I've heard that salons aren't really supposed to do it. I penciled and powdered my blonde eyebrows anyways so its not a big deal but I'd prefer the most natural look (if thats even possible lol)

    I'd use wax/powder if you can't get someone to do it professionally.

    Powder them in with a soft brown.

    I have really light brows. My hair isn't super dark, but a warmish brown blond, so there's a contrast. Plus my skin is light. If you use the powder, I'd get one of those kits that have wax, they help the powder adhere & they usually have an angled brush. NYC has an inexpensive one. I use a Syli-style brand light brown pencil.

    Powder them in, I doubt you'll need to color them.

    I'm a natural blonde and I dye my hair black/dark brown... I just either pencil or powder them in.

    Really??? Damn, I used to get my brows tinted all the time @ the Benefit Cosmetics Salon in San Francisco. At the time, I was really into the dark, thick but sculpted brow look. No wonder I couldn't find a decent salon to do them for me in LA.

    Is it poisonous? (Sorry about the thread jack) However, using a darker brow powder would work. I use powder from Eyebrowz. It lasts even after a shower and the 12 or more stage sets I do within a 4-5 hour shfit @ my home club. It stays through sweaty work outs too.

    Oh yeah, to make it stay, (even though with the Eyebrowz brand you don't really need it), I highly recommend She-Laq from Benefit. It's AMAZING! I also used it for liners. It makes creams, powders, liquids and pencils last over 24 hours without the icky waxy feeling.

    From my Googling I understand that tinting isn't supposed to be done because it could get into your eye or cause some allergic reaction.

    I will definitely check out the Eyebrowz stuff. I'm totally paranoid about having a big lovely black smear on my forehead.

    Has anyone tried any Brow Gels like the ones from Anastasia (think they are around 19 bucks)? They sound much more low maintenance.

    I would use the pencil or wax/powder combo. Dye is also a good alternative, and it is pretty simple to do it yourself. (You are never supposed to do this though because of the risk of blindness.) Whatever you choose, don't use black though. Black brows can give you a Groucho Marx kinda vibe if they aren't natural.

    Best of Luck!
