    Default temporarily lighten eyebrows

    i am thinking of buying a blond wig and i know from when i dyed my hair blond my eyebrows are a bit too dark for it.
    Is there a way to temporarily lighten the eyebrows? I don't want to do it permanantly as i will just be wearing the wig at work.
    Thanks for any info xx

    I use hair bleach with some cornstarch added to lighten my eyebrows (I dye my hair red). You could just pencil in your brows outside of work. It's much easier to darken temporarily than lighten temporarily.

    Otherwise, use a brow cover, like this: http://www.tgcosmetics.com/makeover/makeoverBrow.htm
    Once you've covered the brow, you can pencil over in whatever color and shape you'd like.

    Just a word of warbibg.. I dye my dark brown hair golden blende and had them try to do my eyebrows at the salon and they usually look okay in the salon and then by the endof he week they oxidize and turn orange and look rediculous. If u r going to attempt to dye them make sure that you leave a straight up ash green toner on them to get any brassy tones out. If you find out how to get them the perfect color please, please let me know. It has been an ongoing problem for me. It seems no one I can find realy knows how to do this. After about ten different tries to get this right they are close to light brown (slightly golden) and I had them waxed kind of thin so that way they weren't too obvious.
    I would rather do it permanent rather than temp. I don;t think you can temp lighten. Once it is bleached, it is bleached.

    If your hair's dark blonde, I suppose you can try rubbing in some natural lemon to make your brows a little lighter? Remember to exercise caution when using lemon juice near your eyes.
