Brows | June 02, 2020
Eyebrows act as the focal point of the face; perfectly shaped and colored eyebrows bring about the right kind of attention to the face. For these reasons, it is always essential to shape the eyebrow with precision and choose an eyebrow color that compliments the other facial features. While the perfect shape for eyebrows can be achieved with microblading and eyebrow tattoo techniques, the right color needs to be selected with care.
Choosing the right eyebrow color will not only make your eyebrows defined but will also make them appear fuller. Choosing the right eyebrow shade is not an easy task as there are a lot of underlying factors that need to be paid attention to before picking out a shade that suits your entire appearance. Our experts primarily focus on the hair color and skin tone to pick the right eyebrow shade.
Skin Tone
It is important to recognize the skin undertone to choose the accurate eyebrow color. People with a pink undertone, which burn easily but do not tan quickly are on the cool side of the spectrum and can opt for cool eyebrow colors. People with olive or yellow undertones, and who tan easily can opt for warm eyebrow colors. Those who have a mix of both cool and warm undertones and are on the neutral side of the spectrum can opt for both warm or cool eyebrow colors.
Hair Color
Another important feature to factor in before choosing an eyebrow shade is the hair color.
Blonde Hair
The common mistake is to go for a sharp color when you have a lighter hair color. The startling contrast is not always appealing and can give you an inharmonious appearance. Instead, the aim is to select a brow color that is closest to the base tone (darkest tone) of the hair and then using the same shade for your eyebrow.
Brown Hair
People with brown hair can get a brow color within a shade or two of the darkest part of their hair. You can also opt for dark brows if you want a defined and sharp look. However, if you want a more natural look, it is advisable to go slightly lighter than the base tone.
Dark Brown or Black Hair
It is not advisable to pick the same shade as the hair color if you have dark brown or black hair. The dark color may appear as fake or overly done in such cases. Rather, the better choice is to pick a medium brown or ash shade according to your preferences.
Auburn or Red Hair
People with orange or red hair should not try to match their eyebrow color with their hair color. These colors may highlight the brows inappropriately; instead, you should opt for cool eyebrow tones, which will give you a defined and warm look that is harmonious with your hair color.
The certified artists in our specialty eyebrow clinic can educate you about your skin undertone and can help you pick an eyebrow color from a palette of cool, warm, and neutral tones. There are different options like semi-permanent brows and eyebrow tattoo techniques to help achieve the perfect brows. Eyebrow color is a feature that has to be perfected with care as it draws instant attention to the face and also carves out the other facial features.
