Re: Those of you with black brows, what color shadow to fill them in?
I have black(ish) eyebrows they're not super dark or anything but I fill them in with MAC's Spiked eyebrow pencil and Embark eyeshadow. I've used Espresso before and thought it was a little too dark for my tastes. I want to try Mystery though because sometimes I think Embark is too dark -- a little red but then again I used to have dark red/brown highlights in my hair and it looked good, so I think Mystery might be better for me.

If your hair (eyebrows and the hair ontop of your head) is super, super dark and those don't work, you could use Carbon. I've seen girls (MAs at local counters/stores -- and girlies on here and LJ) use Carbon with a light hand and I think it looks good. I guess it depends on the amount of pressure you use and the brush.

HTH!

Re: Those of you with black brows, what color shadow to fill them in?
I have some black eyebrows and I don't feel them in with nething because they're so thick but my cousin fills her brows in with blacktrack. It doesn't look scary or anything but I guess it depends on the person's face and their hair and how you apply the blacktrack.

Re: Those of you with black brows, what color shadow to fill them in?
I also used Mystery when my brows were dark. I read somewhere if your hair is black your brows should be a tiny bit lighter and Mystery was great b/c it didn't make them look too harsh. I think Carbon will look too harsh.

Re: Those of you with black brows, what color shadow to fill them in?
If your brows are actually black, why not use a eye brow pencil instead of a shadow? Try Spiked or Veveltone. I think its a better alternative than eye shadow, personally.

Re: Those of you with black brows, what color shadow to fill them in?
I use Bateau, which was from the Sundressing collection. Dark matte brown.

But, if I didn't have that, I'd most likely get Mystery. Hell, I might get it anyway, just because it seems like it might be a slightly closer match.

Re: Those of you with black brows, what color shadow to fill them in?
my brows are jet black - and there's a spot on my right brow that needs filling because hair wont grow in that one spot. I usually just take a dark eye pencil from hot topic, or I use maybelline's unstoppable pencil because it wont smudge! :]

Re: Those of you with black brows, what color shadow to fill them in?
thoguh many people witgh black brows fill with mystery [brown], i prefer to keep my eyebrows natural looking.. i dont want black/brown brows since i have black black hair (im asian).. so i use a gray shadow, which isnt too overpowering or unnatural looking

Re: Those of you with black brows, what color shadow to fill them in?
Another Brun user. I keep trying other products but I always go back to Brun. Another trick I use is that if I'm using Blacktrack to line my eyes, the residual product on the brush is great for brows. It's just enough to fill in without making you look like Morticia.

Re: Those of you with black brows, what color shadow to fill them in?
NARS Bali. It's more of a cool brown, with none of the red tones a lot of browns can have, so it looks a lot more natural. Reddish or golden browns look weird in contrast with the black brow on me, esp. if they fade a little. Black shadow looks too harsh (my brows are dark and thick enough already!).

Re: Those of you with black brows, what color shadow to fill them in?
I use drug store brand dark grey eye shadow. In fact I also use the sponge application in it to fill my eb since they are "wide" to fill with pencils. Hope you find the right one for you.

Re: Those of you with black brows, what color shadow to fill them in?
i'm asian and have jet black hair and black eye brows. i've found that the most natural look is to use a charcoal grey eyeshadow or pencil. it creates a truer shade that matches my actual brow color.
