Decision made, decided to lighten my brows!! Pics attached - verdict??

post #1 of 31
Thread Starter 
Further to my thread asking for help with makeup to make my brows lighter... (big thank you for all the honest replies & also the make up tips, will bare them in mind )

Well after much indecision over it, I decided that I was initially right to think they were a bit too dark, and although I by no means try to look like a natural blonde (I have two tone hair, and not so long ago I also had pink & purple stripes - so I never make out to be 'blonde' ). Even so, I didn't want the 'harsh' look that the platinum hair & really dark brows was giving...

So, I decided to lighten them and here are the results - hope you like! Let me know what you think

I made this a seperate thread as when I was searching I couldn't find any before & after pics to help me make my mind up - so hopefully this may help someone else out in the future...

Another couple of BEFORE pics:


as you can see, if I filled my brows in even a little bit, they started to look too dark:


Now the AFTER pics:

Thank you

I am thrilled, they turned out even better than what I wanted - and it does seem to make a huge difference doesn't it. I haven't had my fiance's verdict yet (he's not home).... waiting to see what he thinks

I also prefer your lightened eye brows, although it is a personal decision

I have very dark eye brows myself and blonde hair - I sometimes lighten them, too. It depends on how I feel - the dark natural eye brows look more "dramatic" if you can say so.

Your brows look great lightened! It really softened up your face and allows for the focus to be on your other beautiful features instead! Awesome!

Thank you all, for all the positive comments. I'm pleased I went for it

Incase anyone is interested (or for those who might search & find this thread in the future) - I used the gentle version of Jolen facial bleach (the one with aloe vera in), and applied as per the instructions but checking every 30sec-1 min by wiping it off, and reapplying till it reached the desired shade.

UPGRADE!

i think when your hair is that light, you almost always have to lighten your brows or else they'll look too harsh.

looks awesome! the very dark brows and pale hair makes for a harsher look - the paler brows really complement you and this new look is great!

Very nice...the lighter brows are not as harsh. Good decision!

Re: Decision made, decided to lighten my brows!! Pics attached - verdict??

I like your brows lighter! They look great that shade and it makes you look more 'natural' if that makes sense, like it gives the illusion your hair colour could be your own and not dyed.
