Those of you with black brows, what color shadow to fill them in?

[Tawanalee]

Espresso? Cork?

 

[simplycathy]

I fill mine in with mystery. HTH!

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!

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.

Anastasia brow powder duo in brunette. But I am Not buying this again it's expensive and it's cheap quality. But the colors work!

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.

i've also used Mystery - but ran out a while back. been using my Smut (with a light hand) and it looks fine to me.

 

[MACHOMULA]

i use brun

 

[d_flawless]

when i had super dark brown hair i used to use embark since carbon's so damn dark and can wash you out

 

[iluvmac]

I use Mac Brow Shader, colour Walnut/Ivory: it's my HG!

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.

 

[mac-me-up]

mystery e/s looks great

 

[jenii]

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.

 

[contrabassoon]

I've found that Mystery looks great on dark eyebrows.. but only sparingly since my eyebrows are already dark

 

[Chinay]

I use Mystery e/s...love it!

 

[PolyphonicLove]

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! :]

 

[saj20052006]

I used Spiked Brow Liner or Brown Down E/S

 

[lvgz]

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

 

[MiCHiE]

I use Milani Cocoa pencil.

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.
