Have you ever seen a girl with bright blonde hair and dark eyebrows and thought, “Wow, that looks funny!”? When most people get their hair dyed, they don’t even stop to think about the color of their eyebrows. I’m not sure why it is, but the thought just doesn’t occur to most people that the colors won’t match! If you think about it logically, mismatching combos just don’t seem to mesh well! You wouldn’t want your roots showing up as drastically, would you? I didn’t think so.

But what can you really do? You can’t dye your eyebrows, right? Wrong! Eyebrows can be dyed; and most stylists will be willing to help you out. Now, this is something you will need to keep up on, but if you have it done each time you head in to get your roots touched up, you should be okay!

Eyebrows dyed a shade or two lighter or darker than your hair color look excellent. They don’t have that fake look to them at all, and they blend in very nicely with your new color. Alternatively, if you have light brows and are heading to a darker shade, you can easily cover them up with an eyebrow pencil. No one will ever know that you have to do it; it can be your little secret!

Trying to figure out your eyebrow shape is tricky. Your eyebrows are one of the most prominant features on your face. Personally I feel there is a recent trend to over-groom and trim eyebrows, which is a mistake. If more women took the time to research and actually see how their own eyebrow should be shaped, rather than just attacking it with the tweezers, they would probably be happier with their results.

I found a great video that shows how to line up a stick with various parts of your eye and face in order to determine where your brows should be. Pay close attention to when she says line it up with your “iris” or the outer corner of the tear duct. And then just be careful not to over-do it!
