Instead, we recommend darker browns and charcoals to help accentuate your warm and neutral tones.

Your eyebrow pencil should match your natural hair color. Unfortunately, this sometimes mean you might need to mix and match a few shades to get that perfect shade.
The color listed on the brow filler should have “warm” or “neutral” listed on it. For example warm blonde, or neutral brown. Avoid colors that are marked “cool.”
