Brow tips for blondes

I love having blonde hair, but sometimes it can be a nightmare. I recently did a post about hair care for 

blondes, which can be a tricky task to uphold. The same as this post - brows. For so long I struggled with 

my brows. Whether it was being too heavy handed, them being too cool or warm in comparison to my hair 

or them just looking absolutely awful. We definitely all went through a stage at some point, where our 

brows looked awful and I could only wish that I read something like this when I started.

Having blonde hair means that it can be really difficult to find the right shade, as there are so many 

different variations and tones of blonde hair. My hair is a mixture of a dirty blonde with a golden 

undertone, making it more warm. A few years ago I heard that if you have light hair you can go 2 shades 

darker with your brow products, and if you have dark hair then you can go 2 shades lighter. I have stuck 

with this rule and that has allowed me to get a base line for what shades I should be using on my brows.

Golden, warm hair - light or blonde brow products

Ashy, cool hair - taupe or blonde brow products

Darker, dirty blonde - taupe or light brown brow products

Once you have found your shade, you're then faced with the challenge of choosing which product to use. 

This is why it's important to know what kind of brow look you like and think suits your face the best. I 

personally like a more defined natural looking brow, so I choose a pencil. This helps me have complete 

control and precision when it comes to how natural or bold I'd like my brows. However not all brow 

pencils are the same, even if they're from the same brand, so don't be afraid to try multiple brands out but 

also multiple products from the same brand, as they're all so different. 

I have tried so many brow pencils over the years and I am currently loving the XX Revolution fauXX 

brow pencil and the Loreal brow artist Xpert brow pencil. However I am not a fan of the XX Revolution 

XXfine micro brow pencil or the Loreal high control brow pencil. The brow pencils I like have a thicker 

nib which I prefer as I find them easier to control, whereas the finer nib pencils are a lot harder to use.

Pencils - defined, precise and clean brow

Pomades - bold more intense brow

Powder - soft and natural brow

Gel/mascara - adds texture and sets in place

KEY BROW TIPS

- Don't over pluck your brows

- Consider different methods

- Remember less is more

- ALWAYS blend

- Start of light, you can always add more

- Don't be afraid to use multiple shades
