Learn the Secret to Beautiful Redhead Brows

Every week, we put out a call for your redhead questions. This gives you a chance to get advice or input from our team of redheads. From beauty and fashion to lifestyle, redheads are in a unique boat, and we want to help make this community a place where you can turn for all your redhead needs. 

This week, we’re addressing the question, “What’s the best color for my eyebrows? I have blonde brows.” Eyebrows are a common topic of discussion for redheads, particularly those of us with light or blonde brows. In fact, some individuals describe their brows as “invisible,” especially redheads with fair skin. So, what’s the ideal color? It’s important to note that the term “best” is subjective. Personal preferences vary, and different brow shades and shapes can uniquely accentuate various facial features.

1. Matching your hair color — sort of

While we may be biased, we believe brows a shade or two off your hair color create the most harmonious look. That’s why we developed our Universal Red shade for our brow products—it complements nearly every shade of red hair. Our tinted brow gels provide buildable color, allowing you to customize your perfect shade. Matching your brows to your hair color will help you achieve the most natural and balanced appearance.

2. How light or dark do you go? 

In beauty, a general guideline suggests that your brows should be within 1-2 shades of your hair color, often slightly darker. While darker brows can certainly complement redheads, we’ve found that brows 1-2 shades lighter can sometimes be even more flattering. The ideal shade largely depends on whether you prefer a more defined or softer look. Consider your overall makeup and wardrobe choices to help guide your decision.

3. Remember to keep it natural

While many redheads have naturally blonde brows, this may not always be the most flattering look. Brows play a crucial role in framing the face; adding color can help create balance. If you prefer a natural look, consider enhancing your brows with a clear brow gel. This will define and shape your brows without adding color.

4. The bottom line

The best brow is the one that makes you feel your best. We understand that beginning your brow journey can feel daunting, and using brow makeup for the first time can be surprising. Rest assured that you’ll discover your perfect shade and love your brows more than ever.
