If you had bright orange hair and fair eyebrows, what eyebrow pencil would you use?

I am trying to find something to fill in and define my brows that won't be too dark or heavy. Doesn't have to be a pencil, I've been looking at the kits that include wax and powder but I need to find a good shade. (Has anyone used the Urban Decay brow kit? A colleague recommended it and she has amazing eyebrows but I feel like I need other opinions as it's quite pricey!)

My natural hair colour is strawberry blonde but I dye it very bright red/orange and without filling in my eyebrows I look like a thumb Blush

I'm trying to steer away from the scouse brow look which my current brow pencil seems to give me (half down to the colour being too dark, half to my poor application skills!)

The hair at the start of my eyebrows is very sparse due to overplucking as a teen so when I fill them in they're normally completely drawn in and fake looking. I'd like to go for something more subtly and natural looking like the girls in the picture (is that Hayden Panettiere? I literally just googled "nice eyebrows" and it was one of the first picture that came up!) I can never seem to get the start right and they always look too heavy. I'm very pale and I think the dark eyebrows age me a lot!

Can anyone offer any suggestions? I'm on a pretty tight budget but would probably pay a little more for a Holy Grail eyebrow product Grin

Superdrug MUA do one of those brow kits with the powder and wax, the palest colour in it would probably be the sort of thing you need. I use it because I struggle to get a natural look with a pencil. Worst case scenario, if you don't like it you haven't wasted too much money, I think it's about £4.

Treacle I didn't know they did them! My local Superdrug has an MUA so I'll pop in tomorrow and see if they have it Smile I must admit I do love MUA, £1 for a lipstick is a bargain and I love their eyeshadows! Although their stay matte powder was a bust Hmm thanks for replying!

I think if I were you I'd have them tinted so all that's needed is a little filling in.

Rimmel eyebrow pencil in Hazel. Best ever and about £2.99.

I've tried everything - including expensive products - I think the powder and wax things just make you end up with gunky eyebrows.

I think they Hazel would suit you but they do an even lighter one I think.
