Hi ladies

I'm wanting to buy some eyebrow gel but not sure which shade to go for? It comes in light/medium or medium/deep. Here's a photo of my eyebrow (haha) to help

Thank you Flowers

The advice I always follow is to pick up the top part of my hair just above my ear and see what colour my hair is. That's the colour I do my eyebrows and it seems to work.

Light/medium - with your light hair, I think medium/deep will get too dark.

You could also consider having your brows tinted or using a matte eyeshadow with an angled brush and a spoolie brush (the mascara wand type).
My hair and skin tones are similar to yours, and I like Mac Omega and Mac Mystery (Mystery used with a very light hand and really just on the hairs, not on the skin).

A lot of brow products, specially the lighter tones, can look too warm so it would probably be worth having a good look at them in a shop before buying.

oh so its a colour! Right. that reminds me - i had a make over at bobbi brown the other day. She used a dark brown on me. like a mascara

I prefer the accuracy of a shadow with a brush tbh

i have a BB dark brown in Mahogany. It might be worth going in to see

Def light/medium. Your brows are fair not dark.
