PLEasE heLP! Awful eyebrow tint job!

Hi everyone, so I went to the salon yesterday and got my eyebrows tinted, asking for light brown as I have ginger hair and really didn't want anything too dark (without product on my eyebrows I have insanely light blonde brows)... Too late for that because THEYRE BROWN/BLACK/GREY!

in other words - I feel ridiculous. I have tried head and shoulders to lighten them, tried fairy liquid, and I have exfoliated the eyebrow area to get tint off the skin - and I succeeded with that. However the problem that still remains is the fact that my eyebrow hairs are more or less black! Any suggestions on how to lighten them?

They don't look bad. The photo looks like a reasonable match for your hair. They seem to be warm Brown to me

They look really nice Smile

I think they look nice and very natural.

I went through this a couple of weeks ago.

I was making such a fuss and DP couldn't understand what I was on about. The kids didn't even notice.

I loved them after a few days.

They look really nice OP, really well done.

Diamogs · 07/08/2016 09:07

I think it's just noticeable to you. They look great OP.

PS have a great time away and don't worry about your brows - they are fleek as13 yo DD would say

They are honestly fine! And eyebrow hairs fall out and regrow really fast which is why they fade quickly

earthtoannie · 07/08/2016 09:21

Really? Thank you all - reassurance is what I needed!

They look really good, honestly!

It's usually a shock to you & you only when your eyebrows are tinted darker - you see them every single day in the mirror and have a fixed idea of what they are like.
To the rest of the world they look just fine!

Try doing your hair/make up etc as normal then take a picture of your whole face - looking at your whole face in a picture is different to looking at yourself in a mirror for some reason.

earthtoannie · 07/08/2016 09:29

I will do that! Thanks for lovely comments

Oh I think they look gorgeous and a lovely shape too.

burnishedsilver · 07/08/2016 11:28

They're a little dark much better than I was expecting. No one will stop and stare. You're just not used to them.

Getit · 07/08/2016 11:30

Nice brows

IncidentalAnarchist · 07/08/2016 11:32

earthtoannie · 07/08/2016 11:39

With all my makeup on I think it should be ok!

Honestly, I think they look great.

They look really good. All I would do is give a little extra definition on the inside edges with an eyebrow pencil. You eyebrows are fabulous!!! jealous

Gatekeeper · 07/08/2016 11:43

I think they look great- very natural and frame your beautiful eyes a treat Smile

HemanOrSheRa · 07/08/2016 11:50

They look lovely and they are a beautiful shape. It's just the shock of catching sight of yourself with these 'things' on your face!
