Mascara and ?brow make up for pale/blonde brows with reddish blonde hair and English Rose complexion

I have very pale brows and always look a bit washed out on photos despite make up so am wondering about using a little make up on them. I hate the current very obvious brow look and think it looks ridiculous so not after that. I want to keep it natural. Also hoping someone can recommend a brilliant mascara that's not black? Chanel used to do a bronze brown one that was lovely but sadly they stopped making it. I currently use L'Oréal million lashes waterproof mascara as has been the best one that doesn't end up smudged.
On a daily basis I wear foundation, face powder, mascara and if I'm feeling adventurous bronzer on my cheekbones. I'm a sahm so generally walking the school run and doing housework/running errands so no need for much make up. I'd just like to look a little less meh.
My hair is kind of golden-a mixture of soft reds and blondes. Eyes are blue, cheeks have a tendency to be flushed hence the foundation.

Any recommendations or suggestions? Smile

Wunderbrow do a range of colours including 2 blonde shades. It last 3 days if applied on clean dry skin/brows. Its £20 from boots and lots of YouTube vids on it. You could also use a blonde eyebrow pencil slightly darker than your natural brows and lightly go over your hairs
I suggest using a brown mascara or black brown if u cant find an actual brown one. Im Naturally v dark haired and even i use black brown mascara. Jet black mascara and liner is very ageing and a good make up artist would tell anyone that. If people used brown more instead of black they would be surprised at how much younger they look

I can highly recommend the Lancôme blonde brow pencil.

Mac brow pencil in Fling was recommended to me and I use that. It’s my eyelashes and eye make up that lets me down. Any brown eyeliner recommendations ?

I'm blonde & use Clinique soft blonde Superfine liner for brows.

Also like Boots no7 soft powder liner in brown as an eyeliner.
