Platinum grey hair - what colour should my eyebrows be?

[Silentplikebath]

I’m growing out my grey and it’s mostly a silvery, white/platinum. I won’t dye or tattoo my brows because my skin is sensitive (which is why I’ve stopped colouring my hair). I have cool toned pale skin with green eyes. My eyebrows are a sparse mix of grey, white and a few darker brown hairs. What colour should my eyebrow make up be?

I’ve tried a few pencils in taupe but the colour looks wrong on me. I like the benefit products but have no idea what to buy. Please me help lovely MN beauty experts!

I would say to go as close to your original eyebrow colour as possible, but use a very light touch.

@SecondTimeCharm thank you, that makes sense. I think I’ll try the benefit medium brown in a cooler tone as my brows were originally a cool toned brunette colour.

It's taken me YEARS to find my holy grail brow products for my platinum grey hair.

99.9% of all pencils called "Taupe" will be too red/warm.

99.9% of all actual cool-toned pencils will be too dark (i.e. black).

These are my two favourites:

Benefit Precisely My Brow in Cool Grey

and

Etude House Brow Pencil in #02 Gray/Brown (You can buy this on eBay for a few quid - I get 5 at a time).

@QuentinQuarantino thank you so much for those recommendations! How dark is the cool grey benefit product?

The only decent, truly cool-toned eyebrow pencil I have ever had was from Japan, and it was a grey one. The brand was unfortunately written in Japanese. (I’m blonde, but it works for me. It’s nearly dead, and I save it for special occasions)

It's mid grey with just enough brown to prevent it looking too ashy.

The best thing about it is that the nib is so fine that you can be really light-handed and precise in applying it so can either use it sparingly or build it up for a stronger brow.

I use mid brown Clarins eye shadow on the grey eyebrow hair, that way it looks more natural, pain in the ass doing every time, but it works for me.

@DoorstoManuel thank you for your suggestion of using eyeshadow. Is the mid brown Clarins eyeshadow a very cool toned colour? Most browns are far too warm toned for me.

I would get benifit precisely my brow it's really good

@jsfans and @QuentinQuarantino is the benefit precisely my brow better than the goof proof pencil which is also available in grey?

Thanks for your help!

Sorry for the delay in replying, I went to have a look........

DS and DH nobbled me for a bacon sandwich, then I put the chicken wings on to marinade for tonight, then I made myself a smoothie, then I remembered.

It is going to be one of those days...

The brown palette and the forest palette would do the trick for me.

I am Irish and so white my legs look like mozzarella.

My hair was originally very dark brown.

@DoorstoManual thank you for your reply. I’ve also got mozzarella legs

I’m so glad I started this thread as you’ve all been very helpful
