Product or treatment for very fair eyebrows?

11 replies

MerylSqueak · 20/12/2025 11:51

I'm very fair and have always pencilled my eyebrows in a bit and tidied the up with tweezers. I'm now greying and my eyebrows, though still fair, are unevely coloured and I think I need something different but I don't want to waste money. Is there a product you would recommend? I usually use an ashy brown. Would a powder be better than a pencil?

I really don't like the bold, dramatic look of some treatments like microblading but I'm not very well up on what all the different treatments are. The publicity photos tend to use darker eyebrows than mine so it's hard to work out what they would look like on me

What could I try that's affordable?

Following as I have very blonde eyebrows that look invisible unless I have them dyed, but they look too brown then IYSWIM, but looks better than invisible

I have very fair eyebrows and use Benefit's eyebrow pencils (I like Goof Proof and Gimme Brow) in no. 1, which is the lightest colour. I'd love to have them dyed so I don't have to do it every day but I've never seen blonde eyebrows dyed in a way that looks natural, the colour is always too warm and brown or just overall too dark.

Dye them! It’s incredible. Go to a salon and have a light brown tint and wax and then see how you like it

then you can do it home. Dybrow from eyelure is what I use. I then use a revolution micro pencil to re shape them and fill them
in and then sweep
over with a dry fluffy brush

I have mine tinted as I have a reasonable amount of grey now and my eyebrows otherwise don't need any filling in.
The lady who does it literally leaves it on for 30s to get the right shade for me and the first time did even less then another go to work out what I like

I have blonde/gingery brows and most things are too dark. This is great in shade 2.

Thank you for those recommendations. Maybe I'll be brave and try a wax and tint in the new year but I'm so worried about looking silly.

I'll give the Benefit a go first.

This is great, really easy to use, and you can get a dark blonde one. I use the mid brown one and it looks natural and doesn’t stain the skin.

The first time you have your eyebrows tinted you will think they are far too dark and you look like an angry man. But after washing your face a couple of times you'll get used to it and they will look much more natural.

Just trying to warn you so you don't cry in the waxers chair!

Agree with this - I looked like Ming the Merciless in my head (nobody else seemed to notice!).
