brow color

Can anyone suggest a brow color for light to medium brown colored, thining brows. Thanks.

I think Karen is currently working on some products specifically for brows. With that said, I need a little more information on your hair/brow color to give a good recommendation for a matte brown eyeshadow. I know you mentioned medium brown, but would you say it is warm brown or a more neutral brown. (I guess I am really asking if there is any red or yellow to your medium brown.) For neutral brown brows I would go with eu-Taupe-ia, and for a warmer brown, Mocha. I did this pic a while ago. Other options would be to lighten another matte brown with white foundation base. Terra is a bit of reddish brown, but might be too dark.

Thanks Jen for your reply. I think my brows are light to med. browm, maybe w/ a few grays, but I'm not sure b/c they are thinning so I have sparser areas closer to the nose and thinner at he ends-so I see some skin. My hair is lt. brown w/ warm red coloring. some from a bottle, lol. So I need to color as well as fill in, but i want a natural look. When I used Smashbox, I used blonde, but it was alittle light, of course then I didn't have thinning like now. So from the swatches-eu-taup-ia looks best?

It will be the most neutral. If it is too dark, the White base will help.

I know what you mean about wanting a natural look. I have a hard time with brow color myself, because my brows are practically black. Blacks and dark browns like Basalt look kind of harsh. I have to go a warmish taupey gray. My ideal color would be Moonstone without the shimmer. I am thinking I might try some of the others looking at my pic, though. Maybe Mousse?

Truffle *looks* very dark there, but it doesn't look dark when applied on/in my sparse, silvering brows. Don't know as this helps, but I'd 1st ordered Mousse with the same thing in mind, but Mousse was too light.

Truffle looks dark because the underside of my forearm is pretty fair! I bet Truffle is berfect for your brows, Mikie. Since I have such a huge color difference between my brows and skintone, it does get a little tricky. I am usually better off going lighter than my brows. I am sure I have enough browns at my house to come up with a good match for my brows.
