Difference between deep brunette brow and light brunette

Post by corinne76 » Fri Mar 22, 2013 9:53 pm

Is the light MUCH lighter? I'm looking for more a medium brown. The medium brown cream is close, maybe a tad light but I prefer the powder. The color in the swatch didn't seem that dark but when I tried the sample of the dark brunette, it is way too dark.

edit to add: If I want to stick with the deep brunette, would I just add some ivory foundation to lighten it?
I use medium ivory. Is that too heavy?

Sorry for all the questions. i've been using Maybelline brow powder for years and it's being discontinued so I'm on the hunt for the perfect color.

My concern about adding a white powder to something dark would be getting it blended well enough that it looked right. I almost wonder if it would be easier to add a slightly darker powder on top of the Light Brunette if it was not dark enough.

If we need a shade in between the two, it would be worth adding it to the wish list.

Thanks jen. I ordered both deep and light and will play around with mixing the two. I suspect i only need a little light brown. A medium brow powder would be perfect i think
