If your hair color is too light for your eyebrows, try a few easy tricks to lighten eyebrows: naturally, with makeup or with hydrogen peroxide.
If you want to lighten eyebrows at home, the first thing you
should know is that coloring is better left to the experts. Try a
few other ways to lighten your eyebrows, naturally or with makeup,
that don't involve hair dye or hydrogen peroxide.
When you're perfectly happy with your new hair color, but the
eyebrows don't really match or feel too dark, you can try to
lighten your eyebrows with a few simple tricks before reaching for
the bleach.
How to Lighten Eyebrows at Home
The easiest way involves regular facial bleach cream, used to
lighten the hair on the upper lip by many women. Before applying it
to your eyebrows, do a simple test on your jawline and let it sit
for a minute. If there are no major side effects, you can apply
gently on your eyebrows and use a timer. Do each brow separately.
In order to be sure you're not letting the cream on for too long,
compare and see if you should apply more than once.
How to Lighten Eyebrows with Makeup
Make your eyebrows look lighter with a few easy makeup tricks,
starting with a simple colored eyebrow gel. Use a product with a
strong tint for darker eyebrows. A tinted eyebrow powder with a
matte finish can have similar effects, but stay away from any type
of glitter unless it's for a dramatic evening look.
Using a lighter eyebrow pencil color can also make your lashes look
better. Even if they're completely black, use a taupe pencil color
to get a new glow.
How to Lighten Eyebrows Naturally
Eyebrows should never be colored with regular hair dye and before
coloring them at the salon, try an easy natural method. Mix equal
parts chamomile tea and lemon juice and gently apply to your
eyebrows daily for gradual and natural results.
How to Bleach your Eyebrows
Bleaching your eyebrows is usually done with a 3% hydrogen peroxide
solution poured on a cotton swab. If you're trying to lighten your
eyebrows for the first time, you might only want to keep it on for
a couple of minutes, or just swab each eyebrows daily for a more
gradual change in color.
Whether you decide to lighten your eyebrows with hydrogen peroxide,
with a more natural way or have them dyed at a salon, don't expect
a big change at first and don't overdo it, because they shed faster
than regular hair and you might end up with a messy look. You
shouldn't ask for exactly the same color as your hair, as that
combination tends to wash out your features.
