Color Eyebrows
A: Yes. However, while eyebrow hair is structurally similar to the hair on your head, you must never use standard box hair dye or scalp coloring products on your eyebrows. These products contain high concentrations of chemicals and developers designed for the scalp that can cause severe chemical burns, skin irritation, or permanent eye injury and blindness if they drip into the eyes.
Applying color to the eyebrows must be done carefully to minimize the staining of the skin underneath, which will be readily apparent. Coloring the eyebrows should always be done using a small brush applicator to give you better targeting and control. A small makeup spoolie or an angled brow brush is ideal for this purpose. For extra protection against skin staining, you can outline the perimeter of your brows with a thin layer of petroleum jelly before applying the color.
If it is necessary to lighten your eyebrows, DO NOT use standard hair bleaching agents, peroxides, or foil-lightening kits meant for the scalp. You should also avoid standard facial hair bleaching kits meant for the upper lip, as their fumes can severely irritate the eyes. Instead, use a gentle, dedicated eyebrow-lightening paste or see a licensed professional who uses specialized, eye-safe low-volume developers.
Finally, be sure to purchase a dedicated cosmetic color stain remover, or use a gentle oil-based makeup remover immediately after application. These products are designed to clean up accidental drips or misapplications on the skin without stripping the freshly deposited color from the hair itself. Accidental skin stains can otherwise last for several days through normal washing.
Choosing the right shade is also important. In most cases, eyebrow color looks the most natural when it is close to your natural brow color or only slightly darker. Very dark or overly warm shades can appear harsh and may not complement your hair color or skin tone. If you're unsure which color to select, it's generally better to choose a lighter shade, as you can always deepen the color with a future application if needed.
