Choosing the right brow & lash tint colour.

Start with your hair, not a chart

The most natural tint is the one that matches the roots of your own brows.

Your brow hair is often a different shade from the hair on your head, so match to the brows themselves. If you're blonde or grey, a soft taupe keeps things natural — brown reads too heavy. If you're a redhead, a warm brown suits you where black never will. If your hair is very dark, you can carry a richer brown on the brows and a soft black on the lashes.

Skin tone changes everything

Undertone matters as much as hair colour. Cool undertones (pink or blue) suit ash and neutral browns; a too-warm shade is what turns brows slightly orange. Warm undertones (golden or olive) suit warm and golden browns and can look flat under an ash shade. Deeper skin tones carry richer, darker browns beautifully. When the shade matches the undertone, a tint never goes orange or grey — it just looks like better brows.

Brows and lashes are different decisions

Brows frame the face, so subtlety wins — one shade darker than natural is plenty. Lashes are about definition, the mascara-without-mascara effect, so they can usually go darker than the brows. A common, flattering combination is a soft brown brow with a near-black lash. We'll talk it through and match both at your consultation.

How dark is too dark

The honest answer: pure black brows age almost everyone and read as drawn-on. Even with black hair, a soft black or dark brown looks more natural on the brow. If your brows are sparse, resist the urge to go very dark to "fill" them — a softer tint on the fine, colourless hairs makes the whole brow look fuller without looking solid. We can always build up gradually over visits.

What to ask for (and bring a photo)

You don't need the technical names. Bring a photo of brows you like, tell us if you've gone too dark or too orange before, and we'll mix the colour to suit your hair and skin and patch test it first. If you want a bigger change, WoW Brows combines shape, tint and fill in one sitting for a fuller, fluffier look.
