For fair-haired girls, grey-brown, red, ash and dark grey colours are suitable, the specific shade depends on the tone of the hair.
Brown-haired women should choose brown and dark brown shades.
Dark-skinned, raven-skinned brunettes can use pure black, while black-brown should be preferred for light skin.
Important to remember: Black shade can only be used for black eyebrows and only for dark-skinned brunettes, otherwise your face will look frankly drawn. For colourless brows, it is recommended to use a light grey colour that gives the brows a natural look.
