Tips & Warnings
As you get older, your eyebrows will begin to grey so adding a little color will highlight your facial features and lessen the signs of aging. Just be careful to not make them too dark.
Blondes can go a shade or two darker on their eyebrows.
Be extremely cautious not to get any hair color in your eyes during this process.
