Being a cosmetologist myself I would suggest that as long as you are wearing your eyeliner that dark that you use the taupe brow color as the blonde brow color is too different from the eyeliner so that it makes the eyeliner too harsh. The darker brow provides a better transition from your hair color to your eyeliner color. Now if you went with a lighter more natural eyeliner the lighter brow would be a better balance. If I were to do your makeup I would have you in the lighter liner and brow for day and the darker for going out or evening.

6 years later and this comparison video is still helpful. Thank you! I have natural ash blonde hair which has turned about 50% grey now. When I color I have cool toned blondes blended with my natural hair. So I’m always pondering over blonde vs taupe brow products. In this case I’m going with the taupe. Thanks a lot!
@staceylofgreen37908 жыл бұрын
I actually think the Taupe color looks better, but only because it seems to define your face a little more! The blonde seems a little more natural. Thank you for doing a comparison! It definitely helps to see them right up next to each other.

Basically 'Taupe' is for cool-toned blondes and the 'Blonde' is for warm-toned blondes.
@sherriehampton92879 жыл бұрын
How do u know which one u are?
@Sarzzy598 жыл бұрын
Well cool toned blondes are platinum or have an ashy undertone to their hair. And warm toned blondes have a strawberry blonde, almost ginger brown understone to their hair. But it depends on what your preferences are. I have platinum blonde hair but have ashy brown eyebrows so I prefer Taupe better.

When you outline with this product you want to outline from the bottom first starting just before your arch to the end, then take the remainder of that and feather the rest of the line. Top line, start in the same area. Just before the arch to the tip, fill it in. Feather the inner corners to create a natural fade. Do not fill in the rest of the top line. Do not block it off. Match the inner edge to your tear duct with your brush handle.

I agree the blonde works better for you. I found the taupe was better for me, but my hair is a little darker. I also use an angled brush, but I find the stiffer the brush, the better. I don't have as much fine control with a softer brush. Less is definitely more with this product and brushing it through with a spoolie brush is a must!

I like this product, but torn between dark brown and chocolate. As you said with the more ashy color, it works well with some grey hairs (dark brown is ashy, while chocolate is warm to red). On you, the blonde looks good as a daytime color, while the taupe would probably really work well for nights out on the town and formal wear (it's a bit more of a dramatic look on you, yet very nice!). Don't forget that you can always use this product as an eyeliner, also. Thank you!

This is exactly what I have been looking for, because I have really cool toned hair (and also skin.) and I find that most eyebrow products are too warm and look unnatural on me.

My hair has a light golden brown-ish color. At Sephora, I tried both the taupe and blonde. With my hair, I first thought I'd probably need the blonde color, but it looked too orange-y on me! The taupe does have cooler undertones, but I feel like it balances everything out and looks better on me without being too orange-y like the other color. Anyway, there's my two cents :) I'd recommend trying on the colors so you know for sure which you need!

I don't think you can say the 'undertone' is blonde. Theyre both blonde but with one warmer undertone and the other cooler. With that said, the warmer one def makes your face pop more, whereas the cooler one makes the eyebrow itself pop off your face - hint: the former is what I prefer. :)

My seller girl in the beauty shop teached me how to use and apply this product like this: take some product on your pencil, then close jar and put all you can on the top of the jar. Then use that top as your palette. Take little bits to first, outline the bottom of your eyebrow (try to follow your natural brow line, even if you've lost some hairs with the years). And then fill up your brow as light as possible, and try to draw in some fake hairs where they're missing. Swap off the remaining product from the top and put back in jar. Use rubbing alcohol to clean pencil and top of jar afterwards on a cotton thingie. Sorry for my english but I hope it helps some of you
