African American Beauty Tips
Light-Complexion
Eyeshadow and Brow Colors
Eyebrows:
Light browns or even blond shades are the best colors to fill in and shape your brow if there is not enough hair to complete the shape. Black or a Dark Brown tend to be too harsh to fill your brows with. Your hair color plays a part in what color you choose to fill in your brow with. Try going with a lighter brow color than your hair. It tends to look less harsh when the brows are lighter. Try using the brow groomer brush to blend the color so that you will not have a “drawn in” brow.
Eyeshadows:
These swatches are a good starting point for you in determining what colors work for the African American beauty with light complexion.

Quick Tip: Your looks also vary not only by the color of the eye shadow but by the shape of your eye. Be careful to NOT to bring the color too high onto the brow bone area.
