African American Beauty Tips
Medium-Complexion
Eyeshadow and Brow Colors

Eyebrows:
Medium to light browns 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.
