My eyebrows are too fair and sparse to frame my face, but every powder, gel, or pencil I try seems to look too severe. Am I picking the wrong products, or am I truly out of options? The challenge is to find a hue that matches your natural hair but that’s one to two shades darker, along with an applicator that will be your brows’ friend, not foe. Pencils get dull and can draw on too thick, and gels take concentrated effort to avoid them looking cake-y. Hues made to match fair hair can often can skew red or ash grey so, needless to say, we understand your dilemma—but you’re not out of options yet! Urbanbrow Precision-Tip Brow Tint by Urban Decay ($24, at Sephora and select Shoppers Drug Mart locations) comes in two “universal” tints, “Blonde” and “Brunette,” with an ultra fine–tipped applicator to shape brows with feather-light precision. “Blonde” is super light and ideal for the fairest brows or those that need just a subtle filling in, and “Brunette” suits every single brow in between.
