I'm 48 years old and my eyebrows have a lot of gray in them. Can I have some suggestions on how to cover them up? I use to pluck them but I'm getting way too many now to do that. What do others do to make them blend in? Thanks for your help!

Hi! Depending on your eyebrow color besides the gray and your haircolor, you can use a pencil, I use the wet and wild one in taupe to just fill them a little and make them even, it matches my brows perfect. You can try NYC browser, it comes in light and dark brown with wax to hold them in place. Also smashbox makes a good one in a few colors,that might match you. You'll have to experiment, try a cheap one first till you get the hang of it, and the color match.

The easiest solution would be to dye them. Especially if the grey hairs are overtaking the large portion of your eyebrows. You can also try to use eyebrow pencil or mascara to cover the grey up. But I think that the dye looks and does the job the best.

Good idea ladylynn,I once read if you dye your hair at home and you want your eyebrows to match,just wet a q-tip with the dye and be careful not to get it in your eyes.I suppose you can have them done professionally too.

I have very over tweezed brows and I'm missing part of one. I use Brow Defining Powder. It is a brush-on powder that darkens and enhances eyebrows for absolutely defined brows. I do believe it covers the few grays I'm starting to get too. The colors it comes in are: Taupe - Blond to medium hair colors; Mink Brown - Medium brown to black hair colors; Soft Black - Black hair color. It's really inexpensive and I get it at any drug store cosmetic counter. It comes in a small palette with an angled brush.
