Gray is the New Black (for Eye Brows, that is)

I used to make the mistake of using black or brown to color in my eyebrows. Then I learned a better alternative from a makeup artist who is of Vietnamese descent. She taught me to use gray instead. This has been an invaluable tip.

When selecting a brow pencil, choose a gray. My sister is a fan of Lancome Le Crayon Poudre – Powder Pencil for the Brows in Sable or simply opt for gray eyeshadow. For those looking to try something new, look into Besame Masterliner Eye Brow Pencil, which comes in gray and taupe. The brow pencil pictured above is the Besame liner.

While we’re on the matter of eyeshadows, deep green looks amazing on Asians. Also, always have a brown on hand.

If you’re hesitant about the gray and want to remain with the more conservative brown, then compromise with a brown-gray color, such as NARS Eyebrow Pencil in Jodhpur.
