Wouldn't it be nice if finding the perfect shade of eyebrow pencil was simply a matter of matching your hair color?

In reality, scoping out your ideal hue can feel like a never-ending odyssey since your brows are meant to complement not match your hair.

So, in an effort to cut out the guesswork, we found a few tips that may work for you.

If you have dark hair and find taupe isn't blending in perfectly, keep in mind that many brow pencils that look like they’d be right for you might actually be unsuitable.

So try and swipe multiple options on your hand to get a good idea of the shades before purchase.

If your hair is brunette or black, you'll also want to stick with pencils that have a cool even gray ish undertone to them.
