I remember my mom getting her hair done back in the day by my aunt, the entire family's resident cosmetologist. Toward the end of the hair-dye processing time, my aunt would always sweep a little of the color on my mom's brows to enhance their tone.
What do you think about dying, or should I say coloring eyebrows? Is it an essential step in creating a cohesive look, or do you prefer to leave your brows natural?

Haha my boring black hair matches my boring black eyebrows.
I think it's okay if they don't match though; to be honest I don't even notice.
1Oh no no no. I find it a jarring and not very natural look.
2I don't color my eyebrows (or my hair), but I've been told I should lighten them. Personally I like the strong, dark brow look.
3Thanks Bella! Her eyebrows were driving me nuts watching the Oscars...I think they are really dark for her blonde hair. It looks like they were dyed darker too. If you have smaller brows, you can get away with not matching. If they are strong and bold, it looks off to me. I don't think we'll see Camilla Belle going blonde, but keeping her dark brows.
4My hair and brows are naturally the exact same colour, but i make them a bit darker when i wear make up.
5My brows are naturally very light compared to my dark blonde hair. I use a pencil or brow powder to define them- but I don't aim to make them darker to match my hair. I just like them visible!
6I have never dyed my hair or brows. I have light/thin eyebrows, so I fill them with powder.
7but I meant to add that I love the lip color in this photo.
8Not needed...
9I naturally have darker eyebrows than my haircolor, actually they are much darker. I do get highlights in my hair and I like the look of the darker eyebrows and the way that they standout!
10I would never consider doing this.
11My hair isn't a drastically different color so that would be pointless, but I like the way light blonde hair can look with dark eyebrows, specifically if the eyebrows are strong.
12I did it once when I colored my hair auburn. I'm a brunette so when the color started to grow out, my brows looked like tiger stripes. Such a bad idea.
13My hair is naturally blond and I have dark brown/black eyebrows. My eyebrows are also naturally on the thin side so the color is not that intense to warrant lightening the color. Now I dye my hair brown and it matches me eyebrows for the most part. I actually like lighter hair with a dark brow
14My eyebrows are a nice light brown that work when my hair is red, blonde, brown ... whatever!
15my hair is vibrant red and my eyebrows are my natural color(a dark blonde) It doesn't look bad. Sometimes I fill them in with a taupe eyebrow pencil.
red eyebrows would look terrible
16I think sometimes it is necessary, but not always. I don't dye my hair so I don't have this problem, but I have seen people that dye their hair and then their eyebrows just look so wierd and don't match. I don't think they should be the exact color, but something that goes (like Kate's)...
17I have medium brown hair and dark brown eyebrows. When I was a redhead, I did the eyebrows once, but it didn't really take. When I was a blond, I dyed them a little lighter, so that it wasn't such a big difference. But it's a personal preference!
18I went through a phase where I actually wanted my eyebrows to be sparser and lighter (I have black hair). Mika Nakashima works the hell out of that look.
19i don't dye my brows, but i do use the anastasia brow powder duo. i'm naturally a brunette, but dye my hair red, and the strawburn duo is the PERFECT shade. no one knows i'm not a natural redhead!
20Mine match seeing as I have never died my hair before.
21I have thick, black eyebrows and eyelashes and naturally dark blond hair. I've been told to lighten my brows and I vacillate between my natural hair color and dark brown hair (to match my brows). I like the contrast between my natural hair and brows, and I would never consider dyeing them because I love the way they frame my light eyes, not matter what color my hair is
22Never actually
23Actually the other way around. I started getting white eyebrow hairs in my late 30s and now in my late 40s, they really need some help. I use brow powder and lighten my dark blond hair a bit. I don't look good with dark brows anyway and perfect, penciled-in brows just look so weird.
24I have before, but my eyebrows are darker then my hair. I probably wouldn't again, just in case I slip and get some in my eye.
25No I don't, I've never had the need to. My hair matches the colour of my eyebrows (similar to Gisele or Jennifer Aniston's hair colour), and I have really nice dark eyelashes.
26My mom wants me to dye my eyebrows lighter, because she likes the look of light hair&light eyebrows, but personally, I like my dark eyebrows.
27They're nearly black, and my hair is a light ash blonde, so it's a big difference. It's all natural though, so it's funny when people automatically go and assume I'm not a natural blonde & point out my eyebrows.
No, I'll never do that!
28I fear putting dye that close to my eyes. Besides, I always stay kinda close to my hair color if I dye it
29Well my eyebrows are dark brown and my hair is black. But I actually think dark brows with blonde or red hair looks pretty cool.
30My natural colour (hair & eyebrows) is light ash brown. When I started dying my hair red (Julianne Moore like) I did not dye my eyebrows and the contrast was not flattering at all - not because the brows were darker but because the two colours were so different. Then I started dying them a medium warm honey brown and the overall look is very natural and much more prettier.
31I suppose it's easier to match blonde and brown (they are more or less in the same "colour palette") but red and ash brown don't match.
As long as the eyebrows are darker than your hair its fine. I hate blondes who dye their hair dark but have light eyebrows. Its okay if your eyebrows are brown and your hair is light though
32I have very light eyebrows, and I like to dye my hair darker sometimes, so for me dying my eyebrows is appropriate and needed. For anyone that want's a safe and very gentle dye for your eyebrows I suggest betty beauty's bikini hair dye. It is meant for the hair down there, but some one told me it's great for eyebrows because of its sensitive and all natural formula

33That's what god made brow pencils for! I dyed my hair red once, and my hair lady slapped some of that crap on my brows. I looked like a pumpkin!
34I am going to dye my pixie cut a a bleach blonde when i have naturally dark brown hair (and dark eyebrows duh) but i plan on dying them a tad on the lighter side so it's not too contrasting. Not the full bleach blonde, but enough to look well coordinated.

36Since your eyebrows are normally naturally darker than your hair colour, it's best to leave them alone if you're lightening your hair, but dye them if you're darkening it.
37I think people should at least lighten their brows if they're going from dark hair colours to light. It just looks really tacky to have your hair be this light blonde and have your brows be nearly black. Not to mention distracting.
