Hey I am Persian, have fair skin, blue eyes & black/dark brown hair. Someone told me that if u dye eyebrows a shade lighter, it looks better..is that true? At Bobbi Brown makeup, they said just to use a small brush and dab in some dark brown shadow to intensify the eyebrows and make they look nice. Is it good idea to do this? I don't think dying them would be good..they are black/ very dark brown, like my hair…any advice?

Actually, yes, if you have dark hair, your eye brows should be a couple of shades lighter than the hair color. It helps soften the look. You don't need to dye your brows to achieve that. Many tinted brow gels are available these days, go for one that's meant for brunettes. And as for intensifying your brows, if they have visible gaps in them, then do get those filled with a brow pencil or eye shadow. But if your brows are nice and full, you can skip that step.

Lighter eyebrows - I don't think so! I have pale skin, very dark eyes and dark brown hair and eyebrows and I use pencil to make them look even darker! Because the dark/light contrast between eyebrows and skin looks beautiful. You want your eyebrows to go with your hair if you lighten them they don't look natural - I've seen it on people. You would have to dye your hair too and that would be a shame!
They know their business at Bobbi Brown! I personally use No.7 brow pencil. I'm on a budget and this the only inexpensive pencil that stays on I found. Great brush too!

Lighter brows work for some, not for everyone. Do you like the way your brows look? If your hair is very dark, dark brows probably just look right. A little grooming (neatening the shape and maybe a bit of gel for emphasis) is most likely all you need.

Powder is always best no matter what your hair color is, it give you a more natural look and you cant tell if you did anything to your eyebrows,and your eyebrows tie your face together more.
dying them would be a bad idea
