It’s hard to know where to begin sometimes.

Here’show to find the best eyebrow color for you.

New York City makeup artistDelina Medhinagrees: “Brows are so personal.”

When picking an eyebrow color for her clients, Medhin first looks at their hair and skin color.

Fellow makeup artistTommy, also based in New York City, concurs.

“I look to the root color of my talent’s hair.”

Or if you have a deep skin tone, a light-colored powder probably won’t appear at all.

“This helps me gauge how intense or soft to go,” she explains.

“I also look at the forehead space,” she says.

“I will tend to create a softer fill if the forehead is smaller.”

In her opinion, the brow should be “enhanced but not overwhelmed.”

It’s time to determine how light or dark your brow product of choice should be.

Sticking to that rule, Sacks says, can help “camouflage” brow makeup into your hairs.

“Brow color should create density or more depth but not change the brow’s tone.”

Here’s where your skin depth comes into play.

The biggest exception to that rule, Medhin clarifies, is redheads.

“That is the time I lean towards a warm pencil,” she says.

If you have naturally dense and/or dark brows, you’ll have more leeway to pack on more product.

If you like dark and bold, do dark and bold.

If you like lightweight and low-key, do that.

If you generally prefer warm over cool colors or vice versa, wear those.
