Finding a color that works for blonds that isn't too dark or too yellow, is a trick.
Here are some favorites of mine that were collected over time:
Top to bottom:
Powder: Merle Norman -- Perfect shades when mixed and matched together;
Pencils: Chanel, Clinique, La Prairie, Prescriptives (love the tiny diameter and the tiny brush, also that it feeds up and doesn't need to be sharpened -- comes in only two colors), Mary Kay, Tova, Avon, Revlon (this tends to be darker) (packaging has changed now, but has gel at one end.)
Swatches:
Generally, brow pencils are harder. They draw well on the brow, not so well without a brow bone behind them. La Prairie is not pictured, it wouldn't draw and just made my skin red, sorry about that! Then the red showed through some of the other colors, so look at the bottom.
Left to right: Powder:
Merle Norman lighter color (barely visible on skin, but shows up well on brow), then deeper color; Pencils: Chanel, Clinique, Mary Kay, Tova, Avon, Prescriptives, Revlon first without gel, then with gel.
Do you have any other colors or brands that you particularly like?
