the universal light

With medium brown hair, I'd recommend the darker of the 2 colors but brush your brows lightly after the product dries in order to soften the look. Plenty of color will be left behind, will stay put all day/night and look natural.

I purchased the Universal Light and found that is was a little dark for me. I have very pale blonde eyebrows. I would say it was more of a medium to light color.

I would not use this product.

brunette

No it has a purple hue.

no- the brunette is a nice dark brown.

No, I would say this is more brownish/ashy

No, This brow pen favors more beige to light ash tones .

No way - it's perfect and is exactly as promised!

It looks really fake & creepy no matter how careful you are. If you have sparse eyebrows (as I do), I recommend either Anastasia's light brown brow gel, or their brow powder (use a small eyeshadow brush & a light touch, & a cotton swab to wipe off any excess). I HATED the brow pen. One of the worst products ever.

I wouldn't recommend this if your brows are REALLY sparse because it's basically a sheer marker. That's what is great about it, but it's best for gliding over brow hairs and filling in tiny spots that are less 'full.' If you use this without having much of a brow it will probably look paint-y.

Well, I have NO eyebrows except for the inside nearest my nose and I just put a little face powder so the pen sticks and it really does stay on ALL day. If I put it on without the powder like on the weekend if I'm really lazy, it doesn't stay. I feel that it looks natural - it's the best that is offered in 2011!!!

If you have some eyebrow, you wont have a problem. My eyebrows are super thin and sparse. This pen fills in the gaps well.

They'll likely look drawn on if you really don't have any eyebrow hair. I use the brow tint and then lightly coat my eyebrows with brown mascara to enhance the natural hairs that are there (regardless of how fine/light they might naturally be).

Honestly, I'd go with a little darker. All the beauty tips I've ever read say to go a little darker on the brows. I find that works best for me too.

I personally would go with the lighter color still. I have medium brown hair, brown eyes, and an olive complexion and I wear the lighter one and it's a perfect shade. I asked at a Sephora store which one I should use and I almost went with the darker one...and I'm so glad I listened to the consultant. She explained that the darker one is more for people with very dark brown to black hair and darker skin tones. The lighter one is the best choice.

NOT SURE WHAT COLOR YOUR PEN IS, BUT I WOULD KEEP YOUR BROWS DARK, TO MATCH YOUR HAIRCOLOR..HOPE THIS HELPS

I wear my hair light as well and first tried the dark color pen which turned out to be too dark. I wear the light shade using light application with the pen. ( It only comes in universal light or dark)

Definitely go with the lightest color. I'm blonde. You can adjust the color somewhat based on how hard you apply and reapply. Don't go darker if you are fair haired, it would look garish. Good luck, great product!

I have red hair and pale, pinkish skin. I use the lighter color in this brow tint. It's perfect...not too dark but dark enough for definition, and its color is extremely natural looking.

I'm strawberry blonde and would only consider the lightest shade. You do not want to go with anything above that; it would look fake. I've used this pen for years and stick with what I know works. Good luck!

I would probably go for the light. I think its a bit more versatile and works for several shades of blonde and redheads whereas the darker shade I feel is more for brunettes, but I cant really be sure, I've only ever used the lighter shade and it works really well for my darkish blonde hair. Hope this helps!

I would buy the ligth!

Universal Light Shade.

The lighter color. I have medium-red hair and it matches well.

Definitley the light

Personally, I do not recommend for red hair. I have red hair and was very disappointed in the shade. Perhaps they will come up with an auburn shade...that would work best!

Absolutely use the lighter shade -- Universal Light I believe it is. It's even a teense darker than I would like (I'm medium blonde) but once you get the hang of it, it's an AWESOME product! You can fill in "individual hairs"...

Universal light because it has a reddish tint to it...would be flattering with that hair color.

I am having the same problem with the brow pen, they must have changed something, it seems to light and you have to keep layering it

I think the packaging changed. I was also confused when I bought mine and had to ask one of the associates b/c I prefer the dark one.

I too noticed the packaging change, and at first thought the Universal Light was darker than my previous pen as well. When I compared the old vs. the new pen, I discovered that the colors are in fact the same. I think the difference is that since the old pen was on its last legs, less product was coming out with each use- I had to 'draw' in a little more to get the same effect.

On the days I 'overdo' it with my new pen, a dusting of mineral powder lightens the color perfectly. Hope this helps!

I believe the package has changed and it is darker since it now has the dark line around the pen.

I recently bought (2) and had also noticed that the packaging had changed, to me the color still seems the same.

I would say for me a good 2 1/2 to 3 months. It lasts a lot longer than you think.

I wish I had a better answer than "I've had mine 7 months and it shows no signs of wear whatsoever". It's an awesome product and if they discontinue it I will really really really be unhappy.

1 year

This pen lasts for a long time. I've not had to buy one to keep as a spare. Just make sure to push the top down completely to insure it doesn't dry out. I've never had a problem with it drying out. Usually I'll notice the color is not as pronounced when it's about to dry out, but it's not a sudden thing where I have to run out and buy another one right away. I would say this pen lasts for at least a couple of months.

My pen lasted around 3 months.

I am and it works great for me.

If you are a warm golden blonde, then yes. But I have pale cool blonde hair and the color is WAY too warm for me.

Too redish i have ash light bwn hair, hpoe the make an ashy tone.

Hi. I think this color has way too much red in it. I used it with a brow powder over it and could still see lots of red. I'm hoping they will offer it in different colors.

I wouldn't think so; I have very dark brown hair. I personally think they should create a lighter version for blondes.

This product is applied as a backdrop to your brows (directly on the skin) and from my experience won't color/cover your white brows.
You may want to try tinting your brows (the actual hair) instead.

Yes - this product will help blend in the grays, making them less noticeable, and giving your brow an even tone

I don't think so. I think the product "stains" the skin under the eyebrows. This is just my opinion. Good luck!!

I have grey hairs and this product works wonderfully for me. I never pluck the greys.

I think that you will be pleasently suprised at how well it covers those stray greys!! I love it because I have sparse brows & it blends them together to look extremely natural. However I used it on my mother who has greys & it made a huge difference. We are hooked!
