If you’re looking for a quick DIY solution to darken your eyebrows, you may already have one in your kitchen.

Eye shadow is a quick method of dyeing

While using eye shadow to darken your brows won’t have the same staying power as an eyebrow pencil, it does provide subtle, natural-looking results. Choose your color the same way you would choose your eyebrow pencil. (One to two shades darker for lighter brow hairs, and the same shade if you have darker brows.) Using a small angled brush, blend the eyeshadow onto the areas you want to darken.
