The coldest seasons of the year are officially upon us. And while temps aren’t hitting their lows quite yet, it’s good to keep in mind that as the seasons change, fashion and styles do as well.

Before it gets too cold outside, you might want to consider changing up your brow style. This is a great time of year to think about how to get the best shape for your brows and how to color your eyebrows for the new season.

In this post, we’re going to give you a brief overview of some simple changes you can make to your eyebrow color and shape in order to have them blend seamlessly with your seasonal wardrobe, style, and trends.

Let’s get started!

How to Color Your Eyebrows for Fall: Go a Bit Darker

Instead of the bright colored shorts, sandals, and floral tops of spring and summer, most people are starting to don dark wash jeans, burgundy sweaters, and brown boots. Blonde beachy hair turns to chestnut brown. Instead of coral and pink lipstick and eyeshadow, we also start to see a trend towards browns, nudes, deeper reds, purples, etc.

So why should your brows be any different? As we move into the colder months, brows tend to be a little bolder and a little darker than summer or spring brows. Because clothing colors and makeup and hair pigments are generally darker and bolder for fall, light and soft brows will be too subtle to match up to the style. This leads to your eyes and face losing definition.

By giving your brows a darker coloring, you’ll be able to match them to the rest of your fall and winter look.

Fall Brow Shape: Bolder Is Better

Spring and summer makeup looks are usually light and slightly more “natural” looking overall, especially with lip color. Think about it: a deep burgundy in the middle of August isn’t as popular as a light peachy-pink is it? But because fall and winter brings darker palettes, most find that they have bolder lip.

Because we go with a bolder lip in the fall, it makes it easier to go lighter on eye makeup. This also allows you to pair that lighter eye with a bolder and darker brow shape. Bold brows are usually fuller and sharper, and are central to how to get the best shape for your brows. This can be done with makeup, eyebrow tinting or eyebrow shaping services like microblading; the artist will make the brows with more strokes accentuating the frame of the face.

The right brow look can also re-frame a round face to make it look a little sharper, which also matches a bolder seasonal style like you see in fall and winter.

Eyebrows Symbolize Health and Wealth

Full and bold brows are a symbol of health in many cultures. They can also be a symbol of wealth and societal ranking as seen in both Korean and Chinese cultures.

At any time of year, full brows can thus represent that you’re healthy and are enjoying a full and prosperous life. This could be considered especially important as the holiday season draws near; what a great way to look young and lively among family and friends! Especially despite the weather.

Certain Chinese cultures also believe that the length and fullness of brows is correlated with affection for family, specifically siblings. So as you prepare to gather with your family for Thanksgiving and other holiday family gatherings, brow color and shape can subtly show your affection!

Winter and Fall Brow Shape and Color Is Simple: Go Dark and Bold

The big takeaway here is that some of the best fall and winter brow shapes and colors are bolder and darker than spring and summer options.

You can get this done with makeup services, coloring, your own makeup, threading, or microblading. The good news is that fall and winter are the best seasons to have microblading done!
