I've got a costume with a bright blue wig. I insist on having anything but dark brown eyebrows. Is there a special dye or something (that comes in bright blue? xp ) Any suggestions?

Is it worth it to dye your eyebrows just to match your wig

Ooh, man, I have no idea! Do you have a local costume shop you can ask that question to? Otherwise you may want to google it and see if there's any tutorials.

Worst case scenario, if your hair is blue and your eyebrows are darker, that won't be too bad. Having blonde hair and black eyebrows would be a little weird, but what you're saying would be doable.

D| I've been trying to figure this one out as well, I have several different wigs (ie; from black to red to blonde, to dark teal) yet my eyebrows are brown, (and yeah, they look out of place when I'm wearing my blonde wig) I've been trying different things but the only thing I have been able to come up with is... (that would work in your case, Amseldevil)

brushing mascara through your eyebrows, which comes in blue, black, brown, and probebly other colors, but I haven't checked yet.

other then mascara I haven't been able to find anything on the problem other then temp-dye (ie; like those one-night washout colorpacks) cause anything else I believe is supposedly bad for your eyes. O-O!

I'm sure that they still sell the brush in dye stuff, you know that tempt brush in mascara like stuff that was popular a few years back? You might be able to use that, if you need to. actually DYING your eyebrows can be akward.....

I would also test with that stuff with the wig on to see if you can get it to match the way you want to. Sometimes getting to con and doing it for the first time can prove to be a bad case senario.

you can covr your brows with pancake or theatrical makeup, and stencil blue color over that.

of course it is only a temporary effect.

you might be able to color your eyebrows with eye liner..i know its possible to make colored streaks in hair so it will probably work on eyebrows

they sell eyebrow liners... like eyeliner.. save um... the tip is thicker and it comes with a handy dandy brush. But if your eyebrows are like SUPER dark.. there's only so much effect it'll give... but better than none 3nodding

I've used a colored spiking gel before in my hair, and I'm sure it'd be fine on eyebrows. I found it at the local Sally Beauty Supply and it comes in tons of colors (even different shades of blue)!! xd It comes in a palm-sized squeezy tube. If you could find that, it'd probably work best. There's that spray-in kind, but it might not be a good idea for eyebrows. neutral Good luck with your eyebrows...er matching blueness...er...Good Luck!! pirate

I have a friend who cosplayed that guy from FLCL with HUGE eyebrows. He used cardboard and duct tape.
I also have a COSMODE magazine that has some make-up tips (in japanese crying ). From what I can tell, the girl in there used some eyeshadow.

What I would do is make a stencil to fit over my eyebrows (So the dye doesn't get on my skin) and use a spray on hair colour that matches the wig. That way it'll go on bright and wash off easy. If you smear a little on your skin, alcohol on the end of a q-tip makes for easy cleanup.

The only thing what you SHOULD NOT EVER do is to try to dye your eyebrows. Even though it might work, worst case senario would be that you get some dye in your eyes and you could go blind. So I believe that if your eyebrows don't match with your wig, it's no big deal. If people give you crap about it just tell them that you'd rather have your eyesight than matching eyebrows. They leave you alone. Trust me.

You can use eyebrow pencils...Hate to be ovious. you can get em at cheesy makeup stores or somewhere like hot topic that sells outrageous colors.

Or you could go the cheazp a** dollar store way, and at halloween buy a whole bunch of face pain collors and blend them into your browline good so they won't smudge over the course of the day.

And I agree, never dye your brows. It's evil.
