Eyebrow Powder – 8 Shades
Couldn't load pickup availability
Eyebrow powder, also called brow powder, is a pigmented powder that fills in sparse or uneven brows; Marie-José eyebrow powder comes in eight shades across three colour groups: blonde, brown and black.
Thin patches, an uneven arch or brows that are lighter than your hair: eyebrow powder fixes that in a few minutes. Our powder is highly pigmented and finely milled, so you build the colour up layer by layer to a soft, natural result. With eight shades there is a match for every hair colour.
What does eyebrow powder do?
The powder fills the gaps between the hairs and makes the difference between your left and right brow smaller. Start with a little product and build up until shape and intensity look right.
On its own the powder is water-resistant. Apply it over the White Stick eyebrow primer, a white wax pencil, and it becomes waterproof. The wax gives the pigment something to grip, so the colour looks fuller. You can also use the White Stick to draw the shape first and then fill it with powder – an easy way to keep both brows the same, even if you rarely wear brow make-up.

Which shade suits your hair colour?
| Your hair | Colour group | Shades |
|---|---|---|
| Light blonde, dark blonde or grey | Blonde | Blond, Ash Blonde, Dark Blonde |
| Light brown to dark brown | Brown | Medium Brown, Dark Brown |
| Dark brown to black | Black | Charcoal, Soft Black, Jet Black |
How much brow hair you have decides the rest. With plenty of hair, pick the shade closest to your brows. With sparse brows, light-haired people usually go one or two shades darker than their hair, dark-haired people one or two shades lighter. Within the black group, Charcoal gives the softest result and Jet Black the deepest. More tips: choosing eyebrow powder for sparse brows.
In doubt between two shades? Start with the lighter one. Adding colour is easier than toning down a result that is too dark. If no single shade is quite right, blend two into your own colour.
Two shades for more depth
A natural brow is not equally dark everywhere. Use the lighter shade at the start of the brow and the darker shade for the arch and tail. The colour then builds gradually and the brow looks fuller. Prefer everything in one box? The Duo Brow Powder Kit combines two matching shades with stencils and a brush.
How to apply eyebrow powder
In short: the White Stick as a base, powder with an angled brush such as our Brow Brush with Angled Tip & Spooly End from the arch to the tail, then blend with the spooly. The steps are in the User directions tab; the full explanation is in our step-by-step eyebrow powder guide.
Do you work with clients who have little or no brow hair, for example due to alopecia areata or after chemotherapy? Eyebrow powder over the White Stick gives a soft result on bare skin, and with eight shades plus blending you match every client. Keep your work cosmetic and refer medical questions to a doctor.
