So, we wanted to give you all our tips and tricks to make it extra easy for you to find a flawless #BOMBBROWS shade match for you. We’ve created the ultimate shade guide for our #BOMBBROWS Microshade Brow Pencil and #BOMBBROWS Full ‘n Fluffy Fiber Gel.
#BOMBBROWS Microshade Brow Pencil: A pencil like no other with THE THINNEST tip possible for an eyebrow pencil (yes, thinner than any other pencil you have tried before!), which means creating realistic hair-like strokes is SO easy. Just twist a tiny amount of product up (1 mm to be precise) to start filling in and defining your brows.
The formula is extremely long-wearing – 24 hours! – and is waterproof, sweat-proof and transfer-proof. The formula is also enriched with a creamy blend of vitamin E, castor oil, and coconut oil. This means super smooth application and effortless building and blending before it sets in place for all-day wear.
#BOMBBROWS Full ‘n Fluffy Fiber Gel: This brow gel is THE easiest way to get that full and fluffy brow look in seconds! The formula has tiny hair-like fibers that immediately boost volume while taming, tinting and adding thickness for fuller, fluffier brows that stay in place ALL DAY! Of course, it’s long-lasting, water-resistant and smudge-proof, and will keep your brows looking fluffed to perfection all day without feeling crunchy, flakey or stiff!
It also has an ultra-thin spoolie for precision application that makes it so easy and quick to use, so you can just swipe it on and go. And the formula is loaded with a hair-conditioning complex – coconut oil, vitamin E, castor oil, and cyperus oil to boost hair health.

Tips for Choosing Your Perfect Brow Shade
Choosing the right shade for your brows depends on two things. The first is obviously your hair color and hair undertones, the second is based on your preferred brow style. The latter varies because it depends on how much brow product you will use.
Tips for choosing a brow pencil shade: The rule is often to go one shade lighter than your brows, which is ideal if you like to heavily fill in your brows with product, as the pigment builds up and the color appears more intense. However, because #BOMBBROWS Microshade Brow Pencil creates hair-like strokes that are so fine and tiny, if you want to do hyper-real looking hair-like strokes, you can actually opt for a shade the same or one shade darker than your natural brow. This will help them to stand out and look defined.
Tips for choosing a brow gel shade: For matching your brows, think about it in the same way you might choose a foundation. Look at the undertones; is your hair warm, with golden or red highlights? Or is your hair cooler, with ashier undertones? Try and pick your brow shade with the same undertones as your skin and hair for the most natural-looking brow. Each #BOMBBROWS shade has the undertone in the shade description to make the range super easy to shop. Choose the shade that you feel best matches your brow.
Meet the #BOMBBROWS Shades
To develop our shades, Huda worked closely with her team of product developers, makeup artists, friends and family, and of course combined it with her decade-long experience testing brow products. This, alongside insights shared by blog readers and her social family, gave Huda a wealth of knowledge to understand brow shades.
One key point that came to the forefront was that people who had cooler-toned hair colors often went with neutral or warmer tones. This is because the cooler tones tended to look more drawn-in versus neutral and warm shades that look and feel more natural. This is why you’ll notice the majority of our shades are either neutral or warm-toned.
Whatever your brow color or preference, we know you’ll find a bomb match for your brows!
#BOMBBROWS Shade 1 – Warm Blonde
This is our lightest shade and it’s amazing for those of you with blonde or golden blonde hair as the warm undertone keeps it from looking grey.
#BOMBBROWS Shade 2 – Neutral Blonde
This neutral blonde, taupe-like shade works amazingly for neutral blonde shades and those of you with cool blonde hair. Thanks to the balance of cool undertones in this shade, it also works well with platinum blonde hair, without looking ashy.
#BOMBBROWS Shade 3 – Caramel Blonde
The perfect balance of deep warm blonde tones mixed with auburn, this shade works for both redheads with red tones in their brow, but also for very fair, warm brunettes.
#BOMBBROWS Shade 4 – Light Brown
This warm brown shade works perfectly for those with brown hair who prefer a soft-looking brow that complements lighter brow hair.
#BOMBBROWS Shade 5 – Medium Brown
This neutral brown shade is super universal and works on a variety of undertones thanks to its balance of cool and warm tones that complement many shades of brown hair.
#BOMBBROWS Shade 6 – Rich Brown
This rich brown shade has warm undertones that look amazing on those with chocolate-brown and deep brown hair colors. The warm undertone also complements rich skin tones beautifully, as deep brown shades can tend to look grey if not warm enough.
#BOMBBROWS Shade 7 – Black Brown
This deep, black-brown shade is ideal for those with dark brown and black hair colors. It also works to add dimension for those with slightly fairer brows who prefer to add depth with color to create a stronger brow.
#BOMBBROWS Shade 8 – Soft Black
A soft black shade with cool undertones that works beautifully for deeper hair colors without looking harsh or unnatural on the skin.
Tips for grey hair: We have found that those with silver or grey hair have very different shade preferences, and a true grey color tends not to be flattering for all skin tones. We recommend opting for a shade close to your original hair color that is a shade lighter.
Your #BOMBBROWS Microshade Brow Pencil Brand Shade Comparison Guide
We wanted to make it extra easy for you to own your #BOMBBROWS by finding matches from two amazing brands we know you’ll ask us about. So, we’ve compared our shades to brow legends, Benefit Cosmetics and Anastasia Beverley Hills, to help you find a match. Although our shades are not identical to either of these brands, we’ve selected those that have the closest match, and we’ve also added notes where the closest match varies slightly in undertone or color.
#BOMBBROWS Application Tips:
1. Get your brows in line: Use the pencil’s spoolie to brush your brow hairs upwards – this will help you see all the places you need to fill in.
2. Shape up: Twist up 1 mm of product. Starting in the middle of your brow, work your way out towards the edges – the end of your brow can handle more pigment. You can easily soften the edges with a spoolie at the end.
3. Fill in the blanks: Using short, upwards, dash-like strokes to mimic your natural hairs, softly fill in any sparse areas with a pencil.
4. Brush & Blend: Once you’re finished and happy with the shape and fullness of your brows, brush them up for a seamless result.
5. Boost & Add Volume: Shape and sculpt your brow hairs using the precision tip of the #BOMBBROWS Full ‘n Fluffy Fiber Gel to build volume and depth and keep them set in place all day long.
Top tip: Even with minimal brow hair, you don’t need to use as much product to get flawless eyebrows. Instead of covering the entire brow with brow pencil, concentrate on micro-shading in sparse areas. Due to the ultra-fine tip, creamy formula and level of pigmentation, only light pressure is required to create your look.
If your brows or T-zone tend to get oily throughout the day, then worry not. The formula was created to stay put on all skin types, and does not smudge on oilier skin types. You can also try Huda’s brow hack: she loves to apply a light dusting of translucent powder to her brows before she begins to prep the skin, which prevents her skin from looking shiny throughout the day.
