Since I usually use wigs for the characters I cosplay, I've got the problem of my eyebrows not being the same color as my wig. Say I've got a funky blue-ish purple wig (like Hinata from Naruto or even Sakura). My eyebrows are dark, like a dark brown, and I don't know if dyeing them would work. I don't even know how to dye my eyebrows sweatdrop

So yea. Anybody willing to help a poor, little, lost cosplayer?

I have not done this myself, but I remember reading a thread about this some time ago. They said a non drastic way of doing this would be to use white or yellow eye pencil to color your eyebrows, then going over it with the color you want once they're pale enough. I'm not sure if this will work or not, but you can get eye pencils for pretty cheap at Target....

If you want to go really drastic, you could bleach and dye them, but I highly do not recommend it...

Poster paint would eventually crack and start chipping off, these are eyebrows were talking about and people tend to move them with different expressions.

theres still the problem of the cracking and flaking, plus it would get runny if the person sweats a lot, also it tends to have some nasty fumes, and it does not show up well with dark hair which is what this user has.

yeah, a stencil would do the trick... I just have to make mine incredibly thick. I have been forced into a group cosplay of Naruto with my school's Anime Club.

yeah..but do they have a blond colored pencil or pink is what i am wondering. i have no problem doing rukia from bleach since my eyebrows are naturally really dark, they are actually darker than my hair. so i am dying my hair temporary black for that, but i have a wig for edo and i am getting a wig for sakura.. i just need the right colors for the eyebrows.

My brother cosplays as Cloud Strife but he has naturally brown hair, so here's what I did for his eyebrows:

1. Go out and get cheap face pain from ACMoore.
2. Using a cheap plastic-bristle paintbrush, mix the paints for your desired color (so they match the wig) and make sure you have a lot of it.
3. You know those eyebrow combs that you get in beauty kits but don't know how to use? Here's the time for it. Take the brush end and get some of the paint on it, then brush it in to your eyebrow.
4. Use the comb end to get rid of excess paint (prevents flaking and "OMG I can't move my eyebrows" syndrome). Try a wet q-tip if you accidentally got some where itn't not supposed to be.

Ja-jan! Instant eyebrow dye. I do it to cosplay Sakura too, so you're not alone for that one ^_^
