My friend asked me for help on where to begin (as in, where to go and what to get etc etc.) when turning her eyebrows a different colour, and I felt bad cz I haven't done that before so couldn't help, so I said I would post up here and ask if anyone else could help :3
She will be cosplaying as Ranka Lee from Macross Frontier so she wants to make them green, and her eyebrows now are dark... anyone here able to help out? c:

you could also use face paints but they could melt off if its to warm |

Let it dry - leaving a sort of thin crusty layer. Then use normal paints - I used acrylic. and paint the eye brow on in what ever colour you want. This works amazingly well. To remove it you can use a tissue/facial wipe/flannel and some water. Hot/Cold either works just wet it and wipe it off. I used it on my Allen and I had a Magnet shoot right after I was fearing I'd have white eyebrows but the whole thing came off immediately and cleanly. The only issue people will have with this method will be allergies of course so make sure you're not allergic to the paint or glue before hand. Last edited by Emzone (27 Aug 2010 - 17:40) |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb3D-afzKEc It shows how to make your eyebrows "disappear" in easy ways and you can just draw on the eyebrows you want in the colour you want with either facepaint, coloured eye pencils and stuff. 8D I'mma happy I found it |

The eyeliner I used was from Boots, Collection 2000 Glam Metallic Coloured Liquid Eyeliner. It covered my Asian black eyebrows pretty well. |

I have yet to try it myself but will prob do so when I cosplay Mew again as trying to turn pale pink using the concealer/foundation cover + pink pencil approach didn't work so well... I looked daft so kept my eyebrows brown lol |

| MoonLily Joined: 24 Jul 2007 Posts: 488 | I use the washable glue approach all the time (for example check out Neku, Mika and Silver in my gallery. ^^) I have quite...how to say...substantial...brows...so I use two coats of pva and then acrylic and it works wonderfully. Also it's really easy to take off, (much easier than stick foundation which I use for blonde characters.) So I reccomend that, especcially for more unnatural hair colours. ^^ |

| PokethePixie Joined: 16 Jun 2009 Posts: 37 | There are so many ways to do this but I tend to put liquid foundation on an eyebrow brush and coat my eyebrows, and then once thats dry I put on a layer of light/cream eyeshadow (optional cause my eyebrows r really dark XD) and then put on the coloured eyeshadow that matches the wig I did ranka aswell so I actually had green mascara that I used instead of the coloured eyeshadow, was very effective ^^ |
