HOW TO FIND YOUR EYEBROW SHADE IF:
YOU WANT YOUR BROWS TO MATCH YOUR HAIR:
If you want your brows to match your hair, then try to determine the tone and shade of your strands. Red and golden hair tones appear warm, but there is a difference between the two. If you can see red tones in your hair, then look out for more red toned products and vice versa. Golden tones are coming in both blondes and brunettes. Neutral hair tones will be a balance of all tones without being extreme in any direction. If you are unsure about which tone to choose then neutral could be a good option. Your strands can be classified as cool if they have no red or golden undertones. Instead, they will be icier.
YOU WANT YOUR BROWS LIGHTER THAN YOUR HAIR:
If you want your eyebrows to look a little lighter than your hair, then aim for one shade or half a shade lighter than your hair. This way, they still match well and look balanced. If you have bleached your brows, but just want some definition, opt for a light shade but always choose a cool or ashy toned hue. If you would like your eyebrows to be significantly lighter opt for three to four shades lighter.
YOU WANT YOUR BROWS DARKER THAN YOUR HAIR:
It's common for your brows to be darker than your hair, so you can go much darker than your hair colour. But, try to avoid a shade that is too deep or too in contrast with your skin tone to retain balance. For a subtle difference opt for half or one shade lighter than your locks. - If you want to go much darker try three to four shades up.

WHAT IS ANASTASIA’S BEVERLY HILLS GOLDEN RATIO® TECHNIQUE?
The Golden Ratio is Anastasia Beverly Hills’ universal eyebrow shaping technique. Following patterns discovered in nature, art and the human body, the founder came to realise that the mathematical principle of thirds (otherwise known as the Golden Ratio), can be applied to our faces for optical harmony. The result? Balanced brows with the satisfaction of symmetry.
HOW TO SHAPE YOUR EYEBROWS USING THE GOLDEN RATIO® TECHNIQUE?
The Golden Ratio method is the ideal way to create balanced looking brows. Follow the steps below to achieve your mathematical masterpiece:
1. Start by shaping the brow directly above the centre of the nostril.
2. Then join it to an arch. This is determined by creating an invisible line from the centre of the nose through to the iris.
3. Finally, end the brow by following an invisible line from the outside corner on the nose to the outside corner of the eye. And then repeat.
