Very possibly. Lightening brows can make them look at worst orange, at best weak – and it’s all about strong brows right now. And that’s the case even if you have blonde hair and dark brows – the depth of the brow hairs can kind of anchor paler features. If you do want to try lightening your brows, get your colourist to do the job – this way you’ll get a result that best harmonises with your haircolour. Alternatively, you could get your brows shaped and slimmed down a little, which may be enough of a change for you.

I really like the dark-brow-blonde-hair combo too although not many people do.

I’ve never coloured my brows and think they look great dark even when I lighten my hair to a blonder shade. I think if you must change their colour then leave it to the professionals. No-one wants orange brows!

I know this very beautiful lady–and she doesn’t pluck her brows. She gets the “pluckable” area bleached to about her skin colour (ivory), and you really can’t tell until she tells you. Something to consider, perhaps?
