I am so fair skinned, with almost invisible eyebrows, and I don't like to use an eyebrow pencil, so I ordered some "medium brown" eyebrow dye from Amazon.com, after reading the reviews. I followed the instructions for "light brown," only leaving the mixture on for one minute. They were near black, and boy did I look scary. I tried washing them repeatedly till my skin was sore, then leaving on an oily salve skin cream to hopefully weaken the dye...no effect. It was scary to look in the mirror. I rarely wear makeup or mascara in the summer, so there I was, the albino with black eyebrows! Today, I took one of those battery operated hair removal tools and shaved them off, just leaving stubble, which actually looks natural and like I looked before applying the dye!
I'll never do that again!
