It has became very popular in Asia especially amongst Japanese and kpop stars to dye their hair lighter. But being Asian the majority of the people have black to very dark eyebrows which is harder to compliment their skintone or hair colour. Lightening the eyebrows can give a softer effect to the face, making it look more youthful.

Many kpop stars get their eyebrows dyed whilst their at the salon dying their hair.There are also dyes especially for facial hair which you can purchase. Always take extra care when handling bleaching products as it is a harmful substance. Make sure to do a patch test incase you react to the bleach. Better to be safe than sorry :)
I purchased Jolen Crème Bleach from home bargains for £2.49. It comes with bleaching powder and developing crème. Instruction were easy, just mixing the 2 and I waited 15 minutes for it to develop to achieve the desired colour. There is no smell or irritation when on the skin. With only a slight redness after use :) Also to improve the developing stage I placed cling film on top so the heat can penetrate the shaft of the hair enhancing the effectiveness of the product!! Down below are some before and after pictures.

As you can see the final result is a bit lighter. I feel like the lighter brows compliment my skin more and looks better when I fill in my brows as well :) If you are afraid of dying your eyebrows there are other products that you can use such as eyebrow mascara. These mascara coats your hair making them appear lighter. A popular brand is Palty, which is a Japanese brand from a famous gyaru model Tsubasa Masuwaka.
Here are some more photos of the end result: ps camera whoring alert ;)
Yay to lighter brows :)
