Darker hair, lighter eyebrows? Check in!

Hey, I'm curious - how many of you here, like me, have eyebrows and/or eyelashes that are naturally significantly lighter than your hair? I see so many people with the opposite, naturally, that sometimes I feel like a freak. BF, for example, has almost the same hair color as me, but dark brown eyebrows and (of course, typical male) long, thick, dark eyelashes. My eyebrows are white blonde in places, ashy in others, eyelashes dark at the roots and light at the ends.

If you do have lighter eyebrows/eyelashes, do you dye them to match? Or, as I did for ages, do you bleach/dye your hair to match your eyebrows or eyelashes?

I really wonder what makes this happen. In some light, my hair and eyebrows seem to be the same color (dark blonde, light ash brown) but in other light (see profile pic!) my hair looks very dark but my eyebrows and eyelashes transparent.

Are there other freaky light eyebrow/lash people out there?

my eyebrows are lighter than my hair, because I henna my hair, but my brows are all natural. the difference is not huge though.. and my eyelashes are black, naturally.

when my hair is natural though, the brows are a bit darker... so I probably don't really qualify to this thread :P

I have light brows. I usually dye them when I do my hair.

I have dark brown and red-brown hair at the roots and blonde/brown at the ends. The eyebrows are dark brown. The eyelashes are the only black hairs on me, besides some random ones sprouting out of my head.

I don't dye or henna anything. Too broke to maintain and I don't really care much, anyway. I have accepted the fact that I'm distantly related to a skittles bag and have moved on.

My eyebrows are a little lighter as my hair.
I don't dye them or my hair.

I'm checking out. I'm naturally a very light auburn, but my eyelashes and brows are practically black. Even with my hair darkened with henna, I was asked a few weeks ago if I bleached it, because of the mismatched eyebrows.

I have dark hair (indigo'ed black) and light brows. It drives me crazy.
I use a dark eyeshadow to darken them. Have tried to dye them before but it never quite worked out.

Am I the only one then who has naturally much lighter eyebrows than hair?!? I don't mean dyed, I mean what nature gave you.

Gosh, I hate feeling "special" in this way...

My eyebrows and lashes are so light you can barely see them. I would love to have some more color there.

I have red hair yet my eyelashes and eyebrows are both light blonde, which I know a lot of red heads have. I used to use eyebrow pencil on my eyebrows, then I dyed them for quite a while. However, the dye was much too dark and I just looked strange lol, so now I just let them grow naturally. My eyelashes look transparent without any mascara on them
