- Dilute 1 teaspoon of henna in an infusion of walnut leaves, and you will have a chocolate tone.
- Combining basma and henna in a one-to-one ratio will produce a bluish black color.

- A rich chestnut with a light shade of red will make a blend of coffee and henna.
- An infusion of walnut shells and a teaspoon of henna gives a hint of dark cinnamon.
If you are the owner of light hair and skin, opt for light brown or brown tones, perhaps with a slight reddish tint.
Choose an eyebrow color that is slightly lighter or slightly darker than your natural color if you are a natural brown-haired woman. Do not match with your hair, otherwise the eyebrows will be lost on your face.
For natural brunettes, a palette of dark brown to bluish black is suitable.
How long does henna eyebrow biotattoo last
