Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

I understand from your query that you are concerned about colouring your eyebrows.

There is no problem in colouring your eyebrows as long as you are not allergic to the hair colour. If you are allergic, it could cause severe reaction like redness and swelling. The skin around the eyes is very delicate and the colour could seep into the skin and cause pigmentation when used for prolonged time.

You could apply a small amount of dye behind your ear and observe for 2 days for any reaction. If you get any itching or redness, you should avoid applying the colour as it suggests an allergy.

If thin eyebrows alone is your concern ( and not the colour), you could try 0.03% Bimatoprost ophthalmic solution applied twice a day to thicken them. This should be used only under the supervision of a dermatologist as this too is associated with side effects rarely.

Hope this helps you.

Take care.
