Ebony Brown is one of Aqua’s most popular pigments for a reason—it strikes the perfect balance between a deep dark brown and a soft black. Designed for artists who want bold, defined brows without the harshness of pure black, Ebony Brown is especially well-suited for Fitzpatrick IV, V, and VI skin types or clients with naturally very dark to black eyebrow hair. It also doubles beautifully as a rich eyeliner pigment for those seeking a softer alternative to jet black.

Why PMU Artists Love Ebony Brown

Dark & Versatile: A brownish-black pigment that works for both brows and eyeliner.
Perfect for Deeper Skin Tones: An excellent choice for Fitzpatrick IV–VI clients.
Soft Black Effect: Creates defined brows without the flat, unnatural look of true black.
Dual Purpose: Can be used for brows or to achieve a stunning chocolate-toned eyeliner.
High Trust Factor: A consistent top seller and must-have pigment in the Aqua collection.

Pro Tips for Using Ebony Brown

Add warmth if needed: Mix with Gray Vanish, Un-Grey, or Caribbean Mod.
Darken mid-range brow tones: Blend into lighter brow pigments for extra depth.
For eyeliner: Use alone for a rich, dark chocolate liner or darken further with Black Magic or Onyx.

CI Numbers

CI 77499, CI 77491, CI 77492

Contains a small amount of red. While still cool and dark, this makes this color less cool than Black Magic. Cooler and darker than Espresso. This is a dark black-brown color. On Fitzpatrick V-VI skin types this color may heal to the appearance of a rich black. Add Black Magic only when appropriate due to the darkness of the canvas. The darker the eyebrow canvas, the cooler the canvas and appropriate amounts of Un-Gray or Grey Vanish should be considered as an additive to avoid a ―too cool healed eyebrow. For additional warmth add Un-Gray, Grey Vanish or Autumn Gold. Can also be used to obtain a beautiful rich dark chocolate eyeliner (see the Eyeliner Colors section of the CIC). This is a definite favorite and there are many ways to use this color.

Favorite Combinations: Ebony Brown may be used to darken mid-range brown eyebrow colors. Ebony Brown as an additive to darken is advised to be used in very small quantities. This is a strong pigment and a small amount goes as long way. Ebony Brown and Sandalwood or Ebony Brown and Hazelnut are both stunning combinations.
