Top Makeup Shades to Enhance Gray Hair

Emphasize your features more if you have gray hair

If you have naturally gray hair, chances are that you may have lost some thickness and pigment in your eyebrows. Since features can get lost if there’s no brow definition, you’ll want to be sure to fill them in. For those with fair skin, opt for a cool-toned brown with a hint of gray to it. The NYX Micro Brow Pencil in Taupe is a nice choice. If you have a deeper skin tone, try Maybelline’s Express Brow 2-In-1 Pencil and Powder.

Liner also really helps to bring out your eyes, so this is also one step you don’t want to skip. While dark brown and black are classic colors, try hopping on the eyeliner trend that’s taking over 2025 with unexpected shades like bright purple or electric blue. Colored mascara is also fun with gray hair, and you can either match your eyeliner and shadow or go with an opposite color to make the hues really pop. In short, gray hair doesn’t mean you have to fade into the background. After all, silver and jewel tones go hand in hand, so you’ll just have to experiment with interesting ways to make your gray hair shine.
