Anywhere you find "Prismacolor" pencils. They come in lots of colors but be sure to get 2 colors (one for highlights) for more realism.
Usually an art supply store or drawing store, maybe a craft-hobby store like Michaels or Hobby Lobby.

never thought about that. thanks for the tip, do you think the mixed eyebrow paint with a tiny dab of red would work as well? by the way, is a wispy wig supposed to go long side in the back, it would really help if i found out! thank you again, pat!

The long side would go to the back. I found the prismacolor pencils at a Crafts 2000.

Are most Reborns being done now, have their eyebrows painted with the prisma pencils.
I would have used a a med brown to paint eyebrows for a Red haired Baby, and probably put a touch of blush in it to give it the reddish tinge. XXXX June.

    Never heard of prisma pencils. You can use them on our dolls? Can you bake them along with our heat set paints? Do they wipe off easy if you make a mistake or once you put them on that's it? Thanks for the advice !

Prismacolor pencils are a high quality colored pencil that some well known reborners (like our Stephanie Sullivan) use and recommend. You can go to her website and I believe she carries them. The do wipe off easily as long as you do it within a short period of time. The also will become permanent after about 48 hours I believe. They do work so well!

Yes, back side of a wig should be the longer hair. Look for the tag inside! You could add a little bit of red to it, but watch the color as some colors change when you add them to another. Try it on a test limb first if you have any doubts. :)
