Hmm, that is a question that more relies on your particular hair color and skin tone.
What you could try first is a clear brow and lash mascara, which has no color but lengthens/widens the look of the hair you already have. Unless you way overdo it, it should blend pretty well.
Otherwise, I would just pick the closest color match and try it out. E.l.f is not pricey, and they routinely have sales, so it will only cost $2-3 to try an item out. If you like it, it will last a long time, so you are getting a great deal, but if you don't, then it isn't a huge waste.
Other than that, I would recommend just starting with a small amount, and only do it on one 'side' of your brow at a time. In other words, only use the makeup on the top or bottom of the brow, not both. Which one would work better for you depends on your style and the look you are going for. You can also use a makeup brush, small comb or q tip to 'brush' your brows immediately after applying to help de-clump the individual hairs in your brows.
I know that all of this sounds very vague, but it really is a trial and error process to figure out what works for you. Following tutorials can help for general styling tips, but everyone's face and hair is different, so what works for one person may not work for you.
Thanks for your help! I'll try it out.
