Koohii Story 1 "A good substitute for black is blue-black, like the color women try to substitute for their black eyebrows with a pencil."
Koohii Story 2 "Substitute + black= blue-black or blackened-eyebrows. A close substitute for the color black is the color blue-black. Also, women in Japan sometimes have blackened-eyebrows, since their color is naturally a faint blue-black."
