Should I choose waterproof or regular?

Waterproof formulas hold up well in rain, snow and long days but need an oil-based remover. Regular formulas wash off more easily.

Is black or brown the safer choice?

Black is the more common pick and suits most people. Brown can look softer for light hair or a natural daytime look.
