Did you get a new wig recently, or are you looking at which style you want?

I did go look at a few this past week but did not setup an appointment for a purchase and style.  I prefer my own hair over a wig, but some wigs are so lovely.

I really love long wavy blonde "princess" wigs, especially the golden‑blonde ones with soft curls. 
But i have a technical concern: my natural eyebrows are quite dark, and I'm afraid the contrast will break the illusion. 
I know some people lighten their brows with concealer to match the wig, but I'm still unsure how far I should go. 
If anyone has experience balancing dark brows with a light princess‑blonde wig, I'd love some advice.

Consealer is one way. I have used powder. If you have some makeup primer, apply that first so the powder will stick. Apply the powder, then gently brush the brows to remove the excess. It should lighten them just enough.

Typically, brow color is one or two shades darker than hair color for us blondes. If your brows are too light, they will blend in with the skin and become invisible. If brushing the brows leaves them too light, don't remove the powder. Just add a very light touch of light brown eyeshadow or brow color. It will take some experimenting, but eventually you will find the shade that looks just right.

Don't just look in a mirror. Check under different lighting conditions: lighted makeup mirror, bathroom mirror, kitchen light, living room light, and daylight. What looks ok in one setting might not match under other conditions. If you are just staying home and enjoying yourself, don't worry too much about lighting.

Hope this helps!

I saw some nice long wigs that had beautiful waves and curtain bangs (and other types of bangs).

I would want my new one styled with layers and for it to have a lot of hair, and down to my elbows perhaps (while standing.)  I think I would go close to my natural color.

Thank you both so much for your advice about the eyebrow. 
And... well... I think I'm going to go for the princess‑blonde wig after all :) 
You totally convinced me!

I decided to hold off on any new wig purchase.  Some are tempting but I will wait.
I have two long hair wigs, that is enough.  Maybe when one just does not seem to look as good I will shop again.

It's a timely question because I bought myself a new wig for my Christmas gift. Human hair and was meant to be an ash blonde highlights wig with some brown hair roots showing so it looks real.

It arrived more ash grey than expected based on the advertised pictures. Seller had the usual "it's your computer monitor" that made it look different to the actual product.

Anyways I did some beaching and toning to get it to the real blonde highlights I wanted. I'm very happy with how it looks now.

Sound like you are pleased with your new wig.  That is nice!  Congratulations.
