Brows have become a big deal in the beauty world, so it’s not surprising that a new brow product seems to hit shelves every week. But with so many options comes some confusion – which brow product type is right for you? We shed light on the tools of the brow trade to help you find the right one for you.

1

Felt tip

The precision point makes thin or thick application simple, says Hannah Terrett, Benefit Australia’s National Brow Artist, who advises “stamping out the line before connecting the dots for a controlled, flawless finish”. Bourjois Brow Natural Eyebrow Felt-Tip Pen is a great budget buy.

Cream/mousse/pomade

Use on brows that are flat and need a lift. We love NARS Brow Defining Cream.

Powder

Ideal for dark or coarse hair as it gives a soft, fluffier finish. Try shu uemura Brow Palette.

4

Gel

Great for oily skins and skimpy, patchy or scarred brows, as “the gel adheres to skin, offering staying power through the day,” says Terrett. Give Benefit Ka-Brow! a go.

Pencil

Best for uneven, shapeless or undefined brows. We recommend Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz.

Try this: “If you’re worried about too-dark inner corners, use powder on the front portion for a soft finish, and your regular formula on the arch and tail,” suggests Benefit’s National Brow Artist Hannah Terrett.
