BROW 101: Products, Application, & Tips

“Girl, your brows are on fleek!”

It’s one of the best compliments you’ll want to hear after spending time grooming, filling, and shaping your brows. Whether your arches are sparse or thick, the right brow press-on products make every minute in front of the mirror worth it.

When shopping for your vanity must-haves, don’t forget your brow press-ons. You can skip eyeshadow or blush, but never shaping and filling your brows—because your arches frame your face and complete your look.

So before you head to that party next week, make sure your brow press-on products are in your arsenal!

What are the best pencils, gels, and powders for filling in and keeping your brows in place? Keep reading to find out!

Of course, you can’t go without an eyebrow pencil—it’s a must-have for any brow routine. Eyebrow pencils are great for defining and shaping your brows. After shaping, you can use the best eyebrow pencil to fill in sparse areas and achieve gorgeous, natural-looking brows. This product is especially ideal for those with thinner or uneven brows, since it gives you the freedom to choose exactly where you want to add definition.

We recommend getting a twist-up eyebrow pencil for a mess-free experience! With this type of brow product, you’ll get the same consistency and natural finish without needing a sharpener. Plus, you won’t have to worry about finding a bin to dispose of shavings—making it quick, clean, and convenient.

After filling your brows with your pencil, don’t forget the final step: brush and blend. This ensures your eyebrow pencil application looks seamless, polished, and ready to frame your face flawlessly.

Eyebrow gels are an absolute must-have, especially if you’re dealing with sparse brows. These gels contain tiny microfibers that stick to your natural hairs, instantly making your brows look fuller and more defined. They also add a subtle tint for extra dimension—no need for constant touch-ups throughout the day.

Easy to use and buildable, volumizing eyebrow gels let you control your look. Apply a small amount for a natural finish, or layer more for a bold, statement brow.

For the best results, choose an eyebrow gel with a tapered brush. This allows for precise application while helping you evenly volumize your brows. Available in multiple shades, these gels can be matched perfectly to your hair or makeup look. And when paired with our natural-looking magnetic lashes, the result is a flawless, eye-framing finish.

Not all girls have the dexterity to use an eyebrow pencil. If you’re one of them, eyebrow powder is the right product to achieve natural-looking brows. While pencils help add color, they often end up looking waxy. Using the best eyebrow powders eliminates that waxy effect. Perfect for those with sparse brows, powders are great for adding both color and volume, delivering a softer finish than most pencils.

One caveat, though, is that eyebrow powders don’t always anchor to the brows as well as other products. If you want long-lasting results, opt for an all-day waterproof eyebrow powder.

While you might not have heard of eyebrow pomade or tried it yet, this product is one of the most talked-about brow innovations. Why? Because it’s often considered the “tattoo” product for brows.

Eyebrow pomade holds your brows in place the longest. However, it can take some practice to master the application. Most eyebrow pomades have easy-to-use formulas you can experiment with, but you may need to learn a few expert techniques for the perfect finish. Use with care—if you’re aiming for a bold brow look that lasts all day, pomade is the way to go.

Brows can naturally lose their fullness over the years—not just from plucking, but also from stress, hormones, and other factors beyond your control.

While you can temporarily fill in sparse areas with an eyebrow pencil or powder, a long-term solution can save you the effort. Enter the eyebrow serum. These serums are designed to nourish hair follicles and support brow growth. Most contain ingredients similar to eyelash serums, such as peptides to promote healthier, fuller brows, amino acids to prevent breakage, and hyaluronic acid to condition and protect.

For the best results, apply your eyebrow serum consistently for several months. Always do a patch test before use—if you experience itching or swelling, discontinue immediately. With diligence, these serums can help restore volume and strength to thinning brows.

Most eyebrow products will do their job well only if you have perfectly groomed arches, to begin with. When it comes to grooming your brows, here are some tips:

Shape your brows according to your face shape. Before plucking or shaving, always identify the beginning, arch, and end of your eyebrows to achieve a balanced look.

Plucking eyebrows can be painful. To make it easier, tweeze after a hot shower to open up the follicles. Taking anti-inflammatory meds can also help reduce pain and swelling.

Never tweeze your eyebrows without proper lighting. Use natural lighting whenever possible. If that’s not available, make sure you have bright, clear light to see even the tiniest strands you need to pluck.

• Always pluck in the direction of hair growth. This ensures you pull the entire strand and avoid leaving a follicle behind—because no one wants a less-than-perfect brow. Avoid using a magnifying glass, as it can make you think you have more hair than you do, leading to over-plucking.

1. Don’t forget to trim your eyebrows. After removing stray hairs, trim the extra-long strands to keep your brows looking neat, polished, and well-defined.

Now that your eyebrow grooming is on point, don’t be afraid to experiment with the best eyebrow products that fit your budget and lifestyle.
