Back in the day, thin eyebrows were a thing. The thinner the better. But now that has changed because thick and just plain, well-groomed eyebrows are in.
Beauty brands have got all sorts of products and equipments to help you achieve the kind of brow look that is considered desirable nowadays. Some say women can get a little obsessive about our eyebrows but it’s for a good reason.
Well-groomed brows can make a whole lot of difference to your face, so we decided to try 6 different brow products and let you in on what’s good about each one.
What is it: Eyeko Brow Liner
What’s great about it: This particular brow product by Eyeko has received many great reviews. What most women love about this product is the fact that it’s a gel brow liner but the liquid is not thick enough to make brows look fake. It’s long-lasting and if you were to go to bed with it on (not that we suggest you do that), it will still be there in the morning.
What is it: Benefit Brow Zings
What’s great about it: This brow kit from benefit consists of brow powder, wax cream, tiny tweezers, a flat lay-down brush and an angled brush. It’s perfect for those with non-existing eyebrows because once you’ve gotten the hang of using the wax and powder together, you can equip yourself with the most amazing pair of faux eyebrows. The angled brush is perfect to use when you want to control the thickness of your brows and unlike some brow pencils, Brow Zings last a lot longer.
What is it: Bobbi Brown Brow Pencil
What’s great about it: This brow item by Bobbi Brown is as simple as it is great. It’s really a no-fuss tool that helps give your eyebrows the kind of look you want. Available in 5 different shades, this brow pencil doesn’t require sharpening after every use, which is a relief. Reasonably priced and fuss-free, this Bobbi Brown item can be easily kept in your handbag and when you need to touch up your brows, just whip it out!
What is it: Benefit’s Gimme Brow
What’s great about it: Another Benefit item on the list, this Gimme Brow is absolute godsend. If you’re wanting to create a fuller and darker look for your eyebrows, this is THE item to go for. The tiny wand that comes with this product gives just the right amount of tint to your skin and hairs, whilst filling up any gaps you might have. It even keeps unruly hairs in place.
What is it: Shu Uemura’s Hard 9 Brow Pencil
What’s great about it: If you have not heard about this then I am not sure where you have been. A lot of people have been raving about this brow pencil from Shu Uemura. Thanks to it’s advanced formula, this brow pencil doesn’t mark the skin but grabs on to the hairs naturally and easily. For natural brows, this is one of the best items out there. Why is it shaped the way it is? Well, first of all it’s called the Niigata shape and the lead that’s been sharpened flat makes all the difference to your brow’s look. The shape makes it easier for you to draw or colour in your brows!
What is it: Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Brow Colour
What’s great about it: I was lucky enough to come across this product and I absolutely love everything about it! This product is so light and versatile, so you have the freedom to add more or less, depending on what kind of look you’re going for. Surprisingly, even though it’s liquid in texture, it doesn’t give you that drawn-on look. It does a great job at filling out any gaps you may have on your brows and create a look that will last all day. I’ve tested this out in the swimming pool, and amazingly enough, it stayed on!
