My favorite eyebrow products for a natural look

best-brow-products

best-brow-products I am so guilty of over-plucking my eyebrows in the past- consequences of which, my left eyebrow seems to be suffering to this day.

I gave up plucking and waxing many years a go and my favorite grooming technique now is threading. It might be hella painful but it’s pretty affordable (I pay only $6.00) and the results are definitely worth those few minutes of discomfort.

I definitely prefer a natural, yet defined look when it comes to eyebrows. I’m not a big fan of “Instagram eyebrows” but sometimes I do like going for a little more intense look.

Powder and pencil products are definitely a way to go if natural brows is what you’re after. Pencils are also great to use when you’re in a rush and don’t have much time to play around with pomades. Two of my all-time favorite pencils are Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil in Brunette and Pixi Endless Brow Gel Pen in Medium. Even thought they’re both pencils, they each have a formula that’s quite different: ABH Perfect Brow Pencil works just like a powder it also comes with a spooley on the other end and is ideal for on-the-go use. Pixi Endless Brow Gel Pen has a wax-gel formula which in addition to filling in those sparse areas, also keeps those tiny brow hair in place (it’s also a much more long-lasting than the ABH pencil). Another product of similar nature that’s worth mentioning is Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz, which is also one of the best brow products I’ve ever used.

Two other products from Anastasia Beverly Hills that I absolutely love are the DipBrow Pomade in Chocolate and the Brow Powder Duo in Dark Brown. My favorite brush to use with both of these products is Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Duo Brush– it’s a dual ended and works great both with powders and pomades. I’ve had this brush for ages and have since tried many different brow brushes- anything from Elf to Chanel- none of which worked as well as this one.

My very first eyebrow product was Elf Eyebrow Kit in Medium and even though I no longer use it very often, it’s a great drugstore product, especially for beginners.

When you want to achieve a natural, yet defined look with these products, there’s one thing to keep in mind: you have to use very little product and a light hand. It’s very easy to overdo it, especially with the brow pomade so I always use just the tiniest amount of product, brush through my brows with a spooley, and use a little more product, if necessary.

Two other “brow tools” I have to mention are Pixi Eyebright Liner and MAC 195 concealer brush. The brush is perfect for carving out the brows with a tiniest amount of concealer and the Eyebright Liner is great for lining that lower brow line to define it even more (I always make sure to slightly blend in the pencil with my ring finger or concealer brush, to make it look less obvious and more natural). This Pixi liner is flesh-toned so it looks very natural and works much better than white pencil.

What kind of brows do you prefer? What are some of your favorite brow products?

    I am always too scared to do anything with my eyebrows, they have always been simply natural but yours are beautiful. Really natural yet a beautiful shape.

    Might have to take the plunge and try something new.

    I want natural but well defined brows like yours (eyebrow goals ha ha!)! I hate myself for over plucking my brows when I was a teenager and now I can’t seem to grow them back. Elf eyebrow kit in medium was my first eyebrow product too, it is a good and affordable one. I want to try dip brow pomade, but I am not really sure about ordering online and which colour to pick (I guess chocolate would suit me, since I have the same hair colour:)).

      Oh I’m so guilty of doing that too haha. Have you ever tried using a brow serum? I used one from RapidLash and it worked quite nicely for regrowing some of the over plucked areas.

    I agree, I like natural but defined brows! I have yet to step up my brow game; at the moment, I am using a drugstore powder and tinted setting gel but I’m super eager to try out the ABH Dipbrow! :)

    I like natural-looking brows too and I normally use Anastasia Perfect Brow Pencil to lightly fill them in or a brow mascara when I’m in a rush.

    I recently got the brow powder from ABH and I’m trying to figure out how to use it. I think it’s the brush I have that’s making my brows look kind of bad, thank you for the brush recommendations.

      The right brush makes a huge difference for me. I’ve used so many different ones and none of them worked as well as the ABH.

    I love Anastasia’s dip brow pomade. It’s definitely my absolutely favorite for my brows. However, I do switch between that, Kat Von D, and NYX’s micro brow pencil!

    I rarely fill in my brows, I know they make a huge impact but thankfully, I’m quite abundant in the natural brow hair department. Great post!

    I love how threading leaves your eyebrows but the pain!!! I just recently bought the Dip Brow Pomade and love it! I also love the Soap and Glory Archery Pen for everyday as it’s so natural and subtle! x

    I am brow obsessed so I love this post. Elf was my first brow products and I agree that it’s good. My favorites are anything by ABH and my current favorite is the It Cosmetics Brow pencil. Love how unique the shape of the pencil tip is and how natural it looks.

    Lovely brows Paula :)
