When it comes to choosing the right eyebrow pencil, you could be tricked into thinking that the more you spend, the better the product. And granted, we love a Chanel brow pencil as much as the next gal, but sometimes there are little gems hiding away in the budget beauty aisles that really are as good as the rest.
And really – what is it that makes the more expensive brow pencils better than their cheap and cheerful little sister counterparts? Sure, they might have fancier packaging, snazzier spoolie brushes and a built in tweezer… but good brows doesn't have to mean hefty dollars.
To help you find the hidden gems that won’t break the bank, we’ve rounded up the very best, super-affordable eyebrow pencils – all under a tenner. Leaving you all the more cash-money to spend on your wardrobe…or Uber (no judgement here).
