14 Of The Best Eyebrow Make-Up Products To Buy Now
Gels, powders, pencils and pomades.
As we've learnt from Cara Delevingne, Brooke Shields and Dua Lipa, brows are important. They can shape careers, let alone faces. But if you're not blessed with killer arches and fluffy hairs, you'll need some help from brow products.
And there is truly something for everyone: from slip resistant pomades to expertly angled eyebrow pencils, tinted brow gels that define and shape without taking hours to achieve, to powders, oils and even soap (yes, really). But apply wisely...
'The biggest mistake I see is when product application is too heavy handed,' says Anastasia Soare, brow guru and founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills brow products. 'And most of the time, the hair and brow colour actually shouldn't match exactly. If you have darker hair, the brows should be a shade lighter. For lighter hair, make the brows a shade or two darker.'
Here are the very best eyebrow make-up products the beauty sphere has to offer right now.

There are many brow gels to choose from, but this one just does a little bit more that most. Heftily pigmented, it adds instant thickness as the formula grips to the hairs, and holds even the heaviest of hairs to attention.

An oldie but a goodie, the powders (available in 3 shade combinations) are easy to apply without the dreaded fall-out. Good for a natural, soft brow.
Best Brow Pen
MAC Shape & Shade Brow Tint - £19.50
If the idea of painting on pomade or dealing with a powder formula terrifies you, this fail-safe pen might be a good option. The felt-tip like nib allows you to flick little hair-like lines in, applying a bit more pressure when you want a more intense finish.
Best Waterproof Brow Product
Lancôme Sourcils Eye Brow Gel Cream - £18
We're not saying you should do your brows before you hit the beach, gym or club. But if you want to, and don't want the colour running down your face, this hard-wearing, water-proof formula is perfect.
Best Brow Shade Range
Fenty Brow MVP - £17
Brow shades aren't just a case of blond, brown, red or black, so sometimes it's tricky to find that perfect match. Enter Rihanna, and her 14 shades, from ashy blond to deep black.
Best Brow Pencil
Hourglass Arch Brow Micro Sculpting Pencil - £27
The teeny-tiny nib of this pencil gives hair-thin strokes, so the result is a natural, fluffy effect. Use a light hand and simply set with a clear gel.
Best At-Home Tint
Maybelline Tattoo Brow Easy Peel Off Tint - £12.99
An at-home tint of sorts, this will add colour and shape to your brows for up to 3 days. It's super simple to use, and the results aren't at all as scary as the word 'tattoo' implies.
Best Brow Pomade
Anastasia Beverley Hills Dipbrow Pomade - £19
A cult product, this hard-wearing pomade is creamy and buildable. A tip from the founder herself is that eyebrows should always be filled in ombre. 'Start by filing the brow from the highest arch point to the outer brow tip' says Anastasia Soare, 'and then with less pressure and product, lightly fill in the inner part of the brow.'
Best Brow Soap
Soap Brows Kit - £12.50
Soap? For your brows? You better believe it. If feathery, Insta-worthy boy brows are your goal, then one swipe of this will give you natural-looking brows that stay put for hours on end.
