Brow Power: Best Eyebrow Gels, Powders, Eyebrow Pencils & Tints
When the TikTok Brow Mapping Filter went viral on our FYP, it sparked a brow revolution we did not know we needed! By taking the guess-timating out of our eyebrow shaping and makeup routine, brow mapping helped us get the best eyebrow shape and fullness for our faces. This meant no more over-plucking, over-drawing, or unbalanced brows that distract from our meticulously applied eyelash extensions!
But getting our brows into their best shape also called for a complete overhaul of our eyebrow makeup arsenal. Out went our heavy kohl pencils, harsh pomades, and one-size-fits-all brow stencils. Instead, we swapped in more natural options like brow gels for a brushed-up laminated brow effect, soft pencils to gently fill in gaps, and lightweight tints that add just the right amount of definition.
If you are ready to embrace the latest brow grooming essentials, these are our on-trend brow makeup products for creating beautiful eyebrows that bring out your features and flatter your personality too!
