Brows have become such a fashion statement. Some are filled
in, some are drawn in, while others just appear natural. We all want that
perfect brow, however not everyone was gifted in the brow department.
Nonetheless, there are products out there to enhance and glorify our natural
brows. All you need to do is figure out which one is best suited for your brows
and what look you want to achieve. There are four kinds of brow products that
you can use to create almost any look. These are powdered brow products, brow
pencils, brow mascaras and brow pens/ markers.

Brow powders are basically like brown eye shadow, just
matte. These products are generally used for creating a natural look and are
suited for first timers. If you are a first timer it is very important to pick
a brow powder that is slightly lighter than your natural eyebrow colour. If you
pick one that is too dark your brows will look unnatural.
Application
- Once you have chosen the right shade you want to dip the brow brush into the powder, and tap off the excess product. Then you want to trace the outline of your brows, using very light strokes. To prevent the color from running or fading, brush a layer of clear brow gel or mascara on afterwards to seal in the look.

Brow pencils
Brow pencils are one of the easiest ways of filling in your
brows. They are available in shades ranging from light brown to dark brown and
even in black. Most of these brow pencils are waxier in texture compared to
eyeliner pencils. This allows them to be user friendly by going on naturally
without the harsh lines of that of an eyeliner pencil.
Application
- To use these pencils all you need to do is lightly full in your natural eyebrow and then soften it, using the bristles attached to the pencil to create that blended look.

Brow mascaras
These are the new kids on the block. They are mostly used if
you already have thick bushy brows, but want to give them a bit more shape.
Basically the gel from the mascara clumps your brow hairs together creating a
nice brow shape. If you have really blonde brows and need a bit more colour,
then you can use tinted brow mascara, which will shape and colour your brows in
at the same time.
Application
- You need to use these like mascara, by gently combing through the brow hairs, like you would with your eyelashes.

Brow pens/ markers
These products are probably the least used, because they are
hard to get perfect. However, if you can do it, it does wonders for your brows.
Make sure that if you choose this method, that you have oil-based makeup
remover because regular makeup remover probably won’t take the product off.
Application
- If you are looking to create a natural look, you can draw in individual hairs in a flicking-like-motion. Or if you are looking for a solid brow, you can trace the shape of your natural brows and just colour them in.

- Models Prefer Brow Tint
- Prestige Cosmetics My Brow Pen
If none of these products work for you, there is no harm in
combining them. Some people will use a powder and seal it with brow mascara.
It’s really up you and what you feel comfortable with. Experimentation is your best friend.
