Perfect Eyebrow Essentials
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, our smiles have been hidden behind masks, leaving only our eyes and eyebrows visible to others. Almost two years into this pandemic, most people are still wearing masks as precautionary measures against COVID, and our eyebrows are in the spotlight more than ever before! With all this attention, we want those brows looking their best., In this article, we’ll go over some of our favorite eyebrow products from Benefit Cosmetics, Maybelline, and Urban Decay!
Benefit Cosmetics Precisely My Brow Pencil
This is one of the most popular eyebrow pencils on the market, and it’s no mystery why! It allows for very precise application, allowing the creation of very small strokes for that natural brow appearance. It also includes a spoolie brush on one end. A spoolie brush is mascara wand for our brows. This pencil is everything you need for a quick application (after some practice) that lasts all day long. It’s waterproof, so no worries of it wiping off, and it comes in 12 shades so everyone can find a match!
Available: Ulta – $24 (.002 oz)
Benefit Cosmetics 24-Hour Brow Setter Clear Eyebrow Gel
This brow setter is the Holy Grail of eyebrow enthusiasts everywhere! It has a dual sided wand that is thicker on one side and thinner on the other, allowing for maximum coverage of eyebrow hairs. Only a small amount of product is needed to lock in your brow look all day long without any flaking. It works with any type of brow pencil or pen for a natural look. Just use your pen or pencil to fill in the brows, then set them with this clear gel for perfect brows all day!
Available: Ulta – $24 (.23 oz) or $14 (.11 oz)
Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim Defining Eyebrow Pencil
Maybelline’s products can be found in a variety of stores, including Target, Walgreens, and CVS, so it’s very convenient to pick up this gem of an eyebrow pencil! This eyebrow pencil comes in six shades, ranging from light blonde to black. Unlike some automatic pencils (no sharpening required), the formula allows for a smooth application, and the tip won’t break off easily.
Available: Target – $6.99 (.003 oz)
Urban Decay Brow Blade Waterproof Eyebrow Pencil & Ink Stain
This product is unique because it is both an eyebrow pen and a pencil. One tip is a felt tip, which allows for thin and precise lines when filling in the brow; the other tip is an automatic pencil. It comes in nine shades, from taupe to brown-black. Maybelline also suggests you pair this with their Lash Sensational Mascara to achieve a full fan effect. One thing to watch out for: while using the felt tip side, if it’s pointed downward for too long, the product builds up at the tip. Otherwise, it’s perfect!
Available: Ulta – $26 (.01 oz)
