Do you notice how different you can look before and after you get your brows groomed? This is because eyebrows help frame your features and can help to give the illusion of lifted lids or even complement your face shape.

And while many of us rely on professionals to shape and trim our brows monthly, we are left with our own devices to recreate my ideal brow shape pretty much most of the time. But there should be no excuse for poorly shaped brows because there are so many readily available products in the market that we can rely on to get our game face on. Here, eight tried and tested brow products that beauty editors swear by for perfect arches:
This brow pomade glides onto brows easily and lasts an incredible 24 hours, even after an intense yoga sesh. Unfortunately, the #70 Pomade brush which is recommended for use with the pomade is often out of stock, but if you’re looking for a good alternative, the 13rushes Angled Definer fits the bill.
One of shu uemura’s iconic products, this uniquely shaped brow pencil gives you the precision and intensity of a brow pomade or a liquid brow product, the ease of use of a pencil and the function of a spiral brush. Thanks to its knife-shaped lead, you can create tiny strokes to mimic the appearance of natural hairs, increase the intensity of your brow colours, as well as blend out the colours with just one product. It also lasts through sebum, humidity and sweat for long-lasting brow perfection.
If you have fine hairs and want to give your arches a fuller look, try this volumising brow gel. Inspired by thickening mascara, this contains tiny microfibres that cling onto your existing brow hairs, instantly giving the illusion of thicker and fuller brows. The specially designed brush is just the right size and even has two sides for building intensity and blending.
With a waterproof brow pen on one end and a spiral brush on the other, this versatile product is all you need for foolproof application. Use the fine tip to pencil in sparse spots in short and feathery strokes before using the flat side to build intensity. Finally, use the brush to comb through brows in an upward motion to blend out any harsh strokes or unevenness and you’ll have impeccably groomed brows that last all day.
BB cushions often come to mind when we think of cushion makeup but this unlikely cushion variation is not just another novelty item trying to ride on the cushion trend. The LANEIGE Eyebrow Cushion-cara performs amazingly as a brow filler. Dispensing pigments as a lightweight, ink-like format, this makeup product lets you mimic the fine hairs of your brows, allowing you to fill sparse areas while looking perfectly natural.
Perfect for filling in sparse brows, this promises the precision and high-intensity pigments of a liquid liner to achieve perfectly-defined brows. Following the direction of hair growth, use the ultra-soft application tip to draw short strokes. Once it sets, it is smudge proof and lasts all day throughout humidity and sweat.
This versatile brow palette can be used both wet or dry. Spritz some facial mist on your brow brush for perfectly defined lines or just use as a powder to fill in sparse areas.
With two complementary shades and a brow wax to help hold errant hairs in place, this nifty palette has everything you need to create any brow look you desire, from natural to intense. Apply with an angled brush for ultimate precision and blend with a spooley brush.
The OG brow pomade from Anastasia Beverly Hills ensures perfectly sleek brows all the time. Use with a slanted brush to shape, fill and tame your arches easily.
