Best Drugstore Eyebrow Products to Get Smudge-Proof Brows That Last All Day

Pro brow groomers agree: getting your brows on point can be a serious beauty dilemma.

No matter if your brows are sparse, over-plucked or thinning – or you just want all-day wearable brows,

you’ll need the right products to mimic the look of perfectly groomed hair.

To keep your brows looking great from daytime to nighttime,

here are the best essential brow enhancers that’ll add color, fill out your hairs, and define your brows all day long.

Beef Up Your Brows with Eyebrow Pencils, Markers, and Brow Waxes

WHAT IT IS: An eyebrow pencil or marker helps fill in and maintain the shape of your brows. When either product is used with an eyebrow wax, you can use these beauty tools to set your brows for all-day wear.

HOW TO USE: After combing and shaping brows, outline your brows with a creamy eyebrow pencil or marker.

Apply the product to your hair using short, feathery strokes. Using a flat eyeshadow brush, smooth a clear or tinted eyebrow wax over the hair to set.

  • If you are a brunette use a medium-brown brow pencil or marker.
  • Black-haired beauties look best with a medium- or dark- brown eye marker or pencil –but never black.
  • Tame your blonde brows with a taupe or light-brown eyebrow product.
  • Use a reddish-brown pencil or marker if you have auburn-hued strands.

Set & Forget With Eyebrow Gel

WHAT IS IT: After combing your brow hairs, use a clear- or tinted eyebrow gel to keep your hairs in place.

An eyebrow gel comes in a plastic tube with a mascara wand to apply the product smoothly to your hairs.

HOW TO USE: After outlining your brows with a pencil, brush the eyebrow gel toward the arch to set your brow hairs for longtime wear.

Define Your Strands with Eyebrow Powder

 

WHAT IT IS: If your brows are thinning, a colored brow powder provides more coverage than a brow pencil. When applied with a brush, eyebrow powder adds thickness to thin brows.

HOW TO USE: Sweep the powder on with a flat, firm angled brush. Brush the powder through with a clean mascara spoolie brush to blend the color. Set the powder with eyebrow gel for a long-wearing look.

Lush and thick brows are a sign of youth, so the right shape can take years off your face.

  1. If your brows are thin, use an eyebrow pencil one shade lighter than your hairs to outline your brows. Using an eyebrow brush, fill in the new brow shape with an eye shadow or brow powder to set your new brow shape.
  2. If a few brow hairs are turning gray you don’t have to dye them. Use an eyebrow powder or tinted eyebrow gel to cover them completely and keep the hairs in place.
