13. Clarins Eyebrow Pencil
The unusual toothbrush-like brush is ideal for those who have very short eyebrow hairs. Delicately blending the shade, this brush does not draw lines and tones the skin evenly and reliably.
Makeup artists recommend this tool to beginners - those who are just learning how to do eyebrow makeup. Pencils are convenient because you can literally tint your eyebrows on the go: additional tools (for example, brushes and brushes) are not needed for this. At the same time, when using an eyebrow pencil, you need to be careful. If you draw a line without taking your hands off, and even with strong pressure, the eyebrows will look unnatural. Everyone will see that they are “not yours”. To avoid this, choose a tool with a soft, "creamy" lead and do not sharpen it too hard. Draw with a pencil not lines, but light, barely noticeable strokes - then the result will look as natural as possible.
- Eyebrow shadows
Powder textures are ideal for creating a softer, more unobtrusive brow makeup. With shadows, it is easy to give the eyebrows a clearer shape (use a beveled brush for this), “fill in” their contour and thereby make them thicker. The result is easier to correct: unlike pencil lines, strokes made with shadows can be easily shaded. By the way, Maybelline was able to combine shadow and pencil and created Brow Satin with a powder rod.
- Pomade, eyebrow wax
Products with a viscous, dense texture are suitable for those who need a lasting result for the whole day. With the help of lipsticks and wax, you can, firstly, give the color of the eyebrows more brightness, secondly, gently “lay” the hairs if the eyebrows are fluffy and “naughty”, and thirdly, firmly fix their shape. The resistance of these products is very high: they withstand heat and humidity, do not wash off during the day. Thus, lipsticks and waxes are good for their versatility. It is interesting that such tools, unlike pencils and shadows, help to make eyebrows more voluminous - due to the fact that their texture envelops the hairs.
- Gel for eyebrows
Pigmented gel is an option for those who are generally satisfied with their brow shape, but would like to add volume, “stack” and fix them. For those whom nature has awarded with thick, wide and bright eyebrows, a transparent gel will do. Such eyebrows need only a light fixation to keep them neat.
- Eyebrow highlighter
Highlighters were also produced separately for eyebrow makeup. They are used to make the emphasis on the eyebrows even more noticeable. Highlighter tint the skin at the eyebrow contour from above and below. Thanks to this, the outlines of the eyebrows become clearer, and a stronger contrast with the color of the tinted hairs is also created. This tool is for "advanced" beautyholics who are ready to spend a lot of effort and time on eyebrow shaping. Check out NYX Professional Makeup's Double Ended Eye Brow Push-Up Bra with highlighter at one end.
Using several eyebrow products, you need to know the rules for combining them with each other. You can layer them only in the following order: pencil, powder, lipstick, wax, gel.
"Eyebrows, everyone needs more eyebrows!" - under such a slogan we have been living for the last few years.
If earlier the girls did not go out without painted eyelashes, now everyone has eyebrows in the foreground. And there is logic in this, with them the face immediately becomes brighter and more expressive. We could not stay away from this trend that has taken over the world, and decided to tell you about our favorite products that help to make beautiful and fashionable eyebrows. We have a lot of material, so let's not delay the introduction and let's see what our girls use to create fluffy eyebrows.
For a long time, I considered shadows to be the best tool for eyebrows. Exactly until last autumn, when I met eyebrow gel JUST make up BrowGel.
The gel (although in my opinion it is a fondant) is enclosed in a small round jar. The lipstick is very soft and plastic, it is not difficult to type it on the brush. There are 6 shades in the line, I chose #318 - brown with gray. The shade is extremely successful, it will suit many, and most importantly, it does not redden at all.
The lipstick is easy to use, it blends beautifully and does not harden in a matter of seconds. Eyebrows can be drawn both completely natural and more graphic.
Additionally, I fix my eyebrows with gel, although fixation is also indicated in the properties of the lipstick. Holds JUST make up BrowGel until make-up removal, he is not afraid of snow or rain. Removes with micellar water or hydrophilic oil.
I always shape my eyebrows with a pencil. The hands somehow still have not reached the shadows and lipsticks for the eyebrows. And the extra hassle with several means at once is not for me. With a pencil, everything is very simple, fast, and the result suits me more than.
I have already tried many different pencils and eventually settled on ARTDECO, I have been using it for a year and a half.
I had a chance to try 2 shades #3 and #6. No. 3 - warm blond with a slight redhead, not quite what I need. But number 6 is my ideal, you can’t find a better shade. The perfect dark blond with ash, but not gray, but very natural and without a shimmer (yes, there is such a misunderstanding in eyebrow pencils). It's just a 100% hit for me. The quality is great too!
ARTDECO eyebrow pencil has one significant drawback for me - there is no brush in the kit and you need to look for something extra for shading. In general, this manufacturer has pencils with a brush in the kit, but they are much more expensive, and the shades are different there. An offensive defect, a little annoying, but this trouble is easily overcome - I just took a convenient brush from another eyebrow pencil, it is like a native with it.
One pencil is enough for me for about 2.5 months with daily use.
My eyebrows are not thick at all, but I like my shape, so I use a pencil just to highlight and emphasize my eyebrows a little.
I don’t like very bright, bold (felt-tip pen) and unnatural eyebrows at all, I like neat and natural eyebrows that look organic on the face. With this pencil, this is easily and quickly achieved: I simply outline the eyebrow along the contour (not really pushing on the stylus), sometimes I make a couple more strokes at the break, after which I shade everything thoroughly with a brush. I never fill in my entire brow. And here's what happens:
At first it may seem that the pencil is too soft, but then for some reason this feeling passes. It sharpens without problems, does not break or crumble.
The durability is excellent, he survived on my face both frost and heat. By the way, it lasts all day, does not flow, except that the intensity by the end of the day is no longer the same as immediately after application, but the eyebrows still look good. In general, if you do not rub your eyebrows, they will stay with you until the very end. To victory, of course.
Eyebrows are everything to me. I almost never leave the house with “unshaped” eyebrows - either habit plays a role here, or something else, but this is true. A more or less even tone of the face, beautiful eyebrows, and now you already look like a decent person. :)
For me, there has always been and remains the easiest way to shape eyebrows with a pencil. It's just that shadows are not enough for me (considering that my eyebrows are rather bald, and I have to literally draw the whole shape), and I have not yet had time to get acquainted with various lipsticks and eyebrow gels (but I really dream). A pencil is always universal, but the most important and difficult task is to find the “right” color. I think I found it in a pencil from Eva Mosaic with the almost self-explanatory name "Ideal Brow" in the average of the presented shades "Brown Eyes".
It is quite neutral and, most importantly, without a nasty redhead. The pencil itself is just an excellent student and especially pleases me in terms of price / quality ratio. It has the right firmness - not too soft to leave lumps and crumble, and not too hard to not give color at all and scratch the skin. Pencil "Ideal Brow" is devoid of all these shortcomings. It is very economical and can be easily sharpened with a regular cosmetic sharpener.
Is that the brush for combing the eyebrows on the back of the pencil is quite hard - I'm used to blending the right places with it, but this particular brush does not do a good job of this task, so I use another one. Otherwise, this pencil is a good workhorse for a very reasonable price (about 220 rubles).
How did we ever live without all those eyebrow stuff? Now it's even hard to imagine... I've always liked fluffy, wide eyebrows and it's great that there are so many different products on the market now, there are plenty to choose from. I try and use a variety of pencils, gels, and lipsticks. But for our article, I selected those that are easiest to use, do not require special skills and are suitable even for beginners.
Artdeco Soft Kajal Liner. Now all brands have entire collections with different products for eyebrows, but my ideal pencil is for the eyes. (This is some kind of special series of soft soft pencils from Artdeco). Which is strange, because it is impossible to draw arrows or an outline with them. It gives no color, just a hint of hue and shadow. But for the eyebrows is perfect.
You don’t even need to shade it, on the swatch you can see how soft and translucent it lays down with normal pressure. I also have an eyebrow pencil from Artdeco, many of our bloggers praised it and I was not disappointed either, but still this Soft Kajal Liner remains a favorite. It is very easy for them to tone eyebrows, shape them, add colors without fear that there will be too much or clear sharp edges. And my shade 12 dimgray is great for this purpose, it is gray with a touch of cool brown, no redness or redness. Unfortunately, there are few shades, and not everyone is suitable for eyebrows, but this color is universal and “correct”, which is far from being found in all specialized eyebrow pencils.
L "etoile ID eyebrow wax. This wax is also my indispensable assistant, I buy it for the 3rd or 4th time, and have not found anything to replace it with. Or maybe you shouldn’t look for an analogue for him, Letuali is everywhere, respectively, this wax is easy to find and buy, and its price is more than humane (about 350 rubles).
It should suit those who have their own good eyebrows and just need to style them beautifully and add a little color. The main advantages of this wax: 1) it is tinted and gives a little color and volume to the hairs, 2) it is in a convenient pencil form. It takes literally 2-3 minutes to apply it on the eyebrows and style them with a brush. There will be no unpleasant gluing and wet shine, as with many gels. There will be medium hold and light toning, just what you need for natural daytime makeup.
I have shade 202 courbe which is a translucent taupe that is perfect for those with dark brows.
The photo shows the result after drawing with a pencil and waxing.
If someone asks me to name the best brow tint, I will name brow pomade without much hesitation. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade. This tool was a real discovery for me!
The lipstick has a dense, well-pigmented, creamy texture. It is easy to pick up on the brush and spreads over the skin without leaving lumps or gaps.
If desired, with the help of lipstick, you can create both a very light and natural result, and completely change the shape of the eyebrows, finish the missing hairs, make the eyebrows visually more voluminous and thick. Lipstick fixes the hairs well, keeping the desired shape of the eyebrows for a long time.
I just can't help but note the durability of Dipbrow Pomade. Throughout the day, it stays in place, does not fade at all, does not spread and does not fall into the pores.
I usually use pomade for more “ceremonial” occasions, but for a quick daily make-up I prefer brow gels. My favorites include Sleek Brow Perfector, Art-Visage Fix&Care and Essence Make me Brow.
Gel for eyebrows and eyelashes Art-Visage Fix&Care is very comfortable, absolutely not felt on the eyebrows, while fixing them just fine. Perfect in every way except the look. After several applications, from contact with other makeup products, the gel begins to become cloudy and dark, which is clearly visible through the transparent walls of the bottle. For me, this factor is not critical, so I plan to buy the gel in the future. The cost is only 150 rubles.
If I need a "reinforced concrete" eyebrow fixation, then I choose the Sleek Brow Perfector gel. It is felt for a long time on the eyebrows, which at first brings me a little discomfort. But after complete curing, you can be 100% sure that the shape given to the eyebrows will last in its original form until the make-up removal. The cost is about 600 rubles.
"Before and after" with Essence brow gel
I bought the Essence Make me Brow tint eyebrow gel not so long ago, but I already managed to evaluate it in action. The gel allows you to quickly style your eyebrows, fixes well (especially if applied in two layers), and also gives a light, natural shade and slightly fills in the gaps between the hairs. The result is more expressive than with previous gels, the eyebrows look more voluminous and clear. I will definitely repeat the purchase. The cost is 250 rubles.
Despite the fact that I use tinted eyebrows every day (although I can’t say that I really need it), I still don’t have a favorite product.
For a long time I used the Essence eyeshadow set, then I wanted to get acquainted with such a product as eyebrow lipstick - I don’t like eyebrow pencils at all. Without thinking twice, I turned to my favorite brand NYX and ordered Tame&frame Tinted Brow Pomade in shade 03 Brunette. When I opened the package, I was somewhat surprised by the shade - it turned out to be lighter than I expected and very warm. In principle, I have a warm color type, so this is not critical for me, but still I wanted a more neutral eyebrow product, and the same lipstick sometimes even goes green.
But everything would be fine - you can use it, but the lipstick dried up very quickly! I always close the lid, and when working, turn the jar upside down, minimizing the flow of air, but in this case, this life hack did not work, alas.
Without thinking twice, I added Duraline Inglot to the product. It helped for a while, but the lipstick quickly dried up again. I tried to "draw" just like that, dried up, but it didn't work: Tinted Brow Pomade began to crumble, reluctantly picking up on the brush. In general, continuous frustration. So I continue to periodically dilute the already completely dry lipstick with Duraline, quietly to myself the fire that day when I decided to try this particular product.
A few words about the good: the lipstick is very resistant! It will not crawl away, will not be imprinted, and will be in place right up to the make-up removal. And when the lipstick has a more plastic consistency, eyebrow shaping takes a few seconds: one or two - and you're done. The cost is 590 rubles.
The second product I use for shaping my eyebrows is the famous Maybelline Color Tattoo cream shadows in the equally famous shade No. 40 Permanent Taupe.
For more than one year they have been known in the blogosphere as a successful product for eyebrow shaping, although for a long time I was skeptical about this idea: I remind you that I have a warm color type, and this taupe is clearly cold on me, not neutral. But one day I decided to try it and... I really liked using shadows in this way, because on my eyebrows they give the right shade that suits me completely. Plus, Color Tattoos don't dry out as well as NYX lipsticks - it's understandable that I've been reaching out to them more and more lately. The cost is 400 rubles.
Despite everything, I really want to try the brow legend - Anastasia Beverly Hills eyebrow lipstick. I hope it looks more plastic than the NYX Tame&frame.
What do you use for eyebrow shaping? Any matches with our girls' favorites?
The topic of eyebrows worries all the girls of the country for a very long time. After many years of fashion for “strings” and tattooing, the awareness of all the beauty and charm of well-groomed, natural, “sable” eyebrows has finally come. Several years of diligent cultivation flew by unnoticed. The time has come to model, style, color and generally modernize the eyebrows in every possible way.
The beauty market reacted instantly. Eyebrow products began to appear in all market segments from mass market to luxury. It is now difficult to find a cosmetic company that has not presented at least one eyebrow product.
It is not possible to review all existing tools due to the variety of forms and manufacturers. The happy owners of Krygina Box "Eyebrow products up to 500 rubles" have already been able to try and appreciate many products, so in this post we decided to focus on worthy budget products, the quality of which is in no way inferior to expensive counterparts.

For these purposes, a huge variety of products are presented on the beauty market: transparent fixing gels, tint mascaras, markers, powders, pencils, shadows, waxes and even lipsticks.
The most indispensable thing in eyebrow care, of course, is the Makeup2Makeup brush, and the most popular product for eyebrows is still a regular pencil. It is available in almost any women's cosmetic bag. A huge variety of pencils can be found on the budget products market. They differ in lead (shape and hardness), sharpening method (sharpener or automatic pencil), the presence or absence of a brush in the kit. Hard and sharp pencils easily remove missing hairs, soft ones fill the space between them.
