Want brows that look lifted, filled and natural? Adore Beauty's BeautyIQ team recommends specific staples, from ultra-slim pencils and laminated-hold gels to a clinically backed Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Genius serum (3.5ml, $82.40), and notes when each product works best for sparse, unruly or patchy arches.
Key Highlights You Should Know
- Use an ultra-slim pencil like ABH Brow Wiz to mimic hair-like strokes for sparse brows.
- Sculpt laminated brows with a strong-hold glue such as NYX The Brow Glue for all-day shape.
- Try ABH Brow Genius serum 3.5ml $82.40 for growth; 12-week study found 88% saw fuller brows.
- Choose clear setting gels like Benefit 24 Hour Brow Setter $39.20 for budge-proof, flake-free hold.
Some things are deeply personal - the seasonal scent you wear, the ‘90s boy band playlist you hesitate to let other people be witness to in your car and of course - your brows.
We all know the power these two arches of hair above our eyes have.
Honestly, eyebrows have a little too much power if you ask me. The way they can either frame your face perfectly or send your reflection into “Who the heckkkk is that?!” territory.
That’s why we rely heavily on our holy-grail brow products.
The ones that truly do the Lord’s work to fluff, fill and shape our arches so we walk out of the house feeling and looking our best without fearing we’ll scare small children or strangers at the grocery store.
I mean, without my best eyebrow products for thin brows, I’m not sure I’d even have brows. Seriously.
My trusty brow pencil and brow lift gel is what actually gives me brows.
In fact, I haven’t been able to shut up about that amazing brow gel that gives me the perfect non-aggressive laminated look, stays put all day and doesn’t flake, so I can successfully keep my eyebrow dandruff fears at bay.
See, the Lord’s work.
And because I’m always on the hunt for the best beauty product recommendations, I asked my colleagues what their ride-or-die brow products are.
Whether you’re looking for the best brow product when figuring out how to do eyebrow makeup or even a brow growth serum that actually works to give you fluffier, healthier brows - we’ve got it all.
Even more fitting that it happens to be National Brow Day next week?!
