Product Information

Eyebrow tints are longwear liquids that temporarily color brows and are often waterproof or water-resistant. Our beauty editors took their time researching the best brow pencils on the market and selected nearly 40 to try in The Lab, our Manhattan product-testing facility. Our testers inspected various design aspects, including the shape, tip, size, sharpening requirements, and notable features.

For the best results, start by using a spoolie to groom your brows into place. Then, starting at the arches and working your way to the tails of your brows, use your pencil to fill in any thin or sparse areas, drawing short, light strokes in the direction of your hair growth. Once you've filled in any gaps, take your spoolie again and use it to fully blend out the pigment so it looks more natural. You can leave your brows as is, or, if you want to create a more lifted effect, apply some highlighter just under your brow arch. You can also add more staying power by setting your newly-defined arches with a brow gel. While pencils for eyebrow mapping come in a variety of colors, the most popular options are white and brown.It also allows your clients to better understand and see the final shape of their eyebrows, plus you can easily make small tweaks to the shape until they’re satisfied.

Get the right pencil and you won’t need to get your brows microbladed, or trouble yourself with new treatments like brow lamination. From elongating and fluffing up to defining the shape of your brows, these pencil, wax, gloss, gel and powder formulas can do it all. How we tested the best eyebrow pencils Angle your pencil from the side of your client’s nose to the outer corner of their eye to determine where the tail of their eyebrow should end. Step 5 Using a pencil for eyebrow mapping can act as a guide through which you will implement pigments during your microblading or machine brow procedure. Working between the lines you sketched out is extremely important for precise results. To identify the arch, draw a line from the dimple of the nose to the brow. This time, you should bend it slightly diagonally so that it’s in line with the outside of the iris of the eye — this is where the arch should be the tallest. Step 4 This product has a slightly dry consistency, and the tip broke a couple of times during our testing. The pigment showed up well on our tester's skin, but the shade range is somewhat limiting. Also, some color transferred onto her fingers when she ran them over her brows.Eyebrow gels help tame and shape brow hairs, and come in versions that are clear or tinted. Some also contain fibers to mimic the look of brow hair. Eyebrow powders are pressed powder pigments that can be brushed over brows for a softer, more natural look. Next, they tried out the brow pencils to see how well they actually performed. Each product was given a score from one to five based on texture, feel, pigment, shade range, wear, and staying power. Those with the highest scores were ultimately selected for this roundup. The good news is that we don’t have to tweeze as often. But here are a couple of tips when we do need to tweeze.

Brows in need of a little more definition? St. Jean recommends brow henna as an option. " Brow henna is a type of non-oxidative tint that temporarily tints the skin under the brows as well as the actual brow hairs to give a fuller look," she explains. "The henna paste is meticulously painted on to the brow area and left to tint the hairs and the skin underneath it." The length of time that the results will last will depend on your skin type."Dry skin will have longer lasting results than oily skin, but the tint on the skin will generally last one week while the tint on the brow hairs will last approximately two weeks," notes St. Jean. The dual-ended design has an attached spoolie to help with blending, fluffing, and shaping. It's also refillable—kind of like a mechanical pencil—so you can cut down on your waste. Available in eight true-to-tone shades that promise 16 hours of waterproof wear, we really have no complaints about this product. In a word, yes, though not all eyebrow pencils will work as well for this purpose. A soft, sharpened pencil will work, but twist-ups usually won’t, Cantor says. And regardless, keep in mind that any brow pencil is going to be less pigmented than a traditional eyeliner and that it shouldn’t be used in the waterline, he says. Eyebrow pencils are great for drawing a specific brow shape or sketching in individual "hairs" onto sparse brows. We also tried L'Oréal's Brow Stylist Definer, which has a nice consistency, a retractable precision tip, and a built-in spoolie. Though we appreciate the affordable price, the intense pigment made it a little hard to create natural-looking strokes, and we wish it came in a few more dark shades.To mark the front of the brow correctly, run the end of your eyebrow mapping pencil vertically from the client’s nose dimple to the inner corner of their eye, marking where the pencil crosses their brow. Step 3 Brows that are too bushy can look like an angry line across a face. Unkempt ones can give the impression of a dirty face. Very thin, drawn-on brows can create a very hard and severe look and brows that are too thin almost seem to disappear and leave the eyes without the proper framing.
