We'll start this list off with a bang a la the master purveyor of all things brows, Anastasia Beverly Hills.
"This is just the OG pencil," says Suzie Moldavon, an editorial makeup artist and brow sculpting wizard. "It comes in a range of 10 colors which is more comprehensive than any other line, and while new brow products are appearing on the scene every day, this is the tried and true, staple that was created by a brow guru. When using it, you can either draw fine hair strokes or add a wash of color behind the brow to give it what it needs."
Give your bank account a break without sacrificing your brow game with this pencil from BH Cosmetics. "This comes in a range of five colors and is a fraction of the price of Anastasia's Brow Wiz with similar payoff," says Moldavon. "If you fall into one of the five shades, you [likely] won't notice the difference. Also, it seems to perform better than a drugstore brand while being sold at the same price."
Use this nifty brow gel to keep your brow products from smudging throughout the day, or alone to groom your brows and keep everything in place. It's a super lightweight formula that doesn't look gunky or tacky once applied.
"This product is amazing because it is waterproof and can take you from day to night without budging. When using it, I recommend brushing your brows forward and then backward for that all-day, Cindy Crawford bushy brow," says Leiah Scheibel, makeup artist and co-founder of Scottsdale, Arizona's The Sparkle Bar.
Celebrity Makeup Artist Mary Wiles swears by Dear Dahlia's brow pencil, which comes in three shades. She says, "I love the curved nib because it gives better control and definition to brows, the product's longevity throughout the day, and the formulation consistency. I also love the colors, which seem to look good on all skin tones and hair colors."
You've probably seen Glossier's Brow Boy ads a million times in your social media feeds or on your daily commute. The verdict is in, and makeup artists say this product lives up to the hype.
"I love products that are multi-tasking, which is what Glossier's Boy Brow does," says makeup artist Annie Tevelin. "It allows you to shape, fluff, and fill in your brow area to create a fuller more shaped look. You can also choose from four shades that match the best shade to your brow area."
