Are Powders the Secret to Great Brows?
The secret to fantastic, full brows is one of the most elusive mysteries in the beauty world. Are they attained through a serum, a pencil, a gel, or rather are they something you’re just born with and we should all just give up now? Although this is bound to be a search we’ll continue for years to come, that doesn’t stop us from trying every product under the sun in attempts to locate the Holy Grail of brows. Our latest obsession comes in the form of a eyebrow powders.
These pencil-powder-hybrid sticks have the easy application of a pencil but the coverage of powders more traditionally found in palette form. With tiny applicator tips that allow for precision, any bare spots suddenly look filled. And those already-full areas are only enhanced further. Plus the unique texture of the formula looks infinitely more natural than a sharp pencil or an awkwardly brow-tinted spot of skin (a result we often find from gels). Scroll through to see some of the top options out there!
