If you buy one brow product, make it an eyebrow pencil. These pigment-packed heroes are dedicated to conveniently shaping, filling and defining your brows to look perfect at all angles.
The transformative power of eyebrows is undeniable. They take centre stage on your face and hold the incredible ability to transform your gaze, sculpt your features and enhance your eyes. They are the frame around the windows to the soul.
Our brows consistently fall subject to iconic beauty trends: over-plucked, bushy, bleached and fluffy to name a few. But one tool remains constant in achieving any of these looks: an eyebrow pencil. Packed with pigment to fill and define your brows, just how you like them.
They really are the holy grail of eyebrow products and reserve a well-deserved space in our beauty bags. Here are our top brow pencils available right now.

Your brows but better is achieved with this ultra-gentle brow pencil. It glides softly over the skin and deposits a soft pigment of colour to fill in sparse areas. Use the comb before to shape your brows and after to diffuse the colour and create a fluffy effect.

Make-up and haircare meet in this hard-working formula. Blending castor oil with vitamin B5, it nourishes your brows while you wear it to encourage growth. Use the thick side to fill in areas and the thin side to add feathered strokes to add definition.
