As someone obsessed with having perfectly imperfect eyebrows, I can tell you that not all eyebrow pencils were created equal. Each pencil has a unique formula — some have a soft, crayon-like texture, while others are a little on the sharp and waxy side. What side of that you fall on will depend on how you like to fill in your brows.
If you were a part of the skinny brow movement, you’re probably looking for a thin, slanted pencil that can help you shape fluffier, fuller brows where you need it. However, if you were blessed with fuller brows, you might just need to add a little shading to some sparse spots. In which case, a powdery chubby pencil might be your go-to. Either way, we all want to find the perfect pencil for faking natural-looking hairs with the flick of a wrist.
Ahead, we’ve scoured the internet to find the best brown pencils beauty land has to offer.
