Eyebrow Fillers, Powders, Gels - What Should I Use?

by Veena Prasade Beauty Expert

Eyebrows are a pretty big deal in the beauty world. The right eyebrows can frame your face and change your look dramatically. But to get it symmetrically right is a task. From the fullness of the eyebrows to the arch, there are a lot of concerns when it comes to eyebrow grooming.

The oversupply of products available in the market certainly doesn't help. Eyebrow pencils, eyebrow powders, gels, liquids…where do you even begin?

Well, it’s impossible to cover all these in one go. Let’s just focus on powders, and gels. Keeping in mind no one product fits all, below is a breakdown of what one should use depending on what one wants to achieve.

Eyebrow Fillers

When we think about eyebrow fillers we think about eyebrow pencils, pens, and markers. If you’re overly picky about how your eyebrows should look and want hair-like precision, you should consider eyebrow pencils and markers. The key to a perfectly natural looking eyebrow is starting with very light strokes and moving your way up by layering if needed.

Go for eyebrow markers if you have very light or sparse eyebrows. They’re super pigmented and come with a pencil-like precision. Also, a great option if you want your eyebrows to last longer or have no time for regular touch-ups. Awaken the artist inside you and let the product work its magic.

Brow Powder

As the name suggests brow powder is an eyebrow powder that is used to enhance your brows. Consider this as an eye shadow kit for brows. The powder is used to create an effect underneath the hair to make it look fuller, luscious, and more defined. The shade of the eyebrow powder varies depending upon the type of skin and eyebrow hair colour. Usually, eyebrow powders come with an applicator that helps with the smooth application of the product.

Eyebrow powders are easy to use, casually glide the applicator over your brows, layer if necessary, and work your way through until you get the desired result. So if you have a sparse area to cover or want more of a soft and natural-looking finish, brow powder should be your go-to.

Brow Gel

Remember hair gels? something everyone has used at least once to tame that one baby hair or sometimes hairstyles. The same goes for brows. Brow gels are essentially used to tame thick brows or simply hold the hair in place for a clean look. You can also just dab a little bit of this product and be done, without having to use any pencil or such. It can be used as a final product to lock the look too!

If you want a groomed look, have thick eyebrows and want to tame the beast, or simply hold the look in place, go for brow gel. There are a lot of options available in the market today; identify your budget and you should easily get one within that range.

Now that you know what to use when, go get purchasing and turn that frown into a smile.
