There is a sea of eyebrow powders out there, calling your name. And like the siren’s call, you are drawn to it. But which one to pick? Which brand, which color, which texture?

Sound familiar? Ever found yourself lost in this vast sea, desperately seeking the one that aligns with your unique brow goals? Well, you’re not alone. The world of eyebrow powders is expansive. And selecting the right one for you can be a game-changer in achieving those flawless arches you've been dreaming of. In this ultimate guide, we will delve deep into the intricacies of eyebrow powders, shining a spotlight on the best eyebrow powders, how to pick them for yourself, and checking brands like Savarnas Mantra that promise a wide spectrum in this space. 

The Basics of The Right Eyebrow Powder:

You know what it is, and yet, let’s clear up a few basics — eyebrow powder is a makeup product specifically created to enhance the appearance of your eyebrows. It is meant to add some color, depth, and sometimes even bulk or volume to your brows. The fine-milled pigmented powder adheres to your skin and yet doesn’t look unnatural when it blends with your hair. This last point is what makes or breaks a good eyebrow powder. We will delve deeper into this later in the blog!

Some History: How Did The Right Eyebrow Powder Come To Be?

Not going to bore you with history lessons, but here are some interesting facts about eyebrow powder that you, as a brow enthusiast, must know:

•           Eyebrow powders (they were called enhancers once) date back centuries. 

•           Inhabitants of ancient civilizations used varied substances such as soot and crushed minerals to do their brow makeup. The soot was too smooth, and crushed minerals sometimes came off easily.

•           Over time, these enhancers evolved into eyebrow powders and became more sophisticated. 

•           Modern formulations were introduced. Textures and pigments were played around with. And voila, you had your modern-day eyebrow powders. 

•           FYI, very few brands still base their formulations on the ancient and the modern. One of them is Savarnas Mantra.

What Sets the Right Eyebrow Powder Apart?

Before jumping into the nitty-gritty, let's dissect what makes eyebrow powder the absolute ‘right' choice for you. It’s the perfect combination of factors. This means that the right eyebrow powder must have:

1.         Amazing pigmentation.

2.         It should easily be buildable, ie you should be able to brush up the volume of your brows without making them look unnatural.

3.         There must be a wide range of shades to choose from (no two brows are the same)!

4.         The right eyebrow powder must be blendable, which means it should mingle seamlessly with your brow skin and hair. 

5.         Last, but not least — it should not look like a cosmetic. The best eyebrow powder is the one that doesn’t even look like it when applied. 

Choosing the Right Shade:

Now that we have established the basics of the right eyebrow powder, here’s the enhanced skill in choosing the right shade for you.

Rule 1: Learn how to ignore the wrong shade. Oh yes, this one’s inevitable. You will put your hands first on a shade that is the same or closest to your eyebrows. Wrong move. Put it back. A dark brown eyebrow powder on dark brown brows is not a good idea. It will give you that unnatural look, maybe even make the surrounding skin feel too highlighted. 

Rule 2: Let your fingers hover over an eyebrow powder that is a shade lighter than your natural hair color. So, light brown or auburn for dark brown eyebrows. Perfect. This will sit easier in the backdrop of your brow hairs, as well as build a natural body in case you want to extend or fill your eyebrows. 

Rule 3: Do not try to grab darker colors for greying or mature eyebrows. This is a mistake many make and then repent. The mismatch in their natural salt-and-pepper with a darker eyebrow powder stands out screaming on their face. Instead, own up to the greys and choose something unique. Like a grey or silvery blond eyebrow powder. Savarnas Mantra is one of the few brands that makes a Moonstone Eyebrow Powder specifically for mature brows. It sits perfectly. 

Checking The Right Eyebrow Powder

Say, you have ordered the right brow powder. It’s at your doorstep. Now there is a way to check if it is perfect for you or not. You must apply it correctly because most people out there struggle with it. 

•           The key is to keep your hand light at first. Very light. 

•           Do not take too much eyebrow powder on your brush. And if you do, dust it on the back of your hand. 

•           Start from the inside edge, and go in gentle strokes in the direction of your hair growth. 

•           You may add more powder in the body, to add that depth, but lighten your hand as you reach the outside tapering edges.

•           Preferably, do not try to change the shape of your eyebrows with the brow powder. 

Temporary Eyebrow Tinting:

2023 was all about eyebrow tinting. But most of us don’t dare to go for such a drastic treatment. The alternative is eyebrow powder and a clear gel. You can choose an eyebrow powder shade of your liking, apply it thoroughly, and lock it in with a coat of clear eyebrow gel. This is creative, gives you an instant change, and is easily washed off at night. You can check out an array of hues on the Savarnas Mantra website. They have blondes, blacks, browns, and even auburns. 

Why Choose Eyebrow Powder Over Other Brow Makeup?

You may have heard about pencils and gels. You may even be using it. But eyebrow powders offer a unique set of advantages over them. The powder has a softer application, it allows for a more natural finish, and it avoids harsh, precise lines of pencils. To add to that, the buildable nature of powders gives you the flexibility to play around with your look. Do you want your brows darker or lighter, more natural, or heavily done? That control is better with eyebrow powders.

Choosing the right eyebrow powder is a personal journey. You must take it with an informed mind. Hopefully, after this extensive guide, you are well-equipped to pick your eyebrow powder and start enjoying those thick, attractive arches!
