Brows: Pencil? Powder? Gel? Pomade? How to choose the brow product that's right for you


A solid brow can sharpen the simplest of looks. One can have an undone face, but kept brows and look like Beyonce. (Just kidding NO ONE can look like Beyonce 😋). You get my point. With so many products to choose from and many different mediums, it can become a process trying to figure out what works best for you.

The first question you need to ask yourself is, how much time do I have? I personally like to use a brow wax for all my brow looks. In this process I use the wax first. It creates a secure hold, and helps deepen and define the brow. If you're someone who's pressed for time and want simplicity, go for the wand brow gel. It's a quick swoop that offers subtle color, all while setting brows in shape. This process usually takes less than 2 mins. 

All art works best in layers (yes makeup is art 😉) If you have 5 minutes, you can opt for a brow pencil and brow gel. First create tiny hair brush strokes to create a natural finish, then diffuse and set with a brow gel. In this step you can use wax before pencil, for a stronger brow, or after pencil but before gel for a more subtle look. 

Now if you're a little more daring, or want something more pronounced and defined and typically longer lasting, opt for a brow pomade and/or gel combination. This is my preferred go to look. Start off with waxed and in place brows. (Works best with this process). Shape, define, and fill in with pomade. Spooly the brows a bit, (any productless wand will do), and topoff with gel to finish. Gel at the end isn't necessary. It's all based on preference.
