TRIED & TESTED

EYEBROW ENHANCERS

FENTY BEAUTY BROW MVP £17 from Boots

★★★★★

THE pencil is super fine, which makes it easy to create little strokes and define edges, while the brush on the other end gives a fluffy, blended finish. The 14 shades, with ashy and auburn options, made it really easy to find our exact tone, which added to making us look like we could have just woken up with natural, supermodel brows.

BENEFIT BROW STYLER £29 from Debenhams, Boots

★★★★★

THIS is a 2-in-1 brow powder and pencil and aims to give either a bold brow, or a subtly defined one. We loved the pencil as it created really intricate and realistic strokes, and the angled tip was a bonus. The powder has a larger applicator and was harder to use sparingly, but once we got the hang of it, our brows looked great.

REVOLUTION 24HRS DAY & NIGHT BROW PEN

£8, Superdrug

★★★★★

ONE end has the ink tip with three small prongs, which get between the brow hairs to fill sparse areas with a pigmented tint. The other side has an angled end that dispenses a clear serum to condition brows overnight. The downside is the pen only comes in three shades – dark, warm or ash brown – so it was hard to find our match.

GOSH BROW HAIR STROKE PEN £8.99, Superdrug

★★★★★

THIS claims to last up to 24hrs as it stains brows with a “semi-tattoo ink”. We had to push down quite hard to get the liquid out, but the formula was nice and pigmented and did indeed last all day. Tip: pick your exact shade or one lighter and build up with a few coats.

CIATé MICROBLADE BROW PEN £14, ciatelondon.com

★★★★★

WE’VE been toying with the idea of real microblading, so this was exciting – but it didn’t really work for us. We needed the small prongs on the tip to reach our skin to mimic hair strokes – but they only coated brows in quite a thin tint. Maybe it would work if you had naturally thicker brows.
