Everyone has those embarrassing middle school beauty disasters that still haunt them years (or in my case, decades) later. The second I found tweezers in my older sister's makeup stash, I began plucking my bushy eyebrows to oblivion. While I thought it was a good idea at the time, to this day, I still regret my adolescent mistake. Fortunately, most of the hairs eventually grew back; however, I still rely on eyebrow pencils that give me natural arches for any sparse spots that need to be filled in.
The secret to achieving brows that appear natural is choosing a pencil with an ultra-thin tip. For this, I always lean on Hourglass' Arch Brow Micro Sculpting Pencil. But if I'm lusting for arches that are bit more dramatic (without looking drawn on), Anastasia Beverly Hills' iconic Brow Wiz pencil does the trick. No matter what product I decide on, I always go a shade lighter than my brow hairs to ensure the finish isn't too harsh. And while this might seem like a no-brainer with the spoolie provided on most eyebrow pencils, I can't stress enough how important it is to brush (and brush more) your brows immediately after applying product. There's arguably nothing worse thank looking back at an old photo and seeing noticeable lines on your arches. And, whatever pencil I decide on for the day, I make sure to always lock the product in with Glossier's Boy Brow.
To find the 10 eyebrow pencil I swear by for natural looking arches, keep scrolling below. Remember: Whatever you do, don't buy a shade too dark.
