The Top Brow Products We Rely on for Filling, Shaping and Fluffing Our Unruly Arches

She's a former fashion editor (who worked at various glossy mags) and stylist-turned digital beauty and lifestyle writer. She has been in the lifestyle/media industry for over 10 years and her work has also been featured on international covers like Elle France and Vanity Fair Mexico.
Some of her fave Adore Beauty products include Cicaplast B5, CeraVe Cleansing Oil and Lancôme Renergie Triple Serum.
Some things are deeply personal - the seasonal scent you wear, the ‘90s boy band playlist you hesitate to let other people be witness to in your car and of course - your brows.
We all know the power these two arches of hair above our eyes have.
Honestly, eyebrows have a little too much power if you ask me. The way they can either frame your face perfectly or send your reflection into “Who the heckkkk is that?!” territory.
That’s why we rely heavily on our holy-grail brow products.
The ones that truly do the Lord’s work to fluff, fill and shape our arches so we walk out of the house feeling and looking our best without fearing we’ll scare small children or strangers at the grocery store.
I mean, without my best eyebrow products for thin brows, I’m not sure I’d even have brows. Seriously.
My trusty brow pencil and brow lift gel is what actually gives me brows.
In fact, I haven’t been able to shut up about that amazing brow gel that gives me the perfect non-aggressive laminated look, stays put all day and doesn’t flake, so I can successfully keep my eyebrow dandruff fears at bay.
See, the Lord’s work.
And because I’m always on the hunt for the best beauty product recommendations, I asked my colleagues what their ride-or-die brow products are.
Whether you’re looking for the best brow product when figuring out how to do eyebrow makeup or even a brow growth serum that actually works to give you fluffier, healthier brows - we’ve got it all.
Even more fitting that it happens to be National Brow Day tomorrow?!
Now, scroll on for the essential brow products that are helping AB Staffers avoid eyebrow blindness at all costs.
