I Used to Be Rubbish at Doing My Brows Until I Tried This Product
For me, filling in my eyebrows is akin to wearing a bra. Although it's not entirely necessary, especially in lockdown, I just feel so much more put-together when they're on. When I'm popping to the shop, I always quickly fill in my brows to feel more like myself, even if my face is otherwise completely makeup-free. Being naturally blessed in the brow department isn't something I have been afforded, however. My brows lack a clear shape and grow so painfully slowly that I don't have them shaped professionally through fear that they'd over-prune them and I would be left with absolutely nothing to work with. I'm not sure I could handle a permanent '90s eyebrow.
Instead, I pluck the odd hair here and there and rely heavily on brow products to create the appearance of a naturally full look. Sure, there have been some questionable looks over the years, but luckily for me, they aren't heavily documented, and now I can confidently say I have found a brow pen that I swear by. Enter, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pen.
While lots has been written about ABH's cult brow products over the years—after all, founder Anastasia Soare is known for shaping the brows of the Hollywood elite—it's the brand's Dipbrow Pomade that has always drawn most of the adulation. It is a great product if you're looking to create a full-brow look, but if you're looking for something that can be feathery, light and more natural, then the Brow Pen needs to be your next pick.

The pen comes in nine shades, from a light blonde to a deep ebony, so there's pretty much a shade to suit any hair hue. Top tip: When first using it, it's important that your strokes are really light, as the pigment is very strong. For best results, I like to start at the inner corner of my brow and gently brush upwards to the tail.

Trust me—It's the easiest brow pen I've ever used, and now, it's the one I always return to.

This pairs well with the Milk Makeup Kush Fiber Brow Gel for a laid-back but full-brow finish. The nib's fork-like shape mimics hairs really well.
Like the Anastasia Beverly Hills pen, this is available in nine shades, so it's a good high-street alternative if it's your first foray into using a brow pen.
Up next, I tried every product from The Ordinary, and these are the ones I'd recommend.
