Best eyebrow pencils: Shop the new beauty bag essential
Shop the best eyebrow pencils for your make-up bag...
Eyebrow pencils can make or break your beauty bag. With the power to frame your face or turn unruly, overgrown brows into a thing of beauty, it’s always worth having a great pencil to hand.
Cara Delevingne single handedly brought the big brow back, giving the green light to celebrities such as Emma Watson to rock a strong brow on the red carpet – and should you fancy recreating their look (or perhaps something a little more subtle, but equally as chic), you’ll be needing the tools to do it.
We’ve scoured the online beauty counters to bring you the top 10 eyebrow pencils, so you can create perfectly shaped, natural looking brows in seconds.
Those lucky enough to have great shape and plenty of coverage should look to Brow Bar, where professional groomers have created the ultimate eyebrow pencil for a natural looking finish.
While those looking for something a little more effective should try Charlotte Tilbury and her recently launched beauty range for the Brow Lift, where you can pick up a pencil, highlighter and brush in one.
Price-wise, expect to pay anywhere from £2.99 for a classic kohl pencil (Rimmel), and up to £32 for something seriously professional (Chantecaille).
