Hi girlies, do you prefer pencil or brow powder? I've always used pencil but wanted to try the powder. Any good brands? Could you just use eyeshadow? Thnx <3.

I actually bought browZINGS by benefit and love it- it's super pricey in my opinion ($30) but it is pretty amazing! Also it lasts forever so when you compare that it's worth it- honestly my eyebrows have never looked better. It's easy to use and looks awesome.

I love using powder because it looks more natural. A matte brown eyeshadow works well 😊 for mine I use a small slanted eyeliner brush, and a mix of a medium and darker matte brown from my too faced natural eye palette. I mostly use the medium brown (I don't remember the name) and a little bit of sexpresso. Just make sure to blend your eyebrows with your finger or a spoolie to make them look as natural and blended as possible.

I use Brow Powder. I recently picked up a brow kit by Milani and I'm loving it.

I use powder. My friend uses pencil...and sometimes looks ridiculous. If you go pencil use small light strokes!

The pencil makes the hairs fall off, after trying on different brands, I just ditched the pencil and stayed with powder, it looks better more natural.

I use the mua brow kit and the sleek one which contains a gel and powder much like brow zings. I prefer these to powder as I feel it is more natural but I am interested in macs brow pencil, don't know the name as it has a very fine point.

I dabble between the two. I use MAC retractable brow pencil in spiked and I sometimes I use an eyeshadow from Bobbi Brown that is the exact shade as the MAC pencil. If I use the eyeshadow I seal it with a swipe of NYX wax pencil for brows. Keeps them in place all day.

I switch it up based on the look that I'm going for. I usually use mac eyebrow pencil in Lingering. But I recently ran out of that and have been using their gel liner in dipdown. Then filling in sparse areas with the shadow Embark. It's a matte brown shadow. Matches my hair perfectly!
