Brows frame the whole face. These are the pencils, powder and tools I actually reach for, and what each one does best.
My brows get different help on different days. Some mornings it's a quick pencil with a spoolie to fill, shape and soften. Other days it's powder for a fuller, natural-looking finish. When I want fuller brows that outlast any pencil, henna tint is my answer.
I'm in my 40s, and I love that one of my picks was designed for mature skin. It fills, defines and sets in one step, no juggling three products. Brows can be simple. These are the tools that keep mine that way.

I use the Laura Geller Sculpt-n-Stay. It's a waterproof brow pencil and gel, and it fills in any gaps you have in your brows without looking drawn on. The waterproof gel holds the look all day. It's a two for one. Shop Sculpt-n-Stay →
I would say start with a powder. My favorite is the Anastasia Beverly Hills dual-shade Fill and Define powder. Just make sure to get a good eyebrow brush and spoolie. The dual shade customizes your color, and it's a buildable formula that blends so easy a beginner can use it. Shop the powder duo →
I use the Goof Proof brow pencil by Benefit, Shop Goof Proof → or Anastasia's Brow Definer pencil. Shop the Brow Definer → Both are good choices for natural looking brows that stay all day.
