Promising reviews:
”This gives the most natural, hair-like brows out of any brow product I’ve used. The tip is super fine and makes it really easy to create realistic strokes, and it’s surprisingly quick once you get the hang of it. I actually like using multiple shades to create a softer, more faded front and more defined tail, which makes the brows look even more realistic. It’s become my go-to brow product because it’s easy to use, lasts well, and gives such a natural result.” — Hayley
“I’ve been looking for a product like this for a long time. I have a lot of hair in my brows but some random sparse areas, so other brow products just look odd. This pen delivers the most natural looking hair-like strokes I’ve seen. And the pigment actually comes out, unlike others I’ve tried which were too dry. Will be buying this product for the foreseeable future!” — Noraa A.
“I have this in Auburn and Brunette because it is my favorite! If you would consider yourself a victim of the early 2000’s eyebrow trend and were left with sad over plucked eyebrows that wont grow back, then this is the stuff for you! I love the liquid tip that lets you swoop to create the look of hairs. The picture is the shade Brunette. I also love that you don’t get the little flakes like you do when you use an eyebrow pencil. It’s sweat-proof too!” — Elicia
“This is the perfect color for natural blonde hair. It is extremely easy to put on your eyebrows. For me my eyebrows are very light blonde almost non existent. I am a beginner for eyebrows adding color. This is perfect for me to apply and make my eyebrows look a little bit darker, and to be seen!” —Mo
“i was a 90’s teenager. when thin eyebrows & plucking like crazy were… the norm. now im my 40’s i have to draw in half of my eyebrows&have tried sooooo many of these eyebrow pencils, pens, wands, etc. this… shockingly, is one of the best iv tried. was super close to getting the wonderskin brand because im obsessed with their lip stains & eyeliner, but… [due] to tightened purse strings, i needed something more affordable that i can buy…. OFTEN. THIS IS IT! as long as you buy the right shade, it’s awesome! natural lines! i learned years ago that it helps to go lighter than your natural brow color or it will look fake. then just use a little eyebrow mascara (with the bristle wand) &…Viola! natural brows! very impressed.” — Jenn

“I have a drawer full of eyebrow stuff, from pencils to powders, and this is the best. I just need to fill in sparse areas and this is almost imperceptible. I advise to go lighter if you’re undecided. It stays put for me all day, but you could try a light spritz of setting spray and translucent powder if you’re worried.” — itsawrap
“I love the eyebrow pen! I have sparce brows and this make fine hair like lines. If you make quick, light strokes, it looks like actual hair. I have looked for a year on how to make my thin brows look natural instead of drawn on, and this pen has done it.” — Vickie Henley
“My favorite brow product. I have almost no eyebrows, and they’re a very faint and subtle ash brown. The color of this product, unlike so many other “ash browns” I’ve tried, is subtle and not too brown or too dark. The point is so fine that I can do really hair like strokes and get a clean shape, and I can build it up from a lighter look to a bit more bold and filled. Lasts through the day, and the pen itself lasts a good long time!” — Amazon Customer
Need more brow help? We’ve got you covered with these makeup products from our previous reporting to help plump ’em up.
A double-edged “faux brow” pen that mimics real hair
“This product is especially meaningful because it was designed with people who experience brow hair loss in mind,” Youmazzo said of the L’Oréal Faux Brow pen. ” It allows me to create realistic, natural-looking brows even when I don’t have any hair at all. It’s empowering to use a product that feels inclusive and intentional.”
As someone who has a patch missing on their eyebrow, I myself use this pen, and I’m obsessed with it. It features an ultra-fine felt tip, which is two-pronged with slightly different widths on each tip to mimic the look of real hair strands, and the ink-like product dries down almost immediately and stays put. It comes in eight realistic shades, including ashy browns, auburns, and a black shade, which I use to match my dyed black hair, and to me, it looks really natural.
An ultra-fine brow pencil
If pencil formulas are more your speed, an alopecia advocate and content creator previously suggested Benefit Cosmetics’ Precisely, My Brow pencil, which is waterproof and wears for up to 12 hours without smudging.
Available in 12 shades, this pencil features a firm texture and rich formula that allows for precise application and maximum definition.
“This product has been a staple for me because it allows for natural, hair-like strokes. [lt] gives me control without looking heavy or drawn on,” Youmazzo said.
