WHIP UNRULY BROWS BACK INTO SHAPE WITH THESE FOOLPROOF EYEBROW WAX PRODUCTS

Whether your brows are bushy, ultra thin, or in that sweet spot in between, they can easily go from editorial-worthy to having a mind of their own in a matter of days. But don’t wave a white flag on the ongoing battle you have with your brows just yet: Try taming them with an eyebrow wax to keep them in place.

But before you go full speed ahead on crafting your eyebrows to perfection, we have a few tips from Jared Bailey, Benefit Cosmetics’ Global Brow Expert:

“Pick a product that falls into warm or cool tones depending on your hair color,” Bailey says. “Once you’ve chosen a shade that matches your brow hair tone, make tiny flicks in areas of your brow with gaps or spaces.”

“Always be sure to flick the pencil in the same direction of your hair growth. It’s much easier to make thinner strokes with deeper pencils because they are more pigmented. The lighter the shade, the more pressure you have to use to apply and the strokes get much wider. Using this spot-filling technique will give you an effortlessly full look.”

Now that you’ve gotten a few tips on how to use these products properly, take a look at our favorite eyebrow wax products, below.
