Beauty trends are ever-changing but one look here that will last for 2022 is big, bushy, and bold brows.
It can be hard to imagine a time when thin pencil brows became mainstream, but it happened everywhere in the ’90s.
However, since Cara Delevingne started bushy eyebrows trending in the mid-2000s, full arches were very popular across the globe. Regardless of your brow shape, the best brow pencils can help you achieve the look you want in no time.
Today, there are many eyebrow products to choose from, but pencils only help you transform your eyebrows gently. They allow you to create perfect definition and volume – whether your brows are sparse or fuller.
If you need help choosing the right one, we’ve reviewed the best brow pencils available – including budget-friendly options – and included them in our guide below.

This ultra-precise pencil from Benefit boasts multiple five-star reviews from beauty enthusiasts, who claim it gives them “the perfect brows”. Use the micro-tip to paint sparse areas with feather-like strokes, then blend the product evenly with the included spoolie brush.
Highly pigmented, anti-wrinkle formula lasts up to 12 hours and can be used to create both fuller and natural looking brows. A great all-rounder.
