3 Tools to Create Natural and Full Looking Brows

It’s time for April’s edition of Beauty Buys, and this month I want to highlight the products I use to create natural looking brows.

If you’re like me, you may have suffered from over-plucked brows in the 90s. And maybe into the early 2000s if we’re being honest. What were we thinking? Pencil thin brows are not the way to go and in effort to get a full, natural-looking brow, I have got it down to a 2 or 3 product routine. Plus, I’ve finally found the one trick to make my brows grow. 

So let’s break these down:

1. BENEFIT PRECISELY, MY BROW: 

If you’ve been a long time TTD reader, you know this product is not new to me. It’s easily my 3rd re-purchase due to the smooth and easy application. This brow pencil allows you to create thin, hair-like strokes which look natural and not at all overdone. The brush on the end is also quite handy for touch-ups or brushing out excess product.

2. BROW ZINGS TAME AND SHAPE KIT: 

Sometimes I like to use this alone or in conjunction with the brow pencil. This wax + powder duo makes it easy to blend and looks very natural. I would be sure to use a good brow brush though! In my opinion, that makes all the difference. I use the IT Cosmetics Brow Brush and love it.

3. HOURGLASS ARCH BROW FIBER GEL:

I purchased this product last month when my Boy Brow ran out. I love this. If you want to brush your brows into place and add a hint of tint and volume, this is your product.

4. CASTOR OIL

A friend of mine, and former makeup artist at MAC, told me I needed to start using castor oil at night on my brows. She promised me this would be the key to growing full brows naturally. Well guys, it worked. I’ve been using this castor oil on my brows since November and I’ve seen a noticeable difference. It doesn’t happen overnight, but I will say, consistency is key. I use it 4, maybe 5 times a week and now I feel like my brows finally have shape and are full.

What brow products do you use? Have any of you tried microblading? Let us know if it’s worth it in the comments below! xx Ashley

    Hi Ashley, awesome post! One small thing, I tried using the link you provided for the Hourglass product, and instead, it kept taking me to the Sephora page for the Benefit product. Thanks for such great information, though!

      Hi Rebeca!

      Thank you so much for letting me know! The link should be fixed now and send you to the Hourglass product if you’re still interested! Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂 xx, Ashley

    I’ve been over plucking my eyebrows for almost 15 yrs now and in February I started trying to grow them out. I’ve been using a brow growth serum and I’m seeing such a difference. It’s taking so much patience but my brows are growing back to their natural fullness. I’ve been using Grande Brow twice a day everyday and I’m going to give my brows a full year and then maybe try microblading if I need it.

      Hi Krystal!

      Thank you for sharing your brow journey with us and the product you use! I haven’t tried that one, but great recommendation! You’ll have to let me know how you like microblading if and when you end up needing it – I’m too scared, but I’ve heard a lot of amazing things about it! xx, Ashley

    You look beautiful!! I use to use all those products for my brows then I found Glossier brow boy and a brow powder. Brow boy is seriously the best brow product ever!! It’s $16 and it will give you the fullest and most realistic brows!

      Hi Andi,

      I couldn’t agree more! I just stopped using Brow Boy from Glossier when I ran out and tried the Hourglass Fiber Gel instead, but it’s still a favorite! xx, Ashley
