15 Best Drugstore Eyebrow Pencils for Instagram-Worthy Brows
Get your perfect brows for under $10.
When it comes to Ree Drummond’s go-to makeup, a great eyeliner and black mascara (applied in no less than 72 coats!) are a must. But if you have a couple extra minutes, you should take them to play up the frame of the face—your eyebrows! Thick, fluffy eyebrows are all the rage these days, but if you don't have them naturally, you can still create the look with one of the best drugstore eyebrow pencils. That's right, you don't have to break the bank for eye-catching brows. Most of the pencils on this list cost less than $10 and even the priciest pick will only set you back about $17!
Eyebrow trends are constantly changing (in the 1990s, they were thin; today, they're thick and fluffy), so the most important thing to keep in mind is your personal style and your hair texture/color. If you have sparse brows, you'll want a fine-tipped pencil to help you precisely fill in each hair. If you want a flawless but natural look, pick up a pencil with a brush at the end for blending the pigment into your brow hairs. No time to retouch? Pencils that are waterproof and smudge proof will be your saving grace!
And don’t forget that color is key: The right type of pencil is important, but so is the right shade. For the most natural looking brow color, it’s always better to go a shade lighter than a shade darker if you can't match your hair color exactly.
Click through to find some of best drugstore eyebrow pencils available. If you need a little help on how to use them, check out this simple guide on how to fill in brows.
