Thin eyebrows were a huge thing back in the 90s which left many people with no eyebrows due to years of over-plucking. This has led to a whole generation of women looking for ways to get the fuller eyebrow look.

Of course, some people were simply born with no eyebrows. Others have even lost them due to illness. And while it really doesn’t matter if you were blessed with thin or no brows, it doesn’t mean you can’t join in with the trends and give yourself fuller brows.

In fact, there are countless eyebrow pencils on the market right now that are amazing for anyone with barely there brows. You can get the look of fluffy eyebrows in no time and with just one pencil.

So if you are looking for an eyebrow pencil that will transform your brow looks, then you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got the best eyebrow pencils for fine eyebrows worth buying, along with a quick and easy guide to getting the most out of them.

The Best Eyebrow Pencils For Fine Eyebrows

Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil

Benefit have been leading the way for quite some time now with their range of eyebrow products and one of the best to come out of the brand has got to be the Precisely My Brow Pencil.

The ultra-fine tip really gets into the sparse areas of your brows and fills them in with fantastic precision to mimic natural hairs. If you are looking for a natural look with some oomph, then this pencil will certainly achieve that look for you.

With a waxy consistency this pencil is water-proof, yet blendable so you can create your most defined brow ever and keep it in place throughout the day without the dreaded smudging.

This is the pencil to choose if you’re concerned about sparse eyebrows but still want that flattering everyday natural look.

    

NYX Professional Makeup Micro Brow Pencil

You don’t have to spend the Earth to get a good quality brow product that actually works for your brows and the NYX Professional makeup Micro Brow Pencil proves that.

With a super fine tip this pencil works into the gaps of your brows to define and deepen your complete eyebrow look.

The pencil itself is dual-ended so you can blend in the product and create that ultra- fluffy brow style that’s in fashion at the moment. The best news is, yes, you can recreate the look with little to no eyebrow, so give it a go.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz

Anastasia Beverly Hills are the masters of brows and have an iconic line of brow products that will undoubtedly give you the eyebrows of dreams.

One of our favourite pencils for anyone with sparse eyebrows has to be the Brow Wizz. This retractable pencil (which comes in 12 shades, might we add) has a waxy consistency to it that helps to create the illusion of fuller brows when drawn on.

The brush at the end also helps to blend the product for a more natural look. Your brows will look effortlessly defined and complete. Anastasia Beverly Hills are not the brow Wizz’s for nothing, after-all!

Maybelline Total Temptation Eyebrow Definer Pencil

Another drugstore hit, the Maybelline Total Temptation Eyebrow Definer Pencil is actually total temptation. The pencil itself has an angled tip that works into the curves of your eyebrow for the optimum defined shape.

This means that you get a thicker end to outline your shape and a thinner point to add those natural hair strokes into any gaps and fill in the areas that need it the most.

IT Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil

With great power comes great responsibility. And great brows. The IT Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil definitely fits the brief for striking eyebrows, even if you have barely any brows in the first place.

Once you’ve defined your desired shape, you can work on filling in those gappy areas that need a bit of extra love. You can then keep the look bold for more dramatic looks or use the spoolie to blend the product in for a more natural vibe too.

One of the best things about this product is just how budge-proof it is. No matter rain, sweat or shine, your brows will stay in place and look like they’ve just been applied.

How Do I Pencil My Eyebrows If I Have None?

Even if you have no eyebrows, applying your eye pencil is actually no more difficult than those with fuller brows. In fact, once you master how to get the best out of your eyebrows with your pencil, it should only take a few minutes to achieve your day-to-day eyebrow look.

The process literally requires you to use your one pencil and an eyebrow spoolie to blend, if your pencil doesn’t already have one.

To pencil your eyebrows the first and most important step of this process is to start by drawing in your shape with your pencil. While you might not have much brow there in the first place, it is likely that you still have a natural shape to work with.

If your shape isn’t really there, you can map it out yourself. A good way to do this is to think about where your  your eyebrow arch will sit and how it will flatter your face the most.

At this point you can begin to map out your lines, so if you are recreating the shape of your brow, draw a dot where your eyebrow arch will sit.

Then, you can gently use the tip of your pencil to connect your eyebrow arch to the top of your eyebrow and the tail. Once you do this you can begin to apply subtle pressure to fill in the gaps with short strokes.

Remember, you want them to look like natural hairs, so think upward strokes, that will create that fluffier style you’re trying to get. To get the most effective look down, you really want to create a gradient effect.

To do this you ultimately want to leave the wider end of your brows (near the bridge of your nose) lighter and add more darkness from the middle of the brows to the tip.

After drawing on your brows, you can then use the spoolie to blend in the product. It’s really that easy and takes little time to do.

If you have no brows, or barely any for that matter, you are not alone. Most people enhance their natural brows with a little trickery, so it really is no different if you’re brows aren’t there in the first place.

Thankfully, it’s easier than ever before to get the look you want thanks to the products out there. We are completely spoilt for choice when it comes to the brow pencils on the market and know you’ll be able to find the right one for you that helps to define your brows and lift your face.

Our absolute favourite pick has to be the Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil. Benefit are huge in the world of brows and this pencil specifically fills a gap in the market, as well as fills in our brows extremely well.

Plus it lasts a long time without smudging, so you won’t have to reapply your brows during the day.
