Gel
These gels range from barely there to extreme hold. I have tinted and clear options. They should not leave a residue and won't dry shiny or yucky.
You can tell Benefit to step aside! This brow gel adds a hint of brown tint while holding your brows softly in place all day. No crunchy brows! The tiny spoolie is a must.
Wow Tinted Brow Gel
This is a clear brow gel that holds your brows in place all day without shine. It's not crunch and the small spoolie wand is easy to control.
Eyebrow Glue Instant Brow Styler | NYX Professional Makeup
This is another great find from Nyx. The wand is rather large but this can also double as a flyaway tamer for your hair.
Control Freak Eyebrow Gel | NYX Professional Makeup
This product has light and flexible hold for your brows without shine. It's best for those that don't wear makeup or that want a very minimal look. It won't look like much on the lashes.
Clear Brow & Lash Mascara
This is one of my favorite eyebrow gels! I use it for special occasion makeup when I really want my brows locked in place all day even in humidity. It is clear and not shiny.
Maybelline Super Lock Brow Glue Eyebrow Gel
This is a super-hold brow gel that will give you that laminated look for a day if you want it.
Brow Laminating Gel - Clear-Drying Brow Gel
This is another super hold brow gel for that all-day laminated look.
Ardell Brow Glue – Instant Lamination Lift Gel
This is literally the cheapest brow gel that is also never ending. It took me YEARS to use mine up, even though I used it almost every time that I did my daily makeup. Even when I removed the stopper it never dried up and kept going. I think I had th...
make me brow eyebrow gel mascara
This is a basic tinted brow gel that gives you medium soft hold.
Brow-Sessive Brow Shaping Gel
I keep 2 of these at all times. One for when I'm not wearing makeup but want to look put together, it cleanly gives your brows some lift. The other I use with tinted brow products.
Mega Clear Brow & Lash Mascara
This is perhaps my favorite brow gel and I think it's discontinued! it magically fills and shapes/holds at the same time so you can skip a step. The applicator is precise.
L'Oreal Paris Brow Stylist Plumper Mascara Transparent 385
This is a clear brow gel that gives medium hold.
Brow
Pen
These are my favorite pens! They have the best brunette color without bleeding or drying shiny.
Nyx gives you a spot-on color match and it doesn't bleed or dry shiny. It's one of the best at the drugstore.
Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen
This is such an affordable brow pen that simply works surprisingly well.
Good Brow Day Waterproof Brow Pen
While this is my least favorite brow pen, you might like it. It has the finest and lightest pigmentation I've ever experienced. You might think it's not working or dried up, but it's there.
Holy Strokes Micro-Fine Brow Pen
This is the brow pen that I've been using all year and I'm trying to pan it. The gel holds your hairs in place all day softly with no residue. The pen is great. Pefect color.
Build-A-Brow 2-in-1 Brow Pen and Sealing Gel Eye Makeup
Pencil/Powder
Most of these are skinny pencils for hair-like strokes.
This retractible brow pencil has a slightly larger tip than what you may be used to. It's not ideal for hair-like strokes, but, I love it for getting a super quick fill while also being able to stay within the brow hairline.
Best Eyebrow Pencil - Instant Lift Brow Pencil
This is their tiny brow pencil for creating hair like strokes. It includes a skinny spoolie.
Ultimate Brow™ Micro Brow Pencil
This skinny retractable pencil has a triangular shape that does a great job of creating natural, hair-like strokes. It also includes a spoolie.
Ultimate Brow Retractable
This is my favorite triangular pencil! I think it's a bit creamier than wet n wild, and definitely an Anastasia Beverly Hills dupe. The small yet round spoolie is unique and does a good job.
Total Temptation® Eyebrow Definer Eye Pencil
If you are looking for traditional brow powder, wet n wild has everything that you need in a compact kit. The tools are useful. The powders work great.
Ultimate Brow Kit
This is a skinny brow pencil that is great at creating hair like strokes and is beginner friendly. I bought this for my mom as her first eyebrow pencil.
Ultra Precise Retractable Eyebrow Pencil
Pomade/Soap
These are my potted favorites plus soap.
This is good for moderately held up brows but is not a direct dupe for Anastasia Beverly Hills. It will fall flat in humidity.
Brow Lift - Clear Eyebrow Gel
This is one of my most exciting makeup finds EVER! Ioni at Dollar Tree… $1.25 for their brow freeze. It's 100% a dupe for Anastasia Beverly Hills. It feels criminal. I wear it all the time even for special occasions. It lasts in humidity without bein...
ioni brow freeze : r/dollartreebeauty
If you want to try soap brows get your booty over to Dollar Tree and get yourself a $1.25 bar. It will last forever. Pears soap is clear so their won't be any residue, tint, or shine to your brows. Soap is incredible at keeping them held in place all...
Pears Soap
This is the drugstore OG! Let me tell you no shame… I've owned my pot for probably 10+ years. It never runs out or expires. The formula has not changed or dried out. I love it, it's like thick brownie batter and it gives you the prettiest brows.
Elf Lock on Liner and Brow Cream
You can absolutely get elf's Soap Brows and it will work fine. Perhaps more travel friendly. Pears Soap will always be the best value.
