8 must-have brow products for perfect arches

Your eyebrows do so much to shape your face. Here’s how to make sure they really look polished

If you’re a millennial, you know this: the noughties were seriously the worst time for our brows—we tweezed them to death and whittled them down to razor-thin arches that we’re still working to really genuinely grow out. But the good news is that the brow industry boom—thanks largely to the popularity of big, brushed up, filled-in arches—has seen brands creating smart and efficient products in every kind of formula and delivery method possible. Here are some you can try.

Benefit Ka-Brow! Eyebrow Cream Gel Colour₹2,450Shop hereThis cream-gel colour is easy to apply—you can just stroke a tiny amount onto your brows from the end to the arch. The built-in, hard-angled brush fills, sculpts and defines brows but you can decide how dramatic you want to get—a little goes a long way.
