Nudestix Eyebrow Stylus Pencil and Gel, $24, won Best Brows because of its slanted-tip applicator that makes filling in wimpy brows a breeze, and a gel that doesn't quit all day long. Glossier Boy Brow, $16, our honorable mention in the brows category, won us over with its swipe-and-go tinted formula that instantly plumps brows.

We've spent countless hours (and a few sleepless nights) testing hundreds of new beauty products for our 2016 TotalBeauty Awards.
