Did you know that your favorite fake lashes brand has branched out into makeup? Ardell's brow pen is a well-documented favorite of the aforementioned Hughes and for good reason: It's super easy to work with, it wears forever and, best of all, it's quite budget-friendly too.
"Brow Blade" really is an apt name here. The brush tip on the stain side of this dual-ended brow enhancer is so, so, so fine — finer even than your average liquid liner. As such, it's perfect for lightly feathering on brow hairs... and since it also comes with a pencil, you've got everything you need to create the bold brows you've always dreamed of rocking.
In addition to just about the cutest packaging ever, this brow pen has staying power for days. The flexible brush tip makes it easy to control and though it can definitely be built up to a more intense look, you can also apply it in a sheerer layer with more of a watercolor finish. In other words? It's perfect for achieving that microbladed look (minus the long-term commitment and hefty price tag).
This luxurious Japanese cult favorite has enjoyed years of popularity overseas (as well as in certain corners of Reddit). And for good reason: It's perfect for drawing natural, hair-like strokes and the shade range is particularly natural — in other words, you won't get that fake red tint that's distressingly common amongst brow products.
Thanks to its unique three-pronged applicator tip, this brow pen is great for filling in your arches in a flash. The tint is on the fainter side, which makes it ideal for a lower-key daytime look.
