Which is better, eyebrow powder or eyebrow pencil?

Makeup is a compulsory course for many modern girls. It is also a very sophisticated subject. It is not easy to put on a good makeup, especially in today's market with a wide variety of cosmetics. Choosing a good cosmetic and matching it properly is not something that can be done casually. This is also a matter of great distress to many female friends. For example, some female friends don't know whether it is better to use eyebrow powder or eyebrow pencil for makeup.

In fact, as for the question of whether it is better to use eyebrow powder or eyebrow pencil, as long as we understand the advantages and disadvantages of these two cosmetics, we can easily choose which cosmetics to use. Let us learn about these two cosmetics together.

Eyebrow pencil: The most common eyebrow product, and the "ancestor" of various eyebrow products that evolved later. When using, the eyebrow pencil should be soft enough and smooth in texture without feeling that the skin is being pulled.

Advantages: Eyebrow pencils are easy to use and control, one eyebrow pencil can be used for a long time, and the effect will be very natural if drawn properly. Try the Benefit quick-acting eyebrow pencil (pictured), one end of which can be easily slid across the brows, and the other end is equipped with a special brush head for easy application and touch-up, RMB 230/1.2g.

Disadvantages: The lines drawn with eyebrow pencil may be a bit rigid, making you look too strict.

If you don't want to draw eyebrows like Joan Crawford, you can hold your hand at the end of the eyebrow pencil so that you can draw more flexibly. Also, try to draw your eyebrows quickly and gently, drawing each hair one by one according to the direction of hair growth. Use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to erase those hard, exaggerated lines.

Eyebrow powder: Matte eyebrow powder can obviously fill the gaps between eyebrows and help modify the eyebrow shape. If you don’t have eyebrow powder, any eye shadow that matches the color of your eyebrows can also have the same effect.

Pros: Eyebrow powder has a very natural effect, long-lasting color and is versatile (it can be used after eyebrow pencil to set makeup, and before eyebrow gel). We recommend MAC Sculpting Eyebrow Powder, a two-color eyebrow powder box with neutral eyebrow powder, 5 colors to choose from, RMB 180.

Disadvantages: Can be a bit heavy if used improperly. To avoid this, use an ultra-fine angled brush to apply brow powder. If it still looks a bit heavy, you can also use some loose powder on your eyebrows to cover it up.

I believe that everyone should have no doubts about whether eyebrow powder or eyebrow pencil is better. For those who understand the difference between these two kinds of cosmetics, they should be able to make a choice according to their own makeup needs. In our lives, we can also communicate with a few close friends, which is very beneficial to the growth of our knowledge.
