Product Information

Along with the versatile design, we were equally impressed by the shade range. With 10 colors, including an often overlooked gray hue, we’re confident that most people would be able to find the perfect match. Though, we did notice that the lighter colors didn’t have the best pigment payoff. Shades like Honey Blonde and Taupe needed to be applied with extra pressure to get our desired end look.

Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). We were also impressed with this pencil’s shade range: With 12 options to choose from, it has the most variety of all the products we tested. We do wish that the creamy formula was waterproof, but we still found it to be extremely long-lasting. Our brows stayed perfectly intact until it was time to remove our makeup at the end of the day. Aside from adding the ideal amount of pigment, the formula also helps condition and promote brow growth over time thanks to nourishing grapeseed oil and vitamin E. Truthfully, it was difficult to pinpoint a con, we wish the color range was more expansive. With only five shades to choose from, many people will have to miss out on this stellar product.

If you want to lengthen the tail of your brows, create more of a peak in your arch, or fill in a sparse spot, New York City-based celebrity brow artist Joey Healy says that the easiest, most effective product to use is an eyebrow pencil. If you're between two colors, Healy suggests going with the slightly lighter one. "You don't want your brows to be too dark. If anything, I'd rather see a brow that's unfilled than a brow that is way too dark because it looks inauthentic," he says.

While not as thin as the Brow Wiz, we found that the slanted triangular tip of this pencil was extremely versatile. Beyond seamlessly drawing on soft, hairlike strokes, we were also able to use this to shade in sparse areas of our brows with minimal effort. Because of the duality, we consider this pencil ideal for all types of brows, including thin and patchy arches. Anastasia Soare knows brows. Aside from being responsible for JLo's snatched eyebrows, she also is the mastermind behind her eponymous brand, Anastasia Beverly Hills. In our lab test, we tried two of the brand’s best-selling brow pencils, but the Brow Definer reigned supreme. To avoid breakage and achieve a more precise look, consider a retractable pencil with a fine tip. "Big chunky pencils or ones that need to be sharpened can be inconsistent," Healy says. "It's easier to manipulate a pencil with a retractable tip." And, according to Professional makeup artist Kelli Anne Sewell, pencils with slanted tips offer more versatility (think: filling in and drawing on hairs) than slimmer counterparts. We particularly like Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer Triangular Brow Pencil for its slanted tip that is still precise enough to create hair like strokes as well as define the arches.

Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication.After researching the top-rated eyebrow pencils on the market and asking makeup artists for their expert recommendations, we spent 30 hours putting the 38 of most popular eyebrow pencils to the test in our Manhattan-based lab. Our team of InStyle editors filled in and defined their brows with each formula, analyzing the pigment, ease of application, texture, and shade range of each. We also judged how brows looked overall. At the end of the trial, we gathered insights and narrowed down our list to the top performing brow pencils.
