You must have heard a lot about how important it is to have the right eyebrows for your face and that's because it's true. The tiniest tweak to the eyebrow shape do wonders in highlighting your best facial features and creating balance.
If you trust yourself to transform your own eyebrows - which you should as it's fairly easy - here are some of the best eyebrow shaping tools to have in your beauty arsenal:
#1 Best Tweezers For Eyebrow Shaping: Tweezerman Point Tweezers ($42)
While tweezers may all look alike, not all of them are created equal. Slanted tweezers work best for general hair removal and are more beginner friendly, while pointed tweezers are ideal for precise plucking. Then there's also material to think about. Stainless steel is the best way to go as they're durable and provide a comfortable, firm grip that will make the tweezing process more efficient.

We'd recommend Tweezerman's Point Tweezers as they have extremely sharp points that guarantees you'll never pluck a hair by mistake. They're also great for the tricky ingrown hairs and hard-to-reach areas. It will take some practice to get used to the fine tips, but once you get the hang of it, it'll be a breeze to shape your brows.
#2 Best Scissors & Brush For Eyebrow Shaping: Sephora Collection Brow Defining Set ($21)
When you encounter a stray hair that you can't pluck as you want one half of it untouched, that's when brow scissors come in handy. Look for ones with sharp, curved blades that will allow for precise trimming like the scissors in the Sephora Collection Brow Defining Set.

This value-for-money set comes with a set of stainless steel scissors that has very narrow blades that ensure an ultra-precise cut. Completing it is a spoolie brush that you can use to neaten your brows.
#3 Best Eyebrow Pencil: Huda Beauty #BOMBBROWS Microshade Brow Pencil
Unless you're blessed with full brows, there'll be some sparse spots in your newly shaped brows which can be filled in with a brow pencil, powder or gel for a more defined look. Brow pencils are the most versatile option and works particularly well for those who have specific gaps or sparse inner corners or tails.

The Huda Beauty #BOMBBROWS Microshade Brow Pencil has an ultra-fine 0.9mm tip that creates soft, hair-like strokes for a natural look. The weightless formula is highly pigmented and glides on like a dream thanks to its creamy formula made with vitamin E, castor oil, and coconut oil. It's also water-, sweat- and smudge-proof so you don't have to worry about your brows sliding off your face in the middle of the day.
#4 Best Eyebrow Powder: Kate Designing Eyebrow 3D ($30.24)
Brow powders create a natural, soft look that goes well with Korean-style makeup. They can also be used on top of brow pencils to make them last longer and create an even fuller-looking brow.

If you're looking for something beginner-friendly, go for the Kate Designing Eyebrow 3DA. The powder is finely milled and lightly pigmented so it's almost impossible to mess things up and the results will look natural. It also comes with ligher shades that can be used for contouring the nose.
#5 Best Eyebrow Gel: Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel ($18)
If your eyebrows are thick and unruly, a brow gel will help keep it in place. It can be used on its own if your brows don't need filling in, or applied over the top of brow pencils or powders to set them in place. They come in both clear and coloured versions.

The Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel is one of the most raved beauty products on the market and for good reason. The clear gel is lightweight and easy to work with. After it dries down, the eyebrows stay in place all day and don't feel stiff or overly hard.
