Brow Dip vs. Brow Pencil: Which One Is Right for You?

It is the question we get most often: should I use the Brow Dip or a brow pencil? The honest answer is that they do different things, and the best choice depends on your brows, your routine and the look you love.

Choose the Brow Dip if...

You want a defined, styled brow that stays put. The Brow Dip is a waterproof pomade with a cream powder formula. You apply it with an angled brush, which means you are in full control: a soft wash of colour on lazy days, a sharp defined brow for a night out. Once it sets, it does not move. Rain, gym, beach day, it stays. It is also the favourite of brow stylists, because one pot lasts for months.

Choose a pencil if...

You want speed and precision. A pencil lives in your bag, needs no brush and is perfect for filling small gaps. Our Velvet Brow Pencil gives a soft, blendable finish for a natural everyday brow. The Fine Liner Pencil has an ultra-fine tip for drawing individual hair strokes, ideal if your brows are sparse and you want them to look naturally fuller. The Pro Brow Powder Pencil sits in between: a powdery finish for that trendy ombre effect.

Or combine them

Honestly? Most brow lovers end up using both. Hair strokes with the Fine Liner where brows are sparse, Brow Dip to define the shape, and a clear gel to set everything in place. Curious how to apply each one step by step? Watch the videos on our How-To page.
