Perfect brows continue to be a hot topic this summer and into the fall. This is a trend we at Xlash are obsessed with and definitely have mastered. Read on for our ultimate guide to perfect brows.
Maybe you usually shape your brows by plucking, waxing, or threading – but how much time do you spend styling them? To achieve the ultimate, full, and perfect brows, styling is just as important. For beginners, it can be challenging to know where to start and what to use. Read on to learn everything about creating perfect brows with the help of brow pencils, powders, gels, and other brow products. Remember, it's okay if your brows aren't identical!
Use brow serum to lay the foundation for perfect brows
The better the foundation, the easier it will be to style your brows. To enhance thickness and definition, you can use a brow serum. These are perfect if you have over-plucked brows but dream of brows like Cara Delevingne.
We love Xbrow Eyebrow Serum: a brow serum that increases brow hair length, volume, and strength. It works by accelerating growth with its high-tech formula. It's formulated with only safe ingredients. The active ingredient, biotin peptide, helps stimulate natural brow hair growth. It also contains hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5, vitamin B, and niacin, which strengthen, nourish, and heal.
How to use Xbrow Eyebrow Serum
- Start by removing all makeup and cleansing your face.
- Apply Xbrow with a thin line in a brush stroke at the root of your eyebrow hairs.
- Use Xbrow every night for at least six weeks to achieve optimal results.
For sparse or undefined brows: use a brow pencil
With a brow pencil, the possibilities are endless, almost! You can change the shape, define the arch, and fill in noticeable gaps. If you use a pencil with a very fine tip, you can draw small, thin lines that look almost like real hair.
Are your brows sparse in certain areas? Then a brow pencil is the perfect tool to create fuller, more even brows.
How to create perfect brows with a brow pencil
Choose a brow pencil with a micro-fine tip and a creamy consistency that's easy to work with. We love Xbrow Eyebrow Pencil, which offers this and comes in three shades: Beige Brown (for light brows), Dark Brown (warm undertone for brown/dark brown brows), and Greyish Grey (cool undertone for brown/dark brown brows). Choose the color that matches the roots of your natural hair color. In just a moment, the pencil helps you achieve a natural yet defined result.
- First, brush through your brows with the built-in brush. Adjust the pencil and fill in the brows with a light hand. Draw small, thin lines where you have larger gaps. For fuller brows, draw along the outer edge of the brows. Finish by brushing through the brows with the brush to blend the pencil pigments and set the hairs in place.
To tame bushy brows or add color: use brow gel
If you're lucky enough to have naturally bushy brows, not much work is needed to create perfect brows. What you need is something to keep the hairs in place, and that's where brow gel comes in! They come in both transparent and various shades, perfect for those who want to temporarily add color to their brows. Brow gel can help the brows feel more "in place" and look fuller.

How to create perfect brows with brow gel
Brow gel is perfect for those who like defined brows but also appreciate a natural look. You can use brow gel as an all-in-one product or as a finishing styling step after using a pencil.
- Here's how to quickly get perfect, natural brows: start by brushing through with a clean mascara brush to set the hairs in place. Choose a tinted brow gel for more definition, take it out of the bottle, and brush through the brows with the applicator. Start working from the middle of the brow, out to the arch, and finish by applying to the front part of the brow. This will make the color look more natural while effectively framing the brows.
For almost perfect brows that need extra fullness: use brow powder
Brow powders are great for those who like the look of soft brows with plenty of volume and fullness. This is a perfect option if you're already satisfied with your brow thickness and shape but want to define them a bit more. Unlike a brow pencil, you don't need to be as precise when applying powder. You don't need to think about creating natural small hairs. Therefore, it's a great option for beginners who want to quickly style perfect brows.
How to create perfect brows with brow powder
- Start by brushing through the brows with a clean mascara brush to set the hairs in place. Apply the powder with a brush, either on its own or as a finishing styling step after using a pencil. The powder also helps set the pencil, ensuring the color lasts all day. Apply the powder over the entire brow and repeat if you want to intensify or build up the color.

For those who want professional results and an all-in-one product: use brow pomade
For those who are already good at styling their brows and want a sharp and defined result, there might be only one product: brow pomade. This is a convenient all-in-one product that requires quite a bit of practice. While it provides color, it also defines the shape and keeps the hairs in place all day.
How to create perfect brows with brow pomade
- Use an angled brush and apply a small amount of product to the brows. Start filling in the middle of the brow and then create a defined arch. Finish by filling in the front part.
