The conversation around eyebrows is divided: while some people love theirs to look full and bushy à la Cara Delevingne, others opt to keep them sharp and structured without a hair out of place, like Kylie Jenner. It's the never-ending "boy-brow" versus "Insta-brow" debate. If you (like some of us) waxed off most of your eyebrows in the eighth grade back before it was cool to have thick brows, we're well aware of which camp you're sitting in. Either way, whichever final result you prefer, there's no denying that you need the right tools on hand to make it happen.

In addition to maintenance items like brow serums, tweezers, and waxing strips, you're going to need the best of the best, and we've got you covered. Whether you're looking for fine-tipped eyebrow pens that allow you to draw thin, hairlike strokes or powders that give you that naturally thick look, drugstores and prestige beauty retailers alike are filled with plenty of different makeup options. We've asked POPSUGAR editors to share their go-to eyebrow makeup products, including brow gels that keep hair in place without flaking or feeling crunchy, pencils that fill in sparse areas, and pomades with high-impact pigment that won't fade for hours.

Check out the best eyebrow products ahead.
