Eyebrows play an important role on our face. In addition to keeping sweat and dirt from getting into the eyes, they give contour to our face. And they do this particularly well when their shape fits our face.
Whether curved, curved, straight, narrow, wide, defined or bushy - to conjure up the perfect brow you need to pluck, trim, color or even paint. Of course with the right beauty helpers. Gels, powders or eyebrow pencils are available to define shape, volume and color.
Stiftung Warentest takes a close look at eyebrow pencils
Eyebrow pencils have also workedStiftung Warentestconcerned. More precisely, the partner magazine K-Tipp from Switzerland (09/2022). A total of twelve eyebrow pencils in shades of brown from different brands were put to the test. Seven of them are also available to buy in Germany.
The result: All seven eyebrow pencils received an overall grade of “good” (4.8 to 5.2) for their make-up properties. The tests tested included how well the products can be applied, whether they give off enough color, how soft the brushes are and how long they last.

This is the test winner
In the test, the eyebrow pencils fought an exciting head-to-head race. In the end, an eyebrow pencil was able to take first place - even if in principle it is only a tiny bit better than the others. The test winner is the oneNYX Eye Brow Powder Pencil*.
According to Stiftung Warentest, it is the easiest and most evenly applied and also has a long shelf life. The eyebrow pencil is available in eight shades - from blonde to soft brown to espresso. And now comes the best: You can get the test winner in many drugstores for under 8 euros.
These eyebrow pencils are also good
As I said, the other eyebrow pencils in the test also achieved good results. While one product is easier to apply, another product lasts a little longer or is simply more comfortable to hold. But the differences are not serious. That's why you can also rely on an eyebrow pencil that ended up in the top 7 (here is the table).
What may be interesting is that a very cheap eyebrow pencil is also included in the best list. In 5th place it has itEyebrow Designer von Essencedone. And now it comes: This product actually only costs 1.79 euros (zb at Douglas*).
These are the benefits of an eyebrow pencil
Your eyebrows aren't really thick? Then an eyebrow pencil can help you. With an eyebrow pencil you can not only trace the contours of your brows, but also conceal gaps. To do this, simply draw in any missing hairs. Since the products have a fine tip, this is usually very precise. Many pencils now also have an integrated brush that you can then use to comb your brows into shape.
What is the difference between an eyebrow pencil and an eyebrow gel? A pen is more precise. Missing hairs can be traced more precisely with it. Caution: Make sure that the lines do not appear too hard. If you don't need to fill in any gaps, you can also use an eyebrow gel. Gels are applied with a brush. They shape and fix the hair and, when colored, provide more density. In contrast to eyebrow pencils, gels also contain nourishing ingredients such as vitamins or certain oils.
