An essential product for every makeup bag is some sort of eyebrow product. Beautiful, defined brows instantly change the look of your face, and over the past few years the resurgence of a strong, natural brow has seen an incredible selection of eyebrow products appear at the local drugstore.
Just like Japanese mascara, the offering of eyebrow products at the Japanese drugstore in huge. There are pencils, powders, multi-colour palettes of powder, brow mascara and liquid brow pens. The range of colours that the brow products are available is also impressive, with some brands offering up to six different shades!
So there’s no doubt, you can find some seriously impressive eyebrow products in Japanese drugstores. But there are so many, that I have decided to make this into a series of stories where I cover eyebrow products by type. Starting off today with the most popular and easiest to use- the eyebrow pencil ( and pencil/ powder combination). I will then follow up over the next few weeks with eyebrow powder, mascara etc.
