Eyebrow products
The full brow category — pencil, pomade, powder, gel and tint.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca. Part of the Brows guide.
When to use it
Choose by how much shape has to be created and how long it must hold.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Most brows here are already strong: dense, dark, naturally defined. The standard advice asks you to remove that, and thinned brows do not reliably grow back.
The rule that runs through every product on this site: check undertone, not just depth. Most Moroccan skin is olive or golden, and a neutral or pink-based product greys within the hour however precisely the depth matches. And for any long event, set in thin successive passes rather than one heavy layer — accumulated product slides in coastal humidity, while product laid down thinly stays.
What it will not do
Any product replacing shaping. Product fills and defines; the shape is set by removal.
The most common mistake
Over-plucking to follow a template drawn for a different brow.
