I found pictures of myself from early 2024 on my phone last week while I was on my way home from work and scrolling through it. Wow, I looked young. It was pretty clear what had changed when I compared those old pictures to newer ones my eyebrows.
In the last year I’ve become very picky about my arches I’ve noticed that the best brow pencil can completely lift and shape my whole face (that’s a fancy word for face). I’ve tried a lot of tools along the way but the Modern Brow Definer and Modern Brow Gel from Vieve are the two newest ones that you should check out. When used together they are meant to give you softly defined lifted brows that still look natural.

Review of the Vieve Modern Brow Definer
The Modern Brow Definer is the first brow pencil I’ve ever used that I really like It has a 1mm tip (yes I measured it) and is meant to look like real eyebrow hairs Even though an ultra-fine nib might sound scary I was surprised by how easy and natural it is to use.
Use a spoolie to brush your eyebrows from the inside out to get started. Then, draw a line from the start of your brow to the edge of your nose and from the end of your brow to the outer corner of your eye. Use the pencil to make small guide marks and then fill in any empty spots with light feathery strokes that follow the natural direction of your brow hairs.
Jamie Genevieve, the founder of Vieve, says that the ultra-fine tip works best when used in a certain way: “I like to use the very tip of the pencil to sketch tiny strokes through the front of the brow, then switch to soft shading under the arch to lift and define.”
The formula is also very important. It has “plate-shaped powders in it, like those in setting powders that help the pigment glide on smoothly and build up slowly This means that you are much less likely to end up with harsh blocky 2016 brows (burrr). Waxes and light oils keep the pencil flexible so it never feels stiff when you draw with it.

The Modern Brow Gel deserves just as much credit as the Modern Brow Definer even though it might seem like the star of the show. Let’s be honest there are bad brow gels out there You know the ones: thick sticky and hard. This formula is the exact opposite. It is light and flexible so it easily brushes through my brows and moves with my face.

Jamie says to use short strokes: “I use short, light motions instead of one big sweep It helps me put each hair exactly where I want it.” I lightly press my fingertip over the front of the brow to
