In light of the Coronavirus situation in Singapore, Ministry of Health has advised that you don’t need to wear a mask unless you’re ill, some of us with low immunity continue to don surgical masks as preventive measures.
With more than half your face covered, you can easily skip foundation, and focus on the features that can be seen. While all of us might not have time to do elaborate eye makeup in the morning, everyone will have a few moments to get their brows on fleek.
Eyebrows are important in framing your face. While it’s not rocket science, brows have always been one of the trickier products to apply but don’t fret—we’ve rounded up a list of the easiest brow products to use so you can have brows that slay.
Sculpt, build and beef up brows with a mix of waxes and powders available in this palette. Using a brow wax and powder together helps create depth and dimension so brows look fluffy and natural.

How can we exclude this cult fave when it comes to brow products? One thing to note though, you can’t use your regular sharperner on this, and need to head to any of their counters or stores if it needs sharpening.

The BrowGal Convertible Brow lets you choose if you want to apply it wet or dry. Apply it as a powder for natural-looking brows, or wet your angled brow brush and dip it into the pan for defined strokes.
