1 Charlotte Tilbury Brow Lift, £22.50
Is there anything Charlotte Tilbury can’t do? The makeup artist to pretty much every A-lister going has pulled it out of the bag once more with her Three Way Shape, Lift and Shade Tool. With a grooming brush to tidy and eliminate excess colour at one end, a highlighter and a handy angled pencil at the other end, it’s about as multi-tasking as a product can get. Tilbury was inspired by the supermodel brows of the nineties and wanted to share the power of their eyebrows with the world.

2 Shavata Brow Strengthener, £15
Overplucking, we’ve all been there. Who knew big brows would be all the rage fifteen years later anyway? Turning sparse, gappy brows into voluptuous arches is something of a challenge but it can be done. Shavata Brow Strengthener is one of those products most makeup artists have in their kit and hand out to models in need of a brow boost. Made with organic castor oil to stimulate hair growth, this product comes in a clear tube with a roller ball applicator making it easy to apply on the go. Massage it into your brows morning and night for a few weeks to see an impressive increase in volume.

Use it to fill in thinner brows, or inject a guts into lacklustre arches. Application is all the better for its short, almost stumpy pencil body.
Perfect for: the thinning brow
