To someone who takes fashion and makeup seriously, there is such a thing as a designer brow brush. Most women who treat their eyebrows might have a few brushes in addition to other accessories, but it is possible to have a whole set of brow brushes. It is possible when a professional is aspiring to a wide range of looks or might be attempting to apply pigment or gel to an eyebrow.

There is more than one brush because eyebrows are fine but have a very sharp effect on the look of a face. There are thick and thin eyebrows. Some people naturally have very fine hair while others have eyebrow hair that is thicker and slightly curly. Some brushes create a linear crease in a diagonal direction while another brush might smooth out eyebrow hairs, especially if the pigment is applied. Variety makes sense for professional dressers.

Believe it or not, brow brush are also used for men. Not many guys wake up in the morning and fuss over their eyebrows, but it is a common reality in the entertainment industry. Some men are professional spokespeople for major businesses and organizations and have to look sharp down to the direction of their eyebrow follicles. Exacting solutions exist even for men.

The two most common eyebrow tools are the diagonal brush and the spoolie. The spoolie is effectively a stiff comb for eyebrows. These follicles are short but nearly as thick as head hair. As a result, they are a bit stiff due to their short length and tendency to crease. A vigorous brushing straightens the eyebrows while removing loose follicles.

The diagonal brush helps to shape the direction of brow hairs. It is also a basic tool for applying light powder or temporary pigment. The brush is also softer than the comb and helps to push hairs into their final place without ruining the fine lines created by the spoolie. This is the most common combo, often found on the same tool, but there are quite a few more.

There is also a round, pointed brush. This is less able to move a group of follicles as easily as a flat brush, but it is great at applying powder and gel. A round brush holds more powder, and the pointed shape allows for application into very fine spots as is needed. On top of the round brush, some tools have a brow pencil build into the handle. This is the perfect fix for inconsistency in hair thickness.
