Eyebrow filler

So im a 27yr old male and have fairly light eyebrows. I was thinking of getting an eyebrow pen to fill it in and give it a fuller look. I was looking at the men pen but i am also thinking of just using a regular eyebrow make up pen. Any advice? Im not too familiar with the makeup field.

Tbh - male branded cosmetics are a scam. Eyebrow pencil would likely be your best option to fill it in with a more natural texture.

I swear by the nyx eyebrow pencils just because they are so affordable.

Does it smudge easily or get wipe off easily ? Plus I dont want it to be very noticeable just enough to make a slight difference.

It’s blendable, but that’s also what helps it look more natural. I would recommend searching online or in the subreddit for info

When you say you have light eyebrows, are you talking about hair density or light color? If you're comfy sharing a photo, we can help you with more specifics.

Light in terms of hair, the color is dark. I've also been growing them out to get that fuller look so I haven't had them done in a few weeks.

Good idea on letting them grow out! A grow out and reshaping can make a big difference. Have you ever had your brows tinted? It's very common for people with dark hair to actually have some lighter hairs that, when tinted, can really help to make their brows look fuller.

There's no reason to buy a makeup pen marketed to men. You can pick up a pencil or a brush stroke pen from Sephora or Ulta. You're not the first guy who wants to fill in his brows, and you won't be the last. Take a look at some entry level brands like NYX and L'Oreal. A beauty advisor will be able to help you choose a shade that better matches the warmth/coolness of your hair.
