Suqqu Liquid Eyebrow Pen

In Asia, liquid pens are not just for eyeliner, but eyebrows too. The bestseller is Suqqu’s line of liquid eyebrow pens, which have already made it to the U.K. beauty market, where they are available at Selfridges and caused quite a buying frenzy when British YouTube star Lisa Eldridge used them in a video. Liquid eyebrow pens are better than their pencil cousins because they’re smudge and oil-proof, and tend to be more precise, while giving a more natural look. We’ve seen Asian makeup artists use these as essential shaping tools, using them to fill in the ends and define an arch, which is especially essential between shaping appointments.

Part of the key to their natural look is their color range. The pen is offered in only two colors: green (this is not a typo) and brown. Before you worry that the green is meant for only Grinch-complexioned people, know this: It's actually more of a mossy green-brown, with a khaki colored effect, meant for those with lighter-colored brows. The pen tints both the skin and eyebrow hairs, so that the drawn-in and natural parts are indistinguishable from each other.

Suqqu Liquid Eyebrow Pen, $23, available at Selfridges.
