Beginner's Guide to Buying Your First Brow Kit

Quick answer: For your first brow kit, choose something easy and forgiving: a stamp kit with reusable stencils, a waterproof powder, and a shade that matches your natural brow. Skip complicated multi-product sets and anything permanent. The easier the kit is to use, the more likely you are to actually reach for it every day.

What a beginner actually needs

• An easy application method — a stamp beats freehand for beginners.
• A stencil or two to set the shape — see choosing a stencil.
• A natural shade — see choosing your shade.
• A waterproof formula so it lasts.

What to skip at first

Skip large multi-product palettes, very dark shades, and permanent options like microblading until you know your ideal shape — see microblading vs stamp. Not sure a stamp is right? See are stamps worth it.
