Best Japanese Eyebrow Mascaras

Must-Buy Eyebrow Gel Mascaras in Japan

Eyebrows play a very important part in makeup as they define the first impression and can completely change the look of the face. Eyebrow makeup products are available with various types including pencil, powder and tint, which you can choose depending how you like the finish of your eyebrows.

If you want to create a trendy natural look, keeping the original shape of your eyebrows but with a bit more definition, eyebrow gel (commonly called eyebrow mascara in Japan) is probably the best choice. The gel formula contains polymer to shape eyebrows and hold them in place for long. Eyebrow gel makes brows look fuller yet not too dramatic. It’s also a great product to change the colour of your eyebrows to match with the hair colour or outfit without dying them.

As eyebrow mascara has been a trending beauty product here in Japan, numbers of products are now available on the market. So in this article, I would like to introduce the top-selling Japanese eyebrow mascaras available at Japanese drugstores.
