Eyeliner, foundation and eyeshadow aren’t the only products you want to be smudge-proof. A long-wear, water-resistant brow product is also a must-have, especially when the weather heats up. Brow pens are one of our favorite formats to use for a sweat-proof finish because they’re precise, easy to apply and look natural. They provide a pigmented finish that won’t slip or slide on even the hottest of days. Ahead, we rounded up six of our favorite brow pens.
