8 Best Products for Thinning Eyebrows, According to Experts (2025)

Thinning eyebrows can happen at any time for multiple reasons. One of the biggest culprits causing sparseness and bald spots is mechanical damage, which most often comes from over-tweezing. Age can also have an impact. And then there are the hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause, which affect all parts of our body including eyebrow growth. Fortunately, so many eyebrow products are available that can help promote fuller-looking hair.

Eyebrow serums might be the most popular because they work by strengthening and hydrating the hair to help prevent breakage and promote an optimal environment for growth, Joshua Zeichner, MD, a board-certified dermatologist, told Oprah Daily. These formulas work over time, while makeup products, from pencils to waxes and gels, offer immediate results. "I like to layer different products to achieve the most believable effect of full eyebrows," says makeup artist Suzy Gerstein. Ahead, discover the best products that will transform thinning brows.

Before you use it, make sure to shake the pen to ensure the pigment comes out evenly.

This pen makes filling in brows easier than ever thanks to its double-brush head with two tips. Each tip is so thin and fine that it recreates the look of real hair.

You can find it for a budget-friendly price at your local drugstore. It comes in eight shades.

The beauty of this eyebrow wax is that it contains tiny fibers that attach to your brow hairs to bulk them up and make them look fuller. It looks like and applies like a mascara.

Gerstein says the best way to make brows look fuller is by using multiple products when filling them in. "I generally start with a pencil, then add a tinted gel, and finish by creating hairlike strokes with a pen." She says this formula has been a mainstay in her kit forever. It's a dual-sided pencil with a super thin and precise pencil on one side and a spoolie on the other, so you can brush and shape the hair. It also comes in a wide range of shades.

This eyebrow pencil is larger than traditional pens and pencils, but it makes it easier to use and fill in thinning and sparse areas.

It won a 2024 Oprah Daily Beauty Award because it works like a “tubing” mascara, meaning the formula wraps around each hair and coats it in a no-smudge, tinted tube. “My arches looked so much fuller and more defined,” says Oprah Daily beauty director Kate Sandoval Box. Nourishing oils, like hemp seed, castor, and sunflower seed, condition hair and prevent brows from looking stiff or unnatural.
