"To me, there’s nothing sadder than a brow that’s smooshed down," quipped model and actress of Instagram fame, Emily Ratajkowski, on her date night makeup tutorial for Vogue. And to that, we agree. As we navigate our way through the warm summer months, it’s imperative that we find the right product to keep our face framers in place amidst the sweltering heat. Nobody wants sad-looking brows but it's the horror of horrors when your brows disappear mid-day. So here are the brow products for summer you can always rely on to keep your brow game on-point.

Makeup artists love it and with good reason. The light and dark shades of this densely packed, fine-milled brow powder enable you to add more depth and dimension to your brows as required. You can mix and match two hues to counteract any changes in colour (such as oxidisation or ashiness) brought about by the environment.
