Soft, patchy pigment, plastic body is fragile
This is the worst eyebrow pencil I’ve tried at this price, and it’s even worse than the e.l.f. version that’s similar. I know that’s dramatic but the reason why I wanted to write this review is because I’m just so frustrated with the quality compared to the price. It’s just not okay!<br /><br />I’ve been using the nyx precision brow pencil, but this was a few dollars cheaper at ulta at the time and so I got it because the nyx one is like 10 bucks. My brows are the makeup I wear most consistently, so I’m always trying different brow pencils to try to cut down on the cost. But I go back to nyx every time. Maybe the morphe one is okay but it’s pretty hard and waxy so not really. Now I know the importance of the extra two dollars for the nyx.<br /><br />This pencil is so soft, it wears down so quickly and also because of how soft it is, it’s not precise at all. And it’s not pigmented either, so I end up using a larger amount of product because of that. To do both my brows, and I fill them in pretty lightly, I use about 1/8” of product each time. The nyx one I use less than 1/16” and it’s more pigmented.<br /><br />I would compare this to the elf one in terms of pigmentation and texture. Except the elf one is like $3. So at this price point I expected it to be way better than something that’s less than half its price.<br /><br />And after using it a few times, the spoolie end came off when I was trying to take the cap off to use it. The main body of the pencil cracked on that end. So now I have to use a spoolie from another brow pencil, good thing I have one. And this has just been on my desk, not banging around in a makeup bag or anything like that. So definitely don’t get this if you need to take it places it can’t handle it.<br /><br />This is one of the few times I would return a makeup product, it’s just so egregiously bad.
