Review (5/5): High, high Medium in performance!
I’ve been needing to color in my grays for a few years. I’ve always had thick, dark eyebrows but thyroid disease and age has challenged that somewhat. My brows are thinning out and have decided to start turning full white now. I don’t even color my hair, but I simply cannot do without my signature brows!! I dye them myself every few months, but I usually need a daily touch-up until then.
I found a great brow pencil, available in most drugstores, that works really, really well. But it’s overpriced and doesn’t last long at all. I’m constantly having to replace it. I found it early on, and just stayed with it, because it worked. But apparently there are better options out there!
I was very open to trying this when I had the chance. It’s not perfect. I do kinda notice more of a very slight smearing over my eyebrows, throughout the day. But only slightly! I do work outdoors and I sweat a lot, so there’s that. I can’t really expect much more. It holds its own there, I think.
The color I chose is VERY close to perfect for me, but just off by a hair. The narrow shape of the applicator is ideal in some ways, but also somewhat limiting (in a hurry). I love it because I can target certain areas of sparseness, but it may also cause an over-abundance of application in areas that don’t need it, while trying to just quickly cast a tint. Greys are impossible beasts, anyway!!
The texture of this is quite firm, so it hasn’t even threatened to break off and get wasted that way. And it is a little dry, but not overly so. It’s at that cusp though, to be sure.
I find this pencil to be easy to use, with satisfying enough results. I will probably order this again. I do love the way it’s shaped and it feels great in hand, like a precision beauty tool. It does make quick work of brow coloring!
