Review (5/5): Goodbye expensive brow pencils, I FOUND THE BEST( and they've cheap)
I've tried A MILLION eye brow pencils in my 63 years they'either too soft to hold a point or so hard ,they had to be " dug" into your face in order for you to be able to make the little lines that actually look like "hairs". It seems that nowadays the young girls are drawing their brows in with a black ,Sharpie ( ! ) so....unattractive and fake looking! I use the hazel color AND dark brown color because when I married my ( then, recently graduated from a 4 year art college) Husband , he helpfully pointed out that ALL hair is actually a combination of hair colors so drawing your brows on with just one color is NOT the most natural look you can achieve . After filling in my ( sparse ) brows with feathery short strokes (to simulate hairs ) ,I dust ( lightly ) with face powder ( the powder clings to whatever hairs you have,creating the illusion of more brows) and then finish by brushing "Gimme Brows" or " Anastasia' s" brow gel ( mixed with a little clear mascara ) to lighten up ( color- wise ) the. dark brown gel for a more natural look. I am Hispanic with dark brown hair but I don't believe that the " drawn on with a magic marker" look ( that many of my fellow Hispanic women seem to favor ) is very attractive or natural looking, unless you're trying to look like the legendary comedian Groucho Marx.I went to a plastic surgeon this week to discuss somel liposuction and he said " you have great brows" I laughed and informed him that they were 30 percent drawn on, wow pretty good if I fooled a plastic surgeon ! THE BOTTOM LINE: THESE PENCILS ARE FIRM ENOUGH TO SHARPEN TO A POINT THAT ACTUALLY " HOLDS " THE POINT BUT SOFT ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO USE WITHOUT HAVING TO " FIGHT" WITH THE PENCIL IN ORDER TO DRAW WITH IT- DID I MENTION THE ARE INEXPENSIVE? !
