LOVE this brow pencil!
Original Review: I had been using the NYX brow palette for a few years, but was looking to get a more defined brow, especially since as I get older my brows get more patchy. I bought the medium brown and at first didn't like the effect they gave ...they seemed too dark and "drawn on." Then I watched a video on Facebook about how to properly apply brow pencil and the difference is enormous. Now I love the way my brows look.
How I apply:
1) Use the spoolie to brush all my brow hairs up.
2) Draw a light line along the lower edge of my eyebrow with the pencil.
3) Still using the sharp edge of the pencil, sketch in individual lines in the direction of the hair (starting at the bottom and sweeping up). Do this lightly at first and go back and fill in any areas that require it.
4) Sketch another light line along the top edge of my eyebrow.
5) Use the spoolie to brush the brow hairs upward again and blend the pencil lines.
6) Touch-up any areas that require additional pencil.
I still suspect the medium brown might be a little dark for me, I will be trying the soft brown on my next order.
Update Feb 2019: After several months of use my original pencil finally ran out, so I needed to purchase a new one. I got the soft brown this time (previously had the medium brown). It is a bit lighter and has a reddish cast, which perfectly matches my auburn hair! So I will be continuing with the soft brown from here on out. I was pleased with how long my original pencil lasted, I got about 4 months of daily use before needing to buy again! I've also added a before and after pictures.
