I've shaded in my eyebrows since I started using make-up. My eyebrows are naturally very thin (I only need to pluck a few rogue strands, and one brow has an inch scar that doesn't grow any hair) so they need some help beefing up. A more defined brow also helps to frame your eyes, helping them to really stand out.
There's a lot of different products out there for eyebrows, and I've tried them all. I used shadow for a long time, and I liked it well enough, but now I prefer pencil. I find it easier to shape my brows and can look more natural.
I'm so happy I bought this pencil on a whim. It's perfect and I haven't had a need/want to look at other products.
Pros:
- The ultra thin pencil, helps make shading look natural and is easier to control the amount of product you use
- The texture is the perfect amount of firm and creamy. Which means it's easy to apply (you don't have to press hard) and easy to blend
- No sharpening needed, the pencil twists up and because it's so narrow, you don't need a sharp point and because of it's texture it's a great blending tip
- Lasts all day and is waterproof
- Six colors are available
- Super affordable and easy to find
Cons:
- None. I thought about this for a while, but really couldn't think of anything.The comb on the side is mostly useless I guess.
I use the Light Brown color and it's been a staple in my makeup bag for a long time and I don't see myself changing products...ever. Eyebrows are one thing I think many women look over, but they really can make a big difference.
I would definitely recommend this product to everyone, at least to try.
Do you define your brows? What products do you use?

I just started shading in my brows this year and I can't believe what a difference it makes! I started off using shadow and now I use brow zings (Benefit) and I am in love with that set. This pencil sounds great though- I love when they roll up (hate sharpening!)
Twice I went to ULTA to get this (b/c Define A Lash is my favorite mascara) but they didn't have my color. I picked up a Revlon one, I think, but I'm still on the lookout for this one.
Thanks for this review! I've been looking for a good brow pencil.

Yasi @ Hello, Gorgeous!
I need a good brow pencil...I never shade my brows but when I get my makeup professionally done {wedding, engagements pics, etc} I absolutely LOVED how they looked. Thanks for sharing chica! You have the BEST stuff! :)
You should do a tutorial on eyebrow shading! I tried it a few times, but kept feeling like it didn't look right. Maybe it's because I couldn't find the right color. Who knows.
I am a HUGE advocate for filling in brows! I have relatively thick brows but they're so uneven at times. This automatically gives your face so much more definition! I'll have to give this product a whirl. I have been using the Anastasia Perfect Brow Pencil for well over 6 months (it lasts forever) and I love it!
This is the brow shader I use! Like you, I've tried a lot of them. So far, I really like it!

Thank you for the review! I've been using MAC's Espresso shadow applied with the 208 brush, and it works fine/lasts forever, but I'm always open to new ideas. I've been meaning to find an affordable pencil for myself as well as my kit. Can't wait to try this!
I like Anastasia as well. Just started using it but love it!
