This is my first eyebrow pencil that I ever bought. I know you must be thinking "she's a makeup obsessed woman and doesn't own a single eye brow pencil", it's an inevitable fact though. The reason is because my eyebrows are already really thick and they never looked sparse or un-done even if I don't groom them or use brow makeup. Of course, I do tame them regularly by tweezing them.
As you all know, the hair growth reduces with age, leading thinning of hair and I thought now is the time I am in need of it. So, I bought the Essence eyebrow pencil in brunette.
SWATCH:
My reason of choosing the brunette shade is that I don't want to look like a weirdo with black dramatic eye brows. Plus, brown toned pencils are perfect for a more natural look. It also has an eyebrow brush attached to it's lid/cover. The bristles of the brush are hard and stiff which allow for taming heavy, thick and textured eyebrows perfectly.
The pigmentation of Essence eyebrow pencil is moderate. I won't claim it to do wonders because the texture of the pencil is slightly dry (it is might be due to the winter weather) . Anyways by applying a little pressure you can have it easily glide over the eyebrows.
DEMO / PICTORIAL:
STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL:
- I firstly tamed/groomed my eyebrows with the brush that's attached to the pencil.
- Then, I drew a line under my eyebrow over the brow bone area completely.
- Then on the upper side, I left a small half inched area and drew the line following my eyebrow shape.
- Then, I slightly sketched small strokes by filling in by brows (don't rub or drag the pencil to fill but just give quick light strokes) to make it look natural and full.
- Then I again tamed the brows with same brush in order to equalize and balance the color evenly.
PROS:
- Brunette is a perfect shade for dark haired brows
- Gives a naturally fuller eyebrows look
- Affordable
- Easily Available
- Staying power is good
CONS:
- Slightly dry in pigmentation
MY THOUGHTS:
I am pretty satisfied with this product.
