Ive been using this on and off for a few years now and always go back to it! I've tried the pomades, gels etc. but nothing is as easy as this pencil. 1. Its super affordable. Usually between $10-15 and as its a sharpen-able pencil, it lasts months. 2. Its really easy to apply, if it has just been sharpened it can be a bit harsh looking, but I lightly blend it out with my pinky after applying. 3. It has a spoolie! and a good one at that. 4. It lasts all day! If youre looking for something simple that will last all day, give this a go.

Slowly upping my brow game and this use to be my go to but not anymore.
It was a cheap and readily available brow pencil which is why I gravitated towards it but there are so many products that can trump this these days and for a similar price. It’s a good cheapie if your after a quick fix but is really only good for filling in the background, if you want to draw defined brows I suggest something else.
For me the colour personally is a little more golden brown than I would prefer. It isn’t sharp as - more a blunt tip even after sharpening its not sharp and I’ve tried a few sharpeners.. hence I recommend use for shading background colour for more a powdered look vs using for brow strokes.
So it does fill in gaps but colour wise and precision wise I prefer alternative products.
Pros: Lasts well Creamy formula Added spoolie
Cons: Colour slightly to warm When you sharpen it for precise lines you loose alot of product
It was a good pencil. It did what it said and I used the whole lot but I've since found products that have a better colour match for my hair tone.
I really liked this brow pencil. I picked it up in the darkest brown colour they had. It was easy to use and I love that it has a spoolie at the end as it makes for less packing when you go traveling. The product is easy to use and stays in place all day. The pencil lasted a decent amount of time before running out. I’d definitely repurchase and tell others to buy as it’s a good drug store product that is easy to use
Tips: Keep the end sharpened
I loved this product when I first started using it - the colour matched me perfectly, I was able to create smooth, precise lines and of course the brush feature was super handy and a big factor as to why I bought it in the first place. It stayed on fairly well throughout the day too. However I found that it was never quite the same after the first use. It didn't sharpen well at all, crumbling all the time and breaking off and I was never able to get it as sharp as new. I also found it to be quite soft so it needed to be resharpened constantly. Way too much admin! I have since moved onto the e.l.f pencil which I much prefer.
I find this pencil very hard to get thin strokes from and that it makes my brows look very unnatural which i do not like. The colour was good and matched my brows reasonably well. I just found this hard to use with with some practise it may be easier i just never had the time to keep trying it.
I came across this Maybelline Brow Precise brow pencil when we went to Rotorua and I left my brow pencil at home. I had to buy one because I can't put makeup on without brows. I liked it when I tried it because it's very easy to apply and I love how it looks on my brows too. The really good thing that I like about it is the brush at the other end which helps to blend the brow product to my brows. The least that I liked is that it doesn't seem to last on my brows. I have a combination type of skin so maybe this wouldn't last long if you have an oily T area.
Tips: Add a brow primer to make it last a but longer
Not a bad brow pencil but, as my brows are quite thin, it's a little to broad of a pencil for me. I, personally much prefer the microbrow pencil styles. The colour range for this product, however, is quite decent and it is easy to use. Would recommend for those with thicker brows, otherwise it can make your brows look a little too fake. The spoolie on the end is great and convenient.
I have only used this product once since I opened it. Here's why.
The formula was very waxy and pigmented, making my brows look heavy even with a little bit of pressure put on when applying. Although it did apply smoothly with the waxy formula, it was very crumbly which I did not like the look of. The formula makes the pencil run out pretty quickly so re-sharpening after each use is necessary.
I like how there is a spoolie on one side as it is handy, but the texture was too abrasive on my dry skin and it kept flaking off. Also, using the spoolie after the product is applied is a no go as the product smudges and the colour gets taken off.
Overall, this product does not go well with dry skin.
Tips: Apply lightly.
I don't mind this product but it is finicky you have to have it sharpened but then when it's sharp it's very pigmented I do prefer the twist up pencils just more convenient and quicker
Tips: This one tou really have to take your time and go light or it will be a very bold brow but if thats what you like thats great too
