Maybelline Brow Precise Review

Granted, this was the first brow pencil I've ever bought/used, so I don't have much to compare it with. BUT, it is life changing. It didn't take me long to get the hang of using this, and it is amazing how structured eyebrows can open your whole face. My eyebrows are naturally quite dark so dying them isn't really practical - most days this is literally the only makeup I wear. I love it.

The affordable price works for me too, as I go through it faster than any other makeup item.

I'm obsessed.

I have never tried to do my brows myself - I have incredibly faint eyebrows, and usually leave it to the pros (on the odd occasion that I get my makeup done for me). So I was a little hesitant about putting my hand up for this trial!

Turns out it was the best place for me to start 'experimenting' with my brow colour. You can easily start off light, and build the level of colour you want. I'm still a bit scared to go dark, but this pencil is great for just adding a touch of colour.

The brush is awesome for keeping it all looking nice and tidy too!

At first, upon swatching this on the back of my hand, I thought this was going to make my brows far too dark. I have quite naturally dark eyebrows anyway, but I do like to fill them in and neaten them. I found the pencil to be quite waxy and easy to blend in and it glided on quite smoothly. Much to my surprise, it wasn’t too dark and looked really good, quite natural. The spoolie blended the product into my natural eyebrows well which I really liked. However, I found that I had to sharpen this quite frequently, as it wore down easily, which in the long run would annoy me a bit and I don’t think the pencil would last very long with everyday use. I applied this using short, very light strokes until I reached my desired shape and colour. Because this comes out quite darkly, I didn’t need to press very hard and hardly needed to go over my stroke multiple times to get the colour wanted, as I like natural looking brows rather than really bold ones. It did make my brows neater and gave them good shape. I found that this lasted the whole day while I was at work and didn’t really fade too much. I often got compliments on how ‘on fleek’ my brows were looking! While I did like this product and it looked good, I would use it again, however it probably wouldn't be my go to- I think I would still reach for my current brow product over this one.

First brow pencil i have bought. I love the look it gives me and that is because it is a soft pencil i suppose. The only issue is that it runs out pretty quick so i have to keep sharpening it.

The Maybelline brow precise pencil matched my hair colour and skin tone perfectly. When following the directions which said to use light strokes when applying I noticed that it was quite difficult to apply this product lightly without making my brows appear too heavy. This would take some practice to perfect.

I quite liked this pencil, it did just what I expected from an eyebrow pencil. The colour was pretty good, and stayed in place relatively well, but that's the thing. It wasn't the best pencil I've ever used but it wasn't the worst either. I thought it went blunt quite quickly but the spooly on the end was really good!

I quite liked this pencil, it was a really good colour match for my eyebrows. It was really handy having a brush on the end to help tidy my brows. It is antad waxy in texture and is quite a soft pencil so after using it once I had to sharpen it so I'm not sure if it would last very long.

I am in love with my eyebrows and always have to do them before I go out so I was excited to use this product!

The brow pencil looks like your typical pencil eyeliner/brow pencil.

I first used the brow pencil to shape and fill in my brows. I found it to be very thick and applied very easily. It was very dark against my eye brows which I didn't necessarily like. I found it only lasted a few hours and then had to be reapplied.

The brush on the other hand, I have never used one so it was a pleasant surprise the way it shaped and sculpted my eyebrows into the shape I wanted! Am very impressed with the brush side.

I would stick to my normal eyebrow pencil but I now use the brush all the time. If you enjoy doing your eyebrows then definetly go for it and see if you like it but not a necessity.

I am always open-minded when it comes to new brow products and this wasn’t any different. I went in to this with no expectations and no opinion. The Brow Precise caught my eye most because I am usually a pencil user when it comes to drawing my brows on.

I like the spoolie on the other end of the pencil because it means I can keep any stray hairs in check and make sure they are sitting in the correct place. I did find the spoolie gets quite abrasive on my sensitive skin, leaving it red and raw. I chose deep brown, which is a dark brown to make my brows stand out.

The formula of the pencil is much like a gel pencil but far more crumbly. The thing I found with the pencil is it crumbles at the drop of a hat. I pressed lightly to create an outline and the pencil simply crumbled on my skin. I had to re-sharpen it and start again. Again it broke. I used it the lightest way possible and still it drew a small line before falling apart again.

It works to make my brows look feathery and natural-ish but at the end of the day I want statement brows and this doesn’t deliver that. Verdict: I like to make my lines deliberate and precise. This pencil creates feathery strokes. It shouldn’t be called Brow Precise with a performance like that. I like the spoolie but that’s as far as it goes.
