I've had a few hit and misses with products like this, but I'm happy to report that L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Xpert is a winner. The pencil is a nice angle which makes application simple and easy.
While the colour I sampled was not spot-on with my natural colouring, it blended well and added definition, while also looking surprisingly natural. I also have a few 'glitter streaks' in my brow, and I'm pleased to say this covered up those few pesky greys perfectly. I love that it's retractable too - no damaging the end or searching for the sharpener. The brush is nice and firm and tames those wayward strays. I've used it quite a few times without the pencil too, it's always nice to have 'double duty' products. I've popped this product into my handbag to use the brush as a touch up after my daily swim too.
The product lasted all day, is relatively waterproof, but still easy to remove with your usual suspects (I use micellar water at the end of the day and it had no problem removing it).
This is definitely a product I'll be purchasing after it runs out. I've found a winner!
L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Xpert in 'Warm Brunette' is a rich chocolate brown. I thought that this colour may have been too light for my naturally dark (almost black) eyebrows, but after it had been applied and blended, it looked really natural.
The applicator tube is cylindrical in appearance, with a spoolie shaped styling brush on one end (for shaping and blending) and the eyebrow pencil on the other side. Once the coloured cap is removed, it reveals a triangular shaped tube end, with a triangular shaped mechanical eyebrow pencil. I'm not sure why they made this pencil triangular shaped, as after the first use the triangle ended up with a soft round point, and every use after that was basically a soft round tip with a sharp unused triangle base underneath. An expensive marketing gimmick, if you ask me, as I'm basically now applying a rounded pencil to my brows each time I use it.
Anyway, triangles and rounded tips aside, this wind-up pencil is really easy to use, it blends beautifully and looks extremely natural. I'll definitely be purchasing another one when this one runs out.
Tips: Apply with a light hand, the pencil is really soft
