Hmm im not a huge fan of the brow pencil but the highlighter works well. I feel as though it go's on super thick and cakes on, no matter what i do, I use a brush to blend it in and it clearly looks very unnatural. The highlighter side does the same but works well once blended with your finger or brush so I do use that side. I paid $3 on iherb so was cheap enough to buy it just to try it out. Its a large pencil as well so there is a lot of product.

e.l.f Eyebrow Lifter & Filler Review
e.l.fEyebrow Lifter & Filler Review
Create polished and defined brows for a flawless fuller look! The 'lift' pencil's sheer light-reflecting pigments act as an arch support under the brows to enhance and outline the shape for a more youthful and awakened look. While the 'fill' pencil shades in the eyebrow to blend in the natural shape, fill in any sparse areas and define the lines.

I found this to be pretty average. It wasn't as good as I was expecting, although I may have not used it properly (although I don't know any other way to use it). The fill pencil works fine although wasn't very long lasting and the lift pencil I didn't feel very confident with using it. it didn't blend well and was very vibrant!
have been using the E.L.F eyebrow filler & Lifter for about a month now. At first I thought it was ok, Loved the highliter wored well with my brows, could use to highlight other places too. As for the Brow filler... it worked well for me for the first week but as you keep sharpening the tip gets thicker so you brows get thicker. Would work perfectly if pencil was thinner. Has harsh lines that I found hard to blend too.. disappointed as I love e.l.f cosmetics!
I purchased this as I quite like the Elf Eyebrow Kit and thought this would be a quicker option due to the pencil style of the product. Unfortunately it just didn't work out for me.
First off I found the none of the shades were really suitable for my dark/medium brown hair. The medium shade looked too on the red side while the dark brown was just the wrong shade of brown (and not actually that dark oddly enough). The product is very soft and waxy feeling on the eyebrow and I found this looked very unnatural in my brows (although looked a lot better when combed out with a spoole, but, still not as natural as I would have liked). The softness and fat design of the pencil means that it quickly loses it's tip and you are unable to mimic brow hairs as you fill in the brows as is possible with smaller brow pencils (I think this and the formula of the product is what gives it an unnatural look), not to mention wasting a ton of product sharpening it every use or more.
I am very pale skinned so was unable to use the other end of the product as it is intended as a brow bone highlight as it is darker than my skin so would not give a lifting effect anyhow. I did however try it as a waterline brightener and this works, but, it is not very long lasting in the waterline.
This is not something I am going to repurchase or that I would recommend as I think there are better options out there. It may be super affordable, but, so is the elf eyebrow kit (which I think is far better than this) and I still don't think it is worth it. Eyebrows that look obviously drawn on are worse than unfilled brows and this is the look that this product gives me unfortunately.
Tips: I recommend the Elf Eyebrow Kit over this.
i ordered this product last week and my first time using it wasn't what i expected. it was a lot thicker than expected but i know i applied it heavier than suppose to. i think the pencil needs to be thinner but once I've learnt how to use it my opinion may chance
I thought I'd give this a go as I purchased cheap off iherb. I'm not overly impressed with the filler, I possibly could've done with a shade lighter though. The filler is way too pigmented, thick and gluggy, and it cakes easily. I've tried to perfect it and the technique that seems to work best is applying a tiny bit to the bottom brow line, and then blending it with an angled brush. Although due to its' thick creamy texture, it doesn't glide on and blend out as evenly as much as I'd like and the pencil to too thick to create a defined sharp look. By the end of the day it has caked in chunks that look very unnatural. The highlighter is good, Ivory is definitely to pink and pale for my olive skin tone, and it also goes on in a thick/creamy consistency so you have to blend it with a finger. It's plastic lid with the sharpener end seems to have expanded and now falls off every time I put it back on, and I keep finding lines and messes in my make up case because of it. I'll keep it as an emergency back up product, but I would not bother to purchase it again.
I love E.L.F normally but this product was a huge fail for me, I was really gutted.
As we all know, eyebrows have become really huge in a makeup application now days so when I saw this and saw the price $3 I thought yes, this is going to give nice beautiful filled in brows with that gorgeous highlight everyone wants.... Well I was wrong, extremely wrong, the product in the pencil was just so soft that even trying to do a light application gave me these thick ugly block brows and even to use a brows brush to take off some product did not help me.
The highlighter end of it, was a bit better, it was blendable and alot easier to manage but I found the product to peachy, it wasn't a nice tone for my skin so unfortunately that did not work out either.
The actual pencil itself was great, it had a lid for 1 end and a pencil sharpener for the other, it was easy to chuck into any makeup bag or even handbag for those clubbing nights, that was great.
Over though not a fan of this one, will not be using again nor will I recommend to anyone for use.
Honestly this is one of the products I regret buying, did not like it at all and I like never ever use it, I tried many different ways to apply, and blend but it just never really gave me the look I was after, looked too cakey and didn't sit well around the pores... Would not repurchase
I won't complain too much as I purchased for dirt cheap of iherb but wouldn't bother with repurchasing again.
It's a good sized fat pencil that is very easy to apply, my problem with it is that it is too soft and creamy and doesn't last on my skin all that well.
It's easy to apply as it's so soft but that also means the pencil needs to be resharpened after every second use, it's not going to last all that long! The highlight part of the pencil seems to be the worst as it's very hard to blend in and have it look natural.
The one good point is the colour, I have the dark brown which suits my skin really well, just doesn't last and smudges off in no time flat.
All in all this is something I could easily see myself throwing away, but as I'm so cheap, and like to try everything before giving up on a product I switched to using this as an eyeliner, still a fail.
I purchased the medium one, the pencil was more red than brown and the lifter was darker than my skin tone so the whole thing was wrong. But maybe the lighter shade will work better but I'm not too interested in finding out.
