Essence Eyebrow Designer Review

This is nothing glamorous. The packaging is basic, and so is the product, but it does the job of any other brow pencil.

I use it to fill in my brows, and can use a light touch easily. For a more dramatic look I can press more firmly - easy!

The brow brush isn't great, but I'm not too worried about that. The only downside is that I found the pencil quite hard to sharpen.

This eyebrow pencil is nice and thin, making it easier to hold and grib when applying it. It has a handy little brush on the end on the lid which saves time having to search for one, especially if you are in a hurry! There is a small colour range to choose from but a shade for all eyebrow colours and the colour range includes black! I’ve found this pencil easy to use. Very simple to define the eyebrows and create shape. Press lightly for a soft look or firm for a bold look. The pencil formula itself I found creamy and it definitely long wearing. The only downside is that this pencil doesn’t come with a pencil sharpener. I’ve used this pencil for a number of years and have continued to repurchase it. For such an affordable price, I will always keep this in my makeup collection.

I recently ran out of my other brow pencil so purchased this as a replacement on my last haul. There was a minimal selection of colours from memory 3 or 4 shades. Along the lines of Blonde, Dark Brown, Light Brown and Black. I have dark brown brows so brought the Dark Brown liner as I thought it would be more suitable than the black.

Packaging is quite simple. The whole pencil is the same colour as the shade inside. Has a little brush tip on the outside of the lid. Looks a bit cheap to me however it is a super affordable brand so to be expected. I prefer a spoolie. I've used this a couple of times in the last week and have noticed a few things. The shade is too warm/light for my brows I can live with that. It applies patchy and I don't like it.

I really wish they had a taupe colour in the range. I prefer my last brow product so much more than this. I imagine I will finish this up but I will not be repurchasing.

Thos is a really lovely brow pencil. The colout worked perfect for me and it was an easy stay in place application. For a drug store brand pencil its a wonder worker.

Brow pencils are not something I spend much money on as I rarely use them and tend to get the same results regardless of what one I use or who its by. I picked up this one from Essence just to have a brow pencil in my collection, if I don't feel like using my pomade. It was maybe around $3 if that, so cant complain price -wise. I really like it! I wish there were more shades, but that an issue I have with the Essence brand as a whole. This pencil stays on nicely, gives a light and natural look, if your wanting dramatic and dark brows this wouldn't be the best product. But if your just needing something for a quick, everyday look or just to fill in the sparse areas, this would be a great affordable option.
