L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Xpert Review

I have to say l'oreal are a little behind the ball on this one. Other brands have had these for a long time already. But hey the wait was worth it. I honestly can't fault this eyebrow pencil.

It is smooth to apply but had enough wax to hold the shape. The spool is nice and course making blending super easy. Makes brows look nice and full while still looking natural.

I personally used a fiber product over top as I prefer a less perfect look. But this is personal preference. It worked well with the fibre product and lasted well on hot days.

Give it a try, you wont be disappointed and it's super easy to use if you are a beginner with brows!

I have thick black brows which have started to thin a bit over the years so for me, this product is perfect. It is so great to have one end being the brow-filler and the other being the brush. The brow-filler is a fabulous texture and the shape of it being angled to match your brow angle means easy application. I was hugely impressed, it comes in different colours so I'm going to get it as a Christmas gift for some girlfriends.

Is a nice silver shaped pencil with two ends. One end with a great wee brush that works very well and the other end the eyebrow pencil that has a lid the same colour as the pencill colour.

The pencil is triangular/slanted in shape and that makes it so easy to create beautiful lines. Really impressed with the design and loved this pencil for that. It's a good sized pencil that is very easy to hold. The formula feels super smooth and creamy to apply and was easy to remove if went a little of track. It is a mechanical pencil which I much prefer over a pencil that requires sharpening.

The brush does a good job and if you use it after using the pencil it blends your brows really well and makes them look very natural.

My only complaint is that the colour was extremely orange and not natural looking at all on me. I thought brunette would be just right for me but it was definitely more orange than brown.

Brow pencils abound today. I have tried an eye-raising amount of these- pencils, twist-up pencils, pomades,felt tip, temporary tattoo style, powders- and the best ones have been soft, creamy, and retractable pencils like this L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Xpert in 108 Warm Brunette.

The triangular tip is both precise and chunky in one- you can sharpen your arches but also glide over brow for fullness and colour.

The gray and brown plastic casing is sleek and serious, and features a decent length spoolie at the end (about 3mm length bristles).

As a medium brunette, I found this long-lasting shade to be redder than I would usually use but this gave my brows some warmth, and I like this.

There is no apparent smell to this affordable ($22.99 rrp) product and I doubt that this would alter much over time, due to lid. It did not irritate my skin at all.

There is about 3cm of pencil and this could last me about a year, as only a small amount is needed for each application.

Brows are the bane of my existence - mine are sparse and light, so rushing my brows isn't an option if I want them to look remotely natural.When I saw the creamy looking pencil I was immediately pessimistic - it looked like it would be a fairly heavy looking product on, which I couldn't hope to get looking natural with my brows.

I couldn't have been more wrong! It was so easy to apply with a light hand in short strokes - it looked soft and natural, and was easy to blend with the attached brush when necessary. Towards the points of my brows, using a slightly heavier hand for a stronger finish also worked perfectly and still looked great.

The longevity was good, too - it lasted all day, with only a small amount of general wear.

Personally, the triangle pencil struck me as a bit gimmicky - while it did allow for a little more control and find definition initially, the pencil tip quickly molds itself to a more generally rounded shape once you start to actually use it.

Overall, I'm so impressed by how much quicker this made doing my brows, and will definitely continue using it going forward.

I didn't have too high hopes for this product, I'm really particular about brow products because a lot of products wear away on my oily skin. I have to admit, I'm super impressed with this product. The formula was pigmented yet soft enough to use and I like the fact you could control how 'fierce' you wanted your brows to look! Something I'll definitely consider buying.

I've been very impressed with this Brow Artist Xpert product from LÓreal Paris, right from the very first application. Here's why:

* Firstly, it's an attractive-looking product in silver and brown, with a retractable, triangular-shaped pencil at one end and a blending brush at the other. Both ends have lids that are easy to get on and off, and the whole product is easy to grip and use. I was quite surprised when I first took the lid off the pencil end, as the triangular-shaped pencil is not something I'd come across before. But after using it I can honestly say it's been well-designed, with the user in mind...

* The triangular-shaped pencil does indeed seem to allow for more control over the whole shaping/shading process than many other brow pencils do. It definitely helps me to be more precise when defining and sculpting my brows. I've never really been that great at doing my own brows, but the more I use this product, the more I feel I'm improving on my technique! So it's a pretty aptly-named product in my opinion. You DO feel like a bit of a brow artist expert when using this product! Don't get me wrong, I'm still not perfect at it, I still have the odd mishap, but I'm so much better at brow artistry with this product at the ready!

*The pencil is soft and the formula is lovely and creamy, so you only need a light touch when applying it - no need to break out the biceps!

* The brush at the other end of the applicator is very good for then blending the colour in well. I'm able to blend with this brush without too many brow dramas at all!

*The product stays on the brows well and doesn't seem to wear off or smudge over the course of the day. It does take a bit more effort to take off at the end of the day (compared to some other brow products I've used), but that's a very small price to pay for some nice-looking brows!

In summary, the triangular-shaped pencil may not be groundbreaking, but I do think it's a beneficial design as it allows for more accuracy and control. The brush then blends the colour in nicely. For these reasons, this brow pencil has the edge over others I've used. You can't really ask for more in a brow pencil, unless you're wanting it gold plated - with perhaps a diamond on top!

I'd recommend LÓreal Paris Brow Artist Xpert to anyone who does their own brows. It'd be perfect for younger women just starting out at doing their brows or indeed the older girls like myself who still need to improve on their technique! It's a very helpful, user-friendly brow pencil that I can't really fault. FIVE kisses.

Thanks BR for giving me the opportunity to be part of this amazing trial. I've never really used eyebrow products before so was keen to give this a go.

I have overplucked brows which I have been trying to grow out for the past 6 months. Such a mission. I have dark hair so choose the shade ebony. I love that it is wind up as I hate sharpening things, one end has a little brush and the other is the wind up pencil with a triangular shaped tip.

I like to give my brows a good brush first then I use light strokes and fill them in. It is not highly pigmented but that gives me a more natural look. It is creamy and applies with ease.  After applying I brush the colour through, it really transforms my brows but again they look so natural and beautifully groomed. It does not rub off or move around at all.

Overall I really like using this eyebrow pencil and I will happily continue to use it. It is a great, affordable price and easily available.

I have a lot of experience with brow pencils, specifically the retractable pencil kind. I prefer this type of brow product, as I am not really the hugest fan of the super sharp perfect brow, I like to be a little on the more natural side.

Although the shade sent was unfortunately wrong for me ( it's brunette -I am blonde) I still tested the formula, and did a full brow trial on my boyfriend (dedicated to the trial much?). The formula glides on evenly, and can be made darker or lighter by adjusting the pressure upon application. The head of the pencil is thicker at one end and thinner at the other, so you can definitely switch sides for your desired line thickness, but as standard with this type of product it's never going to be as precise as a very thin brush. It fills in well, and is very forgiving in that you don't end up with two fat slugs for eyebrows even if you do go over the same area maybe one too many times. It has a brush on the other end, although I personally found it to perhaps not be quite bushy enough to achieve the best shape, but it still works nonetheless. Given that the brush and pencil and two-in-one, it of course is perfect for travelling with, or just carrying in the handbag for touch ups during the day/night.

This product is great for those who like to do a quick brow fill-in, but it can definitely transition to a night time look; with more brushing and precision when doing the application. This also has the added benefit of being easy for beginners to use, but being totally fine for the more experienced make-up user.

Overall, the product isn't necessarily all that different from everything else similar on the market, so the price point could be a factor in whether I would re-purchase this myself. It's certainly a great little eyebrow pencil and brush, and I find it to be a super convenient product, that is suitable for pretty much everyone.
