Maybelline Brow Satin Review

I had been really looking forward to trying out the Maybelline Brow Satin in Medium Brown after searching for a good brow product for months. Unfortunately I was very disappointed by this product - it just didn't work well for my brows at all!

The idea is a good one - a double-ended product with a very thin pencil at one end and a powder applied using small sponge at the other. Unfortunately, I found the pencil far too thin and hard to create natural-looking brows easily, and I found the powder very difficult to disperse using the sponge at the other end. The overall looks I was left with after trying this product were always harsh, artificial, and unnatural looking! The colours was perfect for my skin tone and hair colour - but I found it was just far too difficult to achieve the look I wanted.

My search for the perfect brow product continues!

I bought this as I lost my Sleek eyebrow kit. I hadn't used a pencil style in about a year, so it was weird to set used to at first, but I have found that it is a very quick and easy way to do my brows! The powder spongey end it great when you have no time, or are just going "makeup free", as it helps to just fill in your brows and helps (for all us blonde haired girls) make your brows look like they exist. The waxy pencil end is very smooth and not overly pigmented, so you don't have to worry about it leaving dark lines on your brows! It is easy to use to create small strokes as well as defining the edges of your brows to help them look crisp. Only downside I have found is that the powder can sometimes cling to your brow hairs in little clumps, which is an easy fix, as you can get rid of the clumps by brushing your brows with a spoolie or comb.

Overall, I think that if you are looking for a quick and easy way to do your brows, this is worth your time and money!

(P.S. I use the lightest shade, i think its blonde?)

A dual ended pencil bat has a waxy end retractable pencil that's quite thick and pigmented but easy to use. The opposite end is a sponge tip applicator that has a brown cap which both ends do but this ed is the shade of the product . So easy to identify which end has which in it. Also inside this brown cap lid is product of which you press the sponge applicator into and product disperses onto the sponge.

I outline with the pencil end it's very pigmented so light shirt strokes are best. Then I follow in with the sponge end which is a filler but it doesn't mimic hair strokes so it's a nice filler then I go in with my pomade. The product itself is super simple to ok with and so pigmented.... I love it and what makes it better is the price I can say I like this just as much as my brow whiz although I prefer the spooley and thin pencil. However this still does the job of ABH.

I love this product. I have always had trouble with my eyebrows but with this pencil I am able to get the look I want and to me it looks fairly natural or as natural as I would like my brows to be without making me look moody.

The pencils goes on smoothly and the powder fills well. I line the bottom of my brow and sometimes the top and then fill in with the powder. It is a very great idea and so glad I own one. I love it so much I bought my sister one.

I got this in shade dark brown. I use the gel liner to line my brows and it applies so easily and smoothly, it doesn't drag on your skin like other liners. The other end of the pencil is a pointed sponge with brow powder which meant to fill in brows and blend at the same time, however the sponge applicator is hard to control in terms of how much product is applied, so I would just fill in my brows with the powder then blend with a spoolie. This product lasts on my brows up to 12 hours but I did notice some fading on hot days when I sweat more. I would definitely purchase this product! Great one from maybelline.

I was looking forward to trying this, but was equally sceptical as I have very sparse eyebrows and I haven't yet found a product that fills them in as I wanted too; however I was pleasantly surprised by this product.

The pencil end worked well, but I found it a little hard to get it dark enough, maybe this was due to the colour and the fact that I like my brows a little darker than natural!

The powder however is awesome. The colour and texture is perfect, and it fills in evenly without being overbearing or too much. The applicator brush is really easy to use, and its pretty hard to mess it up! I love the way there is no dipping a brush in powder to apply, rather it is all inside :)

I love this product, i've never been very good at the brow game, I have fair and thin eyebrows and the 'power' brow just looks ridiculous on me! So I needed a product that was a light colour and just something to fill in my patchy thin eyebrows. I bought this after the hype of Maybelline's brow product came and so I thought why not give it a shot, Maybelline is usually my saviour! The product comes double ended, one is like a crayon that you use to fill in, and the other end is a more richer darker colour if you want it to go over. I only use the crayon as i don't need to have darker brows. It really works for me, its easy to use, just a twist top. The thin crayon makes it easy to apply in a natural way, it doesn't go on too heavy, so if you want a heavier look you can use the other end. I've had this product for a few months now and use it every day, super happy with it!

Amazing, I wear this every time I go to an occasion, it's easy to apply. This is one of the products on my top 5 cosmetics list.

I've never really been a fan of traditional brow pencils as I feel like product is wasted when it is sharpened. I love that this minimises wasted as it's a twist up. It's so easy to use! If I'm short on time, I love using the sponge end to just fill in my brows - it looks so flawless and natural!

I found this on special when I needed a new brow pencil, and it's actually quite impressive for a 'drugstore' brand!

When I use this I use it to outline my brows and the Chi Chi Brow Pomade to fill them in. The powder end is not very useful (for me at least) as it's quite messy to use but the pencil end is perfect as it goes on easily, nice formula not too hard or easy to blend, and lasts all day easily.

Because it is a twist up pencil you never need to sharpen it, which is great for me however I do find if you drop it the pencil breaks and can fall out easily.

One thing I don't like is the range of colours, although it works for me some people just need a different sort of colour. This isn't too much of an issue as this product is 'drugstore', but I thought I'd still mention that.

I will for sure be buying this again, it's really easy to use and definitely a dupe for some more expensive brow pencils I've tried in the past.
