Maybelline Brow Satin Review

This product is great for those wanting an easy, natural application for eyebrows, enhanced the brows with a nice soft look, would definitely recommend.

I was lucky enough to be chosen for the trial team for this product, and have been using it for a couple of weeks now until I decided to finally sit down and write this review. I was sent the dark brown colour, because my hair colour is black. The Brow Satin product itself is a double ended pencil, with a thin, soft pencil on one end, and a spongey powder on the other end. To start off, I have to say that as someone who is still trying to figure out eyebrows, this product was initially a bit difficult to use properly. There were minimal directions on the packaging, and so my first attempt to use this product ended up a disaster, as I ended up with over-dramatic brows. The shade of the pencil is much, much darker than the small amounts of powder which comes out, only after pumping it quite a bit. I realise that the pencil is intended to define the brows, and so it makes sense for it to be darker, but when the powder doesn't have much colour payoff at all, it ends up becoming a bit difficult.

However, I found that after a few trials and errors, and figuring out where to start defining your brow, and how much you need to build up the powder, my brows stood out nicely and looked quite neat. I ended up becoming more impressed with the product as time went on, and now it's one of my favourite brow products!

One end of the product's got brow product which is quite easy to use when I'm filling in my brows, and the other end's a brow pencil which makes this product pretty convenient. The pencil draws on with little pressure, different to most brow pencils where I usually have to push harder for the pigment to show. I still find that I have to use my concealer afterwards to 'block' out some of the brow products because I usually prefer a more defined brow look, but this was easy to use when I'm in a rush and just want an easy brow product (as compared to the ABH pomade).

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?)

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!
