At first, upon swatching this on the back of my hand, I thought this was going to make my brows far too dark. I have quite naturally dark eyebrows anyway, but I do like to fill them in and neaten them. I found the pencil to be quite waxy and easy to blend in and it glided on quite smoothly. Much to my surprise, it wasn’t too dark and looked really good, quite natural. The spoolie blended the product into my natural eyebrows well which I really liked. However, I found that I had to sharpen this quite frequently, as it wore down easily, which in the long run would annoy me a bit and I don’t think the pencil would last very long with everyday use. I applied this using short, very light strokes until I reached my desired shape and colour. Because this comes out quite darkly, I didn’t need to press very hard and hardly needed to go over my stroke multiple times to get the colour wanted, as I like natural looking brows rather than really bold ones. It did make my brows neater and gave them good shape. I found that this lasted the whole day while I was at work and didn’t really fade too much. I often got compliments on how ‘on fleek’ my brows were looking! While I did like this product and it looked good, I would use it again, however it probably wouldn't be my go to- I think I would still reach for my current brow product over this one.

Tips: Apply this with a light hand! I found short, light strokes worked best and build it up. Also use the spoolie before and after applying the product to blend it out and fix any stray hairs.
I have never tried to do my brows myself - I have incredibly faint eyebrows, and usually leave it to the pros (on the odd occasion that I get my makeup done for me). So I was a little hesitant about putting my hand up for this trial!
Turns out it was the best place for me to start 'experimenting' with my brow colour. You can easily start off light, and build the level of colour you want. I'm still a bit scared to go dark, but this pencil is great for just adding a touch of colour.
The brush is awesome for keeping it all looking nice and tidy too!
Tips: Go easy! Start light and build up to the level of colour you want
Granted, this was the first brow pencil I've ever bought/used, so I don't have much to compare it with. BUT, it is life changing. It didn't take me long to get the hang of using this, and it is amazing how structured eyebrows can open your whole face. My eyebrows are naturally quite dark so dying them isn't really practical - most days this is literally the only makeup I wear. I love it.
The affordable price works for me too, as I go through it faster than any other makeup item.
I'm obsessed.
Tips: Go slow and practice. And try not to wipe your eyebrows immediately afterward!
Have really light patchy brows an this pencil is cheap and easy to use, it comes in a perfect colour for me, lasting me ages, will definitely repurchase when I run out. Great to give you everyday brows
I have only used this product once since I opened it. Here's why.
The formula was very waxy and pigmented, making my brows look heavy even with a little bit of pressure put on when applying. Although it did apply smoothly with the waxy formula, it was very crumbly which I did not like the look of. The formula makes the pencil run out pretty quickly so re-sharpening after each use is necessary.
I like how there is a spoolie on one side as it is handy, but the texture was too abrasive on my dry skin and it kept flaking off. Also, using the spoolie after the product is applied is a no go as the product smudges and the colour gets taken off.
Overall, this product does not go well with dry skin.
Tips: Apply lightly.
Not a bad brow pencil but, as my brows are quite thin, it's a little to broad of a pencil for me. I, personally much prefer the microbrow pencil styles. The colour range for this product, however, is quite decent and it is easy to use. Would recommend for those with thicker brows, otherwise it can make your brows look a little too fake. The spoolie on the end is great and convenient.
I came across this Maybelline Brow Precise brow pencil when we went to Rotorua and I left my brow pencil at home. I had to buy one because I can't put makeup on without brows. I liked it when I tried it because it's very easy to apply and I love how it looks on my brows too. The really good thing that I like about it is the brush at the other end which helps to blend the brow product to my brows. The least that I liked is that it doesn't seem to last on my brows. I have a combination type of skin so maybe this wouldn't last long if you have an oily T area.
Tips: Add a brow primer to make it last a but longer
I find this pencil very hard to get thin strokes from and that it makes my brows look very unnatural which i do not like. The colour was good and matched my brows reasonably well. I just found this hard to use with with some practise it may be easier i just never had the time to keep trying it.
I loved this product when I first started using it - the colour matched me perfectly, I was able to create smooth, precise lines and of course the brush feature was super handy and a big factor as to why I bought it in the first place. It stayed on fairly well throughout the day too. However I found that it was never quite the same after the first use. It didn't sharpen well at all, crumbling all the time and breaking off and I was never able to get it as sharp as new. I also found it to be quite soft so it needed to be resharpened constantly. Way too much admin! I have since moved onto the e.l.f pencil which I much prefer.
First brow pencil i have bought. I love the look it gives me and that is because it is a soft pencil i suppose. The only issue is that it runs out pretty quick so i have to keep sharpening it.
Tips: Go slow to ensure nice shape
