Maybelline Brow Precise Review

I am always open-minded when it comes to new brow products and this wasn’t any different. I went in to this with no expectations and no opinion. The Brow Precise caught my eye most because I am usually a pencil user when it comes to drawing my brows on.

I like the spoolie on the other end of the pencil because it means I can keep any stray hairs in check and make sure they are sitting in the correct place. I did find the spoolie gets quite abrasive on my sensitive skin, leaving it red and raw. I chose deep brown, which is a dark brown to make my brows stand out.

The formula of the pencil is much like a gel pencil but far more crumbly. The thing I found with the pencil is it crumbles at the drop of a hat. I pressed lightly to create an outline and the pencil simply crumbled on my skin. I had to re-sharpen it and start again. Again it broke. I used it the lightest way possible and still it drew a small line before falling apart again.

It works to make my brows look feathery and natural-ish but at the end of the day I want statement brows and this doesn’t deliver that. Verdict: I like to make my lines deliberate and precise. This pencil creates feathery strokes. It shouldn’t be called Brow Precise with a performance like that. I like the spoolie but that’s as far as it goes.

My eyebrows are naturally very thin and very fair, so I'm always looking for products to make them look more defined and full! I'd been using a powder for a few weeks before trying this, which had been making my brows look seriously fake and drawn-on. This product was a definite improvement!

Maybelline Brow Precise had a soft pencil at one end, and a spoolie-type comb at the other end. It glides on smoothly, and makes it easy to create very natural looking, yet defined brows. I will definitely continue to use this - while remaining on the lookout for other brow saviours!

My skin is very fair, and my hair is light brown. For these tones I recommend the shade Soft Brown.

Brows on fleek seem to be the phrase that I hear at least 5 times a day, and I think that shows the importance we pay to our brows, and so when I got this product I was so excited.

It comes in a typical pencil design, with the pencil at one end, and the spoolie at the other. The design is really simple so of course it's easy to use, but I dislike how it’s not a mechanical pencil (I am lazy, and having to sharpen it is a bit of a pain). However, because it is a normal pencil design, it means it has more product than the mechanical pencils so that's a bonus.

I really like the formula of the pencil. It is pigmented, and really creamy which I know is not everyone's cup of tea, and I myself also prefer waxy pencils, but it’s nice to have some variety in my collection. My only grudge with the pencil is the thickness. It is quadruple the size of my brow wiz so I found it hard to create small movements with the pencil.

I also didn't like the spoolie. Yes it does the job, don't get me wrong! But it’s quite big and almost thick and I found it slightly heavy and rough of my brows. It’s not a big deal but I thought I would mention it.

Overall, I actually liked using this pencil. I use it by running the spoolie through my brows, defining and filling in my brows with the pencil, and then running the spoolie through again which creates a really natural, full brow! However, the brow doesn't last the whole day so I recommend setting it with a wet brow product if you have one handy.

I love brows! Along with the rest of the world I am joining in on this trend. I went such a long time without doing anything too them that I look back on the pictures of myself in my younger years and wish I had realised that my face was missing brows. I have incredibly pale blonde brows so I think I look quite funny before I fill them in each day. I was happy to see this product come in blonde which is perfect for me, it is a nice ashy darker brown which I found good for my skin tone.

The packaging is pretty simple at first glance but I actually think it is really smart. There is the pencil at one end and the spoolie at the other. I find the spoolie did the trick, nothing fancy but I don't know how they could improve it. The genius part of this packaging it that the lids on both sides are clear. With my expensive Hourglass brow pencil the lids are opaque so you never know which end you are opening, no problem with this one. I do find as the product is quite creamy you will end up having to sharpen this quite often, I think I might run out of this quite quickly.

Now the product itself is quite awesome. The pencil is really waxy so you can quite lightly fill in your brows for a natural look. The waxy-ness also means that I didn't feel like I needed anything else to keep them in place all day. This means it was my number one product to take on holiday with me as it does two things at once for me. I do think the name 'precise' is a wee bit false as if you really want to create a precise look with this you would need to keep it fully sharpened at all times as it can be quite thick when it gets blunter. I don't mind though as I find it creates quite a natural easy everyday look quite easily.

For me this is my favourite brow pencil that I have tried in a really long time! As a everyday product if makes doing your brows really simple and I have added this to my everyday products.

So I recieved this product in the dark brown colour. I like that the product has a spooly but I generally like my pencils to be automatic. I find the task of sharpening a pencil to be tedious as well as it could ruin the pencil itself if you don't use the right sharpener. With that being said I actually quite like the product it self. I have black hair (asian) and the dark brown actually works okay if you are going with a very natural brow that is not filled in too much. Its very easy to go overboard with this and it can look completely wrong.

However as I was applying this product I did notice that bits of the product would flake off as I tried to apply in strokes. I don't know if it was just mine but it felt as though parts of the product was dry and crumbly whereas some parts were quite soft. So there was a bit of inconsistency in mine but it didn't bother me too much.

Anyways, with that being said this product is quite neutral, I usually prefer using pencils and this pencil wasn't that great but it wasn't terrible. I will continue using this but the fact that it isn't automatic will probably stop me from using this after I have run out of the tip of the pencil. I would highly recommend the dark brown colour for anyone with dark brunette hair with a little bit of red to it because it does have a slight red tint to it but only tiny.

Ive always used powder to fill in my brows and struggled to get the perfect ombre look, The maybelline brow precise made it so easy to acomplish the ombre brow look and still keep them looking natural and not overly bold. Perfect for those who dont like bold, in your face eyebrows and perfect for everyday. They stayed in place all day as promised and i dont think ill be switching back to powder.

I am in love with my eyebrows and always have to do them before I go out so I was excited to use this product!

The brow pencil looks like your typical pencil eyeliner/brow pencil.

I first used the brow pencil to shape and fill in my brows. I found it to be very thick and applied very easily. It was very dark against my eye brows which I didn't necessarily like. I found it only lasted a few hours and then had to be reapplied.

The brush on the other hand, I have never used one so it was a pleasant surprise the way it shaped and sculpted my eyebrows into the shape I wanted! Am very impressed with the brush side.

I would stick to my normal eyebrow pencil but I now use the brush all the time. If you enjoy doing your eyebrows then definetly go for it and see if you like it but not a necessity.

I quite liked this pencil, it was a really good colour match for my eyebrows. It was really handy having a brush on the end to help tidy my brows. It is antad waxy in texture and is quite a soft pencil so after using it once I had to sharpen it so I'm not sure if it would last very long.

I quite liked this pencil, it did just what I expected from an eyebrow pencil. The colour was pretty good, and stayed in place relatively well, but that's the thing. It wasn't the best pencil I've ever used but it wasn't the worst either. I thought it went blunt quite quickly but the spooly on the end was really good!

The Maybelline brow precise pencil matched my hair colour and skin tone perfectly. When following the directions which said to use light strokes when applying I noticed that it was quite difficult to apply this product lightly without making my brows appear too heavy. This would take some practice to perfect.
