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.

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.

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.

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.

Slowly upping my brow game and this use to be my go to but not anymore.

It was a cheap and readily available brow pencil which is why I gravitated towards it but there are so many products that can trump this these days and for a similar price. It’s a good cheapie if your after a quick fix but is really only good for filling in the background, if you want to draw defined brows I suggest something else.

For me the colour personally is a little more golden brown than I would prefer. It isn’t sharp as - more a blunt tip even after sharpening its not sharp and I’ve tried a few sharpeners.. hence I recommend use for shading background colour for more a powdered look vs using for brow strokes.

So it does fill in gaps but colour wise and precision wise I prefer alternative products.

I don't mind this product but it is finicky you have to have it sharpened but then when it's sharp it's very pigmented I do prefer the twist up pencils just more convenient and quicker

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.

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.
