Maybelline Brow Satin Review

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.

Just bought this few nights ago as a last-minute "I need to buy one because I just ran out" purchase. So surprised on how easy it is to use and how quick you can apply it!

I'm used to using those traditional ones where you need to ocassionally sharpen it but I just love how this is a twist one. The pencil/crayon itself has the right amount of colour (for me) as it does not give you a shocking "dark" colour where you'd feel like you've put on too much and it gives you the flexibility to work on how dark you want it to go.

As for the other end, the sponge really helps with filling in those spots that you need work on with the right amount of dabbing and is buildable (don't go to hard as I think this is why people sometimes find it messy).

I also love how I don't need to use a brush to blend it as the sponge works perfectly fine for me giving it a natural finish (might be different for others).

As for application time, I normally just do my brows and winged eyeliner for work and normally takes me 5 minutes to do both but with this, I now take 2-3 minutes tops (with more time doing my eyeliner).

I normally go for a natural look with as less make up as possible so I think this really works well for the people same as me. Not sure if it will work well for people who prefers doing a "fuller brow look".

I definitely recommend this to all those ladies who's normally got full-on days and is after a quick eyebrow fix as it works wonders given a short application time.

Super love this product and will definitely repurchase it again! :)

When BR offered to send me brow products I was all over it like... Cara Delevigne on brows. Although I feel far too old to be saying brows on fleek I still like to search for that product to bring me closer to perfection. Or at least closer to being OK. My brows although having nice shape are quite light in colour so I like to have something that adds a bit of colour and hold to my brows. I can't claim the success of the shape of my brows to myself though as I'm far too lazy and get them waxed every 5 - 6 weeks. I snapped this product up in the shade dark blonde, which I really like.

This brow product is so different from anything else that I have tried. At one end is a retractable gel type pencil (not as creamy as the Brow Precise) and at the other a wee sponge with powder on it. The powder is in the lid so each time you put the lid on more product gets dispensed onto the sponge. To be honest I had to go onto Youtube to figure out how to use it. Maybelline have some great videos on there with how to use it. So the idea is that you first use the pencil part to lightly fill in your brows then put the powder on top and it sticks to the penciled in parts. I found it weird to have a brow pencil without a spoolie included, but a pencil only has two ends I suppose!

I found this a bit strange to use but it did create a nice natural look. The pencil is nice and small so makes for easy application of small strokes. My one big problem with this product was I got a wee bit of fall out with the powder end and as it was so pigmented that even if I tiny bit dropped onto your face it is quite hard to flick off without ending up with a line of colour across my face (especially when I do my brows after doing the rest of my face makeup). I also found that the sponge didn't make for a particularly accurate way of applying the powder either. It meant I had to clean up a wee bit around the edges. I did like it though and I think it makes for a easy and natural looking way of filling in your brows if you had sparse parts. For me though I found the two steps too much work just to add colour as I felt they still weren't set in place. I would much rather use just a creamy pencil, or a brow powder by itself.

Interesting product to try out, but it won't be one that gets added to my everyday routine. I do think this could be great for those that are filling in some more sparse parts though.
