Maybelline Brow Satin Review

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!

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.

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!

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! :)

I got this from pak save. There was only one colour theree so I got it thinking it looked about right but it probably is a tiny bit too dark. But ignoring that, this products is a time saver for me, I either don't do my brows, or I perfect them and spend 15 mins on them, no inbetween! So now I can have an in between, I can use the sponge end and a brush and have decent looking brows in less than a minute!

This product makes getting awesome brows easy! The setting pencil is great for creating a clean line at the bottom of the brow, and the powder sponge tip is perfect for filling the brow in. I've always struggled using just a pencil or just powder, but this is the ideal combination of both.

Neat idea and not messy compared to brow powders ive used. This is a duo pencil with a pencil one end and powder Powder the other. I chose the blonde shade which works well for me providing i dont over do it! I looked up the reviews on here before purchasing which were good. I use the powder end to faintly draw my brows, as they have virtually disappeared lol, then i go over with the pencil to draw the shape which works for me. Need to be careful not to overload as im fair skinned. Make sure you wind pencil up before putting on lid to avoid breakage. I was finding the product difficult to apply if i got my moisturiser on my eyebrows, but solution was to use my Benefit browvo conditioning eyebrow primer before applying and it applies no problem. Its a great colour for me only thing is the product easily comes off as i wear glasses/sunglasses sometimes which is so frustrating. Yet to find a product that can stay on eventhough these companies claim they do. Apart from this its a great product and best one i have used so far!

I chose the shade medium brown, the retractable pencil is a little thin but does the job if you take a bit longer to apply. The cushion applicator on the other end is handy for blending any excess product. I would highly reccomend this brow pencil, and its reasonably priced as well.

This is a brow product I stumbled across in farmers one day years ago that I grabbed to try out. I’ve since repurchased many times and use it often. It’s always sharp thanks to being a retractable liner and the other smudged end has a little powder product that effortlessly smudges it out. It’s super quick and I always get great results no matter the look I’m trying to achieve. Now don’t get me wrong I do still love my ABH pomade but that takes time and concentration I don’t have since having 2 more kids. This just works and it’s affordable and I often stumble upon multi deals etc. Will continue to repurchase and hope like heck they don’t discontinue it!
