Maybelline Tattoo Brow 36hr Pencil

Love this. So I get my brows hennaed which I’m obsessed with but once it starts wearing off between appts, I’ve never quite found the right brow pencil to help with those few days. But now. This is great. It’s got so much more staying power than other pencils I’ve used. Cute packaging and easy to sharpen.

I should really have invested in something like Maybelline’s Tattoo Brow 36HR Pigment Eyebrow Pencil way back! Up until now I’ve been filling in holes with eyeshadow and using vaseline and an old mascara to get things in place. I tried an old-school brown pencil once but decided it was useless.

I’ve been using the Maybelline Tattoo Brow 36HR Pigment Eyebrow Pencil in dark brown. Even when in a rush I can use small, light strokes fill in the gaps with the pencil whilst seeming precise and not making. My brows look really natural after smoothing things into place with the spoolie eyebrow tool on the end. They stay in place all day, the colour doesn’t fade and it washes off easily. Perfect that you can sharpen it as you need too, I’m truly loving this product!

First of all, this made me realise that I need to go and get my eyebrows threaded ASAP!! This is actually the first time that I have used an eyebrow pencil and I LOVED it! It was super easy to apply and I love the eyebrow brush at the opposite end of the pencil, amazing the differemce just that can make. It is a nice soft pencil that has really good coverage and is easy to use. The shade was absolutely perfeft for my brows and I was pleasantly surprised with the dramatic result I got. The packaging is nice, attractive, light and easy to use. It should last a reasomable time as the eyebrow colour does last a couple of days, unless of course you scrub it off by mistake in the shower, so it's not like you have to use it every single day. The price of this pencil is very reasonable for what you get and much cheaper than getting a regular tint at the salon and so quick and easy to use! I was very pleasantly surprised as I thought it would be harder to get this right but I got it perfect first time round and I will 100% be recommending this to my friends!

The Maybelline Tattoo Brow Pencil is a stylish looking double ended black pencil with a spooly on one end and brow pencil on the other. Each end has its own protective cover.

I have dark blonde/ light brown hair and tried the Soft Brown shade, which is a good solid brown, no red tones. I think this shade would suit a range of brown hair colours.

The pencil goes on a little dark, but blends out nicely with the spooly for a natural look. The product glides on easily, a light touch is best for a softer finish as it doesn't budge once dried.

The only complaint I have is that the pencil cover doesn't stay on so you need to tuck it into your hand when using the spooly end or it will fall off.

Overall a great product, definitely performs as well as high end, more expensive brow products.

This review is part of a trial I have been selected to undertake- thanks Beauty Review! I trialled this over a 5 day period. I selected the soft brown colour as didnt see an option for a dark blonde colour (dark blonde better for me as fair skinned and blonde hair), which Maybelline has as a colour choice with their brow satin pencil I was using before trial. Dark blonde would have been a better colour for me for the Tattoo Studio Pencil perhaps Maybelline could look into this. Pencil arrived in cardboard backing with the pencil inserted into a plastic sleeve sealed to the cardboard. Visually the pencil tip was same as a crayola crayon in shape. Was very easy to apply, tip was sturdy didnt easily break i didnt have to press hard, i was able to easily follow my very faint,very fair eyebrows and from there i built up the shape i required and used the spoolie to comb it through very lightly otherwise it would have removed it due to my eyebrow hair being minimal. It was darker than i would have liked for my complexion etc but i loved the finish it gave me by far the best finish. I wear reading glasses and sunglasses alot and found it didnt rub the product off which was fab for me as all the other pencils and powders i have tried have rubbed off leaving my eyebrows looking rather odd so 10 out of 10 for this Maybelline! The product lasted a total of about 21 hours as when i woke up in the morning one eyebrow was completely rubbed off and the other eyebrow had minimal amount left so i didnt find it lasted 36 hours for me. The product lasted all day for me and into the evening right up until i washed my other makeup off but my main accomplishment was that it stayed on all day. The pencil didnt have any scent not that it needs it! After 4 days pencil needed sharpening which i did with my cosmetic sharpener ( Maybelline recommends this rather than an ordinary pencil sharpener). The pencil sharpened fine - the coating surrounding the pencil is a thinnish plastic but not sure how much you can sharpen it as not had it long enough and would depend on useage. Because of this i am not sure if it will be value for money yet. Overall I think this is a great little pencil and would highly recommend and would definitely buy again.

I’ve used this every day since I got this and the biggest surprise for me was definitely how well it lasts. I found I could apply this in the morning, wear it all day and even go to the gym and be hot and sweaty and I don’t need to worry about my brows going anywhere! For someone who is so fair I have almost no brows normally I found this perfect!

I was lucky enough to get to trial this pencil that also has a brush at the other end. It glided on smoothly and I found that it filled in my slightly patchy eyebrows wonderfully. Simple to use and if I did accidentally put a bit much in one area, I simply used the brush end and it blended it in nicely. It lasted all day and came off easily with my eye make up remover. I tried the deep brown 260 colour which was a perfect fit for my naturally brown brows. I love this pencil a lot!

I have been using a powder for the past year so I was excited to give this a go. I love how it has the spoolie at the opposite end which means you only need the one item to complete your brow look compared to me using a powder, brush and then a spoolie! I found this formula very pigmented and easy to work with. I have to master my right eyebrow as I would make it look too dark but the formula was very easy to work with and blend out and I ended up being very happy with the outcome. I however didn’t trial this for 36hrs as I can’t sleep with make up on but I did have it on for 15 hours without it budging and still looking fresh! I will be recommending this brow pencil and be using it over powder and pomade!

I was selected to trial this item and I am super grateful that I was as it is AWESOME! The brow pencil itself is nicely weighted with a matte feel. It glides on without effort and blends beautifully using the eyebrow brush. I applied it in the morning and left it on overnight to see if it would fade… it didn't fade! It definitely lasts the 36 hours it claims to! I am thrilled with the results and have added this product to my 101 must haves!

The pencil is super creamy and highly pigmented. It's soft in texture, not like other eyebrow pencils I've used before with a hard lead. Doesn't take long to dry.

I sweat quite a bit so I wipe my forehead a lot, often smudging as I go. This didn't smudge!! It stayed strong through a night's sleep test, only needing touch up in the outter edges. Separately, it survived a long lunch while I was dabbing my face from sweat.

It seems pretty waterproof, you will need a makeup remover to clean it off properly.

Very happy with the staying power, amazed!
