My Experience: Eyebrow pencils are one of the less commonly used cosmetic items, but they are starting to become more popular! I love the “Eye Brows” pencil from MAC cosmetics for many reasons. I’ll start off by telling you I used to have extremely thick eyebrows, but waxing and constant plucking has really thinned them out. Unfortunately, now they are a little too thin and even have some spots where the hair barely grows. Thankfully, these pencils do the trick! By gently penciling over your eyebrows, it begins to fill in those lighter spots. This gives a much fuller look and adds darker coloring as well. These pencils can also be used to shape your brows better. I personally do not have much of an arch, but adding the eyebrow pencil to the top of the brow creates an arched effect. In order to use it to the best effect, press extremely lightly. It should gently touch your skin, but you do not want to color yourself like a crayon. The more you go over the area, the darker it will become. Remember to buy a color that is similar to your natural hair color. A little warning for all of you: this product will smear on your face if you rub your eyebrows. Just like mascara, it can smudge if you are not careful. If you’re worried about that, you can always try an eyebrow gel that dries better.
Feel free to comment any recommendations on a gel product! I’m always willing to try something new!
