HELPFUL TIP
Part of what helps this eyeliner provide such a natural look is the uniquely shaped tip. This video from Bobbi Brown shows you how to make the most out of this product.

WHAT IT DOES
This eyebrow pencil is perfect for beginners and pros alike because it creates precise, hair-like strokes that are soft and blendable. It's also waterproof, which means less touch-ups throughout the day.

APPLICATION TIP
To define the shape of your eyebrows, start by using the angled side of a brow pencil to create a soft line along the top and lower edges of your natural arch and tail. Then, use the flat side of the pencil to fill in your brows with short, feathery strokes.

WHY IT MADE THE LIST
Okay, this eyebrow pencil is truly exceptional. It has a micro triangle shape with a thicker side to fill in sparse areas and a thinner point for shaping and defining. The vegan wax-based formula provides rich color that won't smudge, fade, or transfer. Additionally, it contains castor oil, which nourishes and promotes the overall growth and health of your brow hairs. 

PROMISING REVIEW
"I have no tails on my brows... just "half-brows" from over plucking. This is the FIRST pencil that goes on to the bare skin with no pressure, it's smooth, doesn't skip, isn't waxy, and it stays all day.. It also makes the little flick or hair like thin strokes in the front without them being too thick.... It's just fast and easy. I can do a full brow in seconds. I'm a cheapskate most of the time, but I will pay full price for this, and I actually bought a back up which is unheard of for me..... It is one of my favorite makeup products that I own."
