Holy Grail Brow Product.

Prior to using this, I wasn't a massive fan of brow pencils and was massively faithful to my ELF brow kit. I got this as a part of Sephora's Favorites Superstars kit and was a little skeptical about it just because I prefer to use a brush to fill in my brows.

The packaging on this is nice - it is a very thin wind up pencil with a spoolie at one end. It doesn't feel super sturdy but I have dropped it a few times and it hasn't broken (yet).

The pencil end is super, super fine and thin which suprised me when I first used it. However, upon using it daily - I really like this because it allows you to create a natural look as the strokes mimic hair.

I have the shade dark brown and it matches my brow colour perfectly. The pencil itself is quite hard and you need to use semi firm strokes to get the most of the pigmentation - if you use light strokes then the result is lighter. I like this because it means that I can fill in the front part of my brows without them looking super stark.

Even though I haven't used up my current brow wiz, I have already purchased this and will repurchase it again and again as it is the perfect product for me.

A must have!

I've had this little gem of a product for a few months now and I dread the day it runs out. It's a super sleek, thin twist up pencil with the most amazing spoolie you will ever use - it's small and dense, making it perfect for ensuring product is evenly distributed when combing through the brows.

As I have sparse brows I find this product isn't ideal for doing my entire brow because it has such a fine tip it can be a rather lengthy task, plus I think it's a waste of the already minimal amount of product you get. So I go in with something like my dipbrow, fill in the majority of the brow, then define the top and bottom with this pencil. No matter what I've used to fill in the brow I will always go in with this to define as I'm yet to find anything else that's a good colour match with such a fine tip.

It lasts all day long but the reason it has lost a mark is because it doesn't deposit as much pigment as I would like. This works well for the top of the brow where you want a softer colour but the bottom of the brow needs to be darker so you have to go over the line a few times. I also don't like that you can't tell how much product you've used, so you kinda always have to have a backup for that day you inevitably, unexpectedly run out.

Tips: Even if you decide not to repurchase this product when it runs out, keeping the spoolie alone makes it worth the purchase!

No Brow.

Whilst Anastasia Beverly Hills has some wonderful products, the Brow Whiz is not one of them. I picked this up as a product to lightly fill in my brows and give a small amount of definition. I wasn't asking for a lot, but this product doesn't do a thing.

The packaging is very lightweight and plastic, and I can imagine it breaking easily. The pencil is a wind-up, which is great as this means it does not need to be sharpened. I purchased the colour taupe as this seemed the best match for my blonde hair and slightly darker brows. Feeling a little intimidated by a pencil (I was previously using a powder) I pressed lightly onto my brow and begun small strokes. There was nothing. Not a thing. I pressed harder, and harder still and the product just would not dispense onto the brow. I checked for a plastic film, and I pressed hard onto my hand. Although it is the right shade for my brows, there is a huge lack of pigmentation in this product. Even if I pressed hard to get some colour from the pencil, I would be unable to complete short, natural strokes to avoid block shading.

I was very disappointed in this product and certainly prefer the E.L.F brow kit or Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow.

Tips: The Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow is a great product to look into.

So strange, maybe you can change the colour to find one that suits you better? I loved this product, but I do agree that ELF do a great brow kit too!

That's so weird that it had no pigmentation for you! I have this in dark brown and it is perfect - I wonder if the lighter shades are less pigmented?

Wow... I had high hopes for this! I was considering buying it in Taupe too!! It's sometimes tricky finding brow products that are light enough for blondes but still have decent pigmentation.

Yes, its worth the hype

The anastasia Brow wiz pencil, no doubt you have heard about it, wether you like doing your eye brows or not, this seemed to be a product that everyone talked about or recommended. And since its release, i feel like many other companies have made similar product, but seeing as this was the first product like this, i do consider this brand to be innovative.

This eyebrow pencil comes in a range of different colours, so that even those with the lightest to the darkest eyebrows should be able to find a match. I have black hair, so black eyebrows and i chose ebony i believe for my colour, which is a great match.

The packaging of this product is so classy. It features a slim plastic circular casing which is black in color, and features the brand and words in a bronze colour. Really classy. One end of the packaging features a sturdy spoolie, and the other end feature the product. Both the spoolie end, and the product end has a lid so both ends are kept clean and secure. Another benefit of this packaging is the pencil is retractable, which means no sharpening and no wastage.

The pencil itself its really thin, and firm so you can create small subtle strokes, and control the pencil easily. Plus it blends out so naturally after using the spoolie.

As for price, i find this one of the most affordable brow products available, costing around $25 from beauty bay.com.

I really like using this pencil. I'm no pro at doing my eyebrows but this pencil makes it easy to create a good brow. Really recommend this product

Brow wow!!

I am a big fan of Anastasia Beverly Hills brow product including Brow Wiz! I use this a lot when I have 5 minutes or less to dress my face. The packaging is amazing, it's slim and pretty sturdy, the spoolie on the other end is so handy. I use the spoolie to even out the product to achieve natural brow look. It's super easy to use. If the product appears too dark on your brows, use the spoolie to fade the color. Definitely one of my must haves brow products!

Tips: For more defined brows, apply concealer underneath your brows using flat tip brush. Finish it off by applying clear brow gel to tame unruly brows.

Eyebrows on fleek

I have gone through a lot of eyebrow powders, pencils etc. I picked this up at the first opportunity I got as I heard it was very good. It does an awesome job, I loved using it. I'm sure there are products out there that could do a similar job, especially being in NZ it's harder to get your hands on products like these. I'd go for a cheaper one next time.

ABH brow whiz

I got this as part of my makeup swap it was my request bc the price here is arrrgh.

It comes in a box with gold detailed writing. The pencil itself is a retractable dual ended pencil with lids on both ends. A spooley at one end & the retractable pencil the other end. The pencil has gold embossed writing on the exterior. Contents a dual ended pencil as stated with lids a spooled to one end & a thin retractable 0encil the other end. The spooley is very nice to use not soft it's coarse & define. The pencil is very fine&thin; & very pigmented. Effects: The spooley defines the bird hairs& brushes them out adequately to be able to in with product afterward. It gets the hairs going th direction they should be going. The pencil is so so thin yet pigmented & it's soft to the skin it feels weightless & undetected however it's apparent once looking at your brows. It's good to fill in aswell as to give the brows definition & the outlines for guidance of brow fleek. It doesn't seem to be waxy however I haven't swatched it the brows don't seem to feel tacky or waxy. I like this product & would need to perfect use of it. Its my third brow pencil & what I can tell which is beneficial from ABH is the spooley, the thin pencil & the lightweight texture of the product. Yet it's pigmented colour.

Tips: Go in after use with a spooley then a pomade lastly a brow gel to set the brow fleekness

Love at first use

There is absolute good cause as to why this pencil is so highly raved about. I don't know why it's so much better than just normal pencils but it really is.

I bought this from Beautylish, ages ago actually. I had an ELF pencil that just kept going and going. I've been eagerly waiting to use this one so I wa very glad when I finally used up my other one.

The packaging is pretty standard for an eyebrow pencil. It is long and thin and has a cap on each end. One side is the spoolie and one side is the pencil. I love the spoolie, I kind of thought that a spoolie is a spoolie but this one easily brushes out your brow hairs plus blends out well too without feeling scratchy. I have the shade dark brown and it's a perfect shade match for me. Nice and dark but not too dark and a good cool tone. The pencil on this is retractable so you don't have to worry about sharpening and because the tip is so thin, it kind of stays in a point anyway. I find this easily fills in my brows and just keeps them looking so good. It must be some combination of a good formula and a thin tip that makes my brows look way better than usual. I really dont know but it works and I'm loving it. I find the colour lasts all day although I do set it with brow gel too.

I can't really think of anything bad about this. Maybe my tiniest gripe would be that I wish one of the caps was clear. I always end up opening the side that I don't want first. This is a bit more expensive also but I don't think it's totally unreasonable.

I'll definitely buy this again, I have the billion dollar pencil to use after this which I also enjoy but I think the Anastasia is the winner for me.

My #1 product

I am surprised to see some bad reviews, but I guess it goes to show how different we all are. I absolutely LOVED and still love this product, it gave me amazing brows with such a beautiful natural shade that everyone was wondering how I made my eyebrows so beautiful... they were unsure if I had pencilled it or I just naturally had beautiful eyebrows (of course its my best kept secret). I would definitely buy this again, because it doesn't show the very evident line like most other eyebrow pencils do, you just apply a very soft touch where you need it, and use the brush to blend it in for a natural look.

Tips: You really do not need to press hard with this pencil, the lighter the better, don't push hard! and use the brush on the other end to brush/blend it in.

Perfect, perfect, perfect.

I love this brow pencil. I have the shade medium ash and I just keep repurchasing it. It's the perfect cool tone for my hair! I love the small, fine tip for precision work. I love how it's retractable (no sharpening required) and how it has a super fine brush on the end for combing the brows. This product is great!

Tips: Use a brow gel to set your hairs down as this wont tame those babies.
