BDB Brow Pencil

This comes in a neat white box which I feel is a bonus as you don't feel everyone has fingered it prior to you purchasing.Enclosed is a pencil a bristle brush on one end and a creamy brown pencil on the other end.Both ends have lids. A small twist and the pencil is ready to use. The colour looks unusual however when you use it it blends with your natural colour.You can use the same pencil if you are brunette or red or blond and the colour adjusts to your natural shade which is like magic.

It is easy to use as you just drawn a line and then blend with the brush for a really natural look. At $33 it seems really expensive however I have been using every day for 6 weeks and it appears it will last a long time so the cost is not a major factor. I recieved this is March B Box and would definately look at purchasing when I have used this up.

Tips: Use lightly to start and add more until you are happy with the result.

Best Brows

I had never used a brow pencil before and I was impressed. I have very fair brows so i thought this pencil would be too dark but really liked it and was easy to blend and apply.

Liked the asthetic of the pencil and was a nice silm design.

This pencil has become a must beauty product of mine

Tips: I found if i moisturized and primed my face first it applied smoothly and more evenly

BDB

I received this in the March beauty box - I've never used a BDB product before this one so that was exciting!

I can't say I'm a fan of using a pencil on my eye brows but I can see how pepole would love it - it's very defining and fills in areas really well, I just personally prefer to use a powder. The pencil is easy to use, feels soft and lasts all day.

I did however really enjoy using the brush on the other end - a couple times over my brows does the trick. It does feel a tiny bit harsh but I like that as it allows me to feel the brush going through my brows and it feels like it's doing its job (hope that makes sense!!).

I love the packaging too - it's thin, looks chic and makes it easy to use and doesn't take up any space at all in the makeup bag.

billion dollar feeling

Well I like many other lucky ladies received this little gem in the March BRBB. I have never used an eyebrow pencil because really I didn't think I needed one. Boy I was wrong.

Ok so tell me I wasn't the only one that opened the box took it out opened it up saw the mid brown colour and gone "darn that's not my colour, that won't work on me" only to realise if I had read the box properly the first time I would have realised it is suitable for any colour type. I still read this and thought how could it work I was so sure having dark eyebrows the light brown would be noticeable. Well it's not I don't know how it works all I know is it works and I suddenly have fuller looking brows. I hate my brows they have no shape and I have to wax and pluck them very carefully to get a bit of a curve going on.

So I found this really really easy to use after the first time I used it. Just use little strokes on your eyebrows, you just want to fill in the hairs you aren't actually painting on your eyebrows. I find the product beautiful and creamy and blends very easily with the bristled brush at the other end of the pencil. Both ends have lids which is great to keep everything in good condition. The pencil is twist top so you don't even need to sharpen the pencil!! Great great product that I love and enjoy using.

Not my HG

I had been lusting after this brow pencil so when it arrived in the BRBB I was beyond stoked. The brow pencil I had been using was running low and I had been wondering which product to try.

The staying power is awesome! I have sparse brows so I love the fact that the product doesn't budge once you've drawn on your brows. The colour, as they say, is pretty universal. I'm blonde and find it a pretty good colour match when applied lightly, and also very natural looking.

It's super convenient in a retractable tube with a spooly on the end. The lid on the pencil clicks on securely, but the lid on the spooly does not, it comes off quite easily so is not ideal for travel.

The issue I have with this pencil is because you can't sharpen it, it becomes blunt quite quickly, and it just doesn't have a fine enough tip for a precise application once this happens. This won't be an issue if you already have brows and are just using the pencil to fill them in/tidy them up, but for those of us needing to draw the entire brow on, a thicker blunt pencil just doesn't cut the mustard. I'm continuously having to go in with a cotton bud and clean up the edges.

I sadly will not be repurchasing for this reason and am still on the hunt for my HG brow product!

Great for everyday use!

I have used this eyebrow pencil almost everyday since receiving it in the latest BR Beauty box! I first use the little eyebrow brush on the end to get my brows nicely manicured and ready to fill. Then I use the pencil end to fill in where my brows are a bit lacking. While this says it is a universal brow pencil I'm not entirely sure how it would look on a fairer haired eyebrow but for my brunette brows its the perfect shade. I really like that it doesn't need to be sharpened and the fact that it twists up as and when it wears down. The packaging is really nice and the staying power of the pencil is great I have to remove it with makeup remover at the end of the day. This eyebrow pencil is definitely a winner!

Great everyday brows!

I got this pencil in the March BRBB, and I find it perfect for everyday use. The pencil comes in a wind up tube which is great, although its not very fine so you don't get super defined lines but it's perfect for a natural look. It also has a spoolie on the end which I use to tidy my brows before filling them in and also afterward to distribute the product.

I was a bit sceptical about the colour being 'universal' but it did work well for me, not sure if it would work so well if you had light brows though. The formula of this product is great, it applies easily and lasts all day. It doesn't smudge at all and I would use make up remover to get it off.

Universal brow wonder

This was included in the March beauty box and I was skeptical to begin with having never used eyebrow products before. Once a friend taught me how to actually use it, I used it every day.

This is nicely pigmented wax that blends easily and holds errant hairs without looking too fake. The built in brush is a nice size without being too unweildly since its on the other end of the pencil.

Tips: Start out small, it's always easier to add more than start again from scratch.

Good product but other options are good too

I never understood the hype behind the ABH brow wiz so when I saw the BDB pencil in the March BRBB I was excited that I would get to try something similar. I’m a regular user of the angled brush and cream eye liner / eye shadow powder for my eyebrows so it was quite different to take a pencil to my brows.

I did find it tricky to use in the first week and that’s purely because I was still getting use to it. Just like any angled brush the pencil fits nicely between my fingers so I have the control that I need to define my brows. The colour is my perfect shade and blends nicely with my skintone (reference MAC NC42-44 or Revlon Nearly Naked in Toast). Funnily enough I had no idea it was the only shade but I love the fact that it takes the guess work out of colour matching.

I haven’t had any issue with the pencil not being sharp because I tend to use it at an angle and therefore there’s always a point however I’m not too sure I agree with the claim that “it always stays sharp”. If you use it on it’s point then it will not remain sharp unless you start using it at an angle. If I make a mistake I can easily remove it with a swipe of a finger or sheer it out using the spoolie on the end.

With everyday use the BDB pencil lasted me 2 months so in terms of money; that’s approximately $15+ a month for my brows and that’s expensive to maintain. Prior to that, I had been using my elf cream liner for 4 months with barely a dent and that only cost me $5. It’s not a fair comparison because they’re different types of products but it’s just to highlight that you can still use other products to get the job done at a cheaper cost.

I would recommend this in conjunction to what you're already using. I’ve already repurchased 2 BDB pencils to use in between my elf cream liner.

Tips: Use the pencil on an angle to help define your brows; that way you won't have the issue with the pencil not being as sharp as you would like it.
