L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Xpert Review

Brows are the bane of my existence - mine are sparse and light, so rushing my brows isn't an option if I want them to look remotely natural.When I saw the creamy looking pencil I was immediately pessimistic - it looked like it would be a fairly heavy looking product on, which I couldn't hope to get looking natural with my brows.

I couldn't have been more wrong! It was so easy to apply with a light hand in short strokes - it looked soft and natural, and was easy to blend with the attached brush when necessary. Towards the points of my brows, using a slightly heavier hand for a stronger finish also worked perfectly and still looked great.

The longevity was good, too - it lasted all day, with only a small amount of general wear.

Personally, the triangle pencil struck me as a bit gimmicky - while it did allow for a little more control and find definition initially, the pencil tip quickly molds itself to a more generally rounded shape once you start to actually use it.

Overall, I'm so impressed by how much quicker this made doing my brows, and will definitely continue using it going forward.

I got this in the shade Ebony. My eyebrows are dark brown, but many eyebrow pencils are too orange-toned. I prefer grey-browns, and while the lid of this looks more orange, I was pleasantly surprised by how cool-toned it was and how much it matches my brows.

I love that I don't have to sharpen it and can simply twist up. The teardrop shaped tip is great for creating short shart strokes.

However, I found that the brush on the other end was a little short for my liking. I made do, but it was the only down-side of this pencil.

I usually use just a gel, but with not getting a brow tint/shape appointment for a while, I had to get creative, You don't have to be too talented with brows to use this, using the pencil end to fill gaps and get some shape, and then the spooly to soften the look. I've always found pencils make me look like I tried to hard, and feel like my brows stand out... This pencil my brows look very natural, and less made up - but nice definition. When I do have a tint/shape the pencil is still good for adding a little drama if I need it. It's a good price for what it delivers!

L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Xpert in 'Warm Brunette' is a rich chocolate brown.  I thought that this colour may have been too light for my naturally dark (almost black) eyebrows, but after it had been applied and blended, it looked really natural.

The applicator tube is cylindrical in appearance, with a spoolie shaped styling brush on one end (for shaping and blending) and the eyebrow pencil on the other side.  Once the coloured cap is removed, it reveals a triangular shaped tube end, with a triangular shaped mechanical eyebrow pencil.  I'm not sure why they made this pencil triangular shaped, as after the first use the triangle ended up with a soft round point, and every use after that was basically a soft round tip with a sharp unused triangle base underneath.  An expensive marketing gimmick, if you ask me, as I'm basically now applying a rounded pencil to my brows each time I use it.

Anyway, triangles and rounded tips aside, this wind-up pencil is really easy to use, it blends beautifully and looks extremely natural.  I'll definitely be purchasing another one when this one runs out.

It’s a soft but sturdy pencil that glides very easily and feels more like a crayon than a pencil. Took me 2-3 tries before I get the hang of it - applying it with a lighter hand produces better results.

The brush on the other end is a thoughtful addition. It means I don’t need to hunt for a brush, especially when I’m in a rush to get out of the door. The brush is not too hard and not too soft either. Just right!

The colour I get (109 Ebony) is a deep dark brown that matches my black hair and my fair skin perfectly. I really like the colour, as I find black is too full on for me and most browns I’ve tried have too much red on it.

The only reason I’m giving less mark for this product is it doesn’t last 24 hours on me. Everything seems to slowly disappear, leaving nothing much by the end of a very long day.

This is a very good eyebrow pencil, the consistency is smooth and and application is easy and it blends very well with the attached brush. The tip is triangular so that the thin side is used to create the brow shape, and the thick side of the tip is to colour in the brows. I found it just blends into one thick line for me so I would prefer a thinner tip for more precision. The longevity is great and my brows still looks good at the end of the day, and I have had no smudges after going to gym. The colour 109 Ebony is perfect for my dark brows and I don't feel the need to tint them anymore to improve my mousy brown. The the result I get from this pencil is great for the price and I would recommend this to other people because of the ease of use.

I really like this eyebrow pencil. The shade I was sent was warm brunette. It wasn't an exact match for my brows, but I liked that it was just a touch lighter. I found it added a but more depth and texture, rather than making them look drawn on and heavy.

The pencil is kind of like a crayon, a very thin crayon. It's triangular in shape, which is great for angled strokes.

I love that the spoolie end is firm - it blends and tidies the brow easily.

I found my brows still looked good at the end of the working day and removed easily with my usual supermarket cleanser.

Recommend highly.

Easy to use, good quality brow product. I love that it was the brush on the other end to help groom the brows. Such nice rich colours too.

As someone who really stuggles to get her eyebrows to look natural amd not like someone who just escaped from the circus, I was super excited to test the product.

The colour is perfect for my dark hair makes my brows look bold, shaped and well quite frankly perfect for the fiest time ever. Finally, doesn't look like a 3 year old was using my face as a colouring book.

Love the fact that there's a brush on the other end of the pencil which is retractable and tringular in shape.

The product glides on easily, the colour lasts all day and it is build-able too and waterproof!!! What more can one ask for?? I love it so much I will never buy any other brow pencil. Thank you for a great product L'oreal. Absolutely my go to from here on out.

I've had a few hit and misses with products like this, but I'm happy to report that L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Xpert is a winner. The pencil is a nice angle which makes application simple and easy.

While the colour I sampled was not spot-on with my natural colouring, it blended well and added definition, while also looking surprisingly natural. I also have a few 'glitter streaks' in my brow, and I'm pleased to say this covered up those few pesky greys perfectly. I love that it's retractable too - no damaging the end or searching for the sharpener. The brush is nice and firm and tames those wayward strays. I've used it quite a few times without the pencil too, it's always nice to have 'double duty' products. I've popped this product into my handbag to use the brush as a touch up after my daily swim too.

The product lasted all day, is relatively waterproof, but still easy to remove with your usual suspects (I use micellar water at the end of the day and it had no problem removing it).

This is definitely a product I'll be purchasing after it runs out. I've found a winner!
