Brow pencils abound today. I have tried an eye-raising amount of these- pencils, twist-up pencils, pomades,felt tip, temporary tattoo style, powders- and the best ones have been soft, creamy, and retractable pencils like this L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Xpert in 108 Warm Brunette.
The triangular tip is both precise and chunky in one- you can sharpen your arches but also glide over brow for fullness and colour.
The gray and brown plastic casing is sleek and serious, and features a decent length spoolie at the end (about 3mm length bristles).
As a medium brunette, I found this long-lasting shade to be redder than I would usually use but this gave my brows some warmth, and I like this.
There is no apparent smell to this affordable ($22.99 rrp) product and I doubt that this would alter much over time, due to lid. It did not irritate my skin at all.
There is about 3cm of pencil and this could last me about a year, as only a small amount is needed for each application.
I feel very on the fence about this brow pencil. Firstly I really like the style of the pencil - the angled shape makes it really easy to fill in your brows precisely. The spooly on the end of the pencil is really handy to have as brushing through your brows after applying product is essential for me.
I did find that the colour of this pencil was a bit off. For a brunette shade I expected it to be slightly more neutral/cool, but it was a very warm colour that was almost orange. It didn't suit my brows at all and it looked very unnatural.
Lastly the thing that would make me not use this pencil again is that the product kind of pills up on my brows, and leaves little particles of colour in random places. I think the formula is slightly too soft so it comes off very easily when you use it. I think this has to be used with a very light hand to avoid the weird pilling that I got.
I will definitely be using this product again, but I think you should test the shade range in store since the brunette colour was very orange.
Tips: Use a light hand and make sure to brush through your brows to avoid pilling.
