As you probably know my eyebrows are very pale, and I have tried so many methods to fill them in. I have used powders, gels, eyelines, but that is for another post. Today I am going to tell you about eye brow pencils. My first problem with pencils is getting the right color. Most brands have the light, medium and dark typical shades. But when you think about it you want more of a choice. You would want your brows to be either 2 shades lighter or darker than your hair color. And that makes a heck of a lot of shades. So finding the right one is really difficult. Personally I have only used pencils from No7, I have got two shades "Dark Brown/Black and Blonde". Neither of which are perfect. They both have orangey tints to them. When I put them on properly my brows look really ginger, which is fine if that is what you are after but when you buy a pencil named "Dark Brown/Black" you don't want orange.
My next problem is the texture of the pencil. Some pencils are very hard and waxy so you end up having to press very hard onto the brow to get any color. Then you get a very drawn in look that looks very fake. Some pencils are very soft and end up melting onto your face so then you get some sexy droopy looking brows. So it is so so difficult to find the right kind of pencil.
So that is my little rant about brow pencils, if you have found one that works for you please comment below as I would love to check it out. For me now I just dye my brows regularly. I find it so difficult when shading in brows to get them exactly right and exactly the same, so if I am just dying them then I can get the most natural look.
Thank you, see you soon.
