Maybelline Express Brow 2-In-1 Pencil and Powder Eyebrow Makeup, Soft Brown, 1 Count

This makes a very natural looking eyebrow. I’ve used skinny pencils that make hairlike strokes (tedious), paint on gel applications, and anything else I could find to create natural looking eyebrows where mine had thinned and faded. This pencil/crayon works perfectly and stays on all day. I use the light blonde as my hair is white/grey. I recommend!

I have one each in Blonde, Medium Brown, and Deep Brown. On one end is a tapered foam powder applicator which lays down powder in a not very thin line. The powder goes on smoothly and fills in a lot of space quickly. The other end is a pencil that is not sharpenable -- you turn the applicator to move it forward. I use the pencil after laying down the powder (which is opposite of what the instructions say), since the pencil tip is small and great for filling in lighter spots and for shaping around the edges. I find that using the pencil first takes more time.I use these not just as eyebrow pencils but also as eyeliners, both right over the top lashes and right under the lower lashes. They are the best eyeliners I've ever used, especially the powder end, which goes on super smoothly. Both the Blonde and the Deep Brown are great brown colors -- neither have that reddish cast that so many brown eyeliners have. The Medium Brown is a little reddish when I apply it to my brow, so I don't use it there. However, around my eyes the red cast of the Medium Brown is neutralized for some magical reason and it makes a good medium brown eyeliner.With both the Blonde and the Medium Brown the pencil end doesn't go on the eyelid tissue easily -- there has to be some tugging to get the color on. However, the pencil end of the Deep Brown goes on very smoothly. Again, I use the powder end of the Deep Brown first (which as an eyeshadow is not that dark), then go over the outside corners with the pencil end for more depth. I use the Deep Brown more for evening wear, and the other two colors for daytime.I'm a 67 year old woman who doesn't like to spend a lot of time doing makeup, and for a long time I looked for a good basic brown eyeliner that doesn't cost over $10 (I'm not willing to spend more). All those I tried had issues of one sort or another -- one being too much red in the color, and another being that my older skin is easily irritated, so that I'd have red itchy eyes from various products. I've had no reaction when using these eyebrow duos, so for me they are hypo-allergenic. Also, the price is so reasonable, as these pencils last a good long while. Maybelline, please don't stop making these; they are my absolute favorite makeup product ever

I have bought this item several times so I definitely like it. This particular time the stick felt a little drier. Also, as a blonde I prefer the soft brown and have already placed an order for another one.

A++++

Very thin, hard pencil, is not working for me

Great eyebrow filler one side angled tip for easy application goes on smoothly does not smudgeOther side is a blender cushion tip for blending and softeningColor is a perfect blond color that is visible on medium skin tones

Easy to use and lasts all day. Bought several more!

First- when the package says 2 in 1 on this item it is referring to a single pencil with 2 ends - one end has the pencil and the other has a retractable sponge with powder. Looks like quite a few buyers didn’t understand this.I have been using this for years. They don’t offer this in stores anymore so I buy it on Amazon. I have dark brown hair and the deep brown is perfect. I mainly use the powder side and then use a brow brush to blend with my actual brows. It highlights my eyes without liner. Looks natural. Good product and delivered quickly.
