MAYBELLINEExpress Brow 2-In-1 Pencil and Powder Eyebrow Makeup, Deep Brown, 1 Count

I bought this for my mom who has super light blonde hair it is sooo hard to see them. One end of the makeup stick is an brow shadow on a built in smudger, the other side is the pencil. Both ends work great in different ways. the shadow goes on first and then the pencil is sllighty darker so its ideal to draw and shape the eyebrow then fill in with the shadow, However, while its intended to be used together, you can use either end of the stick by itself as well.

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

The tone is accurate and complements the product well. Although its longevity could be improved, it is more than good enough for daily use.

I dont draw on a full brow, I just have thinning on the side of each, and this is the only pencil, and I've tried many, that blends what I have with what I need without making either stand out. The color matches perfectly, the sponge lets you blend it just right and then it lasts all day. Even with some sweating. It will come off if you wipe sweat from you brow a lot, but, just a little to normal amount, it stays on just fine.

I like the color but it breaks way too easy. I barely have to press down on it, so I’m not sure if I’m going to buy another one. I’ll have to think about it. The color is nice.

Perfect for not looking too made up, but giving color to aged brows that have either faded away in color or turned to gray. A nice natural look that doesn't give you a make up look, but more a look of just looking better.

I love this product! The only one I will use!

Very good, highly recommend

Good bang for your buck!

It's a bit wobbly, unsteady but the best part is the sponge on the other end.

I’ve been using this product for over 8 years and it’s always done a good job. Holds up well and shades in your eyebrows perfectly. For thinner areas the pencil end is nice to do smaller filling.

works great, the color is perfect for me! Draw the lines with one end and fill in with the other end.

Can’t use it. Too dark. Like dark brown.
