I remember my mom using these same pencils back in the 70's, so when I read a review in a magazine (InStyle, Allure?) that they were one of the better eyebrow pencils, I was shocked and went out I...

A good, cheap alternative. I also use Shu Uemura, Shiseido but buy this in a pinch. Recommend charcoal grey for Asians, as Velvet Black is entirely too dramatic e.g. Groucho Marx.

These eyebrow pencils are cheap and work well, i don't think i would use it as an eyeliner because it is too dry and does not "glide" on. I have to draw in my eyebrows a lot because i always...

I have been using this product for my eyebrows for years. It works great for me. It has a strong lead, so it wouldn't smear on my brows. I just use it for the ending tips of my brow. The rest I...
