Eye brow pencil recommendations please

[MiamiNaice]

I just have little gaps to fill in, I have light brown hair with fair skin.
I've so far tried and failed
Mac : looked good but broke too easy
Benefit : too soft
Both above therefore run out in a short space of time
Rimmel: light brown shade still too dark and couldn't find a lighter one

Over to you

[Ponymagic]

Oops sorry, ignore me! I got the Brow Wiz confused with Dip Brow! Perfectly self-explanatory.

[FellOutOfBedTwice]

You need this. Looks uninspiring and unlikely to be any good but as a light skinned, light brown haired person this is the best eyebrow pencil I've ever used. And it's less than £3.

Don't want to derail thread but a couple of questions re the Anastasia Brow Wiz ... I've had a look online and it seems like you apply with an angled brush. Can you really make the strokes look natural and hair-like rather than a block of colour on your skin? What's the trick?

I have sparse eyebrows at the inner end and find it really difficult to get them balanced - one has more hair than the other . Bought Benefit Gimme Brow a few weeks back but can't really get a result I'm happy with. So .... am wondering whether the Brow Wiz is worth a shot.

Thanks!

I've decided to try the soap and glory one for now as there was £3 off and then went on to spend another £40 on an eye shadow palette and bronzer

Another Anastasia Brow Wiz vote here. I've tried all sorts and this looks the most natural, easiest to apply well and long lasting.

BD Trade Secrets eyebrow pencil in Blonde. From Tesco. The perfect ash brown , very natural and texture is just right. Cheap and brilliant .

[hollinhurst84]

I think Rimmel do a blonde one

[Terramirabilis]

Sorry Dozy I live in the US so I don't know where would be best to buy from the UK.

[JimmyGreavesMoustache]

i have the loreal one in Blonde
it's not blonde - more of a flat light ash brown, no warmth, which I like.

[bingisthebest]

I gave similar sounding brows to you. I've just bougjt a soap and glory one and it's fab.

[hecallsmebunny]

I use this and find it brilliant www.amazon.co.uk/Revlon-Eye-Brow-Fill-In-Powder/dp/B0031BAPT6?tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21 - £4, lasts ages and much more effective than a pencil!

[puglife15]

No. 7 is good

[Dozyoldtwonk]

Thanks terra

Can you buy her stuff in Boots hopes & if not, where is best to buy?

[Terramirabilis]

Re brow gel Dozy, I use the Anastasia clear brow gel.

[Terramirabilis]

Thirding Anastasia Brow Wiz. I have also bookmarked this from Brett Freedman to try sometime as it looks quite good. The attraction for me is that as a strawberry blonde I have an eyebrow colour that's hard to match so maybe it would work well. Obviously you can find your own best colour option on the site.

[Dozyoldtwonk]

Forgot to say - I really do recommend the Clinique liner!

[Dozyoldtwonk]

I have just finished the Clinique fine liner in brown - really good coverage & a very fine nib but broke easily if you twist up more product than you need for one application IYSWIM.

I've just bought a MAC pencil in the shade fling & liking it so far.

Not to hijack this thread but if anyone has brow gel/setter recommendations please wing them my way.

[Youvegottobekidding]

Forgot to add, it's only £2.99 as well!

[Youvegottobekidding]

I've just bought Boot's seventeen 'Brow Sculptor' pencil for the second time - it comes in just the one colour, brown, but it's very good, you can you it as light or as dark as you wish.

[StillStayingClassySanDiego]

I second Anastasia, anything by her is brilliant for brows.

Brow Wiz
Dipbrow Pomade
Brow Definer.

I have all three plus the #12 brush and my brows look fab, my face is happy!

Not cheap products but they will last for a long time.

[miffy2]

My all time favourite (having tried and tested many) is Anastasia Brow Wiz. Not cheap but I buy on beautybay and it lasts ages.

I also like and rate maybelline Brow Satin and Soap & Glory have two, the thinner one is very similar to the Brow Wiz.
