Hard grey brown eyebrow pencil

Can anyone help me find one. My usual is discontinued years ago. I bought up several at the time and I have been trying to find a replacement.

All the ones I have tried have been too soft so gone on too dark. I'm a redhead. I don't really like all the powders etc thst are available now for the ssme reason and nost testers are out of bounds at the moment.

Any suggestions? As I am buying blind I don't really want to spend a fortune. Thank you

I have a Clinque one, with a spoolie on the other end. It's ancient but still good although I have no idea whether it's still made. Just called Eyebrown pencil with Brush, and although it says it's dark brown it's quite ashy.

Laura Mercier is pricey but the texture is lovely IMHO, not too soft, and they have a wide range of colours which might suit you. www.lauramercier.co.uk/en/eyebrows/eye-brow-pencil-prod150022.html

Fenty Beauty are hard and buildable. Very wide colour range too

NYX precision brow pencil in taupe. I hadly ever rebuy makeup items but am on my 4th or 5th, it’s amazing and foolproof. Arpund £8 in Boots.

Is the Nyx one quite hard?

@TechnoDino Came on to say the exact same thing! I always have a back up.

Kiko. I’m a red head, too. I’ve got a pale brown.

I’m not quite a redhead and I use a regular 6B pencil. Perfect consistency and good colour for me. Worth a try as at least it’s cheap.

Intriguing suggestion about the 6b! I think ds has one in his art box.

If you promise me the NYX one isn't waxy I'll give it a go. I like their things usually but had avoided this as it's not a traditional style pencil and I have been stung too many times.

I have the same colouring I use the blonde one from Colllection 2000.

It's soft and it doesn't need much and then use a spoolie brush. They are £2.79 so worth a shot?

Lots No7, the wind up ones Blonde is a very cool taupe & they do a grey as well.

Darklane · 13/01/2021 19:08

Sorry , Boots No7

I have a cupboard full of eyebrow stuff but my go to is Rimmel dark brown. It has a wood like brown look that suits my blonde. Obviously might not suit your colouring but it does stay on all day and survive a work out as long as you don’t rub it too hard.

margaritasbythesea · 13/01/2021 21:38

Thanks for your suggestions. I wish online pictures of colours could be better!

Like a pp I've tried loads but always come back to the Rimmel one, its fab.
