"Normal" eyebrow pencil needed - blondish tone

12 replies

NormalEyebrowPencil · 13/03/2026 09:07

I went looking for a replacement eyebrow pencil the other day and was baffled by the choices - they were either gels, pens, teeny pencil tips that snapped and 90% of them didn't have any tester and were all boxed up.

Can anyone recommend an actual pencil for blondeish/dark blonde hair (or v light taupish brown)?

I had a fantastic one from Lord and Berry that had a swirl of tones in it - a goldeny sort of light brown - but they've discontinued it and only have 'ash' colour which is actually grey like a writing pencil. I'm not impressed at all.

It needs to be one you can sharpen and good quality. If there's likely to be a tester in a shop I can look at, then all the better!

I'm using the NYX one at. It's OK, like a powder and it needs sharpening.

I use a Benefit one. It’s called ‘Precisely, my brow pencil’. I use number 4. I’m blonde. It’s really good

I se the Victoria Beckham one, can’t remember the name but it’s the lightest shade. It’s not a sharpening one but I’ve not had any breakage with it.

I use a Loreal one. I order from Amazon to get the wider tip version.

Hourglass Arch brow sculpting pencil in blonde was good. Plenty of colours but is a twisty one rather than a sharpener. It’s eye wateringly expensive too.

foe the past few years I’ve used this in ‘light’ perfect blonde shade and £4

This is my go to as it’s really easy to use and is a good colour on my pale skin with my light blonde hair

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?

I really rate the Elf one, long lasting and doesn’t budge.

I use Benefit in shade 01 (I'm blonde and this is a mid cool blonde). I like Goof Proof and also Gimme Brow. If you want a pencil you can sharpen, you'll probably prefer the Gimme Brow as it's a pencil.

Thanks - I can only see 3 e.l.f. ones and none of them are ones you can sharpen so just checking I haven't missed one?

Thanks everyone else - will have a look!

If you use a 'precision point' one (twist up skinny one) do you find you break it a lot?

Nyx in Taupe. Normal pencil style. Always come back to this one. I‘m a natural blonde, fair with blue eyes.

I spent £££ on a Charlotte Tilbury one which I swear is ripping out my remaining eyebrows.
