I prefer using brow pencils to powder products as my brows are already quite full with a natural arch, and with only some sparseness in at the front at the inner most parts of my brows.

Before I used this product, I was using the Essence Eyebrow Designer in Dark Brown. I found the Essence pencil to be much too soft, lending itself to heavier strokes that looked too dark and unnatural. I prefer a harder pencil, and the Catrice Eyebrow Stylist is a happy medium between the two products. It is not too hard so as to become uncomfortable to use, it suits the colour of my brows very well, and the product itself lasts very long. I particularly like the round, wand-like brush to tame those unruly hairs. I'll definitely be repurchasing this.

I've only gotten into brow products in the last year or two, and this pencil has been the least favourite of anything I've tried for my brows. The pencil is quite hard, and not overly pigmented (and I got the darker shade too), it doesn't match my brow colour well at all, and just doesn't really seem to make much difference.

Perhaps I bought a dud one? But I don't fancy using something so hard, as it tugs my skin so much. I've been using a difference branded one now, and it does a much better job, and I set it with the Essence brow gel, which is fantastic.
