This is great and affordable product. My love for Essence is endless and I love working with this brow pencil, it's great that it has a spoolie as well! My only problem is that the 02 brown pencil that I purchased has a red tint to the brown, which I don't like because it doesn't match my blonde hair at all. I got their eyebrow stylist set instead, the lighter one, and that matches my hair perfectly. Still a great product that gives a structured look to your brows, maybe I'll just go pick up a different shade!
