Sephora Retractable Brow Pencil

Get perfect eyebrows on a budget with Sephora’s Retractable Brow Pencil. This collection of long-wear brow pencils come with a wingtip comb on the other end to allow brushing and blending for a more natural look. Sephora currently offers 4 colours: 01 Honey Blonde, 02 Nutmeg Brown, 03 Rich Chestnut, and 04 Midnight Brown.

These retractable brow pencils create fuller looking eyebrows and allow maximum control over creating precise hair-like strokes. To use the product, twist the pencil and use the sharp tip to perfectly define your brows.

Some pros and cons:

Pros
  • Creates fuller looking, yet very naturally-define eyebrows
  • Comes in a variety of different shades; perfect for all hair colours
  • Added wingtip comb; perfect for combing and blending afterwards
  • Waterproof, therefore will not smudge
  • No need to constantly sharpen your pencil
  • Currently selling for $15 CDN (it may be pricey compared to drug-store brands; however, it’s a perfect replicate of some higher end brow pencils offered by MAC or Anastasia Beverly Hills
Cons
  • Relatively less product compared to other brow pencils that can be sharpened  
  • Because of the softness of the formula, you have to be careful while twisting as the tip is more prone to breaking off
  • Some people might find $15 CDN a bit pricey for a brow pencil
Overall, I find this brow pencil precisely defines my brows without making them look too unnatural. The colour Midnight Brown is perfect for dark brown to black brows. The product further has a very strong staying power.
