Maybelline TattooStudio Waterproof Eyebrow Pencil, Sharpenable, Longwear, Long Lasting, Pigmented Eyebrow Pencil for Defined Brows, Black Brown, 1 Count

i have never left a review for a product before. i have too much pride. but i applied this before taking a three-hour surfing lesson in which i was pummeled over and over and over again and fared just about as well as the six-year-old in the class, and i was almost 100% certain i had lost half of my eyebrows. but... i had, in fact, all of my eyebrows left. good product. take it from me.

I love this eyebrow pencil and the color is really nice and stays on for a long time. I like the texture of the product as well. I would say the only downside is it can be hard to sharpen and seems to run out quickly.

I liked how well this wore throughout the day. It doesn't flake off. Definitely a creamy product that brushes well through eyebrows if you're looking for a more natural look. My biggest complaints was how very difficult it was to actually sharpen this pencil; it's made out of plastic and was SO tough and once the stick got short enough, I couldn't even sharpen it anymore due to being unable to grip it hard enough to twist which means wasted product. No good. I also found the makeup itself was so soft/creamy that I ended up wasting product just because it fell out of the stick while sharpening, or it pulled off in chunks as I applied it. So, doesn't feel like I got the full use of it.

Although I was very happy with both the color (dark brown) and how easy it was to use, the pencil wouldn't advance, and I was only able to use twice. Maybelline has always made a good product, I wonder if this one was simply defective in the manufacturing.

I love this waterproof eyebrow pencil. I have gone through many different brands and this is the only one I will ever use again. Once applied, it stays on through sweating, rain, and just overall activity throughout a busy day.

I don’t know if I got a hold of a bad one of these or what. It seems to have good reviews. I love that the color stays on even overnight. But it seems like every time I use it I have to sharpen it. The pencil is too soft. Now it’s down to where I have to use my husband‘s pliers to sharpen it. Would love to order another one, but don’t like that. It doesn’t last longer. Also, the color is darker than I thought. I ordered blonde thinking it would be light. It’s more of a brown.

These pencils are great but I have to say that the consistency is not the same on all of the colors, at least on the five colors that I tried. Thank goodness for Amazon's return policy, like the good old drugstore days but much easier :-) as far as the shades go, I tried three blond Shades and I returned two of them. This information will help you if you are trying to choose which of the three blonde shades! The light blonde is the one that I kept, it isn't so much lighter than the others but it is an ash blond, very natural-looking. That pencil is nice and hard and draws very tiny hairs oh, I like it. Very smear proof and waterproof, as all of the colors that I tried were. I did return the blond color, it was a horrible shade of yellow, almost like tobacco juice in an old guy's beard. Sorry that's the first thing I thought of though. If that matches your hair, you need a purple toner :-) I did also return dark blonde, that shade is red. It's not bad, it's just red. Definitely not for an ash blond. Of these three colors, the light blond and dark blond were hard in consistency, making it easy to draw fine natural looking hairs. But the blonde was a smeary mess. A smeary yellow mess in my opinion. I also tried the ash brown, for a darker tone Oh, and I really like it. It is Ash Brown, very hard consistency draws nice natural looking hairs. I also tried taupe oh, and I kept that one too it was a nice in between the ash brown and the light blond, I consider it a natural ashy tone. In the picture the column to the right with five horizontal lines, is this product, top to bottom, Ash Brown, taupe, light blond, blond, and dark blond. Ignore the two next to them, to the left, unless you are interested, that is Maybelline Tattoo Studio the other long-wearing smear proof waterproof eyebrow pencil that I tried. Also very good but much softer consistency if you want to shape your brows a little bit with it almost like a Pomade pencil. They are lined up with the same name pencil in the L'Oreal, the top one of those two being light blond, the bottom of the two being blond. I like them both, nice natural color. Also long-wearing smear proof and waterproof from what I can tell. I would really like to be a beauty product reviewer if anyone is interested :-) thank you :-)

MAJOR sharpening issues!!Product needs to go back to the drawing board. Bay Maybelline!! Good thing its cost is minimal but shame on Maybelline!
