Directions

Product Description:
Sharpen medium/hard brow pencil for even application that meets high blendability. Perfect for filling sparse areas and for defining the shape of your brow. The full yet soft and buildable texture and its long-lasting and water-resistant formula make this product one of the most beloved eyebrow products.

How To Use:
Brush through brows with the built-in spoolie. Draw small strokes filling any sparse area following the natural shape of your brow. For a groomed and softer effect, set your brows with the transparent volumizing fixer.

Expert Tips:
Its special texture lets you build the desired intensity of colour. For those who love defined brows, we recommend using the "tip" to draw fuller and more precise strokes.
