How far brow makeup has come in the past couple of years. Filling in your arches is now no longer the straightforward process of just putting a pencil to them; the insane amount of variety we now enjoy when it comes to makeup means that there’s also the option of using powders, liquids and waxes to get your brows looking, as they like to say, “on fleek”.
Yet, with options, brows don’t seem to have gotten any easier to master. In fact, with more ways to draw them in, there’s actually more room for mistakes, especially with all the fancy new formulas that are difficult for a relative amateur to master. Those waxes all your favourite beauty YouTubers like to use? In an untrained hand, they could go very, very wrong indeed.
So, let us make the case for the humblest of brow tools: the brow pencil. Sure, it may not be as exciting as a fancy brow palette, but it has the one trait that might be the most important one of all: it’s easy to use.
Whether you’re an absolute brow newbie or someone who has her brow routine down pat, Revlon’s ColorStay Brow Pencil is a solid option, to perform the straightforward task of filling, defining and sculpting your arches.
In 4 shades: Blonde, Auburn, Soft Brown and Soft Black.
As you can see, it has two very important traits we need in our brow pencils: one, an angled tip that can draw in the precise lines and doesn’t require sharpening, and two, a spoolie brush on the other end to tame brow hairs, and spread the colour evenly.
With Revlon’s ColorStay Brow Pencil, your brow routine is kept straightforward and mistake-proof – as it should be.
The beauty of a brow pencil really is in how the formula will never go onto your skin too strongly, and leave you in a Crayon Shin-chan kind of situation. And with the spoolie, blending out the colour properly is just a matter of a few quick strokes.
And more importantly, this formula won’t melt off. It’s waterproof and longwearing, promising to stay on for 24 hours – because to quote a member of the NYLON team: Heaven forbid one be left browless.
Revlon ColorStay Brow Pencil, $19.90. Available at selected Watsons, Guardian, Sasa and major department stores, and lazada.sg. facebook.com/revlonsingaporeofficial
