Maybelline Express Brow Shaping Pencil - Deep Brown

While the formula is enriched with coconut oil, individual reactions can vary. We recommend performing a patch test on a small area of skin before full application if you have sensitive skin.

Use a standard cosmetic pencil sharpener. Twist the pencil gently until you achieve your desired point. If the pencil is soft, chilling it in the refrigerator for a few minutes can make sharpening easier.

Yes, absolutely. The blendable formula and included soft brush are designed specifically for creating a natural finish. Use light, feathery strokes and blend thoroughly for a soft, diffused effect.

The formula is designed for 24-hour hold, resisting smudging under normal conditions. For best results, avoid touching your brows excessively after application.

The Shaping Pencil is a traditional sharpenable pencil, offering a classic wax-based feel and requiring a sharpener for a fine tip. An automatic brow pencil typically has a twist-up mechanism and does not require sharpening, often having a finer, pre-set tip.

The Deep Brown shade is formulated for dark brown hair, but it can also work well for individuals with black hair looking for a slightly softer, less intense brow look compared to a true black pencil.

Info needed: This can vary significantly based on frequency of use and amount of product applied. Typically, a brow pencil used daily might last anywhere from 1 to 3 months.

Ensure the tip is not too long before application. When sharpening, use a quality cosmetic sharpener and turn the pencil gently. If the pencil is too soft, place it in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes before sharpening to firm up the lead.

Use lighter, short, hair-like strokes instead of heavy pressure. After applying, use the soft brush end to thoroughly blend and diffuse the color, softening any harsh lines and distributing the pigment more evenly.

Ensure your skin is clean and dry before application. Avoid applying heavy skincare products or oils directly on your brow area beforehand. For extra longevity in humid conditions, consider setting your brows with a clear brow gel after applying the pencil.
