When I didn’t know about eyebrow gels yet, I decided to find my perfect eyebrow pencil.
One time I realized that you can buy whatever pencil you want, be it expensive or cheap, all of them will give an orange-y color to your brows! So I decided to find an eye pencil in the coldest shade. I found it, but it turned out to be too blue for my brows but perfect for my eyes.
One day I came across Rimmel eyebrow pencil and after testing it on my hand, I thought that it was the one.

I use the built-in brush quite often even if I don’t fill my brows out. The problem is that I have quite long and thick eyebrows. So I have to either fix them properly or groom them all the time. Moreover, I have to wash the brush after grooming, because my skin is dry and some skin particles and foundation stays in the bristles sometimes.
I bought this pencil last year, but it looks like it’s 10 years old! I mean that all the writing on the stickers is almost gone and the pencil doesn’t look presentable anymore. I wouldn’t get attracted to this product if it was not for its consistency and performance.
I have my pencil in 004 Black Brown shade. My eyebrows stand out against my skin tone and dark eyes. Therefore, I do not need a very dark pencil.
P.S Currently modern girls define their eyebrows too much. However, the trend tends to natural-looking eyebrows, so don’t make your brows look ridiculous, please.
I can’t stand many stickers on thin pencils, as taking them off, you get a tacky trace which sticks all the dirt of the world. That’s the case with my Rimmel pencil. Besides, the writing has faded over time.
♥●♦ EASY BREEZY ♦●♥
The pencil is very soft, but it ensures a precise application. It’s easy to sharpen the pencil. However, I’ve read some reviews that say that it’s not. In such a case, I advise you to put your pencil in a refrigerator to provide a better sharpening.
I use a common sharpener for that purpose.
♥●♦ APPLICATION ♦●♥
The Rimmel pencil draws sharp lines, but it won't scratch your skin even if you apply it with harsh strokes. It could be patchy a little bit, but it blends out effortlessly.
♥●♦ REMOVAL ♦●♥
It’s better to use some special makeup removers or micellar water for the purpose.
♥●♦ HOW I USE IT ♦●♥
I use it as a regular eyebrow pencil, plus I fill in the sparse areas at the beginning of the brows just a little.

In the second picture my brow is shaped and defined after I’ve blended the color out and groomed the hairs.
Conclusion:
Keep in mind that natural-looking eyebrows are a way better than sharply defined!
Hope my review was helpful!
