The eyebrow pencil that I use and love is the Mary Kay Brow Definer Pencil in Brunette. I have found that you can order Mary Kay products on AMAZON.COM without dealing with those pushy sales ladies. This eyebrow pencil is only $10 and it has lasted me a very very long time. In fact, I am too embarrassed to tell you how long I have had it. I also know there are some great powders for eyebrows too. I have never used any of them but I have heard great things. If you are scared of trying a pencil maybe a brow shadow would be the way to go for you.
The trick to penciling eyebrows is to use a light hand with lots of soft small strokes verses one hard fast line. You have to use the pencil as if you are trying to color on the hairs rather than on the skin. When you are applying it at first you may feel as though you are not doing anything but you will soon see that you are.When I apply my eyebrow pencil, if I am up close in the mirror I have a hard time seeing if I am actually doing anything. I like to apply it a foot or two away from the mirror because I can see my eyebrows getting darker. Once I get them looking the way I want them, I look close in the mirror to make sure there are no dark lines. If there is, I smudge them a little with my fingers and they’re ready!
