Well hello again Mr Draft Post I’d forgotten about. I bought this eyebrow pencil back in August when I was on the hunt for a shade that would work with my blonde hair without making me look like Madonna circa 1990. I went everywhere and this was the best I found. I was hoping to strike it rich and the drugstore but unfortunately it wasn’t meant to be so I ended up at MAC spending considerably more than I’d intended. When I mentioned that I’d bought this in a video the purchase met mixed reviews.. some said it was amazing and others said it would break easily and run out quickly.. but how did it work for me?
I’d say it lasted about a month give or take and I used it fairly lightly given that it wasn’t something I wanted to repurchase soon but a month for a pencil of any kind is pretty poor, especially when you’ve spent £12.50. Saying that I did really like it, I was looking for the right shade that wasn’t too waxy and allowed me to be heavy handed without it looking overdone and that’s exactly what it did. Even when I did overdo it a little it looked natural and unlike the super waxy pencils it never looked streaky.. I hate that! It’s almost like powder in a precision pencil and for me it’s the ultimate eyebrow definer but I can’t justify spending £150 a year on my eyebrows when a powder palette for less than £10 could last me the same amount of time.
Mac Taupe Brow Pencil Color Chart
If your current eyebrows are dark, then opt for a similar color. However, you don't say whether your gray hair is light or dark. If it is a dark gray, a darker gray pencil will work. If your hair is light (white gray) you could begin to tone down the color of your eyebrows using a grayish taupe color. MAC Eyebrow has a very small tip, making it perfect for drawing hair- like strokes and from no brows to thick brows; it's an all- encompassing eyebrow pencil. Lingering is described as a 'Soft Taupe Brown'; a good shade, really, and it fits Asian skin tone really well. Product description This brow pencil is a brand new, never used, authentic MAC product. It is a creamy, long-wearing brow pencil with a easy to sharpen point. Fills-in, defines and colours with precision.
My brows are sparse and a dark ash blonde colour, they allow me to switch my hair colour from very light to very dark but I often lust after the super strong brows of others that need a swipe of brow set or wax to keep them in place and they’re good to go. I have to draw mine on every day and it’s a chore so anything that makes the job easier is welcome and I will no doubt by this again it’s just not going to be a regular repurchase.
