An eyebrow pencil that promises to create fuller-looking, supermodel-style brows has gained a lot of fans. The Charlotte Tilbury Brow Cheat is £26 from Space NK, where it is available in a range of eight shades – although one is currently out of stock.
Makeup fans can choose a colour to suit them, from Light Blonde to Natural Black with various shades of brown available in between. The micro precision refillable eyebrow pencil has an angled tip to perfect the illusion of defined, natural brow hairs, the brand says.
Described as fool-proof, the pencil is easy to use to create professional brows at home. Whether the user has sparse, thick, or thin brows, the pencil is sure to enhance their overall look and stay in place all day. The pencil is the perfect way to elevate a makeup look and make the wearer ready for the party season.
Charlotte Tilbury, which has developed a popular following since being launched in 2013, is cruelty-free and Leaping Bunny certified. The pencil is rich in emollients allowing for smooth application, with ingredients including carnauba wax and vitamin E.
An alternative product is the Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil, which is £26 at Boots. Shoppers can currently buy a second Benefit product for half price, with the waterproof and smudge proof brow pencil promising to create natural-looking brows.
At a lower price point, Amazon has a Max Factor Brow Shaper Pencil for sale with a current 44% saving. Now £5, down from
£8.99, its ultra fine tip enables precise application and is available in four different shades.
The Charlotte Tilbury brow pencil has received rave reviews, with many giving it five stars on the Space NK website. One said: “I have post menopausal eyebrows plus a thyroid condition, so my eyebrows are thin and I have a gap in the middle of one of them. I am also blonde and the colour is very fair. This is the best pencil I have ever used. I use the soft brown colour and gives colour and definition and it really has made a difference.”
Another said: “I really enjoy using this brow pencil, very precise and easy to fill in brows. I like that it comes with a brush on one end, not all pencils have this and it is really handy for brushing the brows upwards before application and also brushing the product through afterwards.”
And one fan said: “I love using this and buying the refills as it saves money and is better for the environment. The refills are super easy to use and I buy a few at once that I keep ready to swap in when one runs out.”
However one review left some feedback, saying: “I have used this in the past and I like this product but it does take a bit of time to get it right.” Another wrote: “I do find that the pencil end seems to come loose quite often but that is just a side effect of it being refillable, which I can’t complain about.”
