• What it is: A dual-ended, retractable eyebrow pencil with an angled tip for drawing and a spoolie brush for blending.
• Who it's for: Perfect for beginners and anyone wanting a quick, natural-looking brow. Ideal for those with sparse or undefined brows.
• Shade Profile: #05 Dark Brown is a versatile, deep brown with a neutral-to-cool undertone, suitable for dark brown to black hair without looking reddish.
• Key Benefits: Defines brow shape, fills in sparse areas, and tames unruly hairs for a clean, put-together look. The waxy formula offers good longevity in warm weather.

1. Groom: Use the spoolie end to brush your brow hairs upwards and outwards to see their natural shape.
2. Fill & Define: Twist up a small amount of the pencil. Use the flat edge to outline and the pointed tip to draw light, hair-like strokes to fill in any gaps.
3. Blend: Use the spoolie again to soften any harsh lines and blend the color for a seamless, natural finish.

Mindful Tip: Already own a similar brow product? Finish that first. The goal is to enhance your routine, not clutter it.

Application Steps:

• Start with clean, dry brows. Avoid applying over oily skincare, as this can reduce wear time.
• Twist the pencil up by only 1-2mm to prevent breakage.
• Use the angled tip to create a soft outline along the bottom of your brow, following its natural arch.
• Fill in the brow using short, upward strokes that mimic the direction of your hair growth. Focus on sparse areas.
• Use the spoolie brush to comb through the brows, blending the pigment and softening the look for a natural, non-blocky appearance.

Removal:

• The waxy formula is best removed with an oil-based cleanser or a dual-phase (oil and water) eye and lip makeup remover as part of a double-cleanse routine.
• Saturate a cotton pad, press gently on the brow for a few seconds to dissolve the product, and then wipe away.

• For Longevity in Humidity: After filling in your brows, lightly set them with a translucent powder (like the INNISFREE No Sebum Mineral Powder) or a clear brow gel. This helps lock the pigment in place and resist smudging from sweat or oil.
• To Avoid a "Drawn-On" Look: Always use a light hand. It's easier to add more product than to take it away. Concentrate the color on the arch and tail of the brow, keeping the front part (closest to your nose) softer and more diffused.
• Finding the Right Pressure: The pencil has a firm, waxy texture. Use light pressure for a softer, more natural look. Use slightly more pressure for a bolder, more defined brow.
• Sharpening the Tip: While it's retractable, you can gently scrape the tip on a clean, flat surface (like the back of the lid or a tissue) to refine the edge for extra-sharp hair-like strokes.

• Works Well With: Clear or tinted brow gels (applied after the pencil to set hairs), brow powders (to add dimension or set the pencil), and matte eyeshadows in a similar shade.
• Use With Caution: Applying over very emollient or oily sunscreens and moisturizers can cause the pencil to slip or wear off faster. Allow skincare to fully absorb or lightly blot the brow area before application.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken, irritated, or sunburnt skin.

• Oily Skin: Good performance. The waxy formula adheres well. To maximize wear, ensure the brow area is clean and free of oil before application, and consider setting with a powder.
• Dry Skin: Excellent. The pencil glides on without catching on dry patches. Ensure skin is moisturized, but not greasy, for smooth application.
• Combination Skin: Excellent. Performs well on both the potentially oily and dry areas of the face.
• Sensitive Skin: Generally well-tolerated as it's typically free of common irritants like fragrance. However, a patch test is always recommended.

• Sparse or Gappy Brows: The fine tip allows for precise filling of sparse areas with strokes that look like natural hairs.
• Undefined Shape: The angled pencil makes it easy to outline and define the brow arch and tail for a more structured look.
• Unruly Hairs: The spoolie brush helps to comb and set brow hairs in place for a groomed, tidy appearance.

The full, official INCI list is not consistently published across all markets. However, based on typical formulations for this type of product, key ingredients generally include:

• Hydrogenated Soybean Oil / Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides: These are plant-derived waxes that create the solid pencil structure. They provide a smooth glide and help the color adhere to skin and brow hairs.
• Iron Oxides (CI 77499, CI 77492, CI 77491): These are mineral pigments used to create the brown and black tones for the pencil color. They are considered safe and stable for cosmetic use.
• Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891): A white mineral pigment used to adjust the shade and provide opacity.
• Carnauba Wax / Candelilla Wax: Natural plant waxes that add firmness and durability to the pencil, helping it resist smudging in warm conditions.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Often included as an antioxidant to stabilize the formula and provide minor skin conditioning benefits.

Formulated Without (Typically): Fragrance, Parabens.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product does not contain added artificial fragrances or essential oils. It should have no discernible scent.
• EU Allergens: None are declared by the brand for this product. However, without a publicly available complete INCI list for all regions, we cannot fully verify. A patch test is always advised for highly sensitive individuals.

• Who can use it: Suitable for all skin types. It is an excellent choice for teenagers and adults new to makeup.
• Who should be cautious: Individuals with known allergies to cosmetic pigments or waxes should review the ingredient list if available or perform a patch test.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of the pencil to a discreet area, such as behind the ear or on your inner arm. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, do not use the product on your brows.
• General Safety: For external use only. Discontinue use if signs of irritation or rash appear. Keep out of reach of children. Do not share eye-area cosmetics to avoid cross-contamination.

• Texture: A firm, slightly waxy pencil that glides smoothly without being too soft or creamy. This firmness prevents over-application and allows for precise, controlled strokes.
• Finish: Natural matte finish that mimics the appearance of real brow hairs.
• Scent: None (fragrance-free).
• Shade Analysis (#05 Dark Brown): This is a deep brown shade designed for those with dark brown to black hair. It has a neutral-to-cool undertone, which is crucial for preventing the "reddish-brown" look that can appear unnatural on many skin tones.

• Issue: The pencil tip breaks easily.
  Solution: Only twist up 1-2mm of product at a time. The firm, fine tip is effective but delicate. Applying too much pressure can also cause breakage.
• Issue: The color looks too dark or harsh.
  Solution: Use a lighter hand and apply with short, feathery strokes rather than a solid line. Use the spoolie end to brush through and diffuse the pigment until it looks soft and natural.
• Issue: The color smudges or fades during the day.
  Solution: Ensure your brow area is free from oil or heavy moisturizer before application. For extra hold, especially on oily skin or very hot days, set the pencil with a translucent powder or a clear brow gel.
