At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
This eyebrow pencil is ideal for anyone seeking a quick and foolproof way to shape, fill, and define their eyebrows for a natural, polished look. It's especially great for beginners.
- Texture: Smooth, waxy pencil that glides on easily without tugging.
- Finish: Natural matte, mimics the look of real brow hairs.
- Shade: 03 Brown is a versatile, neutral-toned medium brown, perfect for those with medium to dark brown hair. It avoids the reddish tones often found in brown brow products.
- Key Feature: Dual-ended design with an automatic, twist-up angled pencil on one end and a soft spoolie brush on the other for seamless blending.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Prep: Apply your usual skincare, sunscreen, and base makeup.
- Define & Fill: Use light, upward strokes with the pencil to outline and fill in any sparse areas in your brows.
- Blend & Set: Brush through your brows with the built-in spoolie to soften any harsh lines and create a natural finish. For extra hold in humidity, lightly set with a translucent powder.
Note: Already own a similar step? Finish that first (substitute, donβt stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
Eyebrows are typically one of the final steps in a makeup routine. Here's a common order for a polished look:
- Base: Skincare β Sunscreen β Primer β Foundation/BB Cream β Concealer/Powder.
- Brows: Use THE FACE SHOP Designing Eyebrow Pencil to shape and fill your brows. This step frames the face before eye makeup.
- Eyes & Cheeks: Eyeshadow β Eyeliner β Mascara β Blusher/Bronzer.
- Lips & Finish: Lip Tint/Lipstick β Setting Spray (optional, but recommended for long wear in Mauritius).
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Proper removal is essential to keep skin healthy. A double cleanse is the most effective way to remove all traces of makeup and sunscreen.
- First Cleanse (Oil-Based): Use a cleansing oil or balm on dry skin to dissolve makeup, including the eyebrow pencil. Massage gently, then add water to emulsify and rinse.
- Second Cleanse (Water-Based): Follow with a gentle foaming or gel cleanser to wash away any remaining residue.
- Skincare: Proceed with your regular PM skincare routine (toner, serum, moisturiser).
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Amount: Twist up only 1-2mm of the pencil tip at a time to prevent breakage.
- Frequency: Use daily as part of your makeup routine.
-
Method:
- Brush Up: Use the spoolie end to brush your brow hairs upwards to see their natural shape and any sparse areas.
- Outline: Use the thin edge of the angled pencil to lightly draw the bottom line of your brow, from the start to the arch and down to the tail.
- Fill In: Use the wider, flat side of the pencil to fill in any gaps with light, feathery strokes in the direction of hair growth. Build up the color gradually for a more intense look.
- Blend: Use the spoolie again to brush through your brows, softening the color and blending it for a seamless, natural finish.
If-This / Then-That:
- Very Oily Skin? Lightly dust your brows with a translucent powder or use an eyeshadow primer on the brow area before applying the pencil to improve longevity.
- Want a Bolder Look? Build the color in thin layers. After filling, you can go over the arch and tail with the fine tip for extra definition.
- Tip Breaking? You are likely twisting up too much product. Only expose a very small amount of the pencil lead.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate β 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: Brows appear fuller, more defined, and evenly colored. The face looks more framed and polished. The spoolie blends the product for a soft, natural finish that isn't harsh or "drawn on."
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
-
Works Well With:
- Foundations & BB Creams: Apply after your base makeup has been set with powder for best results and longevity.
- Brow Gels: Can be used underneath a clear or tinted brow gel for extra hold and texture.
- Eyeshadow Primers: Applying a small amount of primer to the brow area can help the pencil adhere better on oily skin.
- Setting Sprays: A final mist of setting spray will help lock the brow makeup in place all day.
-
Use Carefully:
- Rich Moisturisers/Face Oils: If your skincare is very emollient, ensure it is fully absorbed or lightly powdered over before brow application to prevent the pencil from slipping.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- All Skin Types: This pencil is suitable for all skin types.
- Oily Skin: The waxy formula adheres well, but for maximum longevity in high humidity, setting with a translucent powder or using a primer is recommended to prevent smudging.
- Dry Skin: The smooth formula glides easily without tugging on dry skin.
Individual responses may vary.

Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
- "The color looks too harsh or blocky." β You may be applying with too much pressure. Use very light, feathery strokes. Always use the spoolie brush to blend and soften the color for a natural look. The firmness of this pencil is designed to prevent over-application.
- "The pencil keeps breaking." β Only twist up 1-2mm of the product. Exposing too much of the lead makes it prone to snapping during application.
- "It smudges during the day." β This can happen in high humidity or on very oily skin. Try setting your brows with a translucent powder after application. Applying a bit of eyeshadow primer to the brow area before the pencil can also dramatically increase wear time.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summers: The wax-based formula provides decent resistance to humidity. For all-day, sweat-proof wear, it's highly recommended to set the pencil with a light dusting of translucent powder or a brow gel.
- Drier Winters/AC Environments: The pencil performs excellently, gliding on smoothly without issue.
- Beach Days: This pencil is not waterproof. For swimming or intense sweating, it may smudge or fade. Consider a waterproof brow product for such occasions.

Is This the Best Choice for You? (Mindful Alternatives) (other options to consider)
This eyebrow pencil in 03 Brown is an excellent choice for a natural, everyday look, especially for those with medium to dark brown hair. However, choosing the right brow shade is key to a natural finish. Consider these alternatives based on your hair color:
- For Ashy Blonde to Light Brown Hair: THE FACE SHOP Designing Eyebrow Pencil 02 Gray Brown β Choose this if brown pencils often look too red or warm on you. The gray undertone provides a softer, more natural match for cooler-toned hair.
- For Dark Brown to Black Hair: THE FACE SHOP Designing Eyebrow Pencil 05 Dark Brown β Choose this if you have very dark hair and need a deeper shade for more definition without looking harsh.
- For Black or Gray Hair: THE FACE SHOP Designing Eyebrow Pencil 06 Dark Gray β Choose this if you have black hair and find that brown pencils look unnatural. A dark gray or soft black shade often provides a more harmonious match.
Mindful Use: If you already have a brow pencil at home that you enjoy, consider finishing it first to avoid waste and make a fair comparison. The best product is one that you use consistently and feel confident in.
Packaging, Sustainability & Practical Details (bottle, storage, and travel)
- Format: A slim, dual-ended automatic plastic pencil. One end has the twist-up pencil with a protective cap, and the other has a spoolie brush, also with a cap.

- An Amazon review (2025-01) described it as a "good, affordable pencil for everyday," highlighting the spoolie as "great for blending." As a fair caveat, they noted, "It's not waterproof, so it can smudge a bit in very high humidity or if I sweat a lot."
- On Reddit's r/AsianBeauty forum (2024-11), a user recommended it as "a classic beginner pencil," adding that because it's "not super pigmented which is a good thing - you can build it up without getting blocky brows." They also warned, "The tip can break if you twist up too much product."

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- How do I choose the right shade of eyebrow pencil?
- A general rule is to choose a shade that is one to two shades lighter than your hair color for a natural look. If you have black hair, a dark gray or soft black (like shade 06) is often more natural than a harsh black. For brown hair, match the undertone: if your hair has reddish tones, a warmer brown might work, but for most, a neutral or ashy brown (like 03 Brown or 02 Gray Brown) is the most flattering.
- Is this eyebrow pencil waterproof?
- No, this pencil is not formulated to be waterproof. It is reasonably long-wearing for daily activities but may smudge or fade with heavy sweating, swimming, or rubbing. To increase its longevity, you can set it with a translucent powder or a waterproof brow gel.
- How do I stop the pencil tip from breaking?
- The lead is soft to allow for smooth application. To prevent it from breaking, only twist up about 1-2 millimeters of product at a timeβjust enough for one application. Applying gentle pressure is also key.
