Okay, so I finally caved and tried the Anastasia Brow Pencil after seeing it EVERYWHERE. And wow, I get the hype now!
The color payoff is insane - one light swipe and my sparse brows look full and natural. I got 'Soft Brown' and it's the perfect match for my dark blonde hair with reddish undertones.
What really surprised me is how creamy it applies. Unlike those dry pencils that tug at your brows, this glides on like butter. Though fair warning - if you prefer super precise lines, you might find it a bit too soft.
Staying power is decent - lasts me through a workday unless I'm constantly touching my face (which...guilty). Pro tip: set it with some clear brow gel and you're golden!
The only con? It does need sharpening which feels kinda old-school in 2023. But honestly? The results are so good I don't even care. Already repurchased!
