As someone with sparse, '90s-overplucked brows, I put this dual-ended miracle worker to the test. The warm brown shade blends surprisingly well with my medium skin tone—no weird reddish undertones!

The pencil glides on like butter (almost too creamy—light hand needed!) and the ultra-fine tip lets me draw hair-like strokes. Pro tip: Always use the spoolie first to brush hairs upward—it reveals the natural gaps perfectly.

Oily skin? No problem. Even after my 3pm face shine, the pigment stayed put (though I did notice slight fading at the tail end). The powder side is where things get tricky—the sponge applicator feels like a child’s makeup toy and deposits barely any product. I ended up using an angled brush instead.

Biggest win? The VALUE. At this price point, getting both pencil AND powder (even if the powder’s mediocre) beats high-end brands. Just don’t expect Anastasia Beverly Hills-level precision—this is for soft, 'I woke up like this' brows.
