Benefit Precisely, My Brow Pencil - 01 Light - 0,08g

My brows are on the full side but I have a few sparse areas I like to fill in with pencil. The precision tip is extremely fine and makes it easy to fill in— I love that it totally looks like real hairs and not obviously pencil. I really like that this brow product, gifted by benefit cosmetics, has the double end with the brow comb so I can easily groom brows. The shade matches my brows perfectly as well and is pigmented so it shows up well! I pair with the 24 Hour Brow Setter for perfect brows that last all day. The only con with this product is that the tip is very fragile and can break easily if not applied using gentle strokes. Overall a definite winner that I would repurchase!

Unfortunately, this fell just a little short of my expectations. Upon application it looks a little ashy, although it is pigmented the color didn’t seem deep enough. It seems the formula is maybe a little waxy, as it seemed hard to apply enough on my eyebrows to fill in gaps. Even after multiple attempts, I struggled to achieve the desired shape and definition. The pencil also seemed to wear off quickly throughout the day, leaving me with sparse brows by the afternoon. I do love the retractable part of this as well as the eyebrow brush spooly! The design is also very adorable. I think I will stick to my other gels!

I am so loving this brow pencil. The Precisely My Brow Pencil is a game changer for achieving perfect brows every time. It’s made it way into my routine as my go to brow product. The ultra fine tip allows you to get precise application every time. It’s super easy to use, even for beginners. It fills in your brows so easily, mimicking the look of full, natural looking brows. To fill in some brows, create bold, defined arches, this effortlessly gives you a flawless look. It’s also waterproof, no matter what your doing it will stay put all day long. The formula is long wearing, looks good from the time you apply till you take it off. It’s creamy and easy to apply, goes on smoothly and evenly. The pigmentation is impressive, buildable color to give your brows a natural ... MoreI am so loving this brow pencil.

This truly is a foolproof product, so easy to use and gives you immaculate looking brows every single time. The packaging is impeccable, feels good in your hand, retractable to make it easy to take along. The spoolie is a fabulous addition, making it so easy to blend and groom my brows to get a perfected look. Benefit has so many wonderful eye products and this is another gem. So easy to use and the results are fantastic. I definitely recommend this of your in the market for a new brow pencil.

Doesn't last!!

The only problem I have with this prodect is it doesnt last at ALL. The good things I have to say is that the application is smooth and easy, I personally didnt have any issues with the pencil breaking off, and they have a wide range of colors. This product is extremely hard to build on itself because any little touch will wipe it clean off. I have a scar on one of my brows (which is where I use the product ) and there's been so many times I use the blending side very light and gentle just for it to wipe off everything. if i wear my hair down and a curl touches it, it wipes off. if i give someone a hug it wipes off. My final staw was when my purse strap brushed my brow and the product came clean off. there should be no reason i have to be that cautious. i wouldn't ... MoreThe only problem I have with this prodect is it doesnt last at ALL.

I actually love it!

I decided to pick this brow product when it was 50% off and the moment I tested it on the back of my hand I panicked, because it was so hard and lacking pigment. I thought it was an old pencil and that that was the reason for the sale. I was ready to return it but I am glad I tried it on my brows because that was a completely different story. I love it!PROS:- It has a dry texture to it, which makes it feel stiff and difficult to work with, but it is actually easy and performs very well once you get used to it.- It lasts the entire day like just applied: it didn’t move or smudge.- It looks natural and true to color.- It has a thin tip that allows for precise application (but not hair-like strokes)- It has a reasonable price and an amazing one if you get it ... MoreI decided to pick this brow product when it was 50% off and the moment I tested it on the back of my hand I panicked, because it was so hard and lacking pigment.

But I cannot draw hair-like strokes (see hand swatch, and that’s with the pencil just opened)- It has light pigmentation (as you can also see in the hand swatch, which took me several passes to draw) which requires more work on my part but, having black eyebrows, but allows to make them look more natural and build up intensity if I want to.I am sharing my honest and authentic opinion as a Sephora Beauty Insider Community Ambassador.

LEARN & you will LOVE

LISTEN.... Don't be like me. When I went into the store, looking for this, I went to try it. Each time I twisted the point up and went to apply it on my wrist, it broke off. I loved it so much that I asked the sales girl if she had anything else in the store like this product as this product keeps breaking. She explained to me that you cannot turn it past the plastic tubing and then began to apply it on me...BAM!!! I am SO GLAD I ASKED, as this is exactly what my fair blonde sparse brows needed. I can't do powders and thick prncils.It reminds me of a pencil that you write with, except it goes on your brows. Just take the time to learn how to use it and you will love it. !!!!

Love it, but be careful

I have a love hate relationship with this product. As someone with sparse eyebrow hairs and microblading, it creates very fine hair like strokes in a wide variety of natural colors just like real hairs...but it does break easily if you are too forceful or expose too much product. And can be more difficult to apply if it's hot and humid and your foundation creates a barrier to apply well to your skin. That said, do I keep buying it? Yes. Do I tread lightly knowing I can waste product? Yes. Pair with the Benefit Micro blade pen, and you have brows!

MY FAVORITE!!!

I absolutely love this brow pencil. Im 100% a girly girl and love all things makeup/skincare. I find products that I love and still wanf to try other products. After finding this brow pencil I will never use another brow pencil. It is so blendable and creamy. When I was on the highschool dance team all the girls asked to barrow my brow pencil. It is perfect for whatever look you sre going for. It is perfect for an everyday look or a full glam. I have shade 3.75 and it matches my brows perfectly. Ive gone through at least 3 or 4 brow pencils in the last year. I recommend this to EVERYONE. I will definitely continue to repurchase it.

Precise, but looks flat in natural light

This draws precise lines, is easy to use, offers a decent color selection, and stays put. But if you’re starting out with very sparse brows and want a natural look, you might be disappointed. The effect in outdoor light looks hard, flat, and artificial. A pomade (like the one by Anastasia) gives a softer effect, with some depth and dimension, and in natural light looks almost like a real, full brow — but pomades sacrifice precision, can’t provide definition of hairs, and can be more challenging to apply without making a mess or overdoing it. A Sephora rep recommended the Benefit Precisely pencil, but I’m not entirely happy with it, and I’m not convinced that it’s miles better than similar pencils by other brands.

Shade 6 is too light and warm

I had been using the Anastasia brow pencil in the shade Granite for years but had heard great things about this one and decided to try it when it was 50% off. Shade 6 is described as a cool, soft black, which is what I wanted, but in reality it's too warm-toned and light to look natural in my brows. (I am very fair with black hair and want a pencil that I can use to add a few hairs in sparse areas.) The quality of the pencil is fine, and the packaging is durable and functional - much better than the Anastasia - but I just could not use it. It's also overpriced. The Anastasia is as well, but I have a hard time getting a good color match with drugstore options - although that seems to be improving. I think this brow pencil is a good, though overpriced, option if you ... MoreI had been using the Anastasia brow pencil in the shade Granite for years but had heard great things about this one and decided to try it when it was 50% off.

Tip: if you have issues with the lasting power of your brow pencil, try using an eyeshadow primer underneath. I like the one from Milani.
