I’ve gone through 3 of these pencils and need to restock some more because it’s out of stock at my local Walmart. I first bought this not because of recommendation, but because of the price. This pencil goes for $3 and lasts me 3 months with daily use. The application is incredibly smooth and have a spoolie brush on the opposite end of the pencil. The pencil tip almost never breaks off when I sharpen it and it doesn’t dry out if you leave it out without putting the cap on. So far, I’ve only seen 2 shades offered: Brunnet (dark brown) and I think the other is a lighter shade (Blonde). Since it’s incredibly affordable, I recommend trying these out if one of these shades works for you.
