    i have bought this product for the third time and i guess i will give up on it now. It starts off okay, and works for a bit, but after only about a week or two, the pencil seems to dry up and break off every time it is rolled up. sometimes the pencil won't even roll up, and i mean ever so slightly. I finally found the right colour, but definitely the wrong product. oh well, i will have to look elsewhere for a better pencil

    The first time I purchased this pencil i thought it was a bit overpriced. At $10 for 50g, yes, it think its a bit pricey. It was not until I tried it did I realise why it cost that much.

    I usually shave my brows and them draw them back on. I've used other brow pencils before but this one just sealed the deal.

    The pencil is very thin and therefore gives you a very thin point as it a mechanical pencil. There isn't much product in the drum of the pencil but that problem is well taken care of. The mechanical part of it, lets you twist the point out of the drum but only so much at a time. You CAN NOT over twist this pencil and thats the good thing about it. You use every bit of it and very rational too.

    I purchased the dark-brown and I love it. It looks very natural and does not appear too dark or too light. Its just perfect and looks really natural. The first overlay will be a bit light but a few more strokes and you will get the desired brow that you're looking for.

    I have really oily skin and with other brow pencils I fine that it wears out as my face becomes oily and it starts to smudge. This one won't. The colour stays in tact the whole day even when my face become so oily.

    One time I purchased another one and it must have been a really bad batch because the point kept on breaking off. I called Maybelline to let them know and they were very helpful. They asked me a few questions and stock number printed on the pencil and promised to replace the pencil free of charge and i didn't even have to return the old one.

    In three days, yes 3 days, i got a letter from Maybelline acknowledging my concern and in there was a certificate for any Maybelline product of my choice with no price limit. I thought that was really awesome of them. I really must commend them on the great customer service. Well done.

    I would definitely recommend this product.

    This is one of my "must haves". I travel with it everywhere I go. I have one in my purse, my gym bag and at my desk at work. I practically have no brows and have tried many pencils etc., this is by far my favorite. It doesn't go on clumpy but more importantly doesn't look "fake". The price is very good compared to designer brands, yet is a great quality for a drug store brand. I wouldn't trade this in for anything!

    Amazingness. I have very sparse eyebrows - have always had. I have tried every kind of product from pencils to eyeshadows and the worst of it has always been finding the exact right colour that blends on seamlessly, looks completely natural, and has no shimmer.

    After discovering Dark Blonde/Light Brown from Maybelline's Define-A-Brow, I have not looked back. I kind of laughed when I saw the comb (*wishful thinking*), but I can see that this would be very useful for the thicker browed among us.

    Great stuff, try it!

    I also have found it's the best for me... I have very light eye brows and it's hard to find the right shade that looks totally natural. I love, love, love the blonde shade. It's perfect, and the pencil tip is fine enough and solid enough to go on smooth and makes it easy to follow the eyebrow line. Price is right too!

    This is amazing. It's actually now my favourite over the Anastasia brow powder I've been using for years. I got this free from the brand manager who thought I might like it. I was honestly shocked from the first use how much I love it. It actually looks more natural than the brow powder. The formula looks extremely natural and it allows for a very precise application. My brows have never looked better.
