Review on πŸ–‹οΈ Ardell Beauty Stroke a Brow Feathering Pen: Achieve Flawless Brows, Medium Brown by Liam Roth

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent eyebrow pencil

I like this eyebrow pencil; This is my favorite brow product I've ever used. If you're not already here on Instagram because of Katie Jane Hughes, I recommend searching for her (@katiejanehughes) and she has a brief history of using this pen. I find it extremely important to hold these pens upside down to allow the "ink" to run down to the brush, and also to keep the brush pointed downward when using the pen strokes to create the desired shape and hair to draw. The faster you work, the better; Some people say the pencil dries out, although I find I get enough time for both brows, especially when using more than one color. You don't have to use primer before using these pens (some people have an issue when using primer; something about the smoothness prevents the pen from sticking. I've never had this problem, but if you're having trouble, try it without primer). I also tend to use brow gel over it, but only to tangle my brow hairs in one direction. Surely you don't have to. I've included some examples as I've had a very hard time finding them online. The main difference between "Soft Black" and "Dark Brown" is that Dark Brown has a warm undertone and is much more opaque than Soft Black in my opinion. The idea is to use short, light strokes so nothing is too strong when you don't want it. I usually use a soft black color first to get the arch shape I want and do some shading, then I use a medium brown also on the inside of the brows for the filling, and then at the very end I use a dark brown. where I need extra coverage. I certainly don't recommend going that extra mile; I bought paints to see how they looked and found that I like the dimensionality of using multiple colors and also that it helps my pens not dry out at the wrong time.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • too stupid
