Rimmel Brow This Way Fibre Pencil

Value for money eyebrow pencil. Great if you have blonde hair and do not want heavy dark eyebrows but just a top up. Even great if you have sparse eyebrows. Very natural looking and easy to shape

Best eyebrow pencil that fills the eyebrow with fibres making them look natural. Very fast delivery. Highly reccomend

I bought this product a couple of time pre-lockdown in March 2020 from a drugstore, and started a new one just as it began. I was looking for a pale barely there brown/blonde to fill in the sparse area at the front of my brow because, while they’re naturally very dark, I just wanted a soft amount of colour to thicken them slightly without them looking blocky. This brow pencil was perfect, it gives just enough colour that with a darker brow gel I get the effect that I want, and because I was using it in such a small area, the pencil was lasting a long time.However after finishing it and project panning a few other pencils during lockdown, I finally repurchased in December... it’s half way through February and I’m almost finished the pencil, which seeing the previous pencils had lasted me four or five months, was irritating. I still maintain that this is a good product, but this new pencil when sharpened breaks in chunks because there is - I assume - areas where the fibres are denser and more compact, so half the tip would fall off vertically through the length, rendering the remaining half thin and fragile and it would instantly snap. The fibres are the only reason I could see for chunks to break off like this.This morning I sharpened a centimetre off the pencil because of the issue, which is not the first time, and it’s deeply irritating. This won’t stop me buying the product again, since I’ve used two of these pencils previously without this issue I feel like I just got a bad one, and I like the colour enough that until I can find a look-a-like I’ll stick with it.But if Rimmel could produce this without the fibre I’d be much happier, and I still recommend it if you’re looking for a really soft brown/blonde, but maybe buy two just in case.

Love this eyebrow pencil. I'm very fair and this is the lightest I have found so far. I also don't have a huge amount of eyebrow hair where my eyesbrows should arch and tail off - with this pencil I can create a well shaped and defined eyebrow that doesn't look drawn on. I get amazing results and have been complimented on them several times by women who were surprised when they found out I drew them on.I mostly use the pencil straight onto skin (allowing my moisturiser to dry a while before applying pencil), it works well on powder foundation. If applying to liquid or mouse foundation you will either need to let it set for while (or use setting powder) before using the pencil - it is useless on moist/creamy surfaces. I keep the pencil end sharp so sharpen 1-3 times while using and build up with small strokes. I find the fibres in the pencil help build onto the fine hairs around my eyebrows allowing them to look part of the eyebrow (and actually giving me an eyebrow). For me this pencil is amazing, it won't suit everyone dependent on their normal make up routine. One pencil lasts me 3-4 weeks but it is cheap (i used to buy a £19 branded one that only lasted 5-6 weeks so still quids up). I have been using this pencil over 12months now andI dread the day they discontinue this pencil.

If you have eyebrow hairs then I’m sure this would work fine however if your like me and your eyebrow hair is more sparse or you want to draw part of them on then this product isn’t the one. It only shows pigment over the eyebrow hairs I do have however when I go to draw the end on it’s like scraping colouring Pencil on your face there’s hardly any pigment and it is hard to shape. Wouldn’t buy again.

Good colour and value

I’ve really struggled with this pencil. The colour is perfect, but it doesn’t go on easily at all. I find myself constantly sharpening it, and even then, the colour doesn’t come out well—I have to press really hard.I’ve used this brand before (not from Amazon) and never had an issue, but unfortunately, this one has been disappointing. I even lost a few eyebrow hairs as a result of pressing so hard! Sadly, I wouldn’t repurchase this particular one.

I've been using this brand/type of eyebrow pencil for several years now. For me personally - it really works, fills in the brows perfectly, the fibres make the difference. Product quality is good, sharpens well. To date it has always been available on Amazon and at the best price.
