AVON Perfect Eyebrow Pencil

(£6.50 from AVON although they regularly have offers)

What use is an eyebrow pencil without having a brush to fashion eyebrows into shape? Carrying both around is  a bit of a pain so AVON decided to cut out the problem and have a double ended pencil that features both. The design fits in with the rest of their make-up theme. Black with a hint of silver to add a sleek feel to the make-up range. They stated that the 'dual-ended liner and brush helps shape and sculpt'. The pencil is also described as 'soft' and 'powdery' to give a 'natural-looking finish'.

The brush itself follows a usual pattern which allows me to shape my eyebrows and make sure that the pencil itself can go on in the shape I personally would like. The bristles aren't too hard on my eyebrows and I'm pleased with its delivery although to be fair, I'm not sure too much could go wrong with a brush!

The pencil itself is only currently available in blonde or dark brown. I purchased dark brown although, compared to my other AVON brow definer, I can definitely say this is much more of a light brown. I suppose the explanation is that this is designed to give a more 'natural' look. Nevertheless I'd like it a little darker. My only other disappointment is that previous eyebrow pencils from AVON have come with a twist up style rather than the pencil meaning I then have to hunt around for a sharpener to use.

The pencil itself is soft and minimal pressure is needed in order to obtain a lovely natural looking result. As claimed it leaves my eyebrows looking natural and giving it a subtle look perfect for daytime. I wouldn't pay £6.50 for this product, partially because I'm on a tight budget, but I'm happy to pay the £4 I did. It's a lovely little product and perfect for topping up in make-up bags - although a sharpener would be handy!
