SilkyGirl Hi-Definition Brow Liner Review

 

Brow liner pencils are something I really work with because it is perfect for daily and easiest to use.  

But how good should a brow liner pencil be in my humble opinon?

It must come with various shades to choose from, it must have powdery and natural finish and it SHOULD stay until make up removal!

I recently tried SilkyGirl’s newest shades of Hi-Definition Brow Liners, they have 3 in the past and released 3 new ones.  

Top To bottom: 03 Ash Brown , 04 Natural Brown and 05 Soft Gray

Tried Ash Brown on left side brow facing you against the right one that was unfilled.  Can you see the difference?

This side is shade 04 Dark Greige with Pencil + Liner.  Now you can see how brown and greige would look against my skin.  Which one is your pick?

Make Up For Ever Brow Filler and Brow Definer review

 

A week ago, I attended a virtual launch of Make Up For Ever PH’s Aqua Resist brow products!  3 new brow products under this line and I am featuring the 2 pencils because I have been using and testing these ever since I got them.

Make Up For Ever’s Brow Filler and Brow Definer

Price: Php1,400 each

Available online at Lazada

I got both shades in 30 Soft Brown

Top: Brow Filler

Bottom: Brow Definer

Aqua Resist Brow Filler 

Multi-use slanted tip brow pencil with a built-in spoolie that delivers 24HR waterproof, smudge-proof wear. Ideal for patchy or sparse brows.

The pencil is thicker so it is easier to fill larger areas as compared to the Brow Definer.  This is a retractable pencil and you get pigmented brow pencil with a nice touch of wax - yes, I can feel the wax as my stubborn brow hairs are pushed in place (even upwards without issue) upon using the product.  I also like how it can “tint” my brow hairs naturally.  Check out my before and after photo below.

Bobbi Brown Perfectly Defined Long Wear Brow Pencil Review

 

Hi AMW Friends!

Happy Friday!

Today, I will be sharing a super nice eyebrow pencil from the brand Bobbi Brown called Bobbi Brown Perfectly Defined Long Wear Brow Pencil in Espresso.

I have always been a fan of this brand in terms of professional and personal use.  I have relied on the Bobbi Brown Gel Liner for so many years I can’t seem to survive without them in my kit.

For the first time, I tried their Eyebrow pencil and I was literally shaking my head thinking: “Why just NOW?”

Apologies for the Quarantine brows!  I haven’t had my brows professionally trimmed and shaped professionally.  I kind of enjoyed this bushy brow “Brooke Shields” effect.

So back to this pencil, there are a total of 8 shades on website - Espresso is located at 2nd to the last (Meaning 2nd to the last darkest shade!). It is defined as A black brown; for dark/darkest brown to black hair with a neutral undertone.

This shade is perfect for my hair color and skin tone!  It was like I went to the store and the SA handpicked this for me!

Unboxing and First Try: Cathy Doll Beauty To Go

End of February, I received the newest products from Cathy Doll called Beauty To Go, which consists of mini versions of important makeup items - eyebrow pencils, eyeliner, lip and cheek color!  These are honestly enough to look at least made-up if you are on-the-go!  

I've tested this for weeks now, with the Lockdown Period in Metro Manila, I even got more chance to play around with makeup and I'm ready to share my thoughts on these new makeup items! 

(Disclaimar: Products are sent for review, opinions are 100% mine!  This is NOT a sponsored post)

That's ME wearing ONLY Cathy Doll Beauty To GO Makeup Products (except face powder!)

Housed in a cute "mini" version of the usual sized makeup, the line can complete a whole look and you can even do various looks with it!  Watch out my video for an added tip if you are an eyeliner pencil girl!

SilkyGirl Perfect Brow Liner & Powder Review

Yes, that's me and my crazy half face brows once again!

I have a kick seeing my 1 brow naked 1 brow drawn photos!  I just like seeing how big transformation a "filled and defined" brow can give!  Do you feel the same?

I roadtested the newest brow product from the brand SilkyGirl.  I got a package from them with various new product launches and I picked this up right away because a girl can't get enough of brow products - let alone Brow Pencils!

SilkyGirl Perfect Brow Liner & Powder

Php329.00

Available in shades: 01 Natural Brown and 02 Dark Brown

The new brow liner & powder has a dual-ended retractable brow pencil with a pencil tip to shape and a powdered tip to fill-in brows, for perfect 3D brows that’s fuller and more defined. The pencil tip has a creamy formula which enables it to glides easily onto brows, enabling you to create and shape perfect brows.

We all love multi-functional products.  I like it that this comes with a brow liner and brow powder,  I also like it that I can use the brow powder as an eye contour or even nose contour when I only have a few products in my bag!  

Make Up Factory Smoky Liner review

Make Up Factory has been quiet for quite some time but that does not stop your resident AMW to keep on priving on various brands to let you know the good and the bad!

I recently got myself Make Up Factory's Smoky Liner because I am looking for a waterproof eyeliner that works for our country!  I mean, I haven't used pencil liners for so long because most of them always smudge and smear on me! 

So how does this fair?

Make Up Factory Smoky Liner

Php925.00 on sale at Zalora now for Php660.00

Because this product is Paraben free and fragrance free, I picked this up and gave this a test.  One swatch said it all (I'll show you swatch after the jump) but what excites me more is the presence of the brush which is meant to brush the "line" you created to look more natural.

Waterproof, long-adhering liner with a brush for blending.

The Smoky Liner is a new eyeliner with an integrated brush at the end. With a brush made from high-quality synthetic fibres, the blending can be done to look professional. Because of its pleasantly soft and delicate wax-based creamy texture, it can be evenly applied, creating intense colors. Perfectly suited to achieve soft and smoky effects, ideal for the Smoky Eyes Look. The liner dries quickly and once dry, it will be smudge and water proof. As a result, the liner provides long-wearing eye make up. Free of perfumes and paraben.

Maybelline Define & Blend Brow Pencils Review

How happy do I look when brows are made up?

Very happy!  I have a couple of brow pencils right on top of my dresser table because I find pencils to be the easiest tool (still) when I'm in a rush!  

Recently, Maybelline launched their newest eyebrow pencils called Define & Blend.  2 years ago, they went full blast with their brow products, created a full range namely ---

Maybelline Fashion Brow Duo Shaper

Maybelline Fashion Brow + Brow Precise

Maybelline MasterBrow pencil

And there were a couple more way back 2014!  I tend to look back and compare but for these particular pencils, I try not to look back because true to what it's supposed to be - you get better as you grow older!  Same with Maybelline, they get better as they create more brow products!

The Maybelline Define & Blend Brow pencils are no exception.  They are first-timer brow product users' friendly!  Easy to use and I love the range of colors!  They actually nailed it with the color choices and as a Professional Make Up Artist, I can actually survive with these 4 shades!

That's me doing the (what else) half-face test with Natural Brown!

Full Brow Powder Finish Brow Crayon Review

So I've done a Full Brow Cosmetics review recently and some of you are impressed with the color and my positive reviews but a lot of you wonder if there is a pencil version of it.

FINALLY!  Our wishes came true!  I know how quick and easy it is to use pencils as compared to other brow products --- that's where we all started anyway!  

Thankfully, it got the same "Full Brow" promise, natural-looking brows that look like your own brow hairs, and best of all, this one on photo is the Brow Crayon and it looks exactly like the Brow Powder + Brow Wax combo that I used in the past!  (Read full review here)

Boxed in the cute Full Brow packaging, I got really excited because I've always been a brow pencil/crayon user!  This one is really something I would use on a daily basis!

Cathy Doll Skinny Eyebrow Pencil Review

Forgive my brows as they were on Holiday for the past weeks, was so busy taking care my dad, my son, my family while working so I actually tried to schedule brow waxing session but it never happened!

Back to my brow stories, I am still thankful I can still find ways to jazz it up on days I need to go out!  Can you see my one-filled brow versus the bare brow on the photo below?

Will you believe me when I say I can do 1 brow for 1 minute (or less) and the other one so just 2 minutes flat for both eyes to achieve #kilayisLife ?

Well, not saying I found a magical tool, but I could almost call it magical because it is one of the easiest brow pencil I've used and tried!

NEW! L'Oreal Brow Artist Xpert Review

When the newest Brow Artist Xpert pencils from L'Oreal landed on my desk one day with 7 true-to-the-brow shades (8 in the US), I knew they mean business.  I immediately picked one shade that I think would match me based from the color of the cap and did a great job in doing so.

BLK Cosmetics Brow Sculpting Pencil Duo Review

How does one knows if an Eyebrow Pencil works or not?

Well, it has to be extremely easy-to-use and the effect should always be natural - very natural that no one can tell you're wearing makeup!

When BLK Cosmetics launched their full face #UncomplicatedBeauty makeup products, I have to agree with Anne Curtis when she said, she wanted a makeup line so easy-to-use even those who aren't familiar with makeup techniques can use the products and feel good using them.

Out of all the BLK Cosmetics I've tried, I have to give them my thumbs up in this particular products called the Brow Sculpting Pencil Duo just because it works!  (And you all know how particular I am when it comes to reviewing eyebrow products!)

The BLK Cosmetics Brow Sculpting Pencil Duo  comes in 2 shades --- Natural Brown and Taupe.  Most Filipinas would probably pick a Natural Brown but if you wanted brows that doesn't have much reddish brown tint to it, you may want to look into this particular shade called TAUPE because it is one of the most natural-looking brow pencil shade - and there's not a lot of them!

BLK Cosmetics Brow Sculpting Pencil Duo Says ---

Ace your arches. Define, fill in, and groom brows in place with this pencil-and-brush duo. The triangle tip has a pointed end to create thin lines and a flat tip for thicker strokes, while the creamy pencil is infused with aloe vera to gently condition your strands. Apply lightly for a natural look or heavily for a full brow. 

Clio Kill Brow Auto Hard Brow Pencil Review

When you visit a Club Clio store, you'll see this brown and yellow box displayed as one of their top-selling product in store!  Personally speaking, I find an Eyebrow Pencils to be the easiest to find because they are either GOOD or BAD!  No in-between!  

But after hearing raves about this particular pencil, I have to grab one and see for myself!  I mean a pencil is just a pencil, what more can it do right?

WRONG!  I find this to go beyond my expectations and I'll tell you why!

CLIO Kill Brow Auto Hard Brow Pencil

Shade: Natural Brown

Php950.00

A hard formula, auto-type pencil for quick and easy drawing and shading of browsAngled, hexagonal tip helps precisely define brows; hard formula provides natural-looking fullness even after multiple application; long-lasting tint stays put for hours; spoolie on other end works to blend and soften color

NYX Sculpt and Highlight Brow Contour Review

Who loves a brow pencil and a highlighter in one?
*Raises hand*
My favorite brow highlighter is from Benefit called High Brow.  I still use it, mostly for clients and scrimp for myself!  So I actually found an inexpensive alternative and I'm so happy it came with a brow pencil too!

NYX Sculpt & Highlight Brow Contour

A pencil with double-sided end.  One side is the brow "contour" while the other side is the highlight.  I got the shade Espresso/Light Beige which I believe is perfect for me!

NYX Sculpt and Highlight Brow Contour Says ---

NYX Professional Makeup's sleek Sculpt & Highlight Brow Contour is a 2-in-1 pencil that define, fills, and uses shadow and light to lift the brows to perfection. Formulated with nourishing castor seed oil, this dynamic eyebrow pencil also helps the brow feel soft and smooth.

Jordana FabuBrow Eyebrow Pencil Review

How many brow pencils have I reviewed?  A LOT!

And I will keep on reviewing them because I believe that's YOUR most requested product to review!  

I've read all your queries, I've seen all your DMs especially when I talk about brows on #AMWIgStories  I understand the strong need for a good pair of brows because... I recently saw a video of myself 10 years ago and I look different with a thin line of brows!  (Yes girls, once in my life, I had this super thin, worm-like brows plastered on top of my eyes!)

One brand that I tried is from Jordana USA called FabuBrow Eyebrow Pencil.  I got the shade 02 Medium Brown which I think is a universally flattering shade for most Filipinas.

On US website, they have 6 shades to choose from --- 01 Taupe, 02 Medium Brown, 03 Dark Brown, 04 Light Taupe 05 Soft Brown and 06 Midnight Brown.  But in the Philippines, I believe they only carry 3 shades (Taupe, Medium Brown and Dark Brown).  I personally wish they have something that would cater girls with redheads!

I thank the Jordana USA heavens that they did not create anything with "black" because black should never be used on brows!  Even with extremely dark hair, I highly recommend Dark Brown or Gray shade!
