Yes, I really do get this excited about filling in my brows…
Yes, I really do, because Raul is hella annoying.
I’ve been filling in my brows lately with this awesome $21 MAC Brow Sculpt Brow Pencil. It’s been out a while, and it comes in shades you might recognize if you’re a MAC fan, like Brun and Cork. MAC took some of their existing eyeshadow colors that are commonly used to fill in brows, and put them in handy-dandy pencils.
The reason I think this one is all sorts of awesome is because it totes reminds me of my favorite-ist brow pencil (yes, I said favorite-ist) — well, my former favorite-ist brow pencil — the Tom Ford Brow Sculptor, which is hella expensive, dude. It’s $44.
Have I told you about the time I put two of them in my cart and floated out of my body? Like, I literally floated out of my body. I had an out-of-body experience because of how expensive they are, and I’ve been scouring the makeup jungle for years looking for something similar but less pricey like this MAC pencil.
It has a twist-up tip with a skinny triangle shape (like the Tom Ford pencil) that covers a good surface area, so I’m not sitting there drawing in every little hair with a tiny tip for hours… I can finish my brows pretty quickly with this one.
I also love the level of pigment. The colors aren’t as rich or intense as some brow pencils, which I think is a good thing in this case. I don’t much like pencils that are super soft or pigmented because if I forget and keep drawing, and keep drawing, and keep drawing, I end up with Groucho Marx/scary Frankenstein brows, at which point it’s hard to go back.
You know how it is — once you have too much on there, it’s hard to remove pigment and back up. I’ve gotten in that situation many times before, and it isn’t fun.
The face you make when your favorite Tom Ford Brow Pencil is $44
MAC Brow Sculpt Brow Pencil ($21)
Permanent, available now at MAC stores and onlineAvailable in Omega (a light ash blonde), Cork (warm blonde), Flight (taupe blonde), Taupe (light taupe), Brun (taupe brown), Lingering (medium brown), Spiked (deep brunette) and Stud (deepest black brunette)
The shade I wear is Brun.
These MAC pencils have the perfect amount of pigment for me. I can still apply a lot of color but keep my brows looking natural.
Because these aren’t full-on, incredibly pigmented, though, they might not be right for someone who wants a bolder Instagram-style brow. If you want something like that, you’re probably better off with a gel or some kind of dramatic brow product. These are better for a natural-looking brow.
Oh, and the spoolie is also shaped like the spoolie on the Tom Ford Brown Pencil.
I think these are great. $21. Look into ’em. 
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
