Chanel Crayon Sourcils 40 Brun Cendré 1 gram

I really love this!! Twist up and fill em in! Then use spooley to brush up and blend!! Easiest one I've tried. Not wet like gels and others. I really appreciate the fact that it's all in one pen too!

My brows don’t need much- they’re pretty dark and thick already so all I do is perfect their shape. This pencil is my go to. I have the shade 40 Brun Cendre, my favorite shade for filling in my eyebrows: neutral-cool dark brown. The pencil is neither hard nor soft- perfect in between. Along with the spoolie, makes the application process easy and quick. My eyebrows stay put and look good. Are there equally good cheaper alternatives out there? Yes. But aside from paying for the brand, the quality is just great. Wooden pencils last me for a long time- I recently bought Benefit Precisely My Brow and it lasted me for a month, whereas a wooden pencil will last for half a year, or even more. So, essentially, I think it’s worth the money.

I don't see how anyone except die-hard Chanel fans would be willing to repurchase it. This product hasn't changed in last 15 years while the brow industry did a big step forward. You're paying for the name, not for the performance. This pencil is soft, too soft to be used on the oily skin and even on my dry skin/dry brows is smears like nothing else every time I accidentally touch it. Due to the pencil softness, I have to continuously sharpen it to make it work on my naturally thin eyebrows. Literally every time I use it! I also have a very hard time making it look natural. 4 shades just do not cut it. The spooley is big, it's designed for people who have great full eyebrows. Nothing like what I have to work with. I prefer more precise, low maintenance and long-lasting products.

A few years ago I first tried pencil instead of powder for coloring my brows. I have only tried $TF & Hourglass, believing that the wedge shaped pencil would be more natural. Chanel's is a traditional pencil, but for me, I have a lot more control than with the other 2 and this one lasts on my brows until I take it off, while the others fade noticeably. I have #30. My brows are tinted a medium taupey brown. The #30 matches very well and looks completely natural. Recently, I have gotten a fair share of compliments on my brows and I think part of the reason is this pencil.

Bought this several years ago along with some other items for my wedding makeup. There was a Chanel artist event at Nordstrom, and one of the gentleman gave me the best, most beautiful brows I have ever sported using this pencil and what felt like a thousand of the lightest application strokes using this. Of course I bought the pencil after that! I haven't been able to recreate his magic entirely, but I come as close as I can. I am fair skinned and use the blonde color. Works well whether I am (fake) tan or not. Love love love the spoolie, love that it has its own cap. Will I repurchase when I use this one up? Yes. It's not cheap (duh, right?!) So I may have to budget, but that is far enough in the future that I will cross that bridge when I come to it.
