Brow products

I am always trying new brow products, and am not a huge lover of most I purchase.  I am looking for opinions on the best brow pencil in a soft black shade.

Re: Brow products

@kendrajean78  What issues have you had with most of the brow pencils you've tried? Do you not like something about their textures? Or was it just a color match issue? Or did some of them not last on your skin throughout the day? Were some of them not fine-pointed enough for you? I'm trying to get a sense of which products to exclude from my recommendations. 

 

My 2 favorite brow pencils aren't sold by Sephora and they have a rather dry texture. (For my particular skin and the way I do my brows, I prefer a dry textured pencil.) They're the Kimiko Super Fine Eyebrow Pencil Automatique shade Black Tea (perfect color match for my mostly black brows) and Shu Uemura Hard Formula Eyebrow Pencil shade Sound Black. The Shu Uemura pencil is activated by the natural oils in brows, so it won't swatch well on the back of your hand (the first time I tried that, I wound up with a red welt on my hand). If you want a softer black than Sound Black, consider Stone Grey; I haven't tried that shade myself but I keep meaning to. 

 

I recently bought GXVE BY GWEN STEFANI Hella On Point Clean Ultra-Fine Brow Pencil 7  which isn't quite black, but it's a deep dark almost-black brown that works well on my brows. This is the brow pencil I keep in my bag for emergency touchups on the go, and I do occasionally use it at home in rotation with the Kimiko and Shu Uemura pencils. It's not as dry a formula as those 2, but it's drier than the vast majority of brow pencils on the market.
