Advantages: Soft, Natural looking, Easy to use, not expensive, easy to remove Disadvantages: The product finishes up relatively quickly, not waterproof and can rub off easily
...when she showed me the Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil.
This looks just like any kohl or lip pencil. The only difference is that the top for this pencil has a little brush on it which is meant to be used to brush the hairs of your brows into place. Since I don't have much eyebrow hair, this does me little good, but I can imagine that those with unruly eyebrows would find this a very useful little addition. And, of course, it makes it easy to distinguish this ... ...If you look a the Rimmel web page (information below in the Technical Stuff area), you'll see that this comes in four shades - Black, Dark Brown, Hazel and Blonde. Although I'm actually a darkish blonde, I've chosen the Hazel colour as my favourite. I originally used the Dark Brown one, but I found that if I wasn't careful, I looked a bit like a clown. Now I keep what's left of the Dark Brown one on hand for quick touch-ups in case I'm going out ...

Advantages: Cheap, nice and soft Disadvantages: Colour doesn't quite match for me, lack of staying power
...had great experiences with the Rimmel range before I was willing to give this a try on the basis that you can't really go too wrong with an eyebrow pencil! It is available in supposedly 4 colours, however, my Boots only ever stocks two colours - hazel and dark brown. Apparently it's also available in blonde and black. Being a dark brunette the dark brown was the obvious choice for me. The pencil looks pretty average - much the same as any other kohl ... ...comb on it. In my opinion this is utterly pointless - what kind of bush woman really needs to comb her brows? If they're that bushy you pluck them! The bristles are also very bushy and thick and feel cheap and scratchy on the skin. Not a real issue for me though, since I don't use it. The pencil itself feels very soft and goes onto the skin almost like a powder. It works to coat the hairs and also fill in the gaps, giving a smooth and perfect looking ...

...money.
I do feel that Rimmel make up tends to be by-passed by some who feel that it is maybe a bit on the cheap side but I have had many Rimmel products that have done me proud and I still continue to be a regular Rimmel purchaser.
I saw this Professional Eyebrow Pencil in Superdrug and at £2.65 it was well worth trying.
Strangely enough the Rimmel pencil only comes in two shades, a lighter brown called Hazel and a dark brown. Usually there will ... ...has been discontinued.
This Rimmel eyebrow pencil is nothing special to look at, just an ordinary pencil with the soft coloured lead at one end and a cap at the other end but the cap has a small `toothbrush` attached to it so that you can groom your eyebrows.
I chose the darker brown to match in with my own brows, the Hazel brow pencil would have been far too light for my colouring.
The first step is to tweeze away any unwanted stragglers, making ...

Advantages: Affordable, has a small brush too, good colours. Disadvantages: None really if you're not heavy-handed.
...several eyebrow pencils, but my Rimmel is now a long-standing favourite, as it comes with a little brush on the lid with which to tame my brows once I've pencilled them in. The brush makes a big difference, as it seems to shepherd my brows into a nice arch.
The pencil itself comes in four different shades, of which I can only comment on the Dark Brown, as this is the one that I use. The others are Black, Blonde and Hazel.
The pencil goes on nicely, ... ...find that using light, short strokes of the pencil gives a really natural effect. Once I have done this, I use the brush to blend the pencil in with my actual brows, and voila! groomed eyebrows.
For such an inexpensive pencil (about £2 when I bought it) it really has lasted very very well, considering that I use it every time that I wear make-up. I've had mine for over a year, and there is still a lot left. I'm sure you could find this for a bargain ...

Advantages: easy and even application Disadvantages: brush, wears off.
Anyone who knows me knows that I obsess over my eyebrows.
Years and years ago, I used to shave my eyebrows off entirely, going for this kind of look http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c117/creeper__/Pho224.jpg. Don't get me wrong - I still love this kind of look if executed well, but it's not to everyones tastes. Anyway, I've been growing them back for almost two years now, and they're almost back completely, hurrah! (Quick tip for anybody looking ... ...or when you've overplucked, apply olive oil or castor oil if you can get it to your eyebrows at night...sounds strange, and I'm not sure how this works precisely so I don't know if it's 100% safe, I've never had any problems but do this at your own risk). They're quite patchy, extremely thin and honestly, because I wear a lot of makeup, it looks odd if I don't do my brows too. Anyway, enough guff about me and more about the pencil..
There are a ...

...my eyebrows. I finally found Rimmel Grey 005. It seems now that this colour has been discontinued. Does anyone know where I locate any??? I have tried Hurricane Grey 164 Eye Liner pencil but they are too soft, not as hard as the Brow pencils. Maybe it is because I live in BC Canada that this particular shade of Rimmel's Eye Brow Pencil 005 Grey is no longer available as an Eye Brow pencil. The black is too dark, the brown, blonde, Hazel are not GREY. ...
