Maybelline Express Brow Shaping Pencil - 07 Black

Generally, it's best to choose a shade that closely matches your natural brow hair color. If you're unsure, or prefer a softer look, you can go one shade lighter than your natural hair color.

If this is a traditional wooden pencil, yes, you will need a cosmetic sharpener to maintain a fine point for precise application. If it's a retractable design, no sharpening is needed.

While generally well-tolerated, if you have sensitive skin or known allergies, it's always recommended to perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin before full application.

The Maybelline Express Brow Shaping Pencil can be easily removed with most standard makeup removers, micellar water, or your regular facial cleanser.

The pencil is designed for good wear. For extended durability, especially in humid conditions or for oily skin, you can set your brows with a clear brow gel or powder after applying the pencil.

Apply with a lighter hand, using shorter, feathery strokes. Try using less product at the front of your brow. Blend with a spoolie brush to soften harsh lines.

Do not extend too much product at once (if retractable). If it's a sharpenable pencil, ensure you're using a quality cosmetic sharpener and not applying too much pressure during application.

Consider setting your brows with a clear brow gel or a light dusting of translucent powder after applying the pencil for extended wear. Avoid touching your brows frequently.
