Maybelline Brow Ultra Slim Eyebrow Pencil - 05 Deep Brown

For the most natural look, select an eyebrow pencil shade that is either very close to your natural brow hair color or one shade lighter. The 05 Deep Brown is ideal for those with dark brown to black hair.

The product description does not explicitly state that this pencil is waterproof. For enhanced longevity or water resistance, you might consider applying a clear brow gel over the pencil.

Yes, the creamy, buildable formula combined with the ultra-slim tip is designed to allow for both subtle, hair-like strokes for a natural look and more layered application for a defined, bold brow.

The integrated spoolie brush is used to comb through your brow hairs, blend the applied pencil product evenly, soften any harsh lines, and tame unruly strands to achieve a neat and polished finish.

While the product offers a creamy, glide-on application, its specific smudge resistance is not detailed. For best results and to minimize smudging, allow the product to set briefly after application and avoid excessive touching of your brows.

This is a mechanical pencil. To extend the tip, gently twist the barrel of the pencil. Do not try to sharpen it like a traditional wooden pencil.

Extend only a minimal amount of the pencil tip (1-2mm) for application. Apply with light, short strokes rather than heavy pressure to prevent breakage.

Reduce the pressure used during application. After applying, use the integrated spoolie brush to thoroughly blend the color through your brows, which will help soften and diffuse the shade.

Apply the product sparingly and in thin layers. Ensure your brows are clean and dry before application. Use the spoolie to brush out any excess product and distribute it more evenly.
