"My favorite brow pencil at the drugstore is this Maybelline Express Brow. I [...] wear the shade deep brown. I'm going to brush up the brow hairs with this and fill it in. I think a brow pencil is a great place to start if you're a beginner."

"This is the Express Brow from Maybelline, and this is the shade Deep Brown. I love that it has a spoolie on the other end. I'm excited to try this. It seems like a very precise pencil, which is great. Wow, I'm filling in my brows with this and it's going on really nicely. It's been a long time since I've tried a new drugstore brow pencil, [...] but that went on really well. Wait, that's really nice. I'm happy about this. That is so nice. Okay, well, I'm happy that I tried that out."

I was losing faith in the drugstore.. UNTIL NOW 😍

"I recently tried this brow pencil from Maybelline and I'm really loving it which is rare for me because I've only really fallen head over heels for the Milani brow pencil. [...] This one is so good though. This is the Express Brow Ultra Slim Pencil and I have mine in the shade deep brown. I love how there's a spoolie on the other side."

THE BEST DRUGSTORE MAKEUP OF 2023

"It's been a long time since I've had new brow products from the drugstore in my yearly favorites, but this is so nice. The pencil itself is so thin. This is the Maybelline Express Brow Ultra Slim Pencil, and I use the shade Deep Brown. It's perfection, it's so beautiful. It's not too waxy, which is a problem I've run into in the past with drugstore brow pencils. It's just so good. I highly recommend trying this if you need a new brow pencil."

"Okay, let's talk about those eyebrows. Terrible idea. Really, really bad idea. [...] You don't want heavy moisturizer on an eyebrow, especially because it will start to eat away at the brow pencil. Brow pencils and brow products aren't made to be on a heavily moisturized part of the face. If you put brow pencil on your nose, for example, or on your forehead, the oil will eat away at it, and you get that feathery brow. Have you ever drawn in the curve of your brow and it starts to feather away?"
