This eyebrow pencil has good pigmentation although it might feel a little bit hard. It does smudge if you accidentally rub against your brows, but if you leave them alone it'll last throughout the day. So far this is the best eyebrow pencil I've tried, so I will stick around till I find a better one. For reference: I bought #2 gray brown, which is a couple of shades lighter than my dark brown/black asian hair so the color won't make your brows look like Shin Chan brows.
