I have used the Anastasia brow pencil for years and finally decided to switch it up. The price point for this product is amazing and the quality is superb. The shape of the barrel is created in such a way that the opening is slanted, ensuring that the pencil always keeps a point. The product itself, though in a pencil format, actually applies a lot like a powder so it's very beginner-friendly. Due to the pointed tip it is very easy to make feather strokes, and the formula is on the drier side, which is nice because all you need in order to vary the color intensity is change the pressure with which you apply this product. All in all, will repurchase.
