I'm a bit of a brow shy person, and I've had a hard time finding anything that really hits the mark. This Kate product has a good reputation. It's also appealing because you can use both the tip and the pencil. The shade I wanted was sold out, so I decided to play it safe and buy BR-1, but it was a lot darker than I expected. I would have preferred something a little more vibrant, so I'll try using it in a more creative way. The pencil is super fine, so you can draw each individual hair. The tip is just the right hardness, making it easy to blend.
