   I passionately hate it.
   The packaging is gorgeous. The tip of the pencil is very fine, perfect for drawing hair-like strokes. The only problem that makes it unusable for me is the hardness of the tip. My skin is dry, but I have to press really hard for the color to show up. I even swatched other shades at Sephora, and non of them drew a line without a firm​ pressure. In this regard, Benefit is quite similar to Kevyn Aucoin and the pencil part of Urban Decay brow blade. Dior pencil has the same ultra-fine tip and by far superior performance.

   This is my 2nd one; I rarely find a pencil which matches my hair perfectly so I happily repurchased (well, happily at 1/2 off during the Ulta sale.)
   2.75 is a GREAT match for redheads. Many touted towards we ginger folk tend to be either too cool (ashy) or warm (orange.) At the risk of sounding like Goldilocks this is just right.
   As a side note I tried the Fenty pencil and it was perfect shade wise but the application was awful. This glides on well and stays put.
   My gripe is that it doesn’t seem to last long and I’m not heavy handed with applying (I prefer to fill in mimicking brow hairs.) At the full price it doesn’t seem feasible to buy one a month or however long the 1st one lasted, but maybe if I use it sparingly… At any rate natural redheads know the frustration of finding a decent match and this certainly fits the bill.

   There’s a lot to like about Benefit Precisely, My Brow brow pencil.

   For one, the packaging is super cute and different than any brow pencil I’ve ever owned before. There’s a spoolie on one end and the product on the other end that you can twist up and down. I also like that the pencil is super fine so I can really get a defined brow or draw in hair strokes.

   However, I’m a little on the fence about this product. The formula feels a lot waxier than the ABH Brow Wiz pencil while the ABH Brow Wiz is a pencil but feels/looks like more powdery finish. I do feel that the formula can tend to build up at certain spots where hair is sparse so it doesn’t really give you an even look. I do like that the spoolie feels like its very good quality. Benefit’s brow pencil is also an extra $3 compared to ABH which is only $21.

   I have both the travel size so I can put it into my daily makeup bag just in case I need a touch up or I’m running late and need to do my brows. On the fence about repurchasing this but if you’re in the market or a new brow pencil or just want to try what’s out there, definitely give this a try.

   This is a good brow pencil. It has a nice small, slim tip that’s perfect for outlining my brows. It glides on smooth and doesn’t easily break. It ,also, lasts all day but I don’t usually have a problem with that. Nice color range and packaging. Pencils like these don’t last long for me. Even though I like this, I won’t repurchase. There’s too many affordable options that work just as well. But if you don’t mind the price, it’s worth a try.

   Pros:
   Creamy, smooth formula.
   Nice color range.
   Good spoolie and packaging.
   Long lasting on the brows.
   Doesn’t streak or cake up.
   Doesn’t frequently break.

   Cons:
   I go through this product fast and it’s not cheap.
   Easily duped by more affordable pencils.

   I like it and if it’s on sale I’ll repurchase.

   This is the best makeup purchase I have made in a while. I was looking for something that is quick and easy to use and long lasting, and looks natural. Check for all those boxes. I`ve bought one in 3.5 in the beginning of August and have used it every day, so about a month and two weeks, and I haven`t run out. It was used on treks in Rome on steamy days and at the beach (no, I didn`t swim with it, so can`t say it`s waterproof), and the product stayed put. I have very sparse brows, so I was impressed that that thin nub goes such a long way. I think the key is to use it to make very soft, hair-like strokes. The SAs I saw at the Sephora in Rome had very harsh, blocky brows drawn on, so if you use it like that, for those Instagram brows, then you might run out of it quickly. However, I didn`t find that to be the case, even though I have sparse, plucked 90`s brows, which I fill in with light strokes to mimic hair. Have already purchased 3 backups.

   This is a great brow pencil! I like it so much better than the ABH one. The product itself works great. I use the color 3, and it is perfect for me. Not red, not ashy, just a nice neutral brown that looks good with my medium brown hair. The fine point is easy to work with, I find the formula smooth, but not TOO soft, and it does not smudge during the day. The packaging is especially fabulous. The spoolie is great. There is one negative that keeps me from giving this a five–there is not much product. I was surprised, but I guess I shouldn’t have been with how thin the pencil is. I got this as part of a large set that made it a great deal. I don’t know if it is worth the price on its own just based on that. But if that wouldn’t bother you, and based just on quality, then yes, it’s definitely worth purchasing.

   One of the things I really like about this product is the packaging. There’s a spooley one end and your brow pencil on the other tip. Makeup companies, please take note and follow suit! It’s compact and travel-friendly. The product itself isn’t bad. The shade just wasn’t a perfect match for me so I will have to pass on repurchasing again. I do find that you don’t get a whole lot of product so I finished using it in less than 3 weeks. Needless to say with the high price point and lack of shades I most likely will have to skip this.

   This brow pencil is amazing. I have almost black brow hairs and I use number 6. It matches my brow hairs perfectly. It never smudges on me, and lasts the entire day. The formula isn’t too creamy or heavy, it is actually quite light but pigmented when applied. I feel that this brow pencil is better than the ABH one I was using beforehand. The physical pencil portion is nice and thin, allowing me to fill in sparse areas of my brows very easily and naturally. I have bought this pencil twice now because of how much I love it. I would definitely recommend.

   This is a holy grail for my eyebrows. I used to be in deep in love with MAC’s eyebrow pencils in Lingering, but they have changed the formula. This is precise, frim, yet soft, looks absolutely natural, not reddish but warm enough for my auburn hair with cool brown eyebrows. It is smudge proof and keeps its “contour” all day long. Thank God I have found a new love that’s even better!!!

    Packaging: Useful as one of the ends is a spoolie which helps brush the brows & blends the product. Also there’s options to buy the travel size too which is handy if you want to try it before purchasing the larger size or if you travel often. However i found the travel size version to last not even 2 weeks. So far the larger size has lasted over a month & still plenty of product left ( i use this almost everday!)

    Product: Not too waxy & not too pigmented. I have bright blonde hair & found shade 2 to match me however it is bit warm toned so i would suggest to go instore to get matched. Glides on effortlessly. Not really long lasting however & smudges easily

    I would buy again as i do enjoy the product however i will be on the hunt for a dupe as it is pricey here in the UK ranging from £20-25
