   I got this on ebay for something like £4? Definitely worth it !

   I used to use brow powder because I thought using pencil would be unnatural.

   Pros:

   -Defined brows
   -Very natural looking (for people with black eyebrows)
   -Easy to use
   -spooly works really well at blending and making brow look as natural as possible
   -cute packaging

   Cons:
   – can’t think of any!

   I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this eyebrow pencil yet! I’ve had it for a few months and just to reiterate what everyone else has said, it’s hard to find eyebrow products catered towards us Asians with black hair. My eyebrows are very full just EXTREMELY light so it’s a constant struggle to find something to fill them in without my eyebrow hairs looking all crazy. This is my go to brow pencil – it gives just the right amount of tint and looks very natural. Overall, it’s an average product, not phenomenal. I find that the pencil itself is actually quite thick which is useful when my eyebrows are full but when I get them done, I find it difficult to use this pencil. I wouldn’t repurchase because Anastasia just released the Brow Wiz in Granite! Finally, they show grey brows some love! I’ve been loving that one a lot.

   Judging by the reviews already posted, I guess it’s safe to say that finding appropriately colored eyebrow pencils for those of us with black hair is A STRUGGLE. Many browns appear too red, taupes too sandy, and well, black just too darn stark looking for some of us. Grey products have most certainly been my salvation ever since I discovered that they exsisted at all but just because some pencils are the correct shade doesn’t mean that they are all created equally.
   For starters, the consistency and color of this pencil are perfect. Lioele’s Aritst Eyebrow Pencil in Gray Black is, well, gray! For people with black hair! They made it pretty easy on us with the shade name, huh? This pencil is pigmented while still being very natural looking and it’s neither too hard nor too waxy. It’s just right. As mentioned, the color is a nice shade of medium gray and is truly undetectable on my eyebrows at all. There are no weird undertones that peek out once the pencil is applied either and it wears all day without incident on me.
   The pencil mechanism of Lioele’s Artist Eyebrow Pencil reminds me a lot of the Hourglass Arch Brow and I’m genuinely thinking that these are truly a dupe for the uber expensive Cle De Peau La Beaute Enigmatique Eyebrow Pencils as well. Not only do the pencils’ cases look exactly the same but the shades also appear to be very similar. That said, you can find this neat little pencil on eBay for around $7 dollars which is several times less than either of the aforemented pencils are. Sure, it takes a good while to ship from Korea but considering the price compared to other similar pencils and the rarity of the shade, I think it’s a great deal.
   The actual pencil is triangular or wedge shaped and is really excellent for getting a very soft fill across a wider area, particularly so for those with brows that are more sparse and carry less of an arch. For my own brows, which are quite thick and a bit more angular in shape, I prefer to use the pointed tip which on my pencil has become blunt and less effective over time. Don’t get me wrong, I like this pencil a lot but for my particular brows, I can’t help but think I prefer narrow tapered tips on my auto pencils more because they make it easier for me to mimic hair in spots where my own hairs are a little lacking. I guess it’s worth mentioning also that I’m not the biggest fan of the spoolie attached to the end of this pencil. I’m glad that it’s an actual spoolie versus a useless comb or something like that but the bristles are a little too soft and flextible for wrangling my wiley eyebrows.

   That said, if you’re in the market for a nice gray eyebrow pencil and don’t mind the shipping time, I say go for it! It’s about the same price as the NYX Charcoal Auto Eyebrow Pencil, which while the NYX pencil is perhaps more readily available, in my opinion it’s just not as great quality as Lioele’s. Will I repurchase or not? Hmm. I can’t really say. I like this pencil quite a bit but I’m still on the hunt for an HG. I guess time and what my budget allows will tell!
