ETUDE Drawing Eye Brow 0.25g #5 Grey | Long Lasting Eyebrow Pencil | Soft Textured Natural Daily Look Eyebrow Makeup

My FAVE of all eyebrow pencils! Has a wide side and also a more narrow side and makes the perfect addition to eyebrows! I love the BROWNISH GRAY COLOR as it looks so natural! Also has a brus on the applicator!!!!!

I am in my mid-40s with (prematurely) full-on silver hair which I love and do not dye, but it makes finding an eyebrow product challenging. My brows are still totally brown, a dark, ash brown, but see-through and sparse since I hit my 40s. My coloring is low contrast - I have fair skin and blue eyes. (I have been color analyzed a "soft summer") THIS is the brow product I'll be re-ordering, the No. 5 Grey, which is their light gray shade. I tried many, many brow products, both pencil and powder. The problem is that they are nearly all either too dark or too warm. Almost all brown, taupe, or blond brow products go orange on me. Not a match. The cooler dark brown, soft black, and charcoal gray products I tried are just too dark for my soft coloring. Looks like I drew my brows on with a Sharpie black marker. Etude House's light gray pencil is truly gray - almost too cool for me but preferable to the many too warm shades. Even though it's "light" it does darken my natural brows a bit. The color really isn't a perfect match to my brows themselves, but it does match my hair color pretty nicely. The tip of the texture is angled but "fat" - if you're looking for a precision pencil to draw on individual hairs, this is not for you! You are not going to be able to create those on fleek, Instagram brows with this pencil. I think of it more like a shadow for my brows - adding that shadow gives my sparse brows a more filled-in, healthy look. I prefer a more natural makeup look, as opposed to a makeup-y look, so this works for me. It's pretty easy to use - just scribble in your brows and then use the convenient spoolie on the other end to comb through your brows and soften the look. It's a twist-up pencil, so no sharpener needed. The texture is pretty hard and waxy, as expected. I like my brow pencil hard and waxy. It does fade somewhat by the end of a long day, but it doesn't run or smear on me (I live in a cool climate though.) I'm not sure how long it will last or if it will dry out at some point, but I've been using it for about a month so far with no issues.

It’s darker than I expected.

UPDATE: 3/25 I ordered the gray pencil as I have been doing for years and years, and received the gray brown pencil instead. The gray brown pencil I received was wrapped completely around with a white sticky label that said Gray on the white sticky label. When I opened it up and used it, it was a very warm brown color and clearly not my usual gray. I peeled off the white sticky label and sure enough underneath the sticky label it clearly says gray brown. I am having to return it to UPS to ship it back. I am glad it is free to ship back, but what are they gonna do with it – repackage it and resell it after I used it? This experience was a pain in the butt and I am very disappointed because this has always been my favorite eyebrow pencil, but I like it so much, I am going to go ahead and order again in hopes they get it right this time…I am too old to run around without eyebrows! This works very well for me. As a pale-skinned, natural red-head who has now gone silver-gray, I’ve struggled to find the right brow color and the right product to fill in sparse brows that are also turning silver. The auburn brow gel I used for years while still a red-head no longer worked at all with my silver hair and the taupe and blonds I tried did not look good either. I was skeptical about trying a charcoal gray brow pencil for fear it would be too dark, but to my surprise this brow pencil is PERFECT for me! I even ordered a second pencil to keep in my purse. It’s easy to use, goes on smoothly and stays on fairly well. I do sometimes reapply or touch-up later in the day. I wish they had a companion brow gel or mascara to go with this color.

use all the time. color works well with white/grey hair

I finally found an eyebrow pencil that's the perfect color for me and at a decent price! I really wanted to love everything about it, but I can't say that I do. Yes, the color is perfect, and that's a big plus for me, after having tried multiple eyebrow pencils, powders, etc. I'm not wild about the "applicator" though. It's plastic, and twists up, but the end of it is angled, so you have to be sure to have the pencil facing the right way when applying, or just the plastic is touching your skin. If you twist it up far enough not to have that problem, the "lead" breaks off. But I like the color enough to work with that problem. My other gripe is that it tends to crumble, leaving particles in my brows. I use the attached spoolie brush to brush the crumbs away. I think this would be better as an actual pencil that could be sharpened, and if the crumbling problem was solved, but like I said, finding the perfect color was difficult enough that I'm willing to work around the problems, even though I'm not 100% happy with the product.

After letting my highly lightened originally dirty blonde hair grow out to its natural grey/blonde (greige), as opposed to originally having brown to dark brown or blackish hair grown out to a steelish grey, I have been searching for an eyebrow pencil in the greige tone...forever. Many grey pencils have either too dark a tone, or have a blueish tone to them. I had considered microblading, but because my skin is very sensitive, the nickel in the dye from microblading was not an option for me. So, I finally found Etude House Eye Brow pencil and was reluctant at first because of my past experiences with a very wrong brow color. I looked at the options and decided to give the #5 a try. My oh my, am I happy! This is THE perfect choice for a once blonde, now gray headed person whose brows were there but unseen before this wonderful pencil! Easy to use, with outstanding results and very inexpensive... checks all the boxes for me! Sent for 2, so glad I did. Things like this change so often, at least I’m good for a while.

Long lasting

Excellent! Easy to apply & the colour is perfect.

finalmente ho trovato una matita per sopracciglia del mio colore, morbida al punto giusto e tende sul grigio come le mie sopracciglia. top

El lapiz lo encontre bastante grueso para mi gusto y para lo que estaba acostumbrada a utilizar. Pero al cabo del tiempo te acostumbras a este... no esta mal al final me ha gustado. Quizas vuelva a comprarlo. Tampoco esta mal de precio para lo que es.

This is a real game changer. .The grey goes much better with my white hair than the light blonde I was using.
