Hello all,
I have been using Dior's Sourcils Poudre for years, for drawing in my sparse brows. I like it because it is all contained in a pencil and easy to control, even for a klutzy person like myself. The texture is powdery and not waxy at all, so the results are very natural, especially after I go through my brows with the brush at the other end of the pencil. It stays put all day too, until I am ready to clean it off.
However, I am really hoping to find a cheaper alternative. Been considering Lancome's but reviews from another website says they are more prone to breaking when you try to sharpen them.
Any recommendations? Any favourite eyebrow pencils with similar qualities? It would be good to find something with all the good points but at a less steep price (about $37). |

| Have you tried any of the eyebrow felt tip pens? I used to use Lancome's powder eyebrow pencil and liked it but I like the marker pen type much better. Looks more natural depending on the color. Laura Geller makes one and there is a cheaper one by Milani. Make sure you replace the cap tightly and store point down to prevent drying out |

Thanks for the suggestion. The reviews for Annastasia sound promising, so that is something I want to try next.
Actually on Sephora, all the brow pencils, including the Dior one, are better priced than the online merchant I had been buying from (s*********net.com). It looks like a few of teh highly rated pencils are in the price range. I will probably go to Sephora next time then! |

What do you like more about the marker-type pens, over the dryer, more powdery ones? I do not have a steady hand at all, and my experience is that the softer ones give uneven, blotchy and often too-dark results, because I cannot maintain an even pressure when applying.
For me, the powder type pencils are more forgiving, allowing me to go over the area multiple times to build to the effect I want, and still give a natural, feathered look, without appearing too heavy. |

| I have bald patches in my eyebrows and with the narrow tip I can draw individual hairs. I also have most of the outer third of my brows gone, maybe every third hair, so I can draw in the hairs and it looks very natural. If you buy from Ulta, CVS or RiteAid you can return it if you don't like it or exchange for a different color. |
