My Favorite!
I have this pencil in Taupe, and it’s perfect now that my hair is darker at the roots. I have fair-to-light, neutral skin, and my hair is dark/dirty blonde, balayaged with beige and platinum blonde shades (bade/roots are neutral level 5-6, balayage range from 7-10). Even thought my natural hair color is dark/dirty blonde, my eyebrows are very light, bordering on invisible when I’m not wearing brow product.
I should note: When I was cool-platinum all over, Taupe looked dark and unntural, but Blonde was too warm. However, now that I have a mix of levels and undertones in my hair, Taupe is perfection! It’s not too dark and it’s not overly cool or warm. It does pull slightly warm, but only just enough not to look ashen or dull. As far as the formula goes, I personally think it’s amazing! I have terrible hot flashes/sweats, even in the winter, and it stays put all day without smudging or migrating. It’s a stiffer/waxier formula than some other pencils, but it doesn’t skip or feather during application. The firmness makes it very versatile...I can use a light hand and not get too much pigment when I’m pale in the winter months, but it builds effortlessly for when I need a bit more color during summer. The “sword” design makes application a breeze, and the spoolie is well made and sturdy without being scratchy. You also get a refill with each pencil. Yes, it’s speedy, but well worth the money to have a solid staple in my routine!
