Shu Uemura Hard Formula eyebrow pencil<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Shu Uemura Hard Formula <\/strong>eyebrow pencil is an eyebrow pencil, just like others. However, what makes it rather unique is that if you were to draw it on your hand there isn’t much colour payoff. Most people have discounted it because of this, as they felt that it wouldn’t do anything for their brows.<\/p>\n

However, try drawing directly on your brows and you’ll notice that there is colour payoff after all. The colour grabs onto the hairs of your brows and adds colour and volume. As it doesn’t show up much on the skin, it looks more natural than if it were just drawn directly on the skin. Also because its not drawn on the skin, I find that stays on a long time, even until the end of the day, without budging much.<\/p>\n

The colours available are also quite good. The browns are very natural and don’t look garish. Unless you have very dark hair, you might not want to go for a black pencil, as it would look too stark.<\/p>\n

This pencil can be sharpened just like a normal pencil, with a sharpener. However, I take mine to the Shu Uemura counter to get the sales assistants to sharpen it for me. Its a service they provide for free. What they do is use a pen-knife and sharpen it to a broad flat shape. I find it makes it easier to draw and I’m less likely to make mistakes that result in stiff unnatural looking brows. You could probably do it at home yourself, but I dare not. I’ll try to take a picture to show what I mean soon.<\/p>\n

It retails for about RM50<\/strong> or so <\/strong>at all Shu Uemura counters. Pretty steep pricing for an eyebrow pencil but it will last you a long long time.<\/p>\n

Pros: Long lasting, Easy to use<\/p>\n

Cons: Rather pricey<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
