Hello everyone! New review on the Milani Brow Tint Pen in Dark Brown.
I picked mine up at Target a few weeks ago and have been using it consistently since then.
I was quite skeptical about using a "brow marker" on my eyebrows, but it actually gives a natural, well defined look to the brows.
Unfortunately, the brow pen has been lost to the dark depths of the messy abyss I call the trunk of my car, but I was able to use it enough to get a good feel of how to use the product.
Since I don't have any pictures to put up, i'll try to be as descriptive as possible! So please bear with me!
LONGEVITY: I used this product during my long 12 hour days as well as a graduation and a few parties. It didn't smudge, color payoff looked just about the same as when I applied it that same morning, just with a tad bit of fading. I would assume that it's not waterproof, but I would say that this lasts a good amount of time. I didn't experience any smudging, either. 9/10
APPLICATION: I imagined the marker and the color payoff to be similar to that of a regular crayola marker from my childhood days. But this actually comes off as an almost "faded-brown" so it isn't an intense dark-brown shade and in my opinion, looks very natural. The marker is thin, and I found it to be a bit difficult to get used to. The felt tip was wearing down a bit, but that is to be expected with constant use. 9/10
IS IT WORTH IT? I purchased the product for roughly $6 USD with .07 oz/2.1 grams of product, and I would say I would repurchase it after I go through my list of brow products to try. For those of you with thin sparse brows, I think that this product would really help you in easily creating great looking arches because of the natural look it gives. My brows are quite full, but I find that this gives me a good amount of color and definition to really keep my brows looking freshly done up. TRY IT!
--This product comes in two shades, Taupe and Dark Brown. If you have medium-dark brown/black hair, the brow tint in Dark Brown would work best for you. Anything lighter, I would probably go for Taupe, but that's just for reference and to stay on the safe side if you are purchasing these online.--
UPDATE- 8-29-2012: I've used this product consistently and it still seems to have enough product to last me another month or so. So far, it has not dried out. Be sure to store it horizontally!
