It’s my favorite brow pencil. Soft color but hard formula. It makes my brows softer, very natural and very long lasting. Very easy to handle but they shipped to you as it’s sharpened in normal pencil form. You would to need shave it into the sword form with a cutter knife, which makes it easier to draw and draw it in a better shape. Just to FYI, I tested on the back of my hand once I received it and before I shaved it but it didn’t show up with color. Color showed up perfectly in softness once I shaved it and it got kicked in after a few strokes. But some colors are always out of stock. That’s the only problem. It’s best to pair up with their brow gel. Love their brow gel too.
