The world of makeup is full of products that make our lives easier. And this industry not only comes with the aim of enhancing and improving our face, but also helps us correct imperfections, hide some less desirable features and even cope with insecurities that limit us in day-to-day life.

However, not all that glitters is gold and an effective makeup requires a certain knack, practice and even theory. At times, it is useless to choose the most expensive or best-rated product if you don’t know how to use it correctly. And, specifically, there are cosmetics that require some technique; otherwise, the result can be a disaster. This is what happens with the eyebrow pencil.

We all know how to apply lipstick or mascara, but when it comes to eyebrows, things aren’t so simple. Filling in, covering sparser areas or drawing a balanced design that fits the harmony of the face usually seems a task reserved for professional makeup artists. Doing your eyebrows without going overboard can be one of the great challenges of make-up.

However, there are options on the market that help achieve results worthy of expert hands. And the best example is the eyebrow pencil we’re talking about today. It is a product that stands out for several reasons: it has an easy-to-use format, a formulation and pigmentation simple to work with and blend, natural colors that adapt to almost all hair tones and an affordable price that makes it even more attractive.

In addition, it has the backing of a professional makeup artist. We’re talking about one of María Nebrera’s latest tips, who has declared herself an absolute fan of the Micro Blade Brow Pen by Catrice. According to her, it is a wonderful product, one of her all-time favorites and a staple in her makeup bag for how easy it is to use.

The makeup artist assures that with this type of product there is no need to resort to professional microblading, since it allows you to create natural-looking brows every morning. Its very fine-tipped applicator achieves an almost imperceptible stroke, mimicking real hair and facilitating a uniform and precise result in the daily routine.

It is, in short, that cosmetic to turn to even in a hurry, knowing the result will be right. In addition, its waterproof formula resists sweat and water without smudges or transfers throughout the day. It has a liquid texture, a matte finish and quick-drying, ideal for those seeking defined and well-groomed brows.

It is available in several shades of brown that easily adapt to different brow colors and, best of all, its price: you can find it in stores like Primor or Druni for about 4 euros. A long-lasting and effective staple that is hard to fault.

If you liked the idea and are willing to pay a bit more, then you have to grab the Mighty Fine Brow Pen by Benefit Cosmetics (35 euros at Sephora). If, besides precision, you seek speed, this pencil with the market’s thinnest triple-tip fills in the brows instantly and imitates their natural look, leaving a complete and defined finish that lasts for hours.
