I've ended up using it in combination with my Anastasia Dip Brow in attempt to salvage it, and will fill in some areas after using that product, as well as define my brow shape by turning it vertically to create one line. t it does really well anyway…I was expecting it to give a microblade effect because of the three applicator tips, but the product barely comes out and definitely not in 3 brush-like strokes, as it's supposed to. If you have any moisture on your brows at all, even a light sweat or other products like moisturizer or primer, it won't work at all, not tha.
I thought the concept of this brow product was brilliant and that it would be my new favorite brow makeup, easy to use & make perfect looking brows, but nope.

I would be inclined to purchase this in a medium or dark brown and try it out for more full makeup looks. Unlike some makeup products I would say there is not a steep learning curve. It's hard to overdo the brow because it is so sheer, so going over until I get the amount I want is simple and not too time consuming. Now with it being summer, hot, and all the social distancing I've been pretty lazy about much face makeup like foundation, concealer etc, and this works very nicely to give a groomed but natural brow appearance. So it had to be used first before any other face products. I had the least pigment placement, the tip got gunked with products and had the least staying power. This way I don't worry about powdering them by accident, stray foundation etc. Usually if I'm doing full makeup brows are one of my last steps.
I also experimented with what point in makeup application I used it to see if one way is better than another. First day I used it I ended up spending a lot of time outside, got quite greasy and sweaty and that evening there was very little left. It claims to be smudge proof and waterproof. It IS buildable and I was able to go over a few times to darken it enough to get a nice amount but doing so you lose that "microblade" effect of the 3 pronged marker tip. However this light brown is REALLY light, more suited for someone with very blonde hair.
My hair is dark brown but my eyebrows are light brown, and typically a dark blonde or light brown brow pencil is enough to darken my brow without looking like sharpie. I did not get the color I need, unfortunately, as the light brown did not have nearly enough pigment.
I was not paid for my review and this is my honest and unbiased opinion. I received this light brown Benefit microfilling brow pen for testing, complimentary, as part of a product testing program.
