Billion Dollar Brows Universal Brow Pencil Review

I picked this up when I went over to Australia and starting off, I do like the packaging of it, with the spoolie on one end.

I do find that the claim of 'universal' doesn't work so well for me, with my darker hair and fine brows. It seems to be too brown and whilst it worked, I have found that other brow products work better for me, so personally I won't be repurchasing.

I have been wanting to try the Billion Dollar Brows Universal Brow Pencil for a while, to see how it compared.

The brand boasts of having formulated this pencil to work with all skin tones and hair colours. And to a degree they have. It is a medium brow pencil that would create dark eyebrows for a blonde and light eyebrows for a brunette but still an acceptable shade for both. because I don't like my brows too dark, as a brunette I quite like the shade of this pencil.

What I really love is that it's automatic. No sharpening required here.

It's also worth noting that there is a spoolie at the other end of the pencil.

In terms of wearability, it glides on so much smoother than my previous brow pencil and does last all day. So definitely a quality pencil.

I would definitely consider repurchasing.

This product is a slim pencil that has a spoolie at one end with a see through cover and a crayon at the other end with a black cover. The crayon propells up and snd down by twisting the pencil like lipstick and doesn’t need sharpening. The spoolie is handy to brush and tidy your brows before applying with the crayon and I also used it to finish off and blend the colour. I used brush strokes to apply the crayon to my brows, the more you apply the darker the colour. The crayon glides on easily and works really well and I was pleased with the natural look I created. I have used this product several times now and found it really good, well better than the pencil brows that you have to sharpen. The only thing I didn’t like was that it didn’t last long for me as the product is quite soft and it didn’t seem like there was much in it. It also soils your towel if you are wiping your brow at the gym so I would not recommend doing this!

I was looking for a good eyebrow pencil with a spoolie several months ago and got the BDB Universal Brow Pencil after asking around the forums. My initial concern was really just getting a good spoolie that I can dump in my bag (and not lose) when I’m in a rush to go out. The spoolie was perfectly fine, it was enough to comb my very fine eyebrow hair. However I found the shade a bit too dark for me. I’ve really tried to work with it in so many different ways but it never comes out the way I like it to be. I have tried light strokes following my brow hair, I’ve tried just shading or outlining then shading. It either comes out really drawn (not a fan of hard drawn brows) or half shaded brows. My problem is that if I put a little amount of pressure the strokes really come out harshly, but if I don’t put enough pressure, the pencil won’t draw at all.

I have really fine brow hair but I’ve also had good experiences with brow pencils, except that the products I’ve tried before don’t have a spoolie on them. In saying that, I think it’s because of my fine brow hair that this product doesn’t work on me. More than shading the thicker side of my brows, the ends of my brows need a lot of shaping and filling and this product is not the best for it. I probably won’t buy it again and definitely can’t agree with it being a universal shade, but I can recommend it to other people with thicker/shaped brows that only need a bit of filling.

I bought this originally as part of the All about Eye box from Best Beauty Box Ever. The outside box is tidy and functional but nothing special. When I opened it and saw the pencil I was worried it would be too dark on my very fair eyebrows. But fear not! With a light hand it adds a hint of colour and defines the eyebrows. A little heavier and you have glamour look brows ready to stand up to a full evening smoky eye look. The propelling pencil, self sharpening is great meaning it is always ready to use without needing to have a sharpener available. It is a fairly soft pencil but the first one I had lasted over 6 months. The only two downsides are the brush cover can shatter and it isn't stocked at that many places. I finally found a replacement at Mecca Maxima in Melbourne of all places - which isn't exactly convenient. It is sold online though if you have the patience to wait on delivery

I was lucky and extremely grateful to have won a BDB Starter kit.

This is a universal brow pencil that suits most brow shades.

One end is a wind up pencil with the other end having a spooly at the opposite end to brush/style your brows.

Gently fill in your brows as desired (press gently) and use the brush to blend in.

I would highly recommend this product however I do feel that it is on the higher price end which means that I will be very sad once it's finished.

I got mine in my nude box. Was the first time I have a brow pencil. I didn't use right away as i was not sure about it.month later I thought why not give it a go and was very pleased with it. It just helped make my brows look fuller and better. I would very much recommend to all and will buy and use again.

I received this in a BBBE last year and I was excited by the idea of a "universal brow pencil." I'm almost completely out of this product, and don't think I will be repurchasing.

I love the formula of this product. I find it applys really easily and smoothly, as well as evenly. It lasts all day, without smudging, even when using it without other products. I love how you don't need to sharpen it and the packaging is so stylish.

The reason I won't be repurchasing this, however, is because I find it slightly too dark. My hair is light brown and I have to use a very, very, very light hand when using this, and even then it still doesn't match my hair colour completely. I don't think this would work for you if you had blonde hair.

I think this is a good item to have in a beauty box, because of the idea of a universal brow pencil - even though it didn't really work for me. I also think it would be a good gift idea, and good if you were just starting to do your brows and unsure of what to buy, as it's really easy to use. I love the actual formula of this product though and if they came out with different shades with the same formula I'd definitely buy!
