Faces Ultime Pro Brow Defining Pencil Review


Don’t you agree that undefined eyebrows can destroy any look however good the rest of the makeup is? Even on a no-makeup face, just a pair of groomed eyebrows can make you look fresh even at the end of a long tiring day. On 80% of my days, I go out without any trace of makeup on my face except some moisturizer, a tinted lip balm and groomed brows. So, brow products are extremely important for me. I always prefer brow powders (or a brown eyeshadow) more than pencils or pomades since powders give a more natural look. Even then, brow products from Maybelline like the Fashion Brow cream eyebrow pencil (read review HERE) and Fashion Brow Pomade (Read review HERE) worked quite well for me and I have finished up those already. Faces Canada Ultime Pro Brow Defining Pencil was a recent pick from Nykaa since I needed to stock up my brow product J Read on to find out more

Packaging: The pencil comes housed inside a matte black carton with silver lettering. It is a sharpenable pencil with a eyebrow spoolie brush at the other end. I found this very helpful as this means we do not have to carry extra spoolie brush with us when we travel. Also, since the brand claims that the pencil has a “gel finish” (almost pomade like), a brush is a necessity to brush off extra product and shape the brows after filling in the pigment. The bristles of the spoolie are somewhere between soft and hard- Not too soft, neither too hard.

Shade and texture: The one thing which irked me is that there is only one shade available in this brow pencil: Brown. But it was a relief that the brown was not a warm brown like the Sivanna 3D Waterproof brows Secret (Read reviewHERE) which is not wearable on my skin tone at all. The Faces Ultime Pro Brow Defining Pencil is a cool-toned grey-ish brown which matches very well with my soft black sparse brow hair. This shade would work across most Indian complexion’s brow hair.

Swatch: Faces Ultime Pro Brow Defining Pencil Review

The texture is gel-like smooth pencil which can be a bit too much if not used light-handedly. This was the mistake I did the first time I used this pencil. I used this pencil as I use other brow pencils with normal strokes and ended up depositing too much product on the brows leaving them with a “heavy” feeling. I was even disappointed that it turned out waxy. But I could correct this next time when I used it with very light-handed strokes and then brushing off the excess with the spoolie.
The product took about 15-20 seconds to set and after that it was totally smudgeproof. I wore it for my baby shower function for 8 hours after which I used coconut oil to remove it. It had stayed intact during the time. I was extremely pleased at how natural yet “photo-friendly” my brows looked.

After Application: Faces Ultime Pro Brow Defining Pencil Review

 I had threaded my eyebrows two days prior the function and the parlor lady just murdered my already thin brows. You can see the bald patches in the “Before” images below L Also notice how “naturally” the pencil filled everything up.
