Faces Ultime Pro Brow Defining Pencil Review, Swatches
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.

Overall, I am
extremely pleased with this easy-to-use,
perfect shade and long staying eyebrow pencil. I would repurchase this if I
do not get anything better the next time J Have you used Faces Ultime Pro Brow Defining Pencil?
