Hi Tara, have you ever heard of this before? So the issue I have with most brow pens is that the color literally turns green on my skin after a few hours - almost like it oxidizes especially if there’s any foundation or if I’ve been sweating. It like it turns green if the product mixes with the oil in my skin. It’s just awful! The only one that doesn’t do this is the Stila one in medium - only bcz it almost has a super cool almost grayish hue to it, but it’s not as juicy of a pen as others.
Maybe try to powder the area well before you go in and what i would do if i had your problem is the following ..make sure the area you want to fill in is well powdered. Then i would map out with a soft pencil maybe even with a soft brow powder but very lightly and then i would use the brow pen. Doing it this way, you create a sort of a barrier between your skin and the product and the least chance of oxidizing, also i would set my face with a face setting spray, the charlotte tilbury one is very good, hope this helps
@@briannamoore315 - yes! I’ve found it’s actually worse too if I powder the area 1st. There’s something about makeup, powder & the oil of my skin mixing with the ink in the brow pens that turn the shades green 🤮. It’s why I didn’t respond to the recommendation above to use powder lol. But I now use a q-tip w/either hot water or makeup remover on it & run it through my brows to make sure there’s NOTHING in or around them before going in w/brow products. It seems to help. Additionally, I’ve since found a brow pen that’s far less inclined to turn green on me since I made this initial post - it’s NYX Lift & Snatch brow pen in ash brown. Have you tried it yet? I fill in the tail w/a pencil then draw some hairs in w/the NYX pen & it hasn’t turned green on me (YET🤞). I’ve also incorporated the Almay brow gel in the dark brown too. That stuff is great for thickening & adding hold. Im just sharing what I’ve been using more recently that has definitely helped with that issue. I’ve changed up my brow game since I made this post. ☺️ Have a great weekend!
Brows are the least favorite part of my makeup routine! It’s always so stressful because I never know how they’re going to turn out. I might give these pens a try, thank you for the reviews!
The lime crime pens are phenomenal. I’ve had two shades from them for almost a year now and it still hasn’t dried out. Mind blowing! Doesn’t bleed, applies beautifully, it is THEE brow pen!
OMG! This is the best brow technique VDO for girls with sparse eyebrows! I have been your regular fan for a while. Usually, I love watching your foundation, concealer, and CT products reviews, but I didn’t know you also review brow stuff. I’ve always admired your review because you’re very detail-oriented and genuine, no matter what product you review. Thank you so much for working so hard on delivering a high-quality quality content
What I love about youtube is seeing women my age, with my type of brows. Showing me the product and how it works on them. This is so helpful 🙂I hope you have your skincare routine posted ❣️you are such pretty lady!
Ahhhh, you're so sweet. Thank you so much❤ I love having a UA-cam Channel connecting with other women my age. It's a family, and I love it❤ Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting it means a lot too me🦋 P.S. i have a skin care playlist, you can definitely check out how I achieved a natural glow to my skin and how I maintain it❤❤ Thanks again, XOXO
I'm sure you're the first influencer that has done a vid/tutorial on more than 2 brow pens and that's so helpful as well as, as usual, totally thorough. I'm blonde and have fairly light blonde eyebrows but with age from the arch I've lost all my brow hairs :( and it's such a pain trying to extend my natural brows and make them look "real". I bought the UD brow blade and the pencil color is fine but the pen tip just doesn't even show up and I purchased it for the pen part! I like my brows a lightish brown (no red nor grey undertones) to frame the eye as blonde is too light to do this. What would you recommend for my situation as I'm probably in the minority but it also might help others like me too? So happy to see you're all better and back to your usual happy, charismatic self. xoxo
I find that the benefit is like a watercolor. As it dries it will darken but definitely need to go to the darkest color with it. Brow blade is my favorite for actual hair like strokes but it does bleed too. It all depends on the density of your brows. The benefit is great to shade when you have a lot of brows and want to darken a little bit. I want to try the Glossier.
This was such a great video, Tara! I love the way the brow pens look. I think when the individual hairs are drawn in, the brows look so super beautiful compared to just coloring over them with a pencil. I know it’s not an easy process by any means and I really appreciate all your hard work on these recommendations. These pens can be so expensive and it’s such a bummer when you pay all that money for one that just doesn’t work for whatever reason.
For me the struggle is always finding the right color. I feel like a lot of the browns are too warm toned or reddish. I use the glossier one in black -I like the urban decay but haven’t found the right color yet. I actually found that the first one I got was way too light
Lol I picked up on that too but, that just goes to show how ridiculous I am when it comes to makeup lol. at least u have a channel! What’s my excuse lol 🤦🏻♀️
Brow pens are definitely the best and, for me, the easiest ways to do my brows. Thanks to Lisa Eldridge, my first pen was the Suqqu one. I love this particular one, it's very fine, great shades and lasts ages without drying out. I've used the new Benefit pen and, like you, I don't like it. I don't have the same control with it, You've knocked this vid right out of park, brilliant! 💞🌸💞🌸💞🌸💞
@@PinCushionQueen at the time I was just getting back into makeup and had no idea it was a high end product 🙈. Add that to the mistakes I made, just getting used to doing brows was hilarious, and you could easily see a real rookie in action 😂😂. xx
GREAT video! You really broke it down. My favorite brow pen on the NYX Lift & Snatch in taupe and blonde. BUT sometimes, they bleed in the areas where I have no hair and forehead wrinkles. Annoying lol. AND they dry up in about 1-2 months. I have loved them though. I'm gonna give the Lime Crime a shot bc of this video.
Thank you so much. I like to be thorough in reviews, so I'm happy it was helpful 😁❤️ I started using the Glossier Brow Flick again (because I had it on hand) and it's a good one to that doesn't bleed. But my next purchase will be lime crime again😁
The comparison photo of all the brands was SUPER helpful! Also appreciated how you tested each brand on different days and discussed the merits of each.
This is a very helpful video, my eyebrows are thin and messed up from plucking/waxing as a teenager and been wanting to find the best product to fill my eyebrows in to get a more natural look than just coloring them on.
Ahhh, thank you so much💋❤ You know me. I'm detailed Nelly 🤪😁 Makes a longer video, but that's what time stamps are for🙌🙌💋💋 Thank you for watching my friend💋
Tara I love your videos! I am bad at brows and I have tried the urban decay, Anastasia and Benefit. I LOVE love the benefit, and I think it’s because even the dark brown color is actually quite light compared to the other pens, and the ink doesn’t flow out a lot, so I can use a heavier hand for my dark (but thin haired) brows, and It looks soo natural. My brows just need filling in and also have a very obvious growth direction so it’s easy to angle the three tips correctly. The other pens in dark colors are way too dark and I can’t manage to make individual strokes look realistic or very even.
I've used ABH and Urban Decay and both of these formulas can dry out so easily. I've had brand new products that were already dried out. Thank you for this review. I'm gonna try the Lime Crime!
I know what you mean😫 I wish Glossier would come out with more than 3 shades. But, Lime Crime is a great pen. This is an older video of mine, but i keep it up, hoping it's still helpful. 🙏
Have you tried the Suqqu brow pen? I used to love the Anastasia one before they updated it. Now, I've stuck to the suqqu pen because it's so thin and precise. I think there's some videos here on UA-cam on it.
Girl, LimeCrime has bomb ass lippies & even eyeshadows are good.. imo. i love the shades of their nudes & pink lips. some palettes are so thought through. they're a really good brand fr
This was so incredibly helpful!!! I haven't tried a pen before and it's shaped like the benefit one, so I really didn't realize I needed to hold it at an angle like you did, so the tutorial was just as beneficial as the rest of the video. Thank you for taking the time to go so in depth with all of these!!!! You are so thorough and well I just really really appreciate it!!! I hope you and your family are all healthy, happy, and safe!!
I’ve been on the fence about trying out a brow pen and I nearly bought the UD one several times. After seeing this, I think I will try it and thanks for the feedback on the shades being darker. This video was SUPER helpful so THANK YOU for all your hard work and compiled thoughts and recommendations. You rock Tara!!! 🧡
My favorite is Abh Brow Pen. I even use it to line my wing on my eyes! Abh has the best brow products imho. Love your review videos tara. Dnt ever stop
Thank you so much. That is actually a GREAT idea to use it as a Eyeliner. The blade is too thick for my brows but would be perfect for eyeliner. YAY. Thanks for that suggestion (I'm actually don't have a brown liquid Eyeliner 🤪)
@@TaraLynnbeauty Im so glad i can give u a tip because usually i learn so much from you. hehe. may i request for a "whats in my makeup bag" video. so like a makeup bag you carry with you in your purse?
Kudos to you for the most comprehensive eyebrow pen comparisons ever, I am so impressed!! Tara Lynn, I love Suqqu....they have amazing foundations, eyeshadows and blushes. I used Laura Mercier brow powder for decades(literally) and have only switched to Suqqu brow powder in the last year, because I love Suqqu. I have their brushes but use my Sonia G brushes more. If you love Surratt, Suqqu is the same but you get more for less money than Surratt.
My favorite brow pencil is Shu Eumura hard formula pencil! It’s not soft at all and you will never do a boo-boo doing your brows. It’s a waxy formula that leave color on the hair mostly and definitely dumb proof😂 Took me a week or so to get to know this formula but now I am hooked! But overall my holy grail is Tom Ford fiber brow gel!
Thank you for doing this Tara...I bought Benefit in light brown but as a blonde it showed up completely red on my skin & it wasn’t a good look w/my light ash brown brows lol! I’m going to order limecrime thanks to you😘...have a great weekend everyone & stay out of the Cities to avoid these crazy terrorists trying to impose their power over you by blocking roadways & beating you if you don’t repeat what they insist you say! Xo❤️🤍💙💯🇺🇸
I’ve been wanting to try a brow pen for some time now but couldn’t figure out which one to try. This video helped so much. Thanks Tara Lynn. I just ordered the Lime Crime through your link. I look forward to trying it out!
Ahhh, thank you. I'm so glad it was helpful 🙏🙏 I just love brow pens, they are awesome and I can't go back and use a pencil to fill them in. It feels unnatural lol. Good luck and hope you love it. (P.S. it will take a minute to get used too it, but don't give up, you'll get the hang of it💋)
I have most of these pens, my favorite is by Stila (although I think the only one that preforms fabulously is the dark) it lasts for a year+, and has staying power. I like the Glossier, except it turned orange on me (even though I only had it for a few months). The UD Brow Blade, is ok, the ink part started running out within a few weeks, and the pencil part is so hard and waxy without any color payoff. I have only tried lime crime’s brow gel, and it’s really good. I have tried several 3 pronged pens and for some reason they work only the first couple of times, then they stop.
I've always wanted to try the Stila pen. Good too know, thanks for that tip❤❤❤ Lasting a year is freaking amazing 🙌🙌🙌 Thanks for all your input, it's sooooo helpful for everyone in the comment section💋❤ Have a great weekend my friend 🦋
So glad I watched your video. I have the Benefit Micro Brow Pen but agree on everything you said. I will try the lime crime because of your review. You saved me a ton of time and $. I have started watching your videos and love how detailed you are. Thanks for the hard work.
Can you please let us know the best waterproof brow pencil? I play sports and my face sweats a lot and I want a pencil that won't disappear. Great video!
I tried the L'Oreal brow pen with the 3 blades and I did not like it, for your same reasons and it was way too warm! I would love to try one of these single blade pens that you've shown in this video, I absolutely loved this, you did an amazing job as always!!! your brows look beautiful 😘😘
I thought it was just me on the Benefit pen. I saw several great videos and the lines were so clear and distinct, but it either doesn’t show up or if it does, it is more of a smudge on me. So glad that it isn’t just me. This is my first try with lens so I’ll go with your recommendations. Thank you!
I'm not sure(and I don't want to sound...petty?!), but there may be some misunderstanding- correct me if I'm wrong. At the very beginning, you were holding and talking about your favourite brow pencil and you've said that it was UD, but I think you were holding Benefit one. 🤷🏻♀️I really may ne wrong, but I don't want people to get confused...as I got 😂 Thank you for such thorough, i depth video. I really needed it! You are an amazing creator and we're so lucky to have you on this platform. 🥰
Gosh, I am sooo glad I found you. You are so helpful and thank you for that. Would you ever consider showing how you dye your brows? Thanks again for doing this beautiful sweet lady ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, ya, that's a great idea. Dying my brows is KEY. If you notice, in the first tutorial, my brows were due for some dye. But, the last tutorial was after. It makes a huge difference. I'll definitely put that on my list, thanks hun❤❤❤
Oh great! Just in time, I was really thinking on trying the Anastasia because is easier to buy that the one for Glosier. This video came just in time, I will keep buying and using the glosier brow flick. Thank you!!!!!
Try a fine milled powder, just a tiny bit and make sure you shake it up for a lonngg time. Alot of the browns have green to cancel out the warmth. Most of them swatch green!! Good luck!
I would just like to say you may think you struggle but I think you do great yours have a more natural look than I see on some people. Now I struggle. I am 57 now and my brows have gotten thinning in the very front and the outside tip and grays have grown in. Its very frustrating when I had perfect brows my whole life. I never had to deal with making brows ughhhh
My Mother in law told me to be prepared to lose those thick brows you're working on growing out. Such a bummer (she also told me I would lose my hair in other places too🙈) Thank you for commenting and watching, Have a wonderful week❤🦋💋
Thank you so much for this video I loved the detailed review and applications, you are amazing. I normally just use a brow pencil and then I go in with a tinted brow mascara and I do the hair-like strokes with it. I will be giving the line crime a try. Thank you again
Love this video Tara, I use the ABH Brow Wiz and the Brow Definer. A couple of weeks ago I purchased the ABH Brow pen and having a hard time with it. I'll try your favorite next time around Lime Crime.
Thankyou this was helpful I have ordered the Glossier blade and the lime crime based on what I saw in your video! I had tried some and was not happy with how they worked( or did not) .. your comments about the lighter shades near the eyes was also super helpful thank you!
Great video Tara! I personally have full brows, so I only use Benefit's Gimme Brow or the Elf Wow Brow, but that Lime Crime looked the most natural on you! I'm so glad it came in at number 1!! Appreciate your dedication for such a long video :)
JALE, I'M SO JELLY.... I would love to have thicker brows... And the Brow blades work great for those who have thicker brows. I think it looks so much more natural than pencils💋💋
SO FRICKEN HELPFUL! And I agree on so much of what you said, I’ve been working with the one from ABH lately and I’ve always had a love for the ones from Urban Decay, but it was great to hear this from someone who actually has brows as a pose to my sad little non-existent brows 😂😂😂
Hahaha, girl, you have great brows. .🙌 I've been growing mine out for a year now (using it twice a day), and they are finally getting thicker.. Glad the video was helpful, love you pookie❤ p.s. I'll be responding to your Marco tomorrow. Today has been one SHIIIITTY DAY 😢🤪
oh, i’m soooo here for this!!! i have very chronic arthritis and my hands and wrists are severely contracted, so brow pens are hard for me. i have realllly dark brows and black hair, so i’m sure i need a black pen. i love your reviews. i live for them. 🤎🖤 i love the necklace you’re wearing in the beginning of this video. it looks like a tribal choker. and i adore the earrings you’re wearing at the end of this video. do you remember where you purchased them???
Hey sweets❤ Both the necklace and the Earrings are from Kendra Scott💋💋💋 i have the necklace in gold as well. LOVE it because it's adjustable and it is great for layering 🙌❤
Tara Lynn yea, i’ve had over 30 surgeries due to arthritis and about 20 of them were knee, hip, and spinal replacements, revisions, and fusions. i unfortunately just lost my leg to way above the knee in august. it’s hard. i’ve been dealing with this since i was 12 and it hasn’t gotten any better. the bills piling up aren’t helping my situation. my sweet adopted sister made a gofundme to raise money for my medical bills and to get my automatic wheelchair and hospital bed.
Hey I have only used the mac shape and shade brow pen but want a thinner tip I use the shade fling in it and it’s the perfect shade out of all these brow pens would u say any of them are thinner than the mac ?
They are forgiving, that's for sure. But the nice thing about pens, they don't dry right away so you can have time to manipulate it and work with it which is so nice💋💋
Yes, they haven't changed too much. But, I stopped for about a month and started losing them so I had to go back on the serum😢 But they came back quickly which is nice. ❤ I also recommend coloring them. You'll notice the first test my brows were light, and looked thinner. By the 5th product testing they were darker and fuller. It definitely makes a difference ❤❤❤
Tara Lynn Thanks for your reply! ☺️ I’m currently using Latisse & Revitabrow - they seem to be working well so far! 🤞 I guess once you start using the serums, they kinda have to become part of your permanent routine 😕 Your brows look amazing by the way! Thanks for your videos, they are so detailed and informative, absolutely love them 💛
great video idea tara! this was so informative. i’m not experience with brow blades but i’ve got a few that i need to keep practicing with. this gave me incentive to keep trying. thanks for sharing!
I completely agree with this video🖤 I bought my lime crime bushy Brow pen probably a year ago and it held up foreverrrrrr.. It has been the one and only product I've boughten from them but I agree they did it right I went and bought two more .. Such a informative video and I completely agree with the results TaraLynn 🖤 also glad to see you are feeling well 🖤 Kate xo
Ooh I love this!! I've been using brow pens for a really long time too...my favorite right now is the Anastasia but I wish it had a pencil brow on the other side😩...
@@cnr4eva They are pretty good at holding up. I can't say for sure as far as sweat proof, or humidity proof , (i live in a dry climate) but I will say, it's a pretty good formula if you can find the right shade🦋 i just wish the tip was thinner. That's my ONLY complaint with the ABH pens ❤
I just started using this MAC one about 2 months ago and it hasn’t dried out yet, I did just buy a new in on Ulta Diamond day. But I’m obsessed with it!!! I also bought the UD on to give it a go, but I really love the MAC on!!
Ya, I enjoy the Mac one, not sure why they kept drying out on me😢 My daughter had the same issue. But I'm SO GLAD it doesn't dry out on you, it's a FANTASTIC tip and great colors🙌🙌❤❤
Tara Lynn Maybe it’s more sensitive to have you store them than the others? 🤔 I was actually wondering while watching: Do you guys store them upright or laying down? And if upright, is the tip up or down? Only asking because I know some markers and pens are really sensitive like that and could imagine brow pens might be similar. (Also, thank you for this super helpful video, Tara!)
Thank you so much for this tutorial and review! I just bought tge ABH one and feel the same... the tip is too thick. I was contemplating in the one from Urban Decay and now i will try it out. I had no idea Lime Crime did these brow pens. I may try that formula as well. Again thank you, thus was super helpful and by the way your brows are beautiful. It does take some practice and finesse drawing them in!
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it💋💋 If you buy the UD, just beware of the shades. That taupe trap is more of a universal shade. So it may work for you too. They are just DARK. 😁 Thanks for watching and glad it was helpful❤❤
Ahhh, thank you so much💋❤ My hubby calls me "Detailed Nelly" hahaha. I am allllllll about the details... which is why reviewing makeup is totally perfect for me🤣🤷♀️🤪 Thank you for watching, always appreciate your support ❤💋
Did you have a thin brow tattooed at one point? Or did you get microblading at one time? Just wondering when you daisy out didn’t like them anymore. Really great video also!
Yes, I sure did. I had microblading years ago, had 4-5 touch ups and it got to the point where I built up scar tissue and now they have to cut deeper to get the pigment to last and the scar tissue won't numb like it did the first few times so I stopped doing it. Regret every doing it in the first place. Decided to grow out my own brows😁 But the first time i had it done still shows through my brows🤣❤ Thank you so much for watching❤💋🦋
I've tried a lot too. I'm trying out the benefit micro brows right now, which is ok. I did really like the lime crime one but noticed that it oxidized red on my brows, which is a bummer because I do like it. The mac, I like the colors, but it does dry out too fast, and the urban colors are way to dark and turn green on me throughout the day. I'm going to give glossier a try. Love your video❤️
I still blame myself for over plucking my eyebrows when I was younger ... thanks for the video, I’m currently in the search for a nice brow pen because the powders and pencils are not enough for me ☺️
Did you pre line your brows? Perhaps tattoo'd or like a filled in microblade--cuz they look like there is a dark line behind your hair and then the hair above it.
Yes, I sure did😬 I had the Microblading done And I regret it tremendously lol. I had it back years ago when it first came out and had it touched up several times. (I think I had my brows done for the first time in 2012, and my last touch up was 2016) So, i am left with what I have now, just a line. And, the last time I had the touch up a few years ago, the numbing cream wouldn't work it wouldn't penitrate through the scar tissue. Therfore I had nothing but pain and misery and swore I would never do it again. They don't tell you that when you're deciding to get it done😆 I always warn people not to do it because you'll reach that level I did and it is horrific pain having them cut deep into your skin, cutting through scar tissue to have the pigment deep enough to stay longer than a month or 2, without affective numbing cream. It's unpleasant to say the least lol. 😳🤣💋 Thank you so much for watching💋
@@TaraLynnbeauty oh my gosh! that sounds horrible. I cannot imagine. I have spent hours looking at various IG microblading artist pages trying to find the one that I like how many strokes they put in and their technique cuz I want to get it done. I am so sorry. I can barely handle my brows being threaded. I started to sweat and slip down in my chair when I asked to do some areas on my face for peach fuzz. I was dying. I cannot imagine what you went through. What we do for beauty right? You are really good at what you do and I am so glad I found your page.
@@nordicprincess1 Hehe, exactly... I get a bit of botox every few months and it's nothing compared to them cutting into my brows without numbing cream. Of course, they put numbing cream on throughout but it never fully works because of all that scar tissue. The micriblade is nice because it's easy, but my gosh after a few touch ups, it's not worth it🤣😳🤪 Thank you again, really appreciate it 💞❤
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! Great demo and review on so many of the types of brow pencils that are out there! With so many on the market, it is literally mond boggling when trying to decide where to start when evaluating new brow products.............especially pencils/pens!
I agree with the review on the UD Blade. The pencil side is worthless for me. It's definately dry. When I do use it, if it doesn't break off, it'll tend to come off in clumps. I bought mine before they came out with the blackest black shade & the ink still works. It's the most expensive of my brow ink pens and I wish they just came out with the ink side at a fraction of the price. I have yet to try my Benefit & Anastasia ones. I don't want to open them in fear that they will dry out & I would've wasted my money.
Great post. I appreciated you sharing how you prepped your brows. This is something I did....Used to use a brown sharpie. Hehe There was nothing on the market & it used to aggravate me. So many out there now. I watched Lisa Eldgride, she mentioned the Suqqu & the Stila. Ran & got the Sila immediately. Used it till it was empty. Haven't tried 1 in a while but will soon.
Hahaha, you are hilarious. I know that feeling all too well. I've worked hard to grow out my brows, so I know the feeling of feeling like they don't exist🤪🤪
Maybelline has a great pen that they recently came out with. It has a little clear gel on the other side. I don't care for the gel but it's only $10 so you really can't beat that. I need a light cool color the Ash brown is perfect for me. I was scared it would be too dark for my light skin but it wasn't.
Hi, Tara! Love this video, your brow game is strong now. I love brow pens. I have tried almost all these, and just ordered the Tart micro blading one that’s exclusive of QVC, and I have hugh hopes Glossier has an Auburn now, and it’s my favorite now, Mac ones is also good but by mistake I ordered taupe and it’s too light so I use it too much. The benefit one sometimes is not consistent with the ink, and I think it has dried, it hasn’t but maybe I have to practice more with it. The urban decay is really good, and I do sometimes like to start with the pencil to sketch it at first. It lasts long. Doing my brows is one of my favorite steps.
You'll have to let me know how that one works from Tarte (I LOVE Brow pens LOL) And I am happy to hear Glossier now has a new shade. They need a few more so hopefully they are in development 💋 Thank you for commenting and sharing your experiences with these Brow pens... ❤ and of course. Thank you for watching🦋🦋🦋 XOXO
Tara Lynn I will come back and tell you when I get them. Hope they are good. And I totally agree, Glossier needs more shades, but it’s a step in the right direction 🤣😂. 🌹🌹🌹
Great Topic & Thank You for swatching every pen you have so we can see them compared to each other!!! Your swatches are always so helpful & it was especially helpful here!!! The undertones in brow products make all the difference from face to face, Thank You again!!!!
You're so welcome, thank you so much for watching. I always try to save my viewers some money, wasting money on makeup is the worst🤪 Have a wonderful weekend 💋🦋
Hi Tara, have you ever heard of this before? So the issue I have with most brow pens is that the color literally turns green on my skin after a few hours - almost like it oxidizes especially if there’s any foundation or if I’ve been sweating. It like it turns green if the product mixes with the oil in my skin. It’s just awful! The only one that doesn’t do this is the Stila one in medium - only bcz it almost has a super cool almost grayish hue to it, but it’s not as juicy of a pen as others.
OH NO🤦♀️😢 I have heard of pens turning green but only select shades. That REALLY stinks girl. I'm so sorry😢😢
Maybe try to powder the area well before you go in and what i would do if i had your problem is the following ..make sure the area you want to fill in is well powdered. Then i would map out with a soft pencil maybe even with a soft brow powder but very lightly and then i would use the brow pen. Doing it this way, you create a sort of a barrier between your skin and the product and the least chance of oxidizing, also i would set my face with a face setting spray, the charlotte tilbury one is very good, hope this helps
i've used the lime crime bushy brow pen in 'soft brown' for a while and it's never turned green before! :) i know what you mean tho
My urban decay brow blade shade dark drapes did that as well!!! I thought it was because I put powder on top but I guess it was just the pen after all
@@briannamoore315 - yes! I’ve found it’s actually worse too if I powder the area 1st. There’s something about makeup, powder & the oil of my skin mixing with the ink in the brow pens that turn the shades green 🤮. It’s why I didn’t respond to the recommendation above to use powder lol. But I now use a q-tip w/either hot water or makeup remover on it & run it through my brows to make sure there’s NOTHING in or around them before going in w/brow products. It seems to help. Additionally, I’ve since found a brow pen that’s far less inclined to turn green on me since I made this initial post - it’s NYX Lift & Snatch brow pen in ash brown. Have you tried it yet? I fill in the tail w/a pencil then draw some hairs in w/the NYX pen & it hasn’t turned green on me (YET🤞). I’ve also incorporated the Almay brow gel in the dark brown too. That stuff is great for thickening & adding hold. Im just sharing what I’ve been using more recently that has definitely helped with that issue. I’ve changed up my brow game since I made this post. ☺️ Have a great weekend!
Brows are the least favorite part of my makeup routine! It’s always so stressful because I never know how they’re going to turn out. I might give these pens a try, thank you for the reviews!
Seriously!! I feel this
The lime crime pens are phenomenal. I’ve had two shades from them for almost a year now and it still hasn’t dried out. Mind blowing! Doesn’t bleed, applies beautifully, it is THEE brow pen!
OMG! This is the best brow technique VDO for girls with sparse eyebrows!
I have been your regular fan for a while. Usually, I love watching your foundation, concealer, and CT products reviews, but I didn’t know you also review brow stuff.
I’ve always admired your review because you’re very detail-oriented and genuine, no matter what product you review. Thank you so much for working so hard on delivering a high-quality quality content
What I love about youtube is seeing women my age, with my type of brows. Showing me the product and how it works on them. This is so helpful 🙂I hope you have your skincare routine posted ❣️you are such pretty lady!
Ahhhh, you're so sweet. Thank you so much❤ I love having a UA-cam Channel connecting with other women my age. It's a family, and I love it❤ Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting it means a lot too me🦋 P.S. i have a skin care playlist, you can definitely check out how I achieved a natural glow to my skin and how I maintain it❤❤ Thanks again, XOXO
I'm sure you're the first influencer that has done a vid/tutorial on more than 2 brow pens and that's so helpful as well as, as usual, totally thorough. I'm blonde and have fairly light blonde eyebrows but with age from the arch I've lost all my brow hairs :( and it's such a pain trying to extend my natural brows and make them look "real". I bought the UD brow blade and the pencil color is fine but the pen tip just doesn't even show up and I purchased it for the pen part! I like my brows a lightish brown (no red nor grey undertones) to frame the eye as blonde is too light to do this. What would you recommend for my situation as I'm probably in the minority but it also might help others like me too? So happy to see you're all better and back to your usual happy, charismatic self. xoxo
I find that the benefit is like a watercolor. As it dries it will darken but definitely need to go to the darkest color with it. Brow blade is my favorite for actual hair like strokes but it does bleed too. It all depends on the density of your brows. The benefit is great to shade when you have a lot of brows and want to darken a little bit. I want to try the Glossier.
definitely true, couldn't agree more❤❤❤
I agree that pen is so watery that literally pours out if you're not careful it sucks
This was such a great video, Tara! I love the way the brow pens look. I think when the individual hairs are drawn in, the brows look so super beautiful compared to just coloring over them with a pencil. I know it’s not an easy process by any means and I really appreciate all your hard work on these recommendations. These pens can be so expensive and it’s such a bummer when you pay all that money for one that just doesn’t work for whatever reason.
For me the struggle is always finding the right color. I feel like a lot of the browns are too warm toned or reddish. I use the glossier one in black -I like the urban decay but haven’t found the right color yet. I actually found that the first one I got was way too light
So, at 6:00 I said the pencil i use is from Urban Decay, THAT IS WRONG🤣🤣 i had UD on my mind. Hahaha. It is the Benefit Precisely my Brow Pencil🤪💋
Thank you! Great information 💕
I giggled when I saw that honest mistake 🥰
Lol I picked up on that too but, that just goes to show how ridiculous I am when it comes to makeup lol. at least u have a channel! What’s my excuse lol 🤦🏻♀️
Brow pens are definitely the best and, for me, the easiest ways to do my brows.
Thanks to Lisa Eldridge, my first pen was the Suqqu one. I love this particular one, it's very fine, great shades and lasts ages without drying out.
I've used the new Benefit pen and, like you, I don't like it. I don't have the same control with it,
You've knocked this vid right out of park, brilliant! 💞🌸💞🌸💞🌸💞
Oh, I've never heard of that brand.. I'll put that on my list. Thanks hun❤❤❤
Love the Suqqu too & Lime Crime! When my current ones run out I’ll dip back into Suqqu. Such a seriously sleek, high quality brand!
@@PinCushionQueen at the time I was just getting back into makeup and had no idea it was a high end product 🙈. Add that to the mistakes I made, just getting used to doing brows was hilarious, and you could easily see a real rookie in action 😂😂. xx
Sadly the Suqqu brow pen is not easy to get in the US!! I love the khaki colored one for dark hair with cool undertone.. but it’s not too dark.
@@MissEMc2 hey, I have the same problem but the other way round. I feel your "pain".
I'm more than happy to help you out and send one over to you. xx
GREAT video! You really broke it down. My favorite brow pen on the NYX Lift & Snatch in taupe and blonde. BUT sometimes, they bleed in the areas where I have no hair and forehead wrinkles. Annoying lol. AND they dry up in about 1-2 months. I have loved them though. I'm gonna give the Lime Crime a shot bc of this video.
Thank you so much. I like to be thorough in reviews, so I'm happy it was helpful 😁❤️ I started using the Glossier Brow Flick again (because I had it on hand) and it's a good one to that doesn't bleed. But my next purchase will be lime crime again😁
The comparison photo of all the brands was SUPER helpful! Also appreciated how you tested each brand on different days and discussed the merits of each.
This is a very helpful video, my eyebrows are thin and messed up from plucking/waxing as a teenager and been wanting to find the best product to fill my eyebrows in to get a more natural look than just coloring them on.
This is the best brow pen video I've ever seen. You did an amazing job!!!
Ahhh, thank you so much💋❤ You know me. I'm detailed Nelly 🤪😁 Makes a longer video, but that's what time stamps are for🙌🙌💋💋 Thank you for watching my friend💋
Tara I love your videos! I am bad at brows and I have tried the urban decay, Anastasia and Benefit. I LOVE love the benefit, and I think it’s because even the dark brown color is actually quite light compared to the other pens, and the ink doesn’t flow out a lot, so I can use a heavier hand for my dark (but thin haired) brows, and It looks soo natural. My brows just need filling in and also have a very obvious growth direction so it’s easy to angle the three tips correctly. The other pens in dark colors are way too dark and I can’t manage to make individual strokes look realistic or very even.
I've used ABH and Urban Decay and both of these formulas can dry out so easily. I've had brand new products that were already dried out. Thank you for this review. I'm gonna try the Lime Crime!
I know what you mean😫 I wish Glossier would come out with more than 3 shades. But, Lime Crime is a great pen. This is an older video of mine, but i keep it up, hoping it's still helpful. 🙏
Have you tried the Suqqu brow pen? I used to love the Anastasia one before they updated it. Now, I've stuck to the suqqu pen because it's so thin and precise. I think there's some videos here on UA-cam on it.
You did amazing job showing all up oldies what to do …Thankyou …👏👏🇦🇺🦋
Best and most comprehensive video I have ever seen on the subject! Thank you!
Awww, thank you so much❤️ I always try to be thorough in my reviews, so I really appreciate that❤️😁
Girl, LimeCrime has bomb ass lippies & even eyeshadows are good.. imo. i love the shades of their nudes & pink lips. some palettes are so thought through. they're a really good brand fr
They really are unique in a lot of respects. I own a good deal of their brand & the amount of serious
sales makes it easy to & fun to purchase.
This was so incredibly helpful!!! I haven't tried a pen before and it's shaped like the benefit one, so I really didn't realize I needed to hold it at an angle like you did, so the tutorial was just as beneficial as the rest of the video. Thank you for taking the time to go so in depth with all of these!!!! You are so thorough and well I just really really appreciate it!!! I hope you and your family are all healthy, happy, and safe!!
I'm so glad it was helpful. Thank you so much for watching, and your support means so much💋💋💋
I have a hard time finding the pigmented pens . I would like the most pigmented recommendations
I’ve been on the fence about trying out a brow pen and I nearly bought the UD one several times. After seeing this, I think I will try it and thanks for the feedback on the shades being darker.
This video was SUPER helpful so THANK YOU for all your hard work and compiled thoughts and recommendations. You rock Tara!!! 🧡
Thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoyed it❤ And found it was helpful, thank you for your support my friend🦋💋
Tara Lynn 😘 you do a fantastic job Tara!!
Damnnnnn look at all the effort you put in this videooo. I havent tried a brow pen but I wish they were cheaper. Love to see your thoughts on mascara!
Thank you so much. I'm so glad it was helpful ❤💋❤💋 I wish they were cheaper too... They can be pricey🙄🙄🙄
I know I commented already, but thank you so much for this video. I am in my forties and am from the era of “over-plucking.”
My favorite is Abh Brow Pen. I even use it to line my wing on my eyes! Abh has the best brow products imho. Love your review videos tara. Dnt ever stop
Thank you so much. That is actually a GREAT idea to use it as a Eyeliner. The blade is too thick for my brows but would be perfect for eyeliner. YAY. Thanks for that suggestion (I'm actually don't have a brown liquid Eyeliner 🤪)
@@TaraLynnbeauty Im so glad i can give u a tip because usually i learn so much from you. hehe. may i request for a "whats in my makeup bag" video. so like a makeup bag you carry with you in your purse?
@@Strawbettys Great idea❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing🦋🦋 You All have amazing tips. I learn so much from you all. Thank you my friend❤❤
Kudos to you for the most comprehensive eyebrow pen comparisons ever, I am so impressed!!
Tara Lynn, I love Suqqu....they have amazing foundations, eyeshadows and blushes. I used Laura Mercier brow powder for decades(literally) and have only switched to Suqqu brow powder in the last year, because I love Suqqu. I have their brushes but use my Sonia G brushes more. If you love Surratt, Suqqu is the same but you get more for less money than Surratt.
Thank you very much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌻❤️
My favorite brow pencil is Shu Eumura hard formula pencil! It’s not soft at all and you will never do a boo-boo doing your brows. It’s a waxy formula that leave color on the hair mostly and definitely dumb proof😂
Took me a week or so to get to know this formula but now I am hooked!
But overall my holy grail is Tom Ford fiber brow gel!
Thanks for this! I’ve always been curious about brow pens, but since I’m a klutz, I’ve been too afraid to try. You’ve given me an education 😊
I'm so glad it was helpful, thank you so much for watching❤💋❤💋
Thank you for doing this Tara...I bought Benefit in light brown but as a blonde it showed up completely red on my skin & it wasn’t a good look w/my light ash brown brows lol! I’m going to order limecrime thanks to you😘...have a great weekend everyone & stay out of the Cities to avoid these crazy terrorists trying to impose their power over you by blocking roadways & beating you if you don’t repeat what they insist you say! Xo❤️🤍💙💯🇺🇸
I’ve been wanting to try a brow pen for some time now but couldn’t figure out which one to try. This video helped so much. Thanks Tara Lynn. I just ordered the Lime Crime through your link. I look forward to trying it out!
Ahhh, thank you. I'm so glad it was helpful 🙏🙏 I just love brow pens, they are awesome and I can't go back and use a pencil to fill them in. It feels unnatural lol. Good luck and hope you love it. (P.S. it will take a minute to get used too it, but don't give up, you'll get the hang of it💋)
Tara Lynn thanks so much. I can’t wait to start practicing!
I have most of these pens, my favorite is by Stila (although I think the only one that preforms fabulously is the dark) it lasts for a year+, and has staying power. I like the Glossier, except it turned orange on me (even though I only had it for a few months). The UD Brow Blade, is ok, the ink part started running out within a few weeks, and the pencil part is so hard and waxy without any color payoff. I have only tried lime crime’s brow gel, and it’s really good. I have tried several 3 pronged pens and for some reason they work only the first couple of times, then they stop.
I've always wanted to try the Stila pen. Good too know, thanks for that tip❤❤❤ Lasting a year is freaking amazing 🙌🙌🙌 Thanks for all your input, it's sooooo helpful for everyone in the comment section💋❤ Have a great weekend my friend 🦋
This was a GREAT video! Can you compare some drugstore ones as well? I’d love to see how they hold up to the higher end ones.
So glad I watched your video. I have the Benefit Micro Brow Pen but agree on everything you said. I will try the lime crime because of your review. You saved me a ton of time and $. I have started watching your videos and love how detailed you are. Thanks for the hard work.
Ahhhh, thank you so so much❤❤❤ That means a lot too me, I appreciate that so so much💞💞💞💞 Welcome to my UA-cam Family🦋🦋
Can you please let us know the best waterproof brow pencil? I play sports and my face sweats a lot and I want a pencil that won't disappear. Great video!
I tried the L'Oreal brow pen with the 3 blades and I did not like it, for your same reasons and it was way too warm! I would love to try one of these single blade pens that you've shown in this video, I absolutely loved this, you did an amazing job as always!!! your brows look beautiful 😘😘
I thought it was just me on the Benefit pen. I saw several great videos and the lines were so clear and distinct, but it either doesn’t show up or if it does, it is more of a smudge on me. So glad that it isn’t just me. This is my first try with lens so I’ll go with your recommendations. Thank you!
I know it's older at this point, but this video is amazing! You sold me on brow pens. I'm going to pick up the UD!
You're absolutely right about the benefit pen. The 3 strokes don't show up well at all as separate hairs. At all.
I'm a rookie with brow pens. This was VERY helpful!
I'm not sure(and I don't want to sound...petty?!), but there may be some misunderstanding- correct me if I'm wrong.
At the very beginning, you were holding and talking about your favourite brow pencil and you've said that it was UD, but I think you were holding Benefit one.
🤷🏻♀️I really may ne wrong, but I don't want people to get confused...as I got 😂
Thank you for such thorough, i depth video. I really needed it!
You are an amazing creator and we're so lucky to have you on this platform. 🥰
The screenshots are the end with the tip and swatches were perfect. thanks!
Gosh, I am sooo glad I found you. You are so helpful and thank you for that. Would you ever consider showing how you dye your brows? Thanks again for doing this beautiful sweet lady ❤️❤️❤️
Oh, ya, that's a great idea. Dying my brows is KEY. If you notice, in the first tutorial, my brows were due for some dye. But, the last tutorial was after. It makes a huge difference. I'll definitely put that on my list, thanks hun❤❤❤
Oh great! Just in time, I was really thinking on trying the Anastasia because is easier to buy that the one for Glosier. This video came just in time, I will keep buying and using the glosier brow flick. Thank you!!!!!
I'm so glad it was helpful, 🙌💋 Thank you so much for watching❤❤❤
Tara, how long does brow pen ink last?
Thank you
Try a fine milled powder, just a tiny bit and make sure you shake it up for a lonngg time. Alot of the browns have green to cancel out the warmth. Most of them swatch green!! Good luck!
I would just like to say you may think you struggle but I think you do great yours have a more natural look than I see on some people. Now I struggle. I am 57 now and my brows have gotten thinning in the very front and the outside tip and grays have grown in. Its very frustrating when I had perfect brows my whole life. I never had to deal with making brows ughhhh
My Mother in law told me to be prepared to lose those thick brows you're working on growing out. Such a bummer (she also told me I would lose my hair in other places too🙈) Thank you for commenting and watching, Have a wonderful week❤🦋💋
Great research, I’m sticking with Glossier. I see they recently added an Auburn to their color options. Thank you for the thorough review ❤️
I’ve been waiting for this!!! 🤗 ~ I use the urban decay brow blade too!
🙌🙌🙌 I'm so excited too finally have it up🤪❤
Thank you so much for this video I loved the detailed review and applications, you are amazing. I normally just use a brow pencil and then I go in with a tinted brow mascara and I do the hair-like strokes with it. I will be giving the line crime a try. Thank you again
That's a great way to achieve that natural Brow look🙌❤ I'm glad the video was helpful, thank you so much for watching💋💋💋
Love this video Tara, I use the ABH Brow Wiz and the Brow Definer. A couple of weeks ago I purchased the ABH Brow pen and having a hard time with it. I'll try your favorite next time around Lime Crime.
I'm so glad it was helpful 🙌🙌 That Brow blade is just too big. It needs to be thinner. I think you'll enjoy the Lime Crime or the Urban Decay ❤❤❤
Thankyou this was helpful I have ordered the Glossier blade and the lime crime based on what I saw in your video! I had tried some and was not happy with how they worked( or did not) .. your comments about the lighter shades near the eyes was also super helpful thank you!
Ooh Im going to watch this later. I have to get my son ready for school right now. My fav is the Urban Decay.. 💜
Thank you for stopping by to comment. You're the sweetest❤💋❤💋
Great video Tara! I personally have full brows, so I only use Benefit's Gimme Brow or the Elf Wow Brow, but that Lime Crime looked the most natural on you! I'm so glad it came in at number 1!! Appreciate your dedication for such a long video :)
JALE, I'M SO JELLY.... I would love to have thicker brows... And the Brow blades work great for those who have thicker brows. I think it looks so much more natural than pencils💋💋
Thank you! I have eyebrow alopecia so a brow pen is essential. Very helpful, great video.
SO FRICKEN HELPFUL! And I agree on so much of what you said, I’ve been working with the one from ABH lately and I’ve always had a love for the ones from Urban Decay, but it was great to hear this from someone who actually has brows as a pose to my sad little non-existent brows 😂😂😂
Hahaha, girl, you have great brows. .🙌 I've been growing mine out for a year now (using it twice a day), and they are finally getting thicker.. Glad the video was helpful, love you pookie❤ p.s. I'll be responding to your Marco tomorrow. Today has been one SHIIIITTY DAY 😢🤪
My favorite brow pen is Salon Perfect On Point Tri Tip marker found at Walmart for around $5.00.
oh, i’m soooo here for this!!! i have very chronic arthritis and my hands and wrists are severely contracted, so brow pens are hard for me. i have realllly dark brows and black hair, so i’m sure i need a black pen. i love your reviews. i live for them. 🤎🖤
i love the necklace you’re wearing in the beginning of this video. it looks like a tribal choker. and i adore the earrings you’re wearing at the end of this video. do you remember where you purchased them???
Hey sweets❤ Both the necklace and the Earrings are from Kendra Scott💋💋💋 i have the necklace in gold as well. LOVE it because it's adjustable and it is great for layering 🙌❤
P.S. I'm sorry too hear about your arthritis, my Grandpa suffered for years with it and it can be debilitating. 😢😢😢
Tara Lynn they’re gorgeous. ♥️
Tara Lynn yea, i’ve had over 30 surgeries due to arthritis and about 20 of them were knee, hip, and spinal replacements, revisions, and fusions. i unfortunately just lost my leg to way above the knee in august. it’s hard. i’ve been dealing with this since i was 12 and it hasn’t gotten any better. the bills piling up aren’t helping my situation. my sweet adopted sister made a gofundme to raise money for my medical bills and to get my automatic wheelchair and hospital bed.
Hey I have only used the mac shape and shade brow pen but want a thinner tip I use the shade fling in it and it’s the perfect shade out of all these brow pens would u say any of them are thinner than the mac ?
Thank you Tara Lynn for doing this video! Love your makeup today
Ahhh, Thank you so much Heidi❤💋❤💋❤💋❤💋
Precisely My Brow is by Benefit (not Urban Decay). It’s one of my favorites. Great product.
I seriously goofed there🤪🤪 I must have had UD on my mind🤷♀️🤷♀️ Hehehe. Thanks for letting me know❤❤❤
Tara Lynn Completely understandable. You’ve shared so much about so many different brow pen products. Great video. Thanks for posting it 💞
Thanks for doing all the hard work to put this video together! I don’t use a brow pen. I use a pencil because it seems more forgiving.
They are forgiving, that's for sure. But the nice thing about pens, they don't dry right away so you can have time to manipulate it and work with it which is so nice💋💋
Hi Tara! Are you still using the brow serums? Would love an update on your ‘brow growth’ journey! 💕
Yes, they haven't changed too much. But, I stopped for about a month and started losing them so I had to go back on the serum😢 But they came back quickly which is nice. ❤ I also recommend coloring them. You'll notice the first test my brows were light, and looked thinner. By the 5th product testing they were darker and fuller. It definitely makes a difference ❤❤❤
Tara Lynn Thanks for your reply! ☺️ I’m currently using Latisse & Revitabrow - they seem to be working well so far! 🤞 I guess once you start using the serums, they kinda have to become part of your permanent routine 😕 Your brows look amazing by the way! Thanks for your videos, they are so detailed and informative, absolutely love them 💛
What concealer do you use and is the lime crime sold at ulta? Because I never seen it before
great video idea tara! this was so informative. i’m not experience with brow blades but i’ve got a few that i need to keep practicing with. this gave me incentive to keep trying. thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad it was helpful ❤❤ thanks for watching💋💋
I completely agree with this video🖤 I bought my lime crime bushy
Brow pen probably a year ago and it held up foreverrrrrr.. It has been the one and only product I've boughten from them but I agree they did it right I went and bought two more .. Such a informative video and I completely agree with the results TaraLynn 🖤 also glad to see you are feeling well 🖤 Kate xo
Ooh I love this!! I've been using brow pens for a really long time too...my favorite right now is the Anastasia but I wish it had a pencil brow on the other side😩...
Ya, that would be amazing because they have a great Brow Pencil. One of the best on the market🙌🙌🙌
@@TaraLynnbeauty I've been using ABH pomade and dipbrow mascara and they last through water/sweat, does her pencil last as long too?
@@cnr4eva They are pretty good at holding up. I can't say for sure as far as sweat proof, or humidity proof , (i live in a dry climate) but I will say, it's a pretty good formula if you can find the right shade🦋 i just wish the tip was thinner. That's my ONLY complaint with the ABH pens ❤
@@TaraLynnbeauty oh great , thanks for the reply. Are their (abh) pencil twists ok too
Well done! Best brow pen review!!! Thank you so much.
I just started using this MAC one about 2 months ago and it hasn’t dried out yet, I did just buy a new in on Ulta Diamond day. But I’m obsessed with it!!! I also bought the UD on to give it a go, but I really love the MAC on!!
Ya, I enjoy the Mac one, not sure why they kept drying out on me😢 My daughter had the same issue. But I'm SO GLAD it doesn't dry out on you, it's a FANTASTIC tip and great colors🙌🙌❤❤
Tara Lynn Maybe it’s more sensitive to have you store them than the others? 🤔 I was actually wondering while watching: Do you guys store them upright or laying down? And if upright, is the tip up or down? Only asking because I know some markers and pens are really sensitive like that and could imagine brow pens might be similar. (Also, thank you for this super helpful video, Tara!)
Thank you so much for this tutorial and review! I just bought tge ABH one and feel the same... the tip is too thick. I was contemplating in the one from Urban Decay and now i will try it out. I had no idea Lime Crime did these brow pens. I may try that formula as well. Again thank you, thus was super helpful and by the way your brows are beautiful. It does take some practice and finesse drawing them in!
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it💋💋 If you buy the UD, just beware of the shades. That taupe trap is more of a universal shade. So it may work for you too. They are just DARK. 😁 Thanks for watching and glad it was helpful❤❤
They look really nice and natural.
Hey tara such a great video ❤️so informative 👌👌never seen such a detailed video❤️❤️u are a perfectionist ❤️🥰lots of 💗
Ahhh, thank you so much💋❤ My hubby calls me "Detailed Nelly" hahaha. I am allllllll about the details... which is why reviewing makeup is totally perfect for me🤣🤷♀️🤪 Thank you for watching, always appreciate your support ❤💋
Thanks for working so hard on this video. I just have one question... Which has the longest wear and best waterproof formula?
Did you have a thin brow tattooed at one point? Or did you get microblading at one time? Just wondering when you daisy out didn’t like them anymore. Really great video also!
Yes, I sure did. I had microblading years ago, had 4-5 touch ups and it got to the point where I built up scar tissue and now they have to cut deeper to get the pigment to last and the scar tissue won't numb like it did the first few times so I stopped doing it. Regret every doing it in the first place. Decided to grow out my own brows😁 But the first time i had it done still shows through my brows🤣❤ Thank you so much for watching❤💋🦋
I've tried a lot too. I'm trying out the benefit micro brows right now, which is ok. I did really like the lime crime one but noticed that it oxidized red on my brows, which is a bummer because I do like it. The mac, I like the colors, but it does dry out too fast, and the urban colors are way to dark and turn green on me throughout the day. I'm going to give glossier a try. Love your video❤️
Yasssss I need to try a brow pen so this is so helpful! X
Thanks for watching my beautiful friend 💋❤💋❤💋❤💋
I still blame myself for over plucking my eyebrows when I was younger ... thanks for the video, I’m currently in the search for a nice brow pen because the powders and pencils are not enough for me ☺️
Did you pre line your brows? Perhaps tattoo'd or like a filled in microblade--cuz they look like there is a dark line behind your hair and then the hair above it.
Yes, I sure did😬 I had the Microblading done And I regret it tremendously lol. I had it back years ago when it first came out and had it touched up several times. (I think I had my brows done for the first time in 2012, and my last touch up was 2016) So, i am left with what I have now, just a line. And, the last time I had the touch up a few years ago, the numbing cream wouldn't work it wouldn't penitrate through the scar tissue. Therfore I had nothing but pain and misery and swore I would never do it again. They don't tell you that when you're deciding to get it done😆 I always warn people not to do it because you'll reach that level I did and it is horrific pain having them cut deep into your skin, cutting through scar tissue to have the pigment deep enough to stay longer than a month or 2, without affective numbing cream. It's unpleasant to say the least lol. 😳🤣💋 Thank you so much for watching💋
@@TaraLynnbeauty oh my gosh! that sounds horrible. I cannot imagine. I have spent hours looking at various IG microblading artist pages trying to find the one that I like how many strokes they put in and their technique cuz I want to get it done. I am so sorry. I can barely handle my brows being threaded. I started to sweat and slip down in my chair when I asked to do some areas on my face for peach fuzz. I was dying. I cannot imagine what you went through. What we do for beauty right? You are really good at what you do and I am so glad I found your page.
@@nordicprincess1 Hehe, exactly... I get a bit of botox every few months and it's nothing compared to them cutting into my brows without numbing cream. Of course, they put numbing cream on throughout but it never fully works because of all that scar tissue. The micriblade is nice because it's easy, but my gosh after a few touch ups, it's not worth it🤣😳🤪 Thank you again, really appreciate it 💞❤
excellent, very detailed. thanks Tara!
Thank you so much for watching❤💋
Thank you! Very comprehensive video! I was on the fence about a couple. Helps me make the best decision.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! Great demo and review on so many of the types of brow pencils that are out there! With so many on the market, it is literally mond boggling when trying to decide where to start when evaluating new brow products.............especially pencils/pens!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it❤❤ and so happy it was helpful 🦋 Thank you for watching💕💕
I agree with the review on the UD Blade. The pencil side is worthless for me. It's definately dry. When I do use it, if it doesn't break off, it'll tend to come off in clumps. I bought mine before they came out with the blackest black shade & the ink still works. It's the most expensive of my brow ink pens and I wish they just came out with the ink side at a fraction of the price. I have yet to try my Benefit & Anastasia ones. I don't want to open them in fear that they will dry out & I would've wasted my money.
Great post. I appreciated you sharing how you prepped your brows. This is something I did....Used to use a brown sharpie. Hehe There was nothing on the market & it used to aggravate me. So many out there now. I watched Lisa Eldgride, she mentioned the Suqqu & the Stila. Ran & got the Sila immediately. Used it till it was empty. Haven't tried 1 in a while but will soon.
Your brows are amazing! I was going to ask for a tutorial the other day, and here it is! Thanks for the great reviews!
Oh girl. That's such a compliment because I struggle with my brows the most so I appreciate that compliment ❤💋 Thank you for watching my friend❤❤
Supporting my favorite influencer even if I have clear eyebrows!🤣
Hahaha, you are hilarious. I know that feeling all too well. I've worked hard to grow out my brows, so I know the feeling of feeling like they don't exist🤪🤪
Hi!! Great video Tara! Thank you. What foundation do you have in your face in the introduction to the video?
Maybelline has a great pen that they recently came out with. It has a little clear gel on the other side. I don't care for the gel but it's only $10 so you really can't beat that. I need a light cool color the Ash brown is perfect for me. I was scared it would be too dark for my light skin but it wasn't.
Amazing video tara! I love how thorough you are..definitely becoming my fav youtuber!!!
You did a great job with the details!!
Thank you so much Lewis❤❤❤
I appreciated this video and comparisons
Great video! I now know which brow pencil I am going to purchase!
Hi, Tara! Love this video, your brow game is strong now. I love brow pens. I have tried almost all these, and just ordered the Tart micro blading one that’s exclusive of QVC, and I have hugh hopes
Glossier has an Auburn now, and it’s my favorite now, Mac ones is also good but by mistake I ordered taupe and it’s too light so I use it too much.
The benefit one sometimes is not consistent with the ink, and I think it has dried, it hasn’t but maybe I have to practice more with it.
The urban decay is really good, and I do sometimes like to start with the pencil to sketch it at first. It lasts long.
Doing my brows is one of my favorite steps.
You'll have to let me know how that one works from Tarte (I LOVE Brow pens LOL) And I am happy to hear Glossier now has a new shade. They need a few more so hopefully they are in development 💋 Thank you for commenting and sharing your experiences with these Brow pens... ❤ and of course. Thank you for watching🦋🦋🦋 XOXO
Tara Lynn I will come back and tell you when I get them. Hope they are good. And I totally agree, Glossier needs more shades, but it’s a step in the right direction 🤣😂.

@@uva98 Absolutely, and I'm happy about that💋❤ Can't wait to hear your thoughts😁🦋
Great Topic & Thank You for swatching every pen you have so we can see them compared to each other!!! Your swatches are always so helpful & it was especially helpful here!!! The undertones in brow products make all the difference from face to face, Thank You again!!!!
Spectacular review! Thank you

I love the Urban Decay Brow Blade in Brown Sugar, it is so easy to use.
YAY🙌 I'm so glad you found a shade that works great for you❤ It is a GREAT blade. Works amazingly well 👌
Great video! So much for waiting😂
Lime Crime works best for me but so hard to get in Canada
Perfect review! You helped me save money (when I was going to try the ABH pen). You also gave me some new options I never even knew about. Thx!
You're so welcome, thank you so much for watching. I always try to save my viewers some money, wasting money on makeup is the worst🤪 Have a wonderful weekend 💋🦋
