Eyes are the windows to the soul, and eyebrows…. well, eyebrows are their frame. Perfect brows boost confidence like nothing else can. Who doesn’t like to rock a classic one-eyebrow raise with bomb eyebrows?
I believe in the power of perfect eyebrows, and I like to obtain this perfection myself. I have been using Miss Claire Waterproof Eyebrow Pencil for about six months now. It is increasingly becoming the most popular and affordable eyebrow pencil in India. Available in two natural shades (black and dark brown), this waterproof eyebrow pencil allows for perfectly shaped eyebrows and a neat finish. Highly pigmented and slightly creamy in texture, Miss Claire Waterproof Eyebrow Pencil provides good coverage and a natural finish. Needless to say, it apparent that Miss Claire Products are making their presence felt in the Indian makeup domain, in a good way. Now, let’s start with the detailed review.

My Experience with Miss Claire Eyebrow Pencil
Miss Claire Waterproof Eyebrow Pencil is definitely one of the most affordable eyebrow pencils out there. After six months of use, I have decided it is time to let others know how this Miss Claire product really is. I bought both the shades, as I wasn’t sure which one would suit me. As it turned out, the shade Dark Brown suits fair to wheatish skin types. For duskier skin, the shade Black is a good choice. I would say that the Dark Brown shade is more natural-looking as compared to the black one though.
The waterproof eyebrow pencil is smudge-free, and can stay on for almost the entire day (as long as you don’t sweat crazily or intentionally rub off your eyebrows). The creamy texture may not be preferred by many, but I found it to be quite likable. Just apply gentle strokes and not pressing it on to your skin. It spreads evenly, and allows for good coverage. Just a little amount works wonders. Though I feel it’s not a good option to go for in a humid climate, as it will fade off quickly with your natural oil. You will have to use a powder on it to make it stay all day long.
Of course, it would have been better if the eyebrow pencil came with a sharpener as well. The blunted tip can be an annoyance after continuous use. The brush that comes along isn’t satisfactory. This eyebrow pencil deserves a better brush! But what more can you expect in this product at this price? All in all, Miss Claire Waterproof Eyebrow Pencil deserves a place in your vanity.

Rating

Conclusion
I would definitely re-purchase this product as it’s quite cheap, highly pigmented and does its job really well. I wish it came in a grey colour also, as black is very intense and can sometimes make your eyebrows look fake or made up. Obviously, you don’t want to look like a cartoon character with dramatic eyebrows!
