Intro
Maybelline is an American beauty company founded in 1881 and based in New York City. It is best known for its mascaras and lipsticks. Maybelline was the first American cosmetic company to sell lipstick in a tube instead of on a stick or as a lipstick-in-a-bottle, and introduced the concept of “lipstick on the go”.
Its early products included “Maybelline Red”, “Maybelline Superstay Matte Brown”, and “Maybelline Instant Age Rewind” (in which it used the terms “instant age”, “instantly aged”, and “instant rejuvenation”) as well as its infamous Maybelline Mascara Squeeze Tube (to which they give a pretty good try).
The company was acquired by L’Oreal in 1997, although it was not long before it began to make cosmetic products once again. Since then it has been making lipsticks once again with all new formulations.
The brand is still owned by L’Oréal.
L’Oréal Paris is one of the world’s largest cosmetics manufacturers and since 2000 has been part of L’Oreal Group (the second biggest cosmetics group). The company has held a large stake in L’Oréal since 1977 when it purchased 50 percent from Groupe Credit Lyonnais.[3] In October 2011, L’Oréal created its own subsidiary called “L’Oréal Paris” with its own capital.[4] The acquisition of Maybelline by L’Oreal created some confusion among investors as to whether this was an acquisition or merger – many were expecting that Maybelline would be kept separate from L’Oreal but this did not come to pass.[4]
What is a Brow Precise Pencil?
This is a review of a product, which we believe offers real value for the user.
The name may be misleading: the product is not precisely a pencil but, rather, a brow-pencil that provides a precise evenness in the brow area. It is ideal for those who want their eyebrows to look their very best, especially at night when they are sleeping.
The product itself is an angled pencil made of waxed paper with an aluminum and nitroglycerine core. It comes in three shades (light brown, dark brown and black) and can be shaped to shape your brows and match your eyebrows perfectly with minimal effort. The pencil itself is super-sharp — which makes it perfect for those who need to keep their brows looking sharp in photos or to fill them in for special occasions (like weddings!).
The pencil has been around for some time now but we didn’t get our hands on one until recently. We decided to do this review because it seemed like something that our readers would find interest: beauty products that offer real value for the user, without any questionable marketing angles or misleading claims (like “perfectly natural” or “no mess up” or “ … no fillers at all!”). The following search resulted in over 180 results; we have covered many other similar products as well so we will focus on this one only briefly here:

What are the benefits of using a Brow Precise Pencil?
I have been using the Brow Precise Pencil for a couple weeks now, and I wanted to share my thoughts on it.
First off, over the weekend I went to a club with friends where we were all given new glasses to try out. The first thing I noticed was how much more beautiful we looked in them than anything else at that party. The second thing I noticed is how much better people around us looked with them. So, naturally I began asking people if they had tried any new eyeglasses and whether they liked them or not. They all told me they preferred their current glasses, so I asked how they could tell the difference. And the answer was: Brow Precise Pencils!
I got a great feedback from my friends, who all said that it enhanced their vision perfectly and that it made them feel confident about their appearance. So, naturally I started looking into whether or not using Brow Precise might really be an option for me — and boy was it!
The tool is as simple as it is effective: you draw on your brows until you have your desired shape (you can also use this tool to sketch other geometric shapes). Then you use the pencil to fill in your brows while still being able to see yourself in your glasses! It’s that easy! It doesn’t take long before you start getting compliments from strangers who are complimenting your appearance.
I’m recommending Brow Precise because when you want a perfectly shaped brow — which is what most of us want (I know this because of my own experience with having perfect brows) — there is no other option really than using our own hands for making one. And no pencil or brush can ever do as well as our own hands! That’s why there are only two things we can do: pencil and brush (or hand). Therefore there are only two options: pencil or brush (or hand) . Brow Precise Pencil is one of those tools which allows us to achieve exactly what we want without having to spend any money whatsoever!
How to apply the product on your brows?
I wanted to ask you a question about the maybelline eye studio brow precise review because I am not sure which product is more important — the brow cream or the face powder. If you compare them, one is for the eyebrows and the other for the face.
If you have read any of my previous posts, you would know that I am a big fan of eyebrow pencils (a couple of them are not bad). I find this one very useful as it gives me precise control over how much product I want to use on my brows. If you follow my blog regularly, then you probably know that I have been using this product for quite some time now and it has become part of my daily routine.
I usually put it on after applying my foundation and when I feel like applying blush (to keep a natural look). You can see from this picture what it looks like when you apply a lot of product on your brows:
It gives me quite good control over where to put the product and what colour to use. It gives me a bit more than just black, which is exactly what I need at times as an eye shadow wearer. It also helps me to achieve a natural look with very little effort. For example, if I want to wear green eyeshadow under my brows, but have no other green products in my stash (which happens quite often), this will give me enough control over how much green/yellow/blue colour under my eyebrows to achieve that natural look:
It’s still not perfect though as there are two major drawbacks: 1) The application is not very smooth (it’s harder than most eyebrow pencils) 2) The clean up process takes longer than usual because it takes time to brush off excess product (which also means less product comes off with each brush stroke). I would say this one is definitely worth giving a try if you want precision control over where your makeup goes; but only if your brows are suitable for precision control! 😉
How to deal with common issues when using the product?
There is a lot of beauty blogosphere chatter about the “Brow Precision” product from the now-defunct maybelline eye studio. In fact, it is one of the most buzzed about beauty products of this decade.
I’d like to share our experience with it and how we use it in our work here at DFT.

Disadvantages and how to fix them
I have a special relationship with this product, it is my eyeshadow palette and I am already in love with it. I’ve been using Maybelline Brow Perfect Eyebrow Pencil for over a year now. This is the only eyebrow pencil that i can use as a primer, to make my eyebrows look more natural and also to get the hairs more defined.
The problem is that it dries really fast and don’t last long before you need to re-apply. Also, it’s really hard to find the right shade for your brows because the arrows on the pencil are not very well visible in the bottle so you have to be super careful when choosing which colour you want. It also looks messy (if you try to use it with mascara or eyeliner) but I still like it because of its simplicity.
Nowadays, every girl wants her eyebrows to look like an AKA model’s eyebrows, everyone looks good with a set of perfectly defined eyebrows but sadly many people don’t care about them at all and simply apply false brows or false lashes because they are easier to take off than real ones!
If you are looking for an easy way of getting so called fake eyebrows done easily and efficiently without having too much trouble in doing so then Maybelline Brow Perfect Eyebrow Pencil is not just for you but also a great product overall! I love its simplicity and how easy it is to get those perfect brows that we all want!
