Bought this Banila co. Brow Auto Pencil when I was in Korea this past June. It retailed for KRW 9,500 (~S$12). This brow product was not part of my shopping list, but the saleslady at the Banila co. store in Doota mall was very kind and helpful. That motivated me to buy more products from Banila co. On my previous trip to Korea, I had bought a CC Cushion and CC Cream from Banila Co. Though, those products did not work for me. I am willing to try their other products.   

 

Korean actresses and singers are known for their thick, straight brows. The Korean brows gives a more fresh and youthful look. Decided to buy more brow products during my trip to Korea because I hardly do them. I am totally clueless on doing my own brows. The responsibility of eyebrow shaping is usually taken by the lady that does my eyebrow threading. With that being said, my brows are usually au naturel except for the occasional eyebrow gel.

 

Being a dummy on eyebrow makeup, it was a trial-and-error process. Compared to Benefit Brow Zings that I have used previously, Banila co. Brow Auto Pencil gives a more natural finish. It is not as pigmented as the Benefit Brow Zings. It does take a few strokes for the pigment to show up on my brows. The pigment is more suitable for everyday use. It stays on all-day and does not fade. The shade Deep Brown (03) perfectly matches my black hair and medium skin tone. It is a retractable brow pencil that do not need sharpening, making it travel-friendly.

 

I find brow pencil more difficult to use than brow powder. It is easy to get heavy handed while filling in your brows with a pencil. Even though eyebrow pencil is the "older" brow product on the market, more skills are required to fill in your brows with a pencil. For those that are new to eyebrow makeup, I would recommend an eyebrow powder/gel combo. It is definitely much easier to use! In conclusion, I would not repurchase this product because I would rather stick to my eyebrow gel and powders instead.
