Expert Wear® Twin Brow & Eye Wood Pencil

I've used this pencil for 50 years! But now I'm trying to find a replacement. The pencils won't sharpen properly and the tips break off after 2 or 3 turns in the sharpener.

My mother and I have the same hair color and our skin tones make our eyebrows completely blend in. It just so happens that the blonde-colored eye/brow stick is the exact same color as our hair—I mean exact! She has been using these since they came out and I’ve been using them my whole life. We get anxious when we cant find them in the stores because we’re worried they’re being discontinued. That would be tragic for us because no other pencil matches our hair color so well. Besides that, it’s a great value, well-made product. Classic, old-school, it does what it says on the package, which is such a rare thing these days. PS: If Maybelline ever decides to discontinue it, can you at least give me the chance to buy enough to get me through the rest of my life (seriously, any other brand/shade looks weird on us).

Ok, let me start this off by saying that I AM A REDHEAD. Therefore, if a brow product that doesn’t even claim to be for redheads or even “warm” is too warm/orange for me, there’s a problem. I have this in the shade light brown. It is completely unwearable. It’s not just too warm, it’s literally BRIGHT ORANGE. Like Jack-o-lantern orange. It was so bad I had to wipe it all off and just start my makeup over, but luckily it was at least super easy to wipe off, but that doesn’t exactly speak well for its wear.. Otherwise I will say it did glide on really nicely and evenly, I did like that. But the color is just an absolute travesty. NO ONE can wear this shade and look good or even normal, I promise you that. Not even the most fire-red/orange ginger redhead in the world. It just doesn’t look natural. Like it’s not just orange, it’s ORANGE. A very unnatural shade of orange. Also, the “brown” part of this? I know it says light brown, but still, if this weren’t so orange then it would be blonde, light blonde even. It’s quite light and there’s absolutely NOTHING brown about it. This might be an ok product if they had a shade that was wearable for me, but as my hair is quite light and I have highlights the darker shades aren’t an option, and clearly the lighter shades are just awful. It’s honestly surprising because maybelline is my favorite brand for brow products specifically BECAUSE their shades are so on point and natural looking and they’re great at making cool toned shades. even tho I’m a redhead I tend to prefer cooler toned brow products, even it doesn’t match my hair exactly, because in reality/nature redheads tend to have brows that don’t match their hair color (my natural brows sure don’t, hence the need for brow products, unfortunately my brows are naturally very light blonde and therefore invisible, and also not red at all) and they’re almost always cooler toned than our hair. So yeah it’s a bit surprising that they got it so wrong with this when their newer/more expensive brow products are amazing. Overall I’d probably give this product a 2 but specifically for the light brown shade it gets a 1 because idk how that shade even made it out on the market tbh. Bright. Orange.

I am one of many women who have used Maybelline brow pencils all of our adult lives and now wear our natural silver hair proudly. Fewer and fewer senior women are dying their hair, and it is so very exasperating and disappointing that the pencils are no longer available in grey! Unless we go on eBay and pay an exorbitant price for them, we just have to do without. Baby boomers are valuable customers, too, aren’t we? I’m hopeful that one day I’ll receive an email saying that grey is back on store shelves!

This liner has been my go to for three decades. It's tried and true. No smudging or fading. I use it for my brows and eyeliner. I Dont use anything else

I use Light Brown. I am blonde with brown eyes and medium skin. This is a Great Neutral Color, not too warm not too cool not to dark not to light, just right !! i use it in my eye crease and sometimes as a lip liner. i have also used it to contour jowls. it's the best most perfect versatile color !! Please never discontinue Light Brown !!

As a child, I remember my mother using Maybelline’s iconic Expert Brown and Eye Wood Pencil in blonde to shape and define her eyebrows during her daily makeup routine. While perusing the cosmetics section of a local store in search of an eyebrow pencil I spotted the Expert Wear Twin Brown and Eye Wood Pencil in the Maybelline section. I decided to give it a go and purchased the shade blonde. The color matched my hair and was easy to use in shaping and defining my eyebrows. After applying the pencil to my eyebrows, I use an eyebrow brush to blend the color into my brows. The result was natural looking brows with the color lasting all day long. Another use for this iconic pencil is to use it as eyeliner for your eyes. I use the shade dark brown to create a defining line on my upper lid followed by Maybelline Made for Mocha eyeshadow. Maybelline needs to consider broadening the shade range by bringing back the auburn and charcoal gray pencils.

Excellent for eyebrows & eyeliner. This pencil is an absolute MUST in my stash! I personally use as a brow pencil, but works great as a liner. If you need a smoother consistency it’s a classic that works great with a little heat.

I have been using these pencils for 40 years. Now I can't find my AUBURN anymore. Please bring back Auburn. I am strawberry blonde and no other shade works for me! PLEASE!!!!

This product has changed throughout the years. It used to be a great brow pencil but now it splits when you sharpen it and my eyebrows smear like they never used to. I’m sad that I will no longer be using this product after almost 24 years.

To apply this pencil as an Eyebrow Cosmetic fill in Backward, Shape with forward strokes. Spooly, Conceal. ( For Grey hair / Ash blonde set the eyebrows with a Translucent powder and it will give the same effect as the older revision that is no longer for sale. (To use as a 24 Hr eyeliner) In shade Dark Brown Slightly warm sharpened pencil tip with Candle igniter. This will apply the product as a creme And will set it for 24 hours. MAYBELLINE EXPERT WEAR IS FOR EXPERTS. Become the best version of yourself.

I am a redhead and I have been using the medium brown since high school. Now I am 58 years old. After trying out newer and different trendy brow products, I have never found anything that comes close to this. It stays all day.
