Usage Instructions

1. Prepare the Brow Area: Ensure your brows are clean and dry before application. Use the spoolie brush (located on the opposite end of the pencil) to comb your brow hairs into place.
2. Create Hair-like Strokes (Blade Side): Hold the pencil like a pen. Use the sharp, blade-thin edge of the pencil tip to draw small, upward strokes, mimicking the natural direction of your brow hairs. Focus on areas where you want to add definition or fill in sparse spots.
3. Shade and Fill (Shade Side): Flip the pencil to use the wider, flat edge of the tip. Gently glide this side over sparse areas to create a natural, shaded fill. Adjust pressure for desired intensity.
4. Blend and Set: Use the spoolie brush to gently blend the product through your brows. This softens any harsh lines and distributes the color evenly for a natural finish. For enhanced hold, follow with a brow gel.

Tips for Best Results

• Always use the spoolie brush to blend for a seamless finish.
• Choose a shade that matches your natural brow hair color for the most natural appearance.
• Store the pencil with the cap securely closed to prevent drying and breakage.
