Perfect for filling in brows if you're brunette. Who knew? Thanks to the reviewers here, I've found a pencil that creates natural-looking brows and costs next to nothing!

I've been using this for years! Goof proof eyebrow pencil. Doesn't smudge, and the charcoal gray is perfect (I have black hair, but black pencils tend to look harsh).
