Beauty enthusiasts are praising the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer, a £24 three-in-one eyebrow pencil that delivers bold, defined, and natural-looking brows. The product has earned a 4.6-star rating from over 1,400 reviews, with users calling it 'life changing' for achieving confidence even when they have 'virtually no hair'.
Product Features and Application
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer 0.2g features a double-ended design with a spoolie on one end and a triangular tip on the other. The triangular tip offers three functions: the sharp point shapes brows, the angled edge mimics real hairs, and the flat side fills in sparse spots. The highly pigmented pencil reportedly lasts all day and creates natural-looking arches. The brand recommends starting by brushing hairs up with the spoolie, then using the flat side to outline the bottom from arch to tail before brushing hairs down. After repeating for the top, users brush hairs back into place and fill in with the wider side. The fine point is then used for tiny, hair-like strokes at the front and into gaps, blended with the spoolie for a flawless finish.
User Reviews and Testimonials
One user shared: 'Amazing! After trying numerous brands I gambled with this. I love it. It glides on perfectly and stays put. I have virtually no hair, this gives me the confidence I need to feel like I have brows. I'm not an expert either on brow application but this perfect for me.' Another wrote: 'The best eyebrow pencil I've ever tried. Perfect colour for my brows and doesn't budge all day.' A third added: 'I love Anastasia brow products! ... My brows always look so natural when I use a light hand and stay in place all day!' One user raved: 'This is a life changing product for me. I've always found brow pencils to be too dark or fake looking, but the angled pencil on this enables me to individually draw new hair lines exactly where and when I need it.'
Drawbacks and Alternatives
Some users found the tip too wide and thick. A three-star review noted: 'I definitely prefer the Brow Wiz pencil over this. The product in the tube broke on me a couple of times while applying.' For those seeking a slimmer option, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz 0.08g is popular for its ultra-slim retractable style. One user said: 'I had always heard great things but once I tried the brow wiz pencil, I will never go back! The formula glides and is lightweight and looks very natural.' However, some found the Brow Wiz too hard, with one shopper stating: 'Unfortunately you have to press quite hard to get the pigment.' Alternatives include the Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil (£21.60 at Boots), praised as 'so soft', and the Charlotte Tilbury Brow Cheat (£27), with Vitamin E and Carnauba Wax for a buttery texture. Other Anastasia Beverly Hills options include the DIPBROW Pomade (£19), a waterproof, long-wearing formula with a natural-matte finish, and the Brow Powder Duo (£24), offering smudge-proof, sheer-to-medium coverage in seven shade combinations.
