What they liked

  • Fine, precise tip for hair-like strokes
  • Buildable color, easy to layer
  • Attached spoolie brushes out product naturally

What they flagged

  • Wears down quickly with regular use
  • Requires pressure to deposit color
  • Can look waxy on oily skin

What the gurus are saying

The fine, thin pencil tip earns consistent praise for creating hair-like strokes and filling gaps naturally, though several gurus note it wears down quickly with heavy use. The dual spoolie end makes blending easy, and the matte formula is buildable, so most who use it consider it worth the price despite requiring a lighter hand on oily skin or when shading is already dark. A few found it needed firm pressure to show color, and one prefers alternatives, but this pencil has become a go-to for many.

"I'm going to use the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Ash Brown. This is a really great way to fill your brows naturally. I don't know what it is about going against the hairs, but it just works so much better than trying to go with them."

"I'm using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in the shade taupe to just structure a little bit and fill in gaps so that the brows don't look completely undone."

"Anastasia Brow Wiz soft brown. This has been absolutely mullered. Nothing there. Nothing to turn up. It's gone. Gone. I can't even demo it. Very thin, fine pencil. Very handy for brushing. It wears down quite quickly if you use it as aggressively as I do. That's my fault, not hers."
~Mixed
"It's not like the Brow Wiz, which kind of has a crayony [...] texture. And if you have oily skin and you found that when you use the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz one, your brows end up looking waxy, try this one."
~Yay
"Here we go, the Anastasia Brow Wiz. This color, I think, is medium brown, and it usually works. I usually just fill in this very front eyebrow. Sometimes if it's too dark, then I get a cotton pad and swab it, and I even it out this way, because I think medium brown is still a little bit too dark. I just want them to look even."

"The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz is really nice. I use the shade medium brown but I also have one in soft brown, and I think soft brown is a little bit better for me. This one's a little dark but actually it's really handy because you get the spoolie on one side so you can kind of blend it in and then the eyeliner on the other side. They're kind of expensive normally at 25 bucks, but worth checking out if you get them for half off."

"The Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz, it's got a little spoolie at the end so you can brush it [...] into your eyebrows so it looks natural. Sometimes I just use a Q-tip to put it on. This one has been discontinued and this is one I absolutely love."

"I'm going to use this Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in chocolate like little hair like strokes to fill the brow."

"I used to use the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz, which I still do like, but I felt like with that product I had to push pretty decently on my skin to get the color, and I didn't exactly like that."
~Yay
"This is Brow Wiz soft Brown. [...] I like to go underneath the eyebrow a little bit because as we get older when [...] our eyebrows thin they tend to get thin from the bottom, so you want to bring your eyebrow down towards your eye. It gives you a little bit more youthful look. If you look at how your eyebrows looked when you were 13, 14, 15 years old they weren't these high arched brows. You see the difference, it just kind of anchors the face a tiny bit."
~Yay
"First thing I do is brows. I like to use a very thin pencil. This is the Anastasia Brow Wiz on Shireen, the shade taupe. I like to go a little bit lighter, especially if the person has darker brows already, to mimic two shades in the brow so it could look the most natural, especially in photos."
~Yay
"My favorite brow pencil of all time. The best way matte formula is really buildable. I've loved this [...] for years. I feel like it's hard to sometimes spend a lot of money on a high-end brow pencil, but since this one is so good I feel like it really is worth checking out if you haven't yet or stocking up if you're like me and you use it literally every day."

"I'm going in today with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz. This color is too dark for me but I'm going to use it anyway and the reason I'm going to use it is because I can't imagine it going to waste because this is my favorite brow pencil. It's an oldie but a goodie. I like my brow pencil to be a couple of shades lighter than my brows because I don't want them to just really stand out hardcore."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
