What the gurus are saying

Creamy, matte and easy to use is the pitch, and the fans say the formula blends itself out and looks natural. The fine tip draws single-hair strokes into sparse spots, and the included spoolie fluffs the colour out, though the shades lean a little warm. The skeptics found it hard and chalky, so firm they had to press until it hurt, and it wouldn't blend.

"I had the wrong color of this for about three years and wondered why it didn't work well. Since they now have a dozen shades, I found a lighter one, and it works much better. [...] The front of my brows is light and the rest is dark, so I shade in just the front, and shade three has been wonderful. The darker shade [...] may have worked for me a while ago, but my brows have faded a bit since I had a powder brow treatment."

"There was a super fail of a brow pencil that I did buy for that video: it is the Benefit Precisely My Brow. This gets such great reviews, this is like you know four and a half, five stars. I hated this. This is another micro fine brow pencil but this pencil is so hard I have to press so hard that it hurts. It's hard, it's chalky, it doesn't blend well. It just didn't do it for me."

"I tried this Benefit Brow Power made this year and I was converted. I like it, I more than like it, I love it. I've used it in most videos that I had my brows done this year. I just find it so easy to use. What I like about it is that it colors more like the skin behind my brows, so if you are brow hair challenged, it's easier to use than a brow pencil. It just looks so natural and so beautiful."

"I'm going to use the Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil today, but I really don't like it, so it's not a recommendation. It's just kind of what I'm using until I find something. I just brush this back and forth, and I might have a little bit of residual mascara on there. Okay, so brows set in, and that's as good as it's going to get. Like I said, I just haven't found a brow product that I really like these days."

"I used to use the gel from Benefit, but I have found that I like the look of the pencil so much better these days that I'm moving over to their pencil. This pencil also comes with a spoolie which is really nice so you can kind of fluff it out. You can just get some color and brush it in and fluff it out, or you can just do a single lash by using the really fine end and just doing a couple strokes to fill in your sparse spots."

"The Benefit Precisely My Brow is a bit of a creamier brow pencil, so I certainly do get why people like it, it's pretty easy to use."

"A micro brow pencil that's great for a more precise application and [...] for adding more natural looking brow strokes, compared to the thicker Goof Proof pencil."
