Ash is a great match for my skintone/hair colour, and it looks very natural on me - even if I just sort of scribble the pencil into each brow and blend by mussing up the product with the brow spoolie.

I wasn’t expecting to, but over the past few weeks, I’ve become very fond of the Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencils. Bobbi Brown Perfectly Defined Long-Wear Brow Pencil (0.01 oz/ $42 USD) = $4200 per ounce.Anastasia Brow Wiz ( 0.003 oz/ $21 USD) = $8000 per ounce *not an angled pencil just added to serve as a popular comparison!.Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil (0.014 oz/ $32 USD) = $2286 per ounce.It contains way more product than most twist-up brow pencils, so if you’re looking for a single workhorse product to add to your kit, the Arch pencils are actually a very economical option! Of the angled brow pencils that I looked at, the Hourglass pencil was actually the cheapest per oz by a wide margin. The price per ounce: I flinched at the $32 USD/ $37 CAD price tag of the Arch Brow Sculpting Pencils, but after doing a price-per-oz breakdown out of curiosity, I feel quite a bit better about it. True to its name, it’s quite an ashy shade, and it’s an excellent choice if you find that most brow products look way too red on you. Ash is a great shade for me it looks grey in the tube, but on my skin, I find that it looks like a very natural, cool dark brown. I find that the Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil gives me the fullest (and fastest) brow look of any of the brow pencils or powders that I own, and the colour stays in place all day long. It’s soft and very easy to blend, giving the diffused look of a powder but with the expediency of a pencil. The formula and shade: The formula of the Arch Brow Pencils said to “combine the benefits and technique of a powder, pencil, and wax,” which sounds like marketing-speak to me, but I do like it. Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil review Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil in Ash swatched I don’t think that this is necessarily a bad thing, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re not a fan of the “wild” look that’s all over runways and magazines right now! The formula of the pencil is soft but waxy, which is ideal for on-the-go but (in my opinion) doesn’t lend itself particularly well to that really sharp, crisp Instagram brow. Together, the two work to create the perfect, super-full brow in under two minutes–think Cara Delevingne brows bushy and full. Great for: The Arch Brow Sculpting Pencils feature a wide, angled, triangular pencil tip one end, and a spoolie to groom the brows on the other. The brand recently launched a few more shades (for a total of nine), including one that caught my attention: Ash, a cool-toned grey that’s perfect for those with dark hair and cool-toned skin. I’ve tried a lot of brow products this year, but the prettiest by far has been the Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil. The product: Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil in Ash
