i don't know why other reviews have such low ratings but if you look at the reviews on makeupalley.com, the rating for this brow pencil is superb and i definitely agree with the reviews on there. i love the slim design so you won't ever have to sharpen the pencil. in order to avoid the pencil from snapping you would need to twist the pencil little by little. don't twist the pencil too much otherwise it would snap, and that is why the other reviews had complaints about it because they were twisting it out too much. you're also wasting it when you twist out too much. on the other hand, the color is perfect. i got the color in medium brown. it's ashy and not reddish so it looks natural on dark colored hair.

Per Maybelline's website, they discontinued their Define-A-Brow pencil in DARK BROWN and they suggest you buy their more EXPENSIVE and WAY TOO WAXY; Eye Studio Master Shape Brow Pencil in deep brown, but it's not similar at all it's too waxy and doesn't apply well.

UPDATE as of Feb 2013: REPLACEMENT FOUND!!! The NYX Auto Eyebrow pencil is an excellent replacement to the old Maybelline Dark Brown pencil. I have dark brown hair and the black worked perfect since it's not that dark. However, the brown had a bit of a reddish tint to it. The NYX Eyebrow pencil has a matte texture, it's easy to apply, self-sharpening, and it doesn't smudge even when working out.

I am 64 and believe me, in 45 years, I have never found as good an eyebrow pencil as this one. Of course, they've discontinued my color which is brown/black, but I love this product so much that I will order the brown and hope it works as I have black eyebrows, but light brown hair. This is the first eyebrow pencil that looks like real eyebrow hairs when I put it on and it stays put. My eyebrows are sparse now due to age and I love this pencil. Bravo, but alas, companies always discontinue a super good product, so I have learned to buy several of any item when I find a good one. Highly recommend (while it lasts).

These are my go-to eyebrow pencils. I suggested them years ago, here on Amazon, to replace Maybelline's Charcoal Grey pencils. I recently found my last Charcoal Grey pencil and compared it to the Dark Blonde pencil. I much prefer the Dark Blonde because it doesn't have any red undertones in it.

I love that the tip is so thin. You can do feathery strokes and have natural-looking brows. You can also press a little harder and make darker brows. People have complained that the tip snaps off easily. Well, there's an easy solution for that. Don't turn it so much! Turn it about once or twice and use it. When you use up the pencil, twist it up again. Don't twist too much at a time or else it will snap. I learned my lesson!

I have black hair and this color is perfect for me. It's not too brown, there are no red undertones, and it has a hint of grey. It doesn't go on waxy or creamy. It's just right. If you feel that the line is a bit harsh, then just run a spoolie or brow brush through your brows to soften up the line. If too much rubs off, then do light strokes to fill in the area. This pencil is usually the only product I use for my brows. I rarely use anything else. I'll occasionally put on some brow gel if I feel that my brows are a little unruly. I never really got the hang of using brow powder. I just love this pencil so much because I don't feel like I need anything else.

The comb is pretty useless for brows. However, I've found a pretty good use for it. I use it to comb my lashes after applying mascara! It works pretty well! I would prefer more product instead of having the comb, but at least it's not completely useless. Actually, you know what? I DO use them for my brows when I trim them. I almost forgot about that!

I did post a picture of my brows, so do take a look at them in the image gallery. You can see that Dark Blonde isn't really blonde at all. I think it can work for a lot of different hair colors.

I hope these never get discontinued (knock on wood) or else I'll seriously be devastated. I can't live without them! They are absolutely perfect.

This creates perfect brows. The formula is drier; not as creamy as an eyeliner. This makes natural looking brows. The applicator is genius. I will definitely buy this again.
