Anyone found a good dupe for the ybf eyebrow pencil? That shade..

pixiedust · ‎03-11-2010

Hi everyone,

I've been using the ybf brow pencil for awhile based on raves here. The color is a perfect match for me and I like the way it lasts. The only problem is that the pencils I've gotten from them lately have been very dry in consistency where the tip breaks off easily. I want to try something else - has anyone who has used this pencil found a good dupe? Would love it if it's an easily available drugstore version! Thanks. ${#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}$

Sorry what is ybf? I like Lancome's Powder Pencil.

IT brand. They sell them in two sizes at qvc...the standard size that we're all used to and the skinny pencils which I prefer although they need to be replaced sooner. The skinnier pencils are more precise, imo. a231691 and a212333.

Frannie... "Your Best Friend" southern channel. The sales lady wears huge rollers.

This brow pencil is just OK for me... the color is not completely right, but it will work. Same here... dry consistency and I'm not very happy about this.

Frannie....YBF stands for Your Best Friend formerly Models Prefer and is sold by Stacy at HSN.

I use a light moisturizer first before using YBF and the comparable IT Cosmetics Brow Pencil.

It's not a cheaper version, but a pricier one--Dior makes an eyebrow pencil that I think is very similar to the YBF one. Similar texture and color.

I was going to suggest this one also. It's 29 bucks.

For some reason, I found the Dior one prior to the YBF one. Bought on a whim. While I really liked it, I think the YBF is very comparable.
