Heard a lot of great reviews regarding Anastasia Brow Wiz and Lancôme Le Crayon Poudre. Anyone tried either or found one better?

I have Anastasia's and Benefit's Gimme Brow, but after taking the plunge and buying Hourglass Arch Sculpting Brow Pencil, the others have been tossed aside. Great color (although you might find that only three shades are available) on me (no reddish tones) in Blonde for my medium brown hair. Looks completely natural and stays in place. A little pricey but worth it.

Why do you like it ... how is it different from other pencils? {#emotions_dlg.confused1}

I like several things: first, the color has no reddish tones, which I find with almost every shade that matches my hair color in other brands; second, the pencil is waxy so once you paint your brows, you just brush them with the spooly on the other end and they stay put without looking crunchy or getting that waxy build-up look; and lastly, the tip is slanted and I find that to be much easier than the skinny tip of the Anastasia Brow Whiz which takes a long time to create the look of hair. I get a more natural looking brow with Hourglass.

Skinn's new brow pencil is great, but I have to say it's not waterproof, but it lasts all day. Also, anything that IT Cosmetics makes in a brow is fabulous. Either one of these products is just as good.

I've pretty much tried them all and have yet to settle on one. None give a natural look.

my eyebrows are sparse and blonde. I find the brow powder, a little tinted gel, that happens to be Anastasia, and the use of a spoolie makes for a more natural look than the pencil for me

Has anyone tried the new Cover Girl Bombshell brow/eyeliner powder? I am intrigued by it but every store where I've seen it has been out of the lightest shade, which is the one I need. I've read both good and bad reviews on beauty blogs.

I have this in Taupe and like the application, but I only use it as a secondary pencil, to fill in any spots after I've applied my BM foundation powder. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}
