Product details

Two Bare Edge Slim Brow pencils, one capped and one showing its slim lead and screw brush, on a cream table beside a taupe stone block and thin flakes of pale plant wax

Fine strokes

A slim hexagonal brow pencil that keeps its edge for fine, hair-like strokes, with no sharpening needed.

Etude’s Bare Edge Slim Brow has a 3D hexagon-shaped slim lead whose corners stay sharp, so you can draw one hair at a time without clumping. A screw brush on the other end tidies the colour for natural-looking brows.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Plate powder

    First on the list, a fine mineral powder that helps the colour lay down smoothly and evenly.

    No. 1 of 22 on the list

  • Hydrogenated oils

    A soft base so the slim lead glides on without dragging.

    No. 2, 7, 9 of 22 on the list

  • Plant waxes

    Firm waxes that give the thin lead its structure, so the hexagon edge holds for precise strokes.

    No. 5, 6, 11 of 22 on the list

  • Iron oxide pigments

    Mineral pigments blended into natural browns and taupes.

    No. 3, 4, 10, 13 of 22 on the list
