It cooled down quite a bit here since last weekend. At least 20 degrees. Last weekend it was freakin' ? hot. Like, the type of hot that makes you feel like your thighs are going to spontaneously combust into beef jerky slabs when you climb into your car.
To beat the heat, I left the house to get my errands done early on Saturday morning, but I was still sweating like a nervous teenager on a first dance. I was really surprised when I got home to find that my brows were still doing their thing. HELLO! — it's the little things, ya know? Like not sweatin' your face off while you're buying watermelon and strawberries.
Thanks, MAC Eye Brows Styler pencil!
Our all-in-one brow kit has all the essentials to groom your arches in seconds. Build your look with two matte, natural-looking shades and one ultra-creamy highlighter – all featuring smooth, even, mistake-proof coverage. The mini-angled brush glides on colour effortlessly, while the tiny spoolie brush gently sweeps hairs evenly into place.
MAC revamped it recently, and I've been using the new version. I like it! Did you ever use the old one? I used it once or twice, and I can't remember why I didn't use it on the regular.
This new version is cool. Granted, I don't remember how I felt about the previous one, but this one doesn't budge at all.

The old one didn't have a spoolie, but this one does, and I like it because it means that I can fill in my brows without having to grab a separate brow comb.
Also, the tip of the pencil is thinner than it was in the old version, and it's crazy precise. I can draw individual tiny brow hairs without really thinking about it. By comparison, it's more precise than MAC Brow Sculpt, which I also like.
Overall, I like the defined look and overall shape of my brows when I use this (they're sharp, but not Insta-sharp, although you could easily do that too if you wanted).
MAC EYE BROWS STYLER
Available in eight shades, $18 each
- Brunette, a gray brown
- Stylized, a brown
- Tapered, a reddish brown
- Fling, a light taupe ash blonde
- Lingering, a soft taupe-brown
- Spiked, a rich brunette
- Stud, a deep rich blackened brown
- Strut, a mid-tone bronzed brown
I'm into it, but you might not be if the older formula was your ride-or-die. Many peeps on the MAC website are saying that the new formula doesn't measure up to the previous one, but bear in mind that any time MAC revamps something in the permanent collection, some people always storm the village square with pitchforks and torches, which I totally get, because OY VEY! — I'm not feelin' their new synthetic 224 at all…

Still, I like this brow pencil. I think it's good and majorly sweat-proof. I wear a slightly naughty-sounding shade called Stud, which is a blackened brown.

I suppose a Hearts/Farts review isn't necessary being that this is my second MAC brow pencil in the same shade. See that in itself shows how much I love this pencil, no matter how little (product) and how expensive (for the amount of product) it is. Of course, you do know that this is a makeup artist staple as well, unfortunately for me, I don't earn from makeup–I spend for it.

Here's Lingering when worn by itself:
Mac Lingering Eyebrow Powder
The color is actually a few shades lighter than my hair and is the perfect soft brown color, but what makes it really work is the formula: it marks so well, effectively lending even color to the skin beneath my brows. I guess you don't think about brow pencil/marker in that regard—it doesn't mark you brow hairs, it marks the skin on your brows (whilebrow mascaras tint the hairs temporarily).
And here's Lingering worn with MAC Brow Set in Girl boy:
Mac Lingering Eyebrow Pencil Dupe
Somehow, Lingering makes my brows full without looking full on, defined without looking harsh, and shaped but subdued. But alas since this costs a lot for a measly 0.09 grams (that's not even 1/10th of a gram!!!) , I am forever searching for dupes to wear on a daily basis coz I cant wear this everyday and buy every other month! I also mentioned that I chose to restock on this rather than buying the Veluxe Eyebrow Pencil from the Stylish Brow Collection because, I dont know, that's how much I love it! What's your favorite eyebrow pencil (and would you know of any Lingering dupes)?
