I'm a natural copper redhead and my eyebrows are strawberry blond. ALL auburn brow items, pencil or powder are too dark. Too dark with brown undertones, too dark with orange undertones, etc. This pencil the colors are perfect. I didn't give it 5 stars because it fades some by end of day. I have oily skin so I tried a translucent powder first and than the brow pencil but it still fades. It's not a deal breaker but it would be nice if it was a bit less creamy so the lines stay crisp and color less likely to fade out. ** TURNS OUT IT WAS A DEAL BREAKER ** I was getting rather disappointed in the fade so I went to Sephora and found that their Retractable Brow Pencil in Nutmeg Brown is the same color as the darker end of Brett Brow Redhead. It's 24 hours promise had me buying two of them- reviews said they don't last as long as a regular pencil and I didn't want to run out one brow done. I hated the idea of wasting the Brett Brow pencil so I started lining my brow with the "good" one and filling in with bret brow but the fade made it very obvious that I lined it with something else. You could see the line from good pencil once the other started fading out. I tossed the bret brow. What a shame it doesn't have more staying power for oily skin.

Back in the mists of history, the Scots ideal of true womanly beauty was very thin eyebrows. Apparently I have enough Scots blood still in me to repeat this ideal because I have VERY thin, almost non-existent brows. That may have worked then, but nowadays I like a somewhat defined brow and this pencil fits the bill precisely. I'm darker than a strawberry blonde, yet not carrot or red. Using two colors makes the brow more natural, and the pencil gives definition to the shape. After using both sides, I use a brow brush to gently go over the stark pattern line and voila, a perfect, natural looking brow.

Since I need to have the brow stay all day, I take a tiny dab of eyelid primer and smooth it over the brow and skin where I will be filling in lines. This works great with only one drawback, the combination of primer and pencil tends to transfer a little to my sunglasses. Perhaps a different style of sunglasses would work. Since I wear prescription, I can't just change out. But otherwise, I love, love, love how I've gone back to a true red headed color after years of trying to make various brown shades work.

I have tried MANY brow pencils and it's difficult to find a true pale blonde for cool undertones. This is the closest match to a more natural look besides using some good ole eyeshadows. The formula is matte with good texture. Both shades of blonde deliver. Thank you for offering a great option that isn't either to warm or ashy. I appreciate that this brand is cruelty-free. Thank you.

Finding a matching brow color for redheads is a challenge. I've tried everything from drug store to luxury brands with little luck. The issues I have found are that the shades are too orange or too deep/dark. This redhead shade is perfect for my level 7/8 auburn hair. The pencil goes on smoothly, and the colors blend together nicely. It looks natural and refined, without being sticky or waxy like other brands that I've tried. Brett formulated a great product and shade, thank you!

Note quite as orange/red as the picture, but This is the perfect shade for my strawberry blonde hair. I have yet to find any other red eyebrow pencil as good as this one.

As a kid I was strawberry blonde, which I now try to replicate with dyes, and I've never found a pencil that matched up so well with my hair color. Using both ends of the pencil allows me to blend my brows for a more natural look.

Excellent!

It's not the exact shade I was looking for. But it's easy to apply and for someone who's not so excellent at drawing on eyebrows, that helps.
