GHI expert verdict
This product simply and effectively mimicked hair strokes, leaving sparse brows looking feathered, naturally fuller and sharp. The colour was subtle and natural, too. Our testers were especially impressed by the fine brow nib and compact pen design, which gave good shape and precision. It went on to score four out of five for transfer resistance, with all agreeing it stayed fixed all day. When it came to the makeup artist's assessment, it received a nine out of 10 for a strong colour transfer. They were also impressed with its micro-blade effect.

How we test
We recruited 320 testers to help us test 22 different eyebrow products across two weeks. They gave feedback on each product's colour transfer, ease of application, longevity and final finish look. We also invited a makeup artist to assess the products for attributes such as pay off (transfer of product to the skin), hold and smudge resistance.
