Most Helpful Positive Review Versatile and So Easy to Use! I've been looking for a brow pencil to match my hair since I got it partially dyed this summer. Usually, I use a brunette color and it has a reddish tint enough to pass as natural for me. However, in an attempt to go rose gold (red hair doesn't hold color!), I ended up with a blonde/red look with my dark red coming out in my roots. Naturally, this creates an issue with finding the right shade for my light blonde/nonexistent eyebrows. I tried Benefit Cosmetics Precisely My Brow pencil in a reddish color but it was far too red. I wanted to branch out into another "higher-end" brand so I gave Tarte a try. I was NOT disappointed! I picked this product because I wanted a smooth pencil (matte!) to draw AND fill my eyebrows (again, it looks like I have none at all). It looks natural especially when blended and the color is *chef's kiss* perfect in taupe. On the flip side, it's also got a tinted gel! This gel is a bit darker and would look good when I decide to wear a full face of makeup so my eyebrows don't get drowned out. I've never used brow gel but I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is. I am using the pencil daily. I'm very happy with this product and this is one of those rare occasions where I've found a *forever* product for my makeup collection!
Most Helpful Critical Review 50/50 The vrow pencil works perfect! I was honestly surprised at how sturdy it was after seeing how little the retractable pen tip was. It fills in and draws with precision because its so thin, and it has not broke the first piece off during use.
The gel brush on the other hand...it goes on thick. Even after I wipe the excess off it still went on heavy, so I tried to lighten my strokes and it wasn't filling in everywhere. I used my eyebrow brush to kind of brush it in and blend it and it was drying and caked so it flaked a bit and brushed off leaving blotchy spots for me to re-do.

It goes on smooth for a more natural loook
Loved it! 5
Kim from Iowa
it's hard to find a good eyebrow gel for blonde hair that isn't too dark or too red but this is great!
Underrated product 5
KaRod from Texas
I love this product. The wand for the eyebrow brush is the prefect size and when turned vertically allows you to fill in any missing hair gaps nicely. The formula of the tinted gel is opaque but not too much to the point where it gives you "sharpie eyebrows". It also fluffs up my existing eyebrows nicely. The pencil side is a bit sheer but can be built up. Hate falling in love with a pricier brow product but both sides have quite a bit of product in them so you're not going to go through this as quickly as with a normal eyebrow pencil.
Purchased because it was advertised a waterproof 5
Surf girl from Florida
The pencil is fine and fills in brows so naturally, while at the same time making an impact. You don't even need to use the gel for good results, but it does add a bit more drama and keeps the brows in place. Would use every day, not just as waterproof.
Horrible 1
Lauren from Iowa
I never write bad reviews but this is quite possibly the worst makeup item I have ever purchased. The gel is like glue and plasters your brows to your face. It makes you look like a clown and not natural at all.
Great product! 5
Linda from Kansas
It's great having the pencil and the gel in one pen.
Terrible 1
Nina35 from Canton, MI.
Idk who came up with idea, but this ain't it sis! Idk where to start, but I'm shocked that tarte put something this bad out. It's not to many tarte items that I don't like, but this is dried out, color barely shows, the gel makes them look a mess…… I just don't have anything good to say about this, other then the concept being a great idea. They need to stop production on this, and go bad to the drawing board.
I would give this 5 stars because it is great BUT 4
Katie C. from Norwalk, Iowa
It does not last long at all!! I was shocked that mine that I had purchased is already out. Other than that - it looked and worked great!!
Best 5
Ash from CA
Overall best eyebrow product for me! I love it so much and cannot get enough! Go easy with the pencil, use a brush to blend out, and then gently set with the brow gel!
Trrrible. Tarte doesn't seem to have any good brow prod 1
Jaydub2861516 from Fw
During the 21 days of beauty sale I bought each of the brow products tarte posted. Well all of them were a dud. The color dark brown isn't by any means dark brown. Orange hues
Not the best 3
Crystal U from Fort Worth Tx
I liked the concept of this 2 in 1 brow gel but the gel brush was not it. The brush had to much product coming out and it was hard to work it evenly through my brows. My brows looked messy and bad. BUT.... as for the pencil side it was very creamy and nice. Not great for lining because it's a little big but to just fill in, it works great and smooth right in.
Not a good product 1
EG from Michigan
Hard to get off, was sticky and not very good to work with when applying. Will never purchase this again. Also the eye liner pen part hardly comes out. I would never buy this again!
Works great 5
Fafa from Eptx
I had highlighted hair when I bought it so I decided to get the medium brown, both ends are pretty good. I love the pencil because it glides easily on your skin and the gel is tinted and tames my hairs. Recently I dyed my hair black so I'll be getting the dark warm brown since the mid brown is too light now.
Some shades work better than others 4
Makeup Bum from Coastal SC
I bought this in Ash, Taupe & Golden Blonde. The taupe and golden blonde are a mess when using the gel side. The brush holds far too much product and you end up having to wipe your brows off 😂. Now the ash.... ash for whatever reason is just perfect.
I love half the product 2
APS from Lake Conroe, Texas
I bought this because the store was out of the Busy Girls ash blonde and this product came in ash blonde. I love the pencil but the wand is too big and smothers my eyebrows with product. I waste product because I am removing the excess from my brow with a clean applicator wand.
Pencil is good, gel is WAY too wet 3
Greer from Illinois
I love all Tarte products, so tried this one. The pencil is fine (not great) and is comparable to my drugstore pencils. The real problem is the gel/brush- it comes out with way too much product on it, and even if you scrape off all the product and then use it it's still way too sloppy and wet, can't control it and you need to use a clean eyebrow brush/a-tip to clean up your brows
Definitely will be finding something else 2
Raech from Oregon
I have used the old Big Ego eyebrow tool since 2019 and have loved it. I was skeptical about the changes but bought this anyway and definitely will not be buying again. The pencil is soft and small, and the tinted gel is messy.
perfect 5
tine from Pittsburgh
this is my go-to brow pencil. the color is perfect. the sketch side glides on great, the tinted side is perfect for filling in where my hairs aren't as thick as I like.

Great brow combo 5
Lynleigh from Lexington, Kentucky
I tint them first with the brush, then I fill in and outline with pencil.
Obsessed with this! 5
Cassie from Tennessee
I start off with the liner and outline my brows very lightly (don't use a heavy hand!) and then use a powder I have to fill it in and finish off with the gel and bam!
Not worth the money. 1
Sandy from Minnesota
I would not recommend this product at all. I will stick with my way cheaper drug stores brand.
Works about average 3
Chrissy from Terre Haute, IN
The color is so great! I love it. The brow gel really looks great! I do my eyebrows everyday and have tried so many products. For the price you pay, to me, it's not worth it. After a couple hours, my eyebrows have already wiped off.
Defined but easily smudges 4
acb from New York
Personally would get a separate liquid and pencil. Nyx has brow gel that was a lot less easy to smudge.
Absolutely fantastic!! Love it! 5

It's perfect! Definitely will be ordering more'
