I grabbed this the second I saw it release. I had gotten one in my boxycharm a few months back. same formula, just no spooly. this is the same just a little bigger tip which is still ok. lasts all day, looks natural. i use spiked and I have very dark brown hair with medium toned skin.
I have been using MAC spiked for over 10 years. It's my go to product. I was told they added the brush and I was immediately concerned and now I know for good reason. It retracts on it's own and the pencil is flimsy. The day I used it for the first time, it completely fell out of the tube and I had to put it back. MAC needs to go back to the basics on this or either make the pencil more sturdy like the ABH product or I rather not have the brush at all. I tried ABH once but preferred the regular MAC pencil without the brush. I hate this new product. I hope someone who makes decision is listening. I will not purchase it again with the brush! I will spend the extra money for the ABH product or find something else comparable. This is an EPIC Fail for MAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PROS: (1) good neutral tone for blondes (2) even after reformulation a few years ago, it's fine, stays on unless rubs off when putting clothes on, however by end of day I have shorter eyebrows always CONS: (1) price went up from about $16 ten years ago to now a whopping $21. Seems every time I log in it goes up. (2) it's out of stock, so I don't get the free shipping advertised even though I'm paying over $35. Before, MAC used to always offer free shipping. Now - even though it's their problem it's out of stock - I have to call them again after I receive it to "remove" the $7 shipping charge. THIS IS A HASSLE, DISRESPECTFUL OF CUSTOMER TIME, AND A REALLY LOW WAY TO MAKE MONEY AS A COMPANY (3) Can't say it's "highly pigmented." It's pigmented "enough". OVERALL: I've been loyal to this unbeatable color eyebrow pencil for over a decade, but this last shipping disrespect combined with their obnoxious price increases is what's given me the final kick to find a good dupe. Make-up tech moves quickly - high-end techniques, ingredients, properties end up filtering down to drug-store brands within a year or two. Just gotta do a research project now to see other brands that carry good eyebrow pencils for blondes or go to the main competitors which I can't mention by name in a review.

Finally, a great eyebrow pencil that's a lighter color - I was thrilled to find this MAC taupe blonde (Fling). It gives the definition you want to your eyebrows without being heavy-looking and dark! I bought two at once so i would have enough.

I love it so much this product ♥️

wish it had more pencil inside or refills

This eyebrow pencil never fails. It provides a sharp line, deep color and varies in shade depending upon a more natural or glamorous effect. I hope Mac does not discontinue this item as it is hard to find. I purchased three just in case. LOVE!

I could barely get any color to show up even though I did it over and over. The drugstore brands go on so much easier.

A must have pencil for well-defined eyebrows! It lasts long and is easy to use. Worth the price!

The back in the day eyebrow pencil was a lot thinner when coloring and heavy when you hide it this seems a little cheaper it's okay

I like that you can make it as light or dark as needed without making harsh lines…

I've tried a few different kinds but this one is the one I will stay with. Thin brows that are grey needed something. This one is it.

I'm always looking for a new eye brow styled and was excited to try this one. Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The pencil is super dry and the color takes a lot of effort to apply. I definitely can't use it if I'm in a rush. It's also not very pigmented. I do like that it gives a natural finish. Overall it's an ok eye brow pencil if you've got time to wait for the color to actually show.

This pencil really works well for shaping my eyebrows. Very easy to apply.

This brow pencil is awesome. A little goes a long ways. I can see this pencil lasting a long time making it worth the price. My eyebrows looked natural and it lasted all day.

The Mac Cosmetics Eye Brows Styler in the color Stud was a pretty nice eyebrow pencil. The color was bold and showed up well and I like the hold of the pencil but the product was a little too thick for my licking, I like the pencil to be a little on the thinner side making it easier for me to actually draw my eyebrows with it and also the color was a tidbit too dark for me as well all in all if I had this product in a different colors and it was thinner it def would have gotten 5 stars no problem! It performs well and produce great color without a doubt.

This eyebrow styler is great! It's very handy because it comes with a brush. It's thin enough to make natural looking eyebrow strokes, but it's also thick enough to cover sparse areas. My only issue is that I have to apply a bit more pressure than I'd like to see the product appear on my eyebrows. But luckily it lasts long!

I've never really tried any brow products from MAC but I was super excited to receive this. The shade is perfect for my dark hair and the fine pencil gives you the ability to draw on hair like strokes. It stayed on without smudging. My eyebrows didn't appear flaky or messy.
Mariah from Los Angeles
This eyebrow pencil is okay. The formula is so so.
Tamara94 from California
I've been using this non-stop since I received this. I was selected to review this product. So here is my honest review. This pencil is more drying than other brands, but it is my favorite. I love it simply because it is so easy to use. Do you know how the "natural brows" are in style? Well, this will do just that.

It has no pigmentation, it is very thin and it hurts when trying to put it on.
TinaBean from West Sacramento
The shape of the tips is perfect for thin and thick brows, the color was on point, the formula is not too waxy creamy or dry. It's the perfect medium in consistency. I always love a good double ended brow product with a spooley on the end. Great product, would definitely recommend!!
Connie from Los Angeles
Natural, thick brows in two easy steps! The retractable pen glides easily and delivers great pigment to fill in the brows and the brush is a great size to sweep and blend the product into the eyebrows. I would recommend,
Gelica from Toledo
Nice smooth application. Long lasting.
Natalie from Brooklyn, NY
I was so excited to try this product because I've never quite found an eyebrow pencil that was perfect for me. My eyebrows are dark but not very full, so I'm always hesitant to try a darker shade in case it looks too unnatural. This pencil came in "stud," a very dark brown, almost black, shade. I was scared it would look too dark and bold on my brows, but it actually was perfect! The shade looks very natural and goes on smoothly. I actually think this pencil is the easiest to apply out of all the eyebrow products I've used in the past. I was very impressed. I also like that it stays throughout the day and I don't need to do any touchups. I would buy this product and will recommend it to friends and family!
