The formula
A twist-up brow pencil that defines and fills the brows with fine, natural, hair-like strokes. A firm wax core of beeswax, microcrystalline and synthetic waxes holds a precise tip and lays down soft, buildable color that grips the brow and stays put through the day. The retractable tip needs no sharpening; build from a light, natural fill to a bolder, fully defined brow.
Taupe is a warm, soft taupe.
Finish: natural · Coverage: buildable · Long-wearing
Paraben-free. Cruelty-free. Made in North America.
