Catrice Slim’Matic Ultra Precise Brow Pencil

Brows are one of the most important features of the face that can easily be changed. Which makes them very interesting in my opinion. You can make them bolder or thinner, and it will change the whole look of your face. I love brow products and when the seasons change so comes my desire to use a different brow product.

What does Catrice say about their product?
Statement brows, perfectly defined brow arches, a natural look – not a problem for the ultra-thin, automatic Brow Pencil thanks to its fine mine and integrated brush. The waterproof texture ensures long-lasting wow brows all day long!
They also say it’s free of perfume, alcohol and added parabenes and microplastics. It’s also vegan and cruelty-free according to European Law.

The product comes with a brow spoolie, which I must say is very helpful. This product comes in 6 colours and contains 15 mm of product. I have the colour 030 dark.

What do I think
I find the product quite dry, which means that when I use the product bits of it just break off. I find that a bit disappointing. After this complete let down I do find this product to be nice. I like the product and feel that it gives my brows a natural look while still giving enough colour. The staying power is quite good, I feel it stays on throughout the day. The flip side of this is the dryness of the product, it’s not as dry in use as you would expect but as I said it does break easily making it a very expensive product to use. It won’t be a rebuy but it’s none the less a fine product. The product retails for 3,49.
