Colorbar Brow Pencil Chestnut – Review
Price : Rs 725 | Available online at Amazon.in.
It is not often that I’m disappointed by a Colorbar product but unfortunately the Colorbar Brow Pencil did not live up to my expectations. Brow pencils should ideally have a slightly dry texture and the color should be sheer so that you don’t up with heavy, overpowering brows. This brow pencil feels very creamy and the color is so rich that you’d think this is a gel eye liner pencil and not a brow pencil. That doesn’t go to say that it is not usable but you need to be very careful with this. The first time I swatched this on the back of my hand, a good chunk of the tip broke off because it was so soft and creamy.
I hope Colorbar considers reformulating this to a harder, drier formula because this kind of creaminess and intense color just doesn’t work well in an eyebrow pencil. The color is a very intense dark brownwhich should suit people with dark brown/black brows but a lighter option would be nice too as this would quite dark and intense for anyone with lighter brows. The one thing in its favour is the spoolie at the other end which is very handy to brush the brow hair into place.
As you can tell, I’m not a big fan of the product. If you’re on the lookout for an eyebrow pencil or kit, I’d suggest Rimmel/Maxfactor/Maybelline for brow pencils and Natio/L’Oreal Paris for brow kits.

Whoa! Its too pigmented 🙁 I had an experience with such a creamy eye brow pencil once. I finished it up using it with an angled brush!
This would definitely make me look Oompa Loompa.. Would give it a pass
It looks so creamy that can be used as eye pencil. Ncie review!
This looks amazingly pigmented. Looks nice, but I get a feeling that it is easy to go over board with this.
OMG it is so intensely pigmented! Definitely will make brows look heavy and harsh! But the shade is nice to be used as a eye pencil and the addition of a spoolie is very helpful <3
This looks too creamy and dark. I prefer wax and powder kits for matte eyebrow look. It looks more cleaner and well shaped 🙂
Too creamy. That is reason I liked the MNY one a lot, it dry but gives control. Nice review 🙂
This is my first ever brow product and at first I didn't like it but since cannot waste I tried using very light strokes as if it barely touches the skin underneath brows but just brow hair and it works for me 🙂 As Komal mentioned I should try with an angled brush *somehow I am lazy with brushes as one more to wash* hahaha
I love it for its intense pigmentation and minimal effort to build in the color. the spoolie is such a saviour
Thanks for review…the shade is really good..
well next i wish to buy Natio brow kit… as i finish off with current Deborah Milano one…
I would prefer Maybelline eyebrow duo over this…
It definitely looks a bit too creamy for a brow product!
It definitely seems too creamy for brow use :/ I was hoping to pick it up because I need that spoolie
