A fantastic eye pencil. I bought it in Brun Naturel for $45 (AUD) in Myer. I love the texture (satiny but not slippery) with a very natural and blendable colour. It comes with a brush at the end and a sharpener. Very useful.
My second time buying this! My hair is dark brown, almost black and so I bought this eyebrow pencil from Chanel in the second darkest colour (which is like a soft black, essentially) and it is amazing. It lasts forever. I keep my eyebrows full (like "model" eyebrows) and I brush them up when styling them. I have a few sparse areas though and that is where this pencil comes in! I use this along with Anastacia's tinted eyebrow gel in "Granite" and it's a killer combination. I get compliments on my eyebrows daily. I just may use this Chanel eyebrow pencil forever!

Best eyebrow pencil I´ve ever had! I have it in the shade Brun Cendré. The sales lady at the Chanel counter recommended this for me and it´s just match my eyebrow color perfectly. Will buy it again when it ends, but this pencil will last for a long time before I had to buy a new one. Love the cute sharper it comes with and the brush on the other side of the pen, I use it every time.
Chanel had recently revamped their entire eyebrow pencil collection by releasing the crayon sourcils sculpting eyebrow pencil range. I had tested Chanel's previous eyebrow pencil range and was unimpressed. Colour selections were poor; ie. the browns had too much of red undertone and lasting power was poor as it would smudge easily when you sweat. I was a loyal fan of Shu Uemura's hard 9 brow pencil in Seal brown for years until I realised that the shu pencil just wasn't cutting it anymore. It just wasn't performing as well.
During a recent trip to the Chanel makeup studio, I decided to try their eyebrow pencil. I had the SA try the pencil on me and I was instantly blown away by how nicely defined my brows were. I am extremely particular about my brows and will be frustrated if my brows are not done correctly. I purchased the brow pencil and have been using it ever since. I am genuinely impressed with the color selection and longevity of this brow pencil. I have worn it for 10 to 12 hours straight, slept with it and my brows still look very decent with no smudging or fading.
Pricewise I do not find this pencil to be too expensive as it contains quite a lot of product. In fact I find other brow pencils such as MAC's brow pencil to be atrociously expensive. I had purchased MAC's brow pencil and finished that in a month! I was also asked several times by friends as to whether I had my eyebrows professionally embroidered. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good quality brow pencil. For reference I have fair/light skin and dark brown/black hair and I am using #40 brun cendre. I will definitely be repurchasing this when I run out.
