I use this in Dirty Blonde. It's good - it looks pretty natural and as far as I've noticed it lasts all day. You can also layer this for a more striking look.

I purchased two of these in Taupe since it's only $10 at CCO. I have mid-asian skin with dark hair and taupe is a little too cool-toned brown for me. Texture is smooth but kinda waxy, doesn't really blend in with my brows. It didn't last all day on my combo skin and I do have to sharpen it pretty often, after 2-3 use.

Really love this pencil. its not too pigmented so that it doesnt go on too strong. i have this in black because i have very dark eyebrows and dark hair, i need to use it everyday because i have a gap in the arch of one of my eyebrows i like to fill everyday. it works really well its really buildable too in case you wanted a stronger colour because at first it comes out like a dark brown and to get it black just apply a bit more and your there. it definately lasts all day i dont even worry about it and it looks completely natural, you forget that theyre drawn on when you look in the mirror lol. its been discontinued for a few months now so i stocked up on extras whilst i could hoping i dont run out lol

love it! very natural, blends very well so no hard lines, doesn't fade or migrate. my brows aren't sparce, but lack definition, this pencil really helps me shape them without looking like i took a sharpie to them.

I really like this. Up until now I was using a CG brow pencil that I was comfortable with but the MAC is so much better. I have this in black and what I like about it is that it's a soft pencil without it being greasy. If it's humid out/or if I'm sweating, it doesn't transfer one bit. The color payoff is nice too. I was a little skeptical buying a black eyebrow pencil but the pigmentation isn't phony like some DS brands. It's very natural, and I will continue to repurchase :)

I love the consistency of the pencil, not too pigmented, it reminds me a bit of NARS eyebrow pencils. The pencil is also SUPER long and I imagine will last a very long time, so that's another plus!. The reason I only gave it 3 stars is because I purchased it in #Dirty Blonde which is described as a cool light brown. I'm naturally a REALLY light ashy brown/blonde and thought the color would be perfect as it's supposed to be 'cool' toned but when I used this on my brows it still came up with warmth and looked a bit unnatural. It's pretty depressing as otherwise this pencil would be great!.

I cannot say enough good things about this brow pencil! It's huge and worth every penny. It goes on smooth and lasts all day long. It looks very natural, I would repurchase in a heart beat!

I'm very pleased with this product!
I've used both eyeshadows and MAC Eye Brows to fill in my brows before, and this is definitely the easiest product to use.
It's not super pigmented (like the Eye Brows) so you don't have to worry about your brows looking too drawn on.
It's not as precise as the Eye Brows though, so if you like those super defined brows, I probably wouldn't get this.

This gives a pretty even color without having to brush your brows through afterwards, so it's great for traveling since you don't need to bring a brush for it, which you'd need to do with an eyeshadow.

I bought this in Taupe and I have light Asian skin with dark black hair... but sadly, my brows are so light and sparse. This is the first brow pencil I have ever tried and I have to admit that I am very pleased with the results. Previously, I would fill in my brows with Anastasia's brow powder in Brunette or MAC Brun, but what I didn't like about the finish of powder was that the products looked ashy on me in person.

The Taupe Impeccable Brow Pencil is described to be a "Mid-tone dirty taupe" and I find that quite true, but it should also be noted that there aren't any particularly red tones to this brown. This is good because I like my brows to look very natural and though I do have to use a brow brush to blend the colour, the end result is very natural looking. Not drawn on at all. However, don't get me wrong, the colour is still very buildable, so if I want stronger brows I can still achieve this look.

The wearing of this pencil is absolutely amazing! I applied my brow makeup at 10:00 am to go over to a friend's house for a barbeque and we all ended up staying the night playing video games (haha) so the next morning I was sure that my brows would wiped away on the pillow (since I'm a constant face-toucher as well) but my brows still looked the same as when I did them the morning before! I didn't even need to touch up! Eventually when we all finally went home around 7:00 pm the next day... my brows were still well in place :o)

I hope that this is really a permanent addition and not LE... because it definitely is a favourite!

Love love love! I bought this in Taupe and it is perfect for my complexion. I have black hair and tan skin. I thought the Taupe would be too light but it is actually the perfect color! I am so excited! Also the MAC MU said that this will be a permanent product. So I hope she is telling the truth or else I need to stock up on these!

I bought this on the same day that I purchased the Shu Uemura Brow Pencil because the MA at MAC told me that these are limited edition and she is already starting to run out of them. I swear, there is nothing that makes me want to buy a product more than hearing that there is only a few left in stock!! So I picked this up in Taupe because the lighter colors didn't look like they would work on me. She didn't have a tester for the Black, but she informed me that it was probably too dark for me anyway. Well, I have black hair and the reviewer below me seems to like it. Maybe I should visit another MAC counter to check it out, or is this just a case of thinking the grass is greener on the other side? Anyway, onto the review. I really love my Shu Uemura Brow Pencil in Seal Brown for an everyday natural look, but I like pulling out my MAC Impeccable Brow Pencil when I want my makeup to look very polished and "done" (like for a girls' night out or a party). It seems to me that the ideal "MAC look" is to have flawless and beautiful makeup, rather than a natural and subtle-looking face, like some other cosmetics companies. The MAC Impeccable Brow Pencil is perfect for achieving that MAC look, because it gives you very defined and shaped brows. It's great because it works for both shaping and filling in the brows.The color is pigmented, but you can use a finger (what I do) or a spoolie brush to soften it up. I'm not the best applicator of makeup out there, but I can imagine that makeup artists can created stunning brows with this thing (think full and high arches...like Kim Kardashian). Since I don't always have a steady hand, it's very easy for me to make mistakes and produce brows that look too thick/drawn in/fake, so I have to be careful with this, which is a caution I don't have to worry about with the Shu Uemura Brow Pencil. Lastly, I think I would prefer this over MAC's automatic brow pencils, because those tend to go on too dark and then disappear when rubbed out with my finger, instead of softening up. Plus, I don't like how they are so thin.

This review is for the new IMPECCABLE BROW PENCIL it is amazing I am inlove. I have it in black and it is the perfect color if you have jet black hair or really dark hair. It's not black black like sharpie eyebrows it's the perfect shade if your a brunette the pencil is comparable to lingering but as you may know lingering does not last that long this pencil is one that is sharpened and it's give well defined brows. it is my HTG for sure
