Maybelline Fashion Brow Duo Shaper Pencil Review

Maybelline Fashion Brow Duo Shaper Pencil Review

Hi guys,

I am so glad that brands in India are coming up with something for eyebrows which was forever ignored until now. I know so many women who make do with either black/brown eye pencil for eye brows. But now no more! We got the Fashion Brow Duo Shaper pencil by none other than Maybelline India.

What the Company claims: The Fashion Brow is the ultimate duo shaper with a natural mineral powder finish on one end and a 0.2mm micro lead tip pencil on the other to give you an ultra-soft precision for perfectly defined eyebrows up to 12 hours. It fixes gaps and blends seamlessly for smooth, stunning brows. If you’re not born with brows that are naturally full and shaped to perfection, Fashion Brow will guarantee you to get the best look for them.

Here’s why you will love it:
– Available in two variants, Brown and Grey.
– Duo shaper with a natural mineral powder finish.
– 0.2mm micro lead tip pencil.
– Double ended eyebrow pencil.
– Perfectly defined eyebrows up to 12 hours.
– Priced at Rs. 245 for 0.61g

I also love the fact that it is everything dual from two shade options i.e. Brown and Grey coz not every woman’s facial hair is of the same color. Brown is what usually works for everyone, but many a times brown looks stark and grey looks more natural. Try out both and what works best for you.

Powder on one side and Pencil on one

Also it has both powder and pencil in one, i.e. one side id mineral powder with a sponge tip applicator and one side is a very fine tip retractable pencil.

Now I have the ‘Brown’ one and the pencil part still looks a bit grey and is not completely brown. The pencil is a bit hard and you have to go with multiple soft strokes to define the shape. I am glad it is not creamier or too pigmented coz then it either melts off if creamy and one goes overboard if too pigmented.

L- Pencil, R- Powder

There is a very thin line between defined brows and artificial looking too much filled bushy brows! It is very easy to make out and the over-filled ones look very bad, trust me! The pencil is quite thin and perfect for defining the shape and adding just the required color. I use the pencil at the front and define the shape and then fill the outer half and the gaps with the powder side.

It stayed on me whole day with minimal fading! I quite like the Fashion Brow Pencil and also it is priced very economically, but the quantity is too less. You will finish the pencil part soon and the powder you just cannot see how much is used/left.

L- Powder, R- Pencil

I am not someone who fills eyebrows everyday or regularly. I have thick brows and I usually skip doing brows, though there are certain gaps I need to fill, but I am usually too lazy. I am glad I can now by carrying just a pencil, since it is very travel friendly too, now you can do your brows anywhere without carrying brow powder/brush, etc.

Here is my Before- After

Before – After

Absolutely love it and recommend it!

I am not sure if there are 27 shades or 32 shades, or maybe they have added 5 new shades.

Here are the 27 shades..

Maybelline’s Color Show range, whether it be nail paints or lipsticks, is a big hit! Coz they offer so many shades and are so economical plus they offer quality too!

Today I am reviewing the shades Fuchsia Flare,Orange Icon, Red Rush and Cherry Crush.

Fuchsia Flare is from the Pink family, Orange Icon is from the Brown family and Red Rush and Cherry Crush from the Red family.

To start with the packaging, they come in a black packaging with a thin transparent strip in between which denotes which color family the shade belongs to, isn’t that cool and makes it easy to identify too unless of course if you have more shades from the same color family.

They have a nice, sweet candy smell which I love. The colors are super pigmented and glide on like butter. All the shades are true to its names. They have a creme finish, so neither glossy nor matte.

L-R: Fuchsia Flare,Orange Icon,Red Rush,Cherry Crush
Clockwise from left: Fuchsia Flare,Orange Icon,Red Rush,Cherry Crush

These swatches are just 2 light swipes.

L-R: Fuchsia Flare,Orange Icon,Red Rush,Cherry Crush

They stay on for 3-4 hours and leave behind a stain,especially the darker colors. They can survive light snacks and drinks but not full meal. Also these are not transfer proof.

Here are these on moi..

Clockwise from left: Fuchsia Flare,Orange Icon,Red Rush,Cherry Crush

Fuchsia Flare is a true blue based fuchsia pink ( no hint of neon)

Orange Icon is a light orange color. It reminds of those orange wedges shaped sweets we used to get as kids and also orange gola 😀 It is slightly on the sheer side and goes a bit patchy.

Red Rush is a deep warm red which makes you teeth look whiter. It is the most pigmented of the lot.

Cherry Crush is a super pretty carrot pink..my favourite of the lot.

Overall, I would say these are perfect in terms of pricing,quality,quantity,pigmentation, shades available. I have no cons for these, the staying power could have been better but then no creme finish lipsticks stay longer than that anyway. Highly recommended!!
