Professional Eyebrow Pencil in 001 Dark Brown by Rimmel London product review

It was recently brought to my attention (by my beautician nonetheless) that my current eyebrow pencil is too dark for my face. I had on this instance in question applied far too much of my usual Constance Carroll eyebrow pencil in 001 Black and was too pushed for time to take it off and reapply it. Naturally I looked a right state and like I'd had my eyebrows tattooed on that day. I have very dark brown hair with even darker eyebrows which until recently I thought were black hence the black eyebrow pencil. I've previously used the Professional Eyebrow Pencil in 001 Dark Brown by Rimmel London when I first received it as a freebie sometime ago. The dark brown colour labelled on the pencil was a little too light for my dark eyebrows.

Recently however, I re-visited the Professional Eyebrow Pencil in 001 Dark Brown by Rimmel London and compared it with my usual Constance Carroll eyebrow pencil in 001 Black. After tweaking and plucking my eyebrows I then evened out the colouring and shape using the  Professional Eyebrow Pencil in 001 Dark Brown by Rimmel London on my right eyebrow. At first, there was a noticeable brown line present amongst the hairs and definitely did not match the colour of my dark brows. However, the bonus of the Professional Eyebrow Pencil in 001 Dark Brown by Rimmel London is that the pencil comes with a small eyebrow brush on the lid which I used to sweep the colour across the brow. As a comparison I applied the Constance Carroll eyebrow pencil in 001 Black to my left eyebrow and the difference was obvious. The right eyebrow looked more natural than the much darker left eyebrow. The key is definitely to use the sweeping eyebrow brush Professional Eyebrow Pencil in 001 Dark Brown by Rimmel London as it blends the colour making it look more natural. I've since come to realise that unfortunately my beloved Constance Carroll eyebrow pencil in 001 Black is just too black for my skin tone.
