No, the color should not change once it has set in your brows. It also dries quickly and provides a smooth application.

I don't see any color change, but it will run if you sweat a lot, especially if you have put moisturizer on before using the product.

I live in the desert & its always kept its color & has never run....pretty good test I think.

No, I have never seen that happen and I am outside quite a bit.

I live where it gets 110+ outside. I have not noticed any color change due to being in the heat or perspiration.

with contact of water it tends to turn green....

NO; I've been wearing it in hot and humid central Illinois and Chicago and it stayed on fine. there was no color change.

I've had mine for 2 weeks now and it's already dry. It was great the first 2-3 times I used it but barely any comes out now. I always put the cap right back on after use and store it with the cap pointing down to help the liquid flow to the top but I don't think this helps much. There's no way to get more tint out w/out pressing really hard.

Yes, this pen does dry out. I usually have to buy a new one each month with daily use.

I found that you must return the cap right after using. In addition, store the pen with the cap end down so that the tip stays moist. That works for me. I love this product.

The first day I got this product, I left the cap off all day. I didn't have any problems with it drying out. But I'm sure just like with any other marker when the juice is out, it will get dry!

I have had mine since 2009, as long as you keep the cap on it, it will not dry out!

it will dry out - especially if you store it with the top end up. you should store it at least laying down, but standing up with the top end down would be best if you can. after a while you'll find that you'll need to shake it down to get the color to come out - almost like a paint pen (which is basically what it is).

as far as how long it will last, i'm not sure. i was incredibly unhappy with this product and didn't use it long enough to give a good answer on that one. sorry!

I think it would dry out if you left the cap off. Yes it is like a marker.

No, this product is not sweat proof. I have noticed it running down below my brows when I sweat. It's worse if you use any kind of moisturizer before applying your makeup. I use Smashbox brow powder and wax after using this pen and I still see it run when I sweat.

Sweatproof....yeah probably....waterproof....defineatly not!!!

Yes it is sweat proof.

ohh yes, smudge proof too :)

No, its not sweat-proof. It has good staying power, but sweat is the one thing that will take it off. I put a little bit of SheLaq (a makeup sealer by Benefit) over my brows when I'm done, and that helps keep the pen color from running even when I sweat. I recommend it. You can get it at Sephora too!

Yes. It last throughout the day.

unfortunately Anastasia only make 2 shades in this brow pen.

I would research whether there are beauty schools in your area. My girlfriend is studying to be an aesthetician and I've gone there to have my lashes tinted. It's super affordable and may be a good solution for your eyebrows.

The universal deep shade might actually be perfect for you. The only problem I have with it is that my brow are decidedly nearly black (even though my hair is dark auburn) and the deep shade has a decidedly auburn tint. I really think it's probably worth a try for you, and if you don't like it you can always bring it back, but i think it should be great. It's really a great product.

I think this has a reddish brown tint to it. I use the light colour so not sure about the dark one

This is just perfect for you I know because I am pale and recently have red hair (it look very natural on me) ahd I like my brows light but defined. I might think that you are going to be very happy with it.

Purchase the Universal Deep Shade for you dark brown brows. If you need it a little lighter shade, do not press as hard when applying.

I have natural dark brown/practically black hair and I use the dark pen on my brows. My brows are on the slightly thin side and this pen is perfect for filling in the sparse areas without looking like I painted my eyebrows.

Nope! This is the comment I just posted about Anastasia's brow products:

I've noticed that all of Anastasia's brow enhancers, whether they be pencil, gel or wax only comes in a limited amount of colors. Yes, you may have 3 or 4 to choose from, but what about the people who need dark brown or those that need black? If you are one of those people, this product won't work for you!

Yes it does

You can use it as a base and then put powder or use pencil on top of it.

It sounds like the Anastasia Brow Pen. Which happens to be what I use and I also have very sparse brows/barely any brows left. I like it more than pencil and powder it's too rough on extreme sparse brows.

Yes, it's like a brow filler but without any powder. It's basically a sheer magic marker. This is actually better than the powdery fillers because the teeny-tiny tip allows you to draw feathery strokes that truly mimic lashes. And it's sheer enough that it doesn't look dramatic. It *could* if you layer it, but a few strokes and it's amazing how well this fills your brow.

The tip of this is spongey and it comes out liquid but then doesn't budge easily. Haven't tried the brow filler but hope it's similar for your sake! Good luck!

This one is actually a marker with a fine felt tip, and buildable color. The more you go over the lines you've drawn, the darker they'll become, which is what allows users to customize it, and for women with varying haircolors to use it. There is no sponge tip at the end, because this marker is so fast drying that a sponge tip might not do anything to it once you have applied it. A spoolie brush will soften the effect a bit, though.

This product is like a felt tip marker crossed with a firm paint brush. very easy to use. Goes on wet like ink and then dries and skin is tinted the color of the pen. this is not powdery like the other product you are describing.

Sometimes mine lasts for 24 full hours. I make sure my face is totally dry (no moisturizers or lotions) and don't put any products near my eyebrows afterward. Seems to work for me!

I know this might not be the answer you are looking for, but there is a really great powder pencil out there with great staying power, but unfortunately it isn't from the Anastasia line. It is from IT which is Innovative Technology. http://www.itcosmetics.com/ The brow pencil is a universal shade which actually helps grow brows. For every pencil purchased, one is donated to the American Cancer Society.

I absolutely love all of Anastasia's products, but my main complaint is that the brown tint pen smudges on me when I sweat or when it rains. I would like the staying power to be up to par. The tip of the Anastasia's brown pen gets worn out over time too.

When I need a durable look for my brows, I turn to IT's universal brow powder eye pencil.

I have the same problem so I like using the Anastasia Brow Powder on top of it just to give it a little "set". Works great for me.

Try putting a makeup sealer over your brows when you are done filling them in...such as SheLaq by Benefit. This is a clear liquid with a brush attached to the inside of the bottle cap, and it comes with a set of mini-brushes. It only takes a little of this stuff to increase the staying-power of your brow color. I really hope that this suggestion helps...I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time doing your brows! :(

This pencil definitley last a lot longer than my regular pencil, and I've tried so many. Its definitley worth trying!

If you just need to fill in little spots here & there, i'd recommend the pen. Anything beyond that, such as shaping/ tinting, use the pencil. The pen becomes too dark and overwhelming if used for anything more than filling in sparingly and loses the natural look really quick.

This brow pen actually "stains"your skin under your brows...looks better than it sounds..then I top it with this brand of brow tint to cover my gray hairs. Go to the store and have them use it on you . I really love it.

since i am a big fan of the pen, i of course suggest the pen, 1 does not require sharpening and the point is thin enough and it's more controllable in my opinion, i have tried the powder and i like it too, i have used the pencil but not for long, i immediately switch back to the powder then later got the pen as soon as the light shade became available.

It depends on what effect you want. A pencil will give you a softer look, and the pen will give you a more defined look. I'd say its easier to create the look of individual hairs with the pen, because of the fine felt tip. One thing, though...unless you have a reddish tinge to your hair, you may want to go over your lines twice with the pen, because the color is a bit red. I'm not sure if that's a deal-breaker for you or not. I suggest going into a Sephora store with no makeup on your brows, and try it out. Make sure to go outside into the sun, and look in a mirror so you can see what it looks like in "true" light.

I actually use both the Perfect Brow Pencil and the Brow Pen, I use the Brown Pen to fill in the brow because I also have sparse brows and areas with missing hair. For me using the pencil to fill in the brows makes the hairs fall out more, so i just the pencil to define the brow shape.

Not at my local JC Penney.

My JCP near me has Anastasia products and this is one of theirs.

I'm not sure if JCPenney sells it, but you can always use your JCP card online and if the color isn't right for you, just go to Sephora and exchange it.

Yes!

Yes--at the Sephora Counter in J C Penny you can purchase this brow pen

I used a suoer fine brow pencil for the longest time and I felt the same way... I tried this and I love it so far.... It took a little bit of getting used to ... You cant apply this with a heavy hand at all. But it works much better than the super fine pencils out there. I hope this helps.

This definitely deposits plenty of color, much more than pencils. It's almost like a magic marker. It's a great concept, but it didn't work for me because even the lightest shade was too dark for my fair skin and hair. I would definitely buy it again if it came in a lighter shade. You may want to try a brow powder if you need something that deposits more color than a pencil. The Anastasia brow powder kits work well.

This pen will not go on easily if you have put on your foundation over your brows--it seems to not go on well if your brows have anything on them.

I've used the clinique superfine in burgundy when I occasionally tint my hair the same color. That pencil's great for filling but not for shaping. I've managed to fill in small gaps and smooth/blend the product. It sounds like you need require a little more color so i'd recommend a different clinique pencil. It's creamy like the retractable one and comes with a eyebrow brush to blend on the opposite end of the pencil. It's hard to over do it with this pencil & it gives a natural look with much more ease than any product I've tried. It's a normal pencil that does require sharpening.

If you can't see any color on your brows with your Clinique pencil, I would say its time to try something else. If you don't like the Brow Pen, Anastasia has a LOT of great eyebrow color options. Go to a Sephora store with no makeup on, and try out the testers. Good luck!
