I got this pencil in Taupe and I find it to have some red tones which is ok because I'm a blonde but there is always red in my hair no matter what I can't get rid of it. This pencil is retractable and comes with a soft brush to blend the colour into the eye brows. It applies easy and is very blendable For now it's perfect because it gives my brows definition. I would recommend this but watch out for the red tones. I will be trying there brow powder in blonde next but I am satisfied.
