Brow 1990 Sheer Gel Pencil

MERIT Brow 1990 Sheer Gel Pencil is a microfine brow pencil for people who want fullness without obvious product. The ultra-fine tip draws soft hair-like strokes and the gel formula glides on without dragging the skin, so you fill only the gaps that need it.

Format	Microfine twist-up gel pencil
Finish	Sheer, natural-looking fullness
Key ingredients	Sunflower oil · safflower extract · hibiscus flower extract
Callouts	Vegan and cruelty-free

What it actually does

• Fills gaps instead of drawing a whole brow. MERIT designed it to be used only where you need it, which is why the finish reads natural.
• Draws precise, soft strokes. The micro tip is what makes hair-like strokes possible rather than a solid block of colour.
• Glides without pulling. The brand says the soft gel formula applies smoothly, with no tugging or pulling on the skin.
• Conditions the hairs it touches. Sunflower oil brings vitamin E and lightweight moisture, safflower extract is said to encourage softer, suppler hair, and hibiscus flower extract supplies amino acids that help condition.
• Vegan and cruelty-free. Listed by MERIT as both.

How to use

1. Twist up no more than 1 mm. MERIT is firm about this — any more and the tip is liable to break.
2. Use short, gentle strokes. Work the precise tip into any gaps or anywhere you want more definition.
3. Want a fuller brow? MERIT suggests laying down Brow 1980 Volumizing Tinted Eyebrow Gel-Pomade (sold separately) first for volume and hold, then defining on top with this pencil.

Is it right for you?

Questions

Why does it keep breaking?

Almost always because it has been wound up too far. MERIT's instruction is to twist it up a maximum of 1 mm and to apply with gentle strokes — that is the stated way to prevent breakage with this tip.

Can I layer it with another brow product?

Yes. MERIT's own routine is Brow 1980 Volumizing Tinted Eyebrow Gel-Pomade underneath for volume and hold, then Brow 1990 on top wherever you want sharper definition. The pomade is sold separately.

What do the plant extracts actually do?

MERIT highlights three: sunflower oil for vitamin E and light moisture, safflower extract to encourage softer and more supple hair, and hibiscus flower extract for amino acids that help condition the hair.
