Pros
The product is very nice as it is thin, with the color payoff not being too intense or too light, and it applies smoothly and evenly with each stroke.
Cons
The product seems to have weak durability, so it gets easily wiped off and is sensitive to oil.

Pros
Skin type: I have a combination skin type, but the eyebrow area is a bit oily. To enhance the pigmentation and prevent clumping when filling in my eyebrows, I apply powder before drawing them on. Spreadability / Longevity: Both the adherence and longevity are quite good! Other brow products would sometimes feel like they were just slipping off, but this one adheres well to the skin without needing to be applied forcefully. It stays in place for a long time. I can wear this brow product for over 6 hours, even when I'm out and about, and it doesn't budge or fade from the original shape I created. It lasts extremely well, even after a long time. Texture / Color: The texture is more powdery and glides on smoothly, rather than feeling overly creamy. It's not too soft, but also not so stiff that it's painful to apply. The texture is just right. I originally bought the #6 Taupe Brown shade, but was looking for a more daily-friendly brow product. The color I ended up choosing is similar to the Etude House brow I normally use, but a bit lighter. The color ended up being just perfect - not too dark, with an ashy-warm brown tone. It's an ideal daily brow shade, with the ashy and reddish-brown tones, that can be applied lightly for a soft look. I used to avoid using thin brow products and would just draw on my brows, but it was really difficult and I ended up looking unnatural in photos. Thanks to this Espoir product, I've discovered the benefits of using a thin brow product. The great spreadability allows me to fill in my brows precisely and effortlessly. The pigmentation is also excellent, making it easy to create natural-looking brows.
Cons
📂 Value for Money: Without a discount, the price is around 16,000 won per unit, so it's quite expensive. Since spending that much on brow products is burdensome for me, I only purchase it when it's on sale. I recommend waiting for discounts. 📂 Firmness: The formula is great for regular use, but when trying to apply it directly on bare skin, it's a bit too firm, so it doesn't go on smoothly. In my opinion, this brow product requires some powder application. Applying it directly on bare skin can be uncomfortable. However, if you apply some powder first, it applies nicely, so I recommend doing a powder application before using it.
Tip
I've repurchased it twice and am using it now ㅠㅠ The Espoir brow is really the best! I highly recommend it to those of you who also find eyebrow drawing difficult. I'm so satisfied with it 🥹❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 📌 TIP: If you use it on bare skin with some oil, it can be a bit hard to apply, so I recommend using it after applying powder first ‼️

Pros
You can achieve a neat eyebrow expression. The shape is good, making it easy to groom. The pigmentation is vivid yet not overly creamy. The lasting power is good. The color has been beautifully picked. I recommend this eyebrow pencil without any reddish tones to those with natural hair.
Cons
The pigmentation is quite strong, so it may be difficult for beginners or those with very light eyebrows to use.
Tip
Use of the scrub brush is essential!

Pros
The Etude House Drawing Eyebrow Pencil has a comfortable grip and excellent control for detailed application. The #4 Ash Brown shade has a grayish tone without any reddish undertones, and it applies beautifully. Etude House's pencils have the thinnest cores, and their unique triangular shape allows for a sharp, precise tip to fill in brows hair by hair. The round, firm spoolie brush allows for controlled blending without disturbing the color.
Cons
The color range is quite extensive, and there are noticeable differences in pigmentation between shades. For those who find the #4 shade too intense, the #6 Light Taupe is recommended.

Pros
The pencil is thin and delicate, making it great for detailed drawing. The pigmentation is excellent! It doesn't clump or get cakey, and applies smoothly. The color range is diverse, and the ash brown shade is just right - not too reddish or yellow.
Cons
The longevity doesn't seem to be exceptional. The tail of the eyebrow tends to wear off easily.

1. Natural color payoff - Other eyebrow products tend to apply heavily, but the Espoir product applies naturally [Recommended even for beginners] 2. Detailed application - The thin core helps with detailed application
Cons
1. Weak cap - This is a common downside for other products as well, where the cap doesn't close properly after some time

Pros
I think this is really my favorite brow product. I've used it over 10 times!! It applies thinly and beautifully, and the color payoff is natural and pretty.
Cons
To be honest, I didn't notice any downsides when I used it, but if I had to find one, it's that it's thin and tends to break easily.

Pros
The color is great The pigmentation is extremely well-applied It applies smoothly I can draw details precisely The longevity is average I plan to repurchase in different shades
Cons
The lid doesn't seem to fit quite right, not sure if it's a defect in the one I bought It's not like it's constantly popping open and rolling around But there's just something off about it, so I have to really press it down to close it
Tip
The pigmentation is incredibly well-applied, so you can just effortlessly swish it around

Pros
👉🏻 Skin Type: Combination 👉🏻 Personal Color: Spring Warm ✔️ Overall Review: : This is the eyebrow product of my life. I'm on my third tube and once I use this, I can't use anything else. The color payoff is great and it glides on smoothly. ✔️ Color Payoff 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 : I think this is the biggest advantage of this product. I love the scratchy texture and how the color is deposited evenly with just one swipe. The color payoff is excellent and it applies beautifully. ✔️ Easy to Use 👍🏻 : After watching Minsco's tutorial video once, even a beginner can easily recreate the look. It applies smoothly - you can create thin strokes and fill in the brows with the thicker side. ✔️ Color 👍🏻 : I've tried shades 1 and 4, and I think shade 4 looks more natural and prettier. Even when layering, it doesn't look harsh or unnatural - the color payoff is just beautiful.
Cons
✔️ No Downsides : This is truly my holy grail product. I'm sticking with this eyebrow pencil.

Pros
This is one of the products I've been using for a while. The color payoff is good, and it seems fine as long as you don't rub it too much.
Cons
The quantity seems a bit small. I'm not someone who has sparse eyebrows, but I use it mainly to shape the ends, and it feels like it gets used up quickly...
