Pros
This product has been in use since the fall of 2023 until the present. It is applied smoothly, not too dark, and looks natural, so even those with thick eyebrows or beginners can use it sufficiently. The triangular shape allows you to draw the tail of the eyebrow with the thin part and fill in the overall part of the eyebrow with the thicker part, lasting all day.
Cons
I use it daily, so that may be the case, but it has a small capacity and is somewhat pricey, I think.
Tip
First, use powder to control excess oil. Since the eyebrows are quite dark, just make minimal touches and follow the natural grain to draw them, which will look the most natural and last all day.

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
It's great for drawing as it's thin. After applying powder, the longevity is improved.
Cons
There is still some oil left, so it tends to bleed. Also, you have to use it sparingly.

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

The application is natural-looking and has good staying power. The color is lovely.

Pros
I really enjoy just gliding it on effortlessly. The longevity is great, and I especially like how it doesn't smear thanks to the shape! Surprisingly, the grip feels quite nice too. At first I was a bit unsure, but after using it, it just feels so natural to apply. I think this will become my go-to brow product going forward.
Cons
I don't really have any downsides to mention. I guess I'd just wish they had sales and discounts a bit more often..?

Pros
- The color is a slightly reddish-brown gray. It does not have a reddish or yellowish tint, so it looks natural like your natural eyebrows. It's a color that suits even those with natural hair well, and it's recommended for those who usually style their eyebrows naturally. - Good staying power. The tail of the eyebrow also lasts a long time. - The triangular shape is good for quickly filling in the sparse areas between the eyebrows, with the pointed end for the tail and the wider area for the body of the eyebrow. - The formula is fine but quite firm. It doesn't get too soft easily, so there is less clumping, and it applies the hairs naturally one by one. The swatch photo looks clumped, but I didn't notice that much when using it on the eyebrows. - The design is fresh and pretty. The square design provides a good grip, and it doesn't roll around on the vanity.
Cons
- Personally, I wish the undertone was a bit warmer, but it's not a major issue. - The pigmentation is not as good on skin without much oil. The swatch photo was taken after applying foundation. - There's no separate sharpener included. - Compared to other drugstore eyebrow products, it's on the pricier side and doesn't have as many discounts. The product quality is good, but the design seems to add to the cost. The barrel is quite large compared to the thickness of the product.
