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
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
It's so great that even when I draw with a lot of force, I can't get Crayon Shin-chan's eyebrows right!🥺🥺 It's expensive, but it's worth the price. It's a great eyebrow setting product.
Cons
It's great that there are many color options so you can carefully select the color that suits you best.

Pros
The wood is thin and delicate, allowing for fine and detailed drawing. The colors are also very natural-looking, which is great. It's also easy to draw the skin texture.
Cons
Aside from the slightly high price, there is nothing else lacking. It is truly the best among Aestura products.

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
First, I'm shouting out that I've completely revamped the shape and drawing of my eyebrows!! It's really so easy to draw, the colors are just right, and the red, curly appearance is so pretty. I've tried a lot of eyebrow products, and if I had to choose the best one, it would definitely be Espoir without a doubt. It's that good. But lately, there's a similar eyebrow product at the Daiso that looks just like it, which is a bit disappointing. But even if they made it the same way, Espoir is still better. There's no clumping and it applies so smoothly.
Cons
The core is thin, so it breaks easily. But the thin, triangular-shaped core is so good that it overcomes that.

Pros
The core part and the screw part of the cap were often the same, which was confusing. But this product has an embossed logo on the core part, making it easier to find, and this part also provided a better grip. The thin triangular-shaped core was good for detailed drawing and helped define the outline well. The back screw part was also thin and not blunt, making it easy to smudge.
Cons
Since the core was thin, it would sometimes break, and there were cases where the core would completely fall out after a short period of use. When I tested it on the back of my hand, the color appeared as a deep brown, so I thought it would be good to use when the dyed color faded. But when I actually applied it to my eyebrows, the color developed as an intense, cool-toned brown, which was disappointing. As it is a product for filling in thin lines, it was good for detailed drawing, but it seemed difficult to use for those without good hand skills.

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.
