Overall, the shade was a good match for my strawberry blonde hair, but because the formula is so soft it often goes on a bit strong and ends up looking a tad dark, and it can be difficult to be precise. I tend to prefer eyebrow pencils that are a bit firmer and therefore easier to control and build up color with. Also, the pencil itself is quite bulky, while I really like having the spoolie on one end and think that it makes sense to have it there, I feel that the sharpener would be more practical if it were separate or removable.
