better than nothing but not great [SEP] i may just not be skilled at applying this but if you are not careful and apply too heavily or unevenly you can look like groucho marx an old comedic movie star with giant bushy eyebrows for a few days as it does not wash off the good news is if you are skilled and know how to add just enough brow strokes properly and evenly it stays put for days would not recommend you start with this until you get skilled with a removable eyebrow pencil
