medium gray and waterproof [SEP] i have several of this type of eyebrow pencil but in a different shade these are the kind that allow you to try make lines that look like hairs though i have never been really all that good at doing that this is the first gray color eye brow pencil i have used and i like it pretty well the gray color is medium not dark or light but right there in the middle i use a very light touch and short strokes to get the color where i want it i have scant eye brow hairs and have to fill in to make it look like i have full eyebrows i like how this did it seems to be waterproof and i really need waterproof because i play a lot of tennis and sweat a lot on the court under the hot sun in the deep south i sweated a lot at practice last night and when i woke up this morning my eyebrows were still mostly there i cannot complain about that
