Not the same as the one without a brush. Color is WAY too light even on the palest skin. Must be mixed to see it well. [SEP] Not the same color. Now different formula. The natural blonde is way too light, you have to mix with a darker color to see it, and I have VERY white skin, still too hard to see. Mixed it with a taupe color and faded it into this one. It's salvagable. I think they discontinued the LONG pencil without the brush the shade was called &#34;blonde&#34;. That was my go to pencil. now it's discontinued GO FIGURE! My hair color is light natural blonde,( baby blonde) Guess good things can't last forever. PSH
