Review title is Can’t Use it By Itself [SEP] I had really high hopes for this product. It looks too dark, shiny, and fake when worn by itself, too much like an actual marker. If it looked more natural by itself, that would be great, because it definitely is smudge proof. It will not smear once it’s on. I like the idea of this product and the fact that it has a forked wand, but was not happy at all with how it looked on my eyebrows without using another product together.<br />I refused to give up on it though. I decided to use brow powder first and then this on top, and that actually worked out a lot better. Kept my brows in place without smearing.
