I really like Profit Exactly My Forehead (I put on Shade 3), Anastasia Beverly Hills Forehead Wiz (Caramel) and Glossier Boy Forehead Arch Pencil (Cool Brown) the very best for brows. My most-used pencils are from ABH as a result of Caramel is the very best coloration for me. My pure hair coloration is nearly black however my brows are lots lighter so matching one thing to my hair often finally ends up trying too harsh however Caramel is the very best coloration for me.
