Review : Empro Triangular Eyebrow Auto Pencil




Information from Empro's website

The triangular shape of Empro’s pencil tip, which makes it easy to draw a thick line for the first half of the eyebrow, while the thinner tip creates the thin line towards the outer half of the brow.

This Triangular Eyebrow Pencil has a brow brush for user to even the colour shade on the brow. It is long lasting, this revolutionary eyebrow pencil does not need re-sharpening and does not break easily like conventional eyebrow pencils. This translates into less wastage and big savings. The innovative triangular tip ensures that users get perfect brows in 2 easy steps. The unique design of the triangular tip is very easy to control when drawing from front to tail in order to give you a natural eyebrow. Even those who lack experience in drawing eyebrows will find that its easy application yields perfect results every time.

Empro Triangular Eyebrow Pencil is made of 100 % natural ingredients and is suitable for all skin types: dry, oily, sensitive and combination. It comes in five attractive shades: brown, natural brown, golden brown, blonde and natural grey. Each shade could draw up to 3 tones and it is suitable for all women, young and mature.

Empro Triangular Eyebrow Pencil is one of the top 10 best selling item in Sasa. This eyebrow pencil won the Best Eyebrow Pencil Award from Watsons and it also won the Best Colour Shade Award from Cosmopolitan magazine.


The direction of use and ingredients stated on the product box


This Triangular Eyebrow Auto Pencil is the 2nd generation of Empro eyebrow pencil. The reason why is it called triangular eyebrow pencil is obviously because the shape of the lead is of triangular shape. This is also an auto twist out eyebrow pencil , which save the effort of needing to sharp it.



On the other end of the lead is the brush , where it is used to comb our eyebrow to blend and even up the color after application. And I do like this brush because it helps to lighten and even up my eyebrow color after I applied too much. Read further down to find out more.



The lead is softer compare to Empro 1st generation eyebrow Slim Cut Dual Lead Brow Auto Pencil. I just do one stroke of the swatch and can get the intensity of the color above. And the color that I got is e3 Golden Brown and suit my eyebrow color perfectly.



This is my before picture



This is my after picture

I followed the instruction stated on the product box i.e start applying the inner corner of the brow using the thick lead and lightly stroke upwards to the highest part of the arch. Then use the thin lead to stroke from the arch to outer corner of my brow.

As you can see on the above picture, I applied too much eyebrow color until it looked unnatural and fierce.



The eyebrow here look more natural right ? Because I used the brush to comb my eyebrow to tone down and even up the color here.

Between the 2 eyebrow pencil Slim Cut Dual Lead Brow Auto Pencil which I reviewed earlier and this Triangular Eyebrow pencil, I personally prefer the later one because:-

1)The triangular shape of the lead make the whole application of eyebrow become easier, especially when doing the arch of each of my eyebrow
2) The texture of the eyebrow pencil is softer, so I do not need to apply pressure when applying it
3) The brush that comes with it is equally as important as the lead as it helps to lighten and even up the color of the eyebrow after application


Price of Empro Triangular Eyebrow Auto Pencil : RM38.80/each and it is available at Watsons, Sasa and Empro outlets.

Review: Empro HD Slim Cut Dual Lead Brow Auto Pencil


Info from Empro's website
The whole new Slim Cut brow auto-pencil comes with a slim design delivers precise application for evenly defined brows. Its smear-proof formula wears all-day and blends easily with eyebrow hair.

It contains herbal essences which nourishes and stimulates hair growth for sparse and uneven eyebrows. Sculpts and defines the eyebrow with rich, natural looking pigments to softly frame the eyes.

The firm and smooth texture allows for maximum control and enables every woman, especially beginners to easily achieve perfectly drawn eyebrows. Contains rich, intense pigments in 4 natural colours.

Empro HD - Slim Cut Dual Lead Brow Auto-Pencil, the ultimate in brow definition.

* Dual Lead 2 colours (Soft Brown & Olive Brown)
* Natural Ingredients
* Long Lasting
* Brow Hair Enhancement
* Precise Application
* Suitable For All Skin Type



This is made in Korea and it comes as a dual lead, 2 colors , one soft and one hard.



The texture of both the leads are quite hard and the color came out light. And need to re-apply to get the intensity of the color. This is an auto twist out eyebrow pencil which you do not need to sharp it. I tried to rub and wash off the swatch, it's smear proof as it claims!


This is how slim & sharp the lead is .

Word of advice, don't twist out too long the lead when drawing your eyebrow, cause it will cause the lead to break.



My say
As I just shaped my eyebrow by Shu Uemura, the shape of my eyebrow is still in good condition. And I just need to touch up by applying short stroke on my eyebrow (apply stroke by stroke slowly following the direction of my eyebrow growth) to to fill up the color gap.

However I took some time to fill up my eyebrow because the lead is hard. And the good thing about this is I will not get over excited in filling too much color on my eyebrow. And I guess this Empro HD Slim Cut Dual Lead Brow Auto Pencil will be perfect for people with very thin eyebrow shape as the lead is very thin and sharp and this will give precise application. And I think my eyebrow color looks very natural after application.

Tips : One SA told me before that if we want to fill up the gap in our eyebrow easily using any eyebrow pencil, always remember to powder up a bit on the eyebrow areas (i.e apply a thin layer of loose powder or powder ) as the eyebrow pencil color do not work on sticky or wet surface.

Price of Empro HD Slim Cut Dual Lead Brow Auto Pencil : RM68.80/each and it is available at Watsons, Sasa and Empro outlets.

I love my new eyebrow shape now , by Shu Uemura!


I received a letter from Cosmopolitan last month!

Thank you !!!!

Happy I won Shu Uemura's eyebrow shaping service, eyebrow pencil and eyelash curler!

Which all the above, I have NOT tried before ! Yippeeee

I always heard about how good is Shu Uemura eyebrow trimming service but always no chance to try, and thanks to Cosmopolitan I am able to try for free!

I went to Shu Uemura's Midvalley to see Lisa Yap as she is the Shu Uemura International Accredited Artist and Brow Stylist after letting my eyebrow growing like jungle for a month.

Lisa went on plucking~plucking ~ and after 10 mins she is already done with her art work !

p/s: In Shu Uemura they do not use eyebrow shaver for the reasons our eyebrow re-grow quickly after shaving.


Anyway am going to show you my eyebrow jungle!


p/s: love my eyebrow shape now, the shape is so sexy!

The whole process was a bit painful as normally I do not pluck or shave my own eyebrow. Normally my facial therapist or makeup artist who is doing makeover for me will shave it off for me.

Minutes later, I found my new looks (giggles.. as if I have seen myself before).. I love it, it loojed neat, tidy and stylish. And I feel my eyes is more awake with the shape that Lisa created. And yeh more spaces for eyeshadow for highlighting.

p/s: I have tried threading and waxing as well, but I think plucking eyebrow is still the best before the shape is more well define.

I was advice to go back for trimming 3-4 weeks later to maintain the shape.



My new ME!




My prize !



The eyebrow pencil ! I am learning to use this ! So far so good!


Lisa Yap eyebrow shaping service is RM50 while Shu Uemura Brow Atelier done by their makeup artist in-store are RM30 for eyebrow reshaping and RM20 for eyebrow keeping (i.e to remove the grown hairs)

I think Lisa's service is definitely worth it as this is the first time my eyebrow are really well-defined, clean and most importantly balance.

So what do you think ??

p/s: I think I am truly a convert now.. if in future I need reshaping of eyebrow shape, would look for Lisa ! And I think the price is reasonable for the skills that she has !

Note: Shu Uemura Midvalley number 03-2287 1764. Need to call for appointment.
