Women in their 60s love eye pencil that’s ‘perfect for mature brows’

As our skin begins to reveal the telltale signs of ageing, it becomes essential to refresh our makeup routine with products that won’t settle into fine lines or wrinkles. Laura Geller is a makeup brand cherished by – and specifically ‘made for’ – more mature shoppers, thanks to its beautifully blending formulas.

One brow pencil in particular is getting widespread praise from beauty enthusiasts for delivering ‘great coverage’ and being ‘perfect for my mature brows’. The Laura Geller New York Sculpt-n-Stay Waterproof Brow Pencil and Gel is a versatile 2-in-1 waterproof essential.

Cleverly dual-ended, it enables users to achieve precise, clean and polished brows that appear entirely natural – all without the need to purchase two separate products. Priced at £21, the Laura Geller New York Sculpt-n-Stay Waterproof Brow Pencil and Gel features a precision pencil alongside a clear brow gel that work in tandem to fill in any sparse areas with controlled, natural-looking strokes.

The formula is also waterproof and reportedly ‘stays put all day long without smudging’. The gel is further said to help thicken and groom brows into a flattering shape that ‘lasts’.

While designed to help users craft beautifully arched brows, the gel simultaneously nourishes the hairs, reports the Manchester Evening News. Available in four shades on Amazon – taupe, blonde, soft black and dark maroon – shoppers have noted that the taupe shade is a particularly excellent choice for those whose hair is turning grey.

While this shade leans towards a more natural, stoney brown, those seeking something distinctly grey may wish to consider Jones Road’s The Brow Pencil, £24, which is available in a grey tone described as a ‘perfect match’ for those with ‘salt and pepper hair’.

One satisfied customer remarked: “It’s hard to find a brow pencil for my salt and pepper hair but this one is it! The grey is a perfect match.”

Another worthy contender is the Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil 1.5mm Tip Ultra-Fine Brow Defining Pencil, £27 at Boots, available in an array of shades including grey. Featuring a micro tip, it enables precise application when defining the brows.

Laura Geller’s eyebrow pencil has also earnt considerable praise from more mature shoppers, hailed as the ‘best eyebrow pencil I have had yet (and I’ve had a fair few!)’, with one reviewer applauding its ‘waxy’ texture, noting it ‘looks more realistic than the inky types resembling tattoos’.

A shopper in their sixties enthused: “I am 60+. This product is perfect for my mature brows. It goes on easy, smooth and precise and it is waterproof. I love this product.”

Another concurred: “Love Laura Geller’s products. I’m a mature individual and this makeup is great for my face. It doesn’t feel heavy. There’s great coverage. The eyebrow pencil stays on and it’s not too dark.”

A further reviewer echoed the sentiment: “I’m a mature woman… have used all sorts of products … this is the finest eyebrow pencil I’ve ever used… narrow for defining, and a broad for filling in…and for me the taupe color is perfect!”

While the overall results of the brow product have proved popular, some users experienced difficulties with the application, noting that the ‘crayon keeps slipping back’ unless held ‘tight’. It’s certainly worth bearing that in mind.

Nevertheless, the majority of beauty enthusiasts have been thoroughly won over – as reflected in its impressive 4.2-star rating – with one shopper leaving a glowing review stating: “I have bought Smashbox brow tech for years and is no longer available so I ordered this to try. Quite honestly I like it better than Smashbox.

“The colour taupe looks very similar but when applied it looks a more natural brown and I prefer it with my light skin and grey hair. I find it applies well and it stays on better. Needless to say I’m very happy with this purchase and will definitely be using this going forward.”
