About the Product
Product Description The [CLIO] Auto Hard KillBrow Pencil solves the biggest problem with traditional brow pencils: they are often too soft, leading to thick, waxy blocks of color. CLIO utilizes a sophisticated "Hard Formula" that feels firm to the touch but glides smoothly over the natural oils of your skin or foundation.
The pencil features a smartly designed Hexagonal (6-sided) Tip. This allows you to use the flat surface to fill in gaps quickly and the sharp edges to draw individual hair-like strokes. It is an all-in-one tool, housing the pencil, a spoolie brush for blending, and a hidden sharpener to keep the tip precise.
🗡️ The "Hard Formula" Advantage
Why would you want a "hard" pencil? It is all about control.
- Oil-Activated: This formula is designed to interact with the natural oils on your brow or your foundation. It deposits pigment smoothly without clumping, even if you go over the same spot multiple times.
- No "Crayon" Effect: Soft pencils can mat down brow hairs. This hard texture keeps your brow hairs fluffy and distinct while shading the skin underneath.
- Long-Lasting: Once set, the formula is resistant to sweat and smudging, living up to the "Kill" name (which in CLIO terms means "killer" performance).
🎨 Color Guide: Finding Your Match
Choosing the right shade is crucial for a natural look. Here is a breakdown of the 5 variants based on hair color.
| Color Code | Shade Name | Best Suited For... |
|---|---|---|
| #01 | Natural Brown | Natural brown or chocolate-colored hair. The standard "safe" choice. |
| #02 | Light Brown | Bleached, blonde, or very light brown hair. |
| #03 | Peanut Brown | Lighter hair with ash/muted undertones. Good for "milk tea" hair colors. |
| #04 | Reddish Brown | Auburn, copper, or wine-colored hair. |
| #05 | Gray Brown | Natural black or very dark hair. (Avoids the fake red tint of brown pencils). |
🛠️ Smart Architecture: 3-in-1 Design
You don't need to carry a separate sharpener or brush.
- The Pencil: The auto-retractable hexagonal lead.
- The Spoolie: Located on the opposite end. Essential for combing brows before drawing and blending them after for a soft finish.
- The Sharpener: Unscrew the bottom cap (below the spoolie). There is a tiny blade designed specifically to restore the sharp edges of the hexagonal tip.
How to Use
- Prep: For best results, apply after foundation or cushion (the pencil glides better on a base). If on bare skin, ensure the brow area isn't bone dry.
- Outline: Use the flat side of the pencil to trace the bottom line of your brow.
- Fill: Use the sharp edge to draw short, upward strokes that mimic hair in sparse areas.
- Blend: Use the spoolie brush to comb through the brows. This softens any harsh lines and distributes the pigment.
Recommendation
- Target: Beginners who struggle with heavy hands, or professionals who want a precise, architectural brow.
- Texture Preference: Those who dislike creamy, waxy pencils and prefer a powdery, matte finish.
