Product Information
Full details
The Arches and Halos Microblading Brow Pen in Charcoal is designed for individuals seeking to achieve fuller, more defined eyebrows with a natural, hair-like appearance. Its key benefit is the unique 4-prong tip that mimics real hairs, offering a precise and easy way to fill sparse areas. A potential caveat is that, like many liquid-based cosmetics, it may require a clean, dry surface for optimal adhesion and longevity.

FAQs
What shade is this brow pen?
This product is the 'Charcoal' shade, designed for darker hair colors or for those who prefer a more intense brow definition.
How do I achieve a natural look?
Apply the pen by drawing short, light strokes in the direction of your natural hair growth. Focus on filling in sparse areas rather than drawing a solid line. Blend with a spoolie brush if needed.
Is this product waterproof?
The product is described as smudge-resistant and water-based, meaning it can withstand light moisture but may not be fully waterproof. It is best removed with a makeup remover.
Can I use this on oily skin?
While the formula is smudge-resistant, very oily skin types might experience reduced longevity. Ensure brows are clean and dry, and consider using a setting spray designed for makeup longevity.
How long does the product typically last once opened?
Like most liquid cosmetics, it is recommended to use within 6-12 months of opening for optimal performance and hygiene. Always store with the cap tightly sealed.
What is the key difference from a regular eyebrow pencil?
The key difference is the 4-prong tip, which allows for the creation of individual, hair-like strokes that mimic natural eyebrow hairs, offering a more realistic and microbladed effect compared to the sometimes blocky application of a traditional pencil.
Troubleshooting
Pen is not drawing or is skipping.
Ensure the pen cap is securely closed when not in use. Shake the pen gently before application. If the tip appears dry, try gently wiping it with a slightly damp tissue (ensure it is not wet).
The color appears too dark or too light.
Apply light, feathery strokes initially and build up the intensity gradually. For a lighter look, use less pressure or fewer strokes. For a darker look, layer more strokes.
Smudging occurs shortly after application.
Make sure your eyebrows are completely clean and dry before application. Allow the product to dry fully for a minute after application before touching or applying other products over it.
Product is not long-lasting.
Ensure your skin is free of oils and lotions before application. Avoid touching or rubbing your eyebrows throughout the day. For very oily skin types, a setting spray specifically for brows may help increase longevity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure eyebrows are clean, dry, and free of any oily products like moisturizers or serums.

- Uncap the pen and begin drawing short, light strokes in the direction of your natural eyebrow hair growth.

Compatibility:
- This brow pen is designed for use on skin and is compatible with most makeup routines.
- For best results, avoid applying over heavy foundations or primers that might interfere with adhesion.
Care:
- Storage: Store the pen tip-down in a cool, dry place, with the cap securely fastened, to prevent drying out.
- Cleaning: To remove, use a standard oil-based or micellar water makeup remover. Gently wipe away the product until fully removed.
- Tip Maintenance: If the tip becomes clogged with makeup residue, gently wipe it with a damp (not wet) tissue. Avoid using water directly on the tip as it may affect performance.
