When our skin begins to show signs of ageing, it is inevitable that our makeup routine needs a refresh to include products that will not settle into fine lines or wrinkles. Laura Geller is a makeup brand beloved by—and made for—more mature shoppers, thanks to its formulas that blend beautifully. One brow pencil, in particular, is being praised by beauty fans for providing great coverage and being perfect for mature brows.
The Laura Geller New York Sculpt-n-Stay Waterproof Brow Pencil & Gel
The Laura Geller New York Sculpt-n-Stay Waterproof Brow Pencil & Gel is a 2-in-1 waterproof makeup staple. It is handily dual-ended to help users achieve precise, clean, and smooth brows that look natural—without needing to buy two separate products. Costing £21, this pencil is fitted with a precision pencil and a clear brow gel that work together 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.
How It Works
The gel is said to help thicken the brows and groom them into the perfect shape that lasts. While it is crafted to help users create gorgeous arched brows, the gel also works by nourishing the hairs. Coming in four different shades on Amazon—taupe, blonde, soft black, and dark maroon—shoppers say the taupe shade is a great option for those who are going grey.
Customer Reviews from Mature Shoppers
Although the Laura Geller eyebrow pencil has been hailed by mature shoppers as the best eyebrow pencil they have had yet, one complimented its waxy texture, which looks more realistic than inky types resembling tattoos. Someone else in their 60s said: "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 added: "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."
Someone else echoed the praise: "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!"
Minor Application Issue
While the overall result of the brow product has been a hit, some people had trouble with the application, stating that the crayon keeps slipping back unless held tight. So keep that in mind.
Alternatives for Grey Brows
For those who prefer a definitively grey tone, Jones Road's The Brow Pencil, £24, comes in a grey shade that is a perfect match for those with salt and pepper hair. One user said: "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 option is the Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil 1.5mm Tip Ultra-Fine Brow Defining Pencil, £27 at Boots, which comes in a range of colours including grey and features a micro tip for precision.
Overall Rating
Most beauty fans have been thoroughly impressed, as shown by its 4.2-star rating. One user shared a glowing review: "I have bought Smashbox brow tech for years and it 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."
