I started using the Prestige Brow Shaper Pen many years ago because it was more reasonably priced than Laura Geller's Original Brow Marker. The Prestige Pen has the same type of brush tip that I love and is the only thing that makes my skimpy brows come alive, look full, and almost like real hair. Over the years I have tried many different types of brow items, but the Prestige Pen is the only one that gives my brows a more authentic look, lasts all, and it never fades or smears, even after sweaty work out classes!
