Lily Collins’ Eyebrows Were Prepped for Emily in Paris with an Eyebrow Pencil Trusted by Shoppers in Their 60s

Do you think Lily Collins’ dad, Phil, predicted this? Because, to paraphrase the singer, we’ve been waiting for this moment all our lives — or at least since Emily in Paris first broadcast.

We’ve finally figured out how her character Emily Cooper has such plucked brows: This $26 brow pencil from Benefit Cosmetics is the product that helped keep her brows camera-ready while filming Season 4, according to the brand.

Her brows were generally thicker — except for the time she thinned them out and looked “ridiculous” — but it seems even someone with brows as sculpted as the marble statues in the Louvre could use a flawless product that’s adored by customers of all ages.

The eyebrow pencil is designed with multiple uses: when you look at it from one direction, it looks flat and wide. This side is best for outlining the shape of your brows (or creating new ones) or anywhere else where fine hair-like strokes aren’t your top priority.

For them, the pointed tip can fill in all the fine points with pencil-like precision. It’s also good for defining the tails of the brows, according to the brand, which is one spot that’s easy to over-pluck.

Still confused? Imagine a real pencil. When you write something by hand, you angle it downward so that the sharpest point is in contact with the paper. But when you want to shade something, you’ll turn it sideways. It’s the same thought process when working on your brows.

Brow color is also just as important as shape, with 12 shades available. The pigment is waterproof, so if you go out in the rain or snow with shaggy brows, you can count on them to still be there after drying.

And unlike a Chicago-to-Paris transplant, it works well even for people who don’t have a ton of hair: One customer in his 60s said it “works great on my thinning eyebrows.” They also tried many pens, but this is now the “only” one they use.

“I have sparse eyebrows from over-tweezing in the 80s and 90s,” said another customer. “This product really helps fill in those sparse areas and looks pretty natural (and lasts all day).”
