Grandma needs eyebrows...
Date:March 31, 2012
I have pure white hair and have had a hard time finding the right color for my eyebrows. There are a lot of empty spaces from plucking. The liquid brush is a nice applicator. The light blond color suits me better than the gray shades.
Only one complaint...The color has a touch of red in it which doesn't go with my complexion.

Touch Back

I purchased this product because my eyebrows are very grey and I need some color on my face...I purchased the blonde shade and it doesn't cover the grey AT ALL! Can't even tell I have anything on...

Somewhat disappointing
Date:November 6, 2011
Browmarker not as long lasting as I had hoped. Skin has to be free of foundation or marker will not go on.It took several attempts before I realized what the problem was. Not sure if I would purchase it again.

Way too light!
Date:September 28, 2011
This may be effective in another shade but the blonde doesn't show up on my brows and was barely decernable on my hand when I checked to see if it was even working. I have platinum hair and graying eyebrows and have used many products in "blonde" before but this one is a total waste.

Perfect every time
Date:August 29, 2011
Brows are a challenge, since having RadiationTherapy. the little hairs are few and far between. I usually have them tattooed, as in permanent make-up. However this too must be retouched. Touchback browmaker is just perfect for those times. Works great for a liner also. To make them even more believable I start with a few hair like strokes with the med. brown, then apply over the top with the blonde. By using the two colors it gives a more natural look...

High Expectations - Low Reality
Date:August 2, 2011
The problem with this brow marker is the "reluctant flow" of color when attempting to fill in sparse brow hair area. It's necssary to press more than "firmly" to achieve wanted results and it's very frustrating. Frankly, this is the third implement I've ordered from various makeup houses and I truly wish I could say, "Yes, it's marvelous....just what I hoped for!" But it's not.

Disappointed
Date:June 30, 2011
Was disappointed with the ease of using. I have very, very thin eyebrows and have found that powder and a small brush work better.

SCORE!
Date:June 22, 2011
I have been looking for a browmarker that went on with ease and didn't make my eyebrows look "painted on". The Touchback Browmarker goes on with little or no effort and my brows look fabulous~

Great Purchase
Date:June 16, 2011
I have very thin, fine eyebrows and a small scar where no hair has grown in many years.
This product filled in my eyebrows even the scared area! My husband completed me on how great my make up looked.
The only change was using the Touchback BrowMarker. I love this product and highly recommend it.
I am a brunette but found the blond browmarker to be a perfect color match.

get the darker one
Date:June 12, 2011
I too first ordered the blonde and it was invisible on me. However, I loved the thicker and stiffer brush than other brands so I tried again with the medium brown and the color is working for me. I have very pale skin with pinky undertones and other brands in the brown have gone on too red. This medium brown has no red in it at all. And the brush is much faster and easier to apply than other brands.

Too light
Date:June 2, 2011
I have used a powder in the past and ordered a color that was close to what I had been using (blonde). I am very light-complected, and the blonde shade barely showed against my skin. I ended up ordering the medium brown shade. I will use the blond with what remains of my powder to help it adhere, but wouldn't re-order that shade. Otherwise, it is very easy to use and is easier than the powder to get the desired shape.

Touchback Browmarker
Date:May 16, 2011
I was very disappointed in this product. It seemed a bit spendy but I thought it would be worth it, if it worked. It was so pale that is did not even show up. I purchased blonde. Maybe I just got the wrong shade. I would not recommend this.

Returned it.
Date:May 13, 2011
I ordered the blonde one. It was invisible, I couldn't see anything except a lttle shine. I returned it. I would have exchanged it to try a little darker, but, I was afraid it would then be too dark, so I didn't.

DISAPOINTED
Date:May 12, 2011
I PRESENTILY USE A POWDER ON MY BROWS, IT LOOKS GOOD , BUT IT DOES TAKE PRACTICE AND SKILL TO USE IT. I WAS HOPING THIS WOULD BE SIMPILER, HOWEVER , EVEN THO I AM A BLONDE , IT IS TOO LIGHT AND DOESN'T SHOW UP ON ME, ALSO I DIDN'T WANT TO RETURN IT BECAUSE I THINK THE NEXT COLOR WILL STILL NOT BE RIGHT AND NOT LOOK AS NATURAL AS THE POWDER . I ALSO DIDN'T RETURN IT BECAUSE OF THE COST AND TIME INVOLVED , TOO MUCH TIME , TOO LITTLE REWARD. I HAVE BEEN TRAINED BY AN ESTHETICIAN AND HAVE DONE MAKEUP PROFESSIONALLY , AS WELL AS PEOPLE'S PERSONAL COLOR PALETTES, SO I FEEL CONFIDENT THIS PRODUCT WILL NOT SATISFY ME.

LOVE THIS!!! CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!!
Date:May 11, 2011
I am in love with this product! I have very fine, invisible eyebrows, was thinking of getting permanent makeup done on them untiil I found this.
I do use it in combination with a very slight eyebrown pencilling done first, to get the arch correct, then go over that with TouchBack BrowMarker. It lasts all day, and even all night if I want it to, and in the morning--voila!-- I have eyebrows!! You do need to let it dry, but that takes only a few moments. Fabulous makeup tool, and I'm ordering more! Thank you, Soft Surroundings!

Good Until...
Date:April 27, 2011
I was very excited about this product because I do not have any brows at all...due to a disasterous "permanent make-up" experience many years ago. I was thrilled with the results for three days until the top of the tube fell off in my make-up bag overnight and the product hasn't been the same since. I'm sure it has potential, but it's an expensive lesson if things go wrong.
