I ordered the HELLO KISS brow pen in light brown since it does not come in taupe. [$3.99 $4.99 shipping - not available in store] Unfortunately it is far too light for me. 'IF' I order it again, I will try the brown. That said, the light brown would likely be perfect for blonds and platinum ladies. The brushes stroke smooth and perfect 'hair lines' - and I would like to try this in the correct color.. NOW, compared to; Revlon COLORSTAY semi-permanent brow ink [9.97 in store and online]; brushes on the Hello Kiss brow pen are far superior, as is the appearance which is more natural than the Colorstay, which appears 'shiny'. However Hello Kiss lasts only one day, whereas Colorstay lasts a full two days. AND compared to WET %26 WILD, [$4.99 in store and online] this one fairs similar to Hello Kiss and is available in store.
