Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil 708 Earth — Warm Brown, Creamy Long-Wear Precision

This slim 0.05 oz pencil delivers a rich earthy brown that works across complexions. Its smooth, blendable formulation glides on for sharp lines or soft smudged effects and is formulated to stay put throughout the day. Lightweight and travel-friendly, it’s an easy way to add natural warmth and definition whether you’re creating a subtle daytime look or a more polished evening finish.

How does this pencil perform on eyes, lips, and brows?

The Artist Color Pencil was created as a versatile tool so one product can handle multiple precision tasks. On the eyes it draws crisp liner or smoky shading; on lips it outlines and fills for a natural, muted tone; on brows it defines sparse areas without looking harsh. The creamy texture balances glide with control so detail work stays sharp yet blendable.

• Draws precise eyeliner and smudges easily for a smoky effect
• Lines and fills lips for subtle contour and color
• Defines brows with a natural, hair-like finish
• Buildable pigment lets you go from soft to intense

Is the shade 708 Earth suitable for my skin tone?

708 Earth is a warm, medium-deep brown created to flatter a wide range of skin tones. Its neutral-warm undertone warms up fair complexions and adds depth to medium and deeper skin without appearing orange or ashy. Because the formula is buildable, you can layer lightly for a hint of definition or intensify the color to match your desired contrast.

• Neutral-warm brown complements cool and warm undertones
• Layerable coverage adapts to light, medium, and deep skin tones
• Gives natural-looking definition rather than stark lines

How long does the color last and how does it wear?

The pencil is formulated for long wear with resistance to smudging during normal wear. It retains color intensity while remaining comfortable on skin and lips. For extra longevity, set a lip or brow application with a matching powder or clear sealant, or gently smudge the line and press to set for a softer, longer-lasting finish.

• Smudge-resistant formulation for extended wear
• Comfortable, non-drying texture that stays flexible
• Pairs well with powders or sealants to boost staying power

How do I apply and maintain the pencil for best results?

Use light pressure for fine lines and increase pressure or layer for denser coverage. For brows, mimic hair strokes with short, upward motions. Keep the tip sharp for precise application and cap the pencil after use to prevent drying. If needed, gently warm the lead by stroking it on the back of your hand before applying for an even smoother glide.

• Sharpen carefully for precise lines—use a cosmetic pencil sharpener
• Layer gradually to achieve intensity without patchiness
• Blend with a smudger brush or fingertip for softer edges
