Let me introduce you to my new favourite vegan beauty product. We all know how much I love the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz but The Brow Cheat from Charlotte Tilbury is NEXT LEVEL! Check it out…
Price:
$32 (CAD) Size 0.003 oz/ 0.1 g
Usage:
Having been a fan of the ABH Brow Wiz for many years, I was very excited to see that CT did her own version but with an inventive twist! Literally, the empty product twists off & instead of having to replace the entire pencil, you simply replace the small component which contains said product.
That’s a big win for me because it means less garbage in the landfill!
I originally purchased this brow pencil in April of 2021. I usually do my brows around 5 times a week & have only had to replace my shade once since then. So depending on how full you like your brows & how often you use this, you’ll probably only have to replace it twice a year max.
My Brow Concerns:
- Little patchy here & there
- Lack of proper definition in some areas
- Overall lack of “groomed” appearance when un-done
Vegan Beauty Claims:
“Micro precision REFILLABLE eyebrow pencil with an angled tip to perfect and recreate the illusion of defined, natural brow hairs.”
“Unlock the secret to FULLER-LOOKING, SUPERMODEL BROWS with this precise, FOOL-PROOF, easy-to-use, REFILLABLE brow pencil, available in 8 flattering shades for every hair colour!”
- Over 93% AGREE Brow Cheat™ MIMICS NATURAL brow hairs and adds SHAPE & DEFINITION to the brows*
- Over 93% AGREE Brow Cheat™ creates FEATHERLIGHT strokes and gives a NATURAL LOOKING but ENHANCED colour!*
- Brow Cheat™ has a magical SMUDGE-PROOF, HUMIDITY-PROOF & SWEAT-RESISTANT formula with 16-HOUR WEAR!**
- WATERPROOF!***
- Rich in Emollients – allowing for smooth application, enabling easy creation of definition and shape
- Carnauba Wax – acting as an emollient, allowing slip and a smooth application.
- Vitamin E – to condition Pure Pigments – a high concentration of pigments to create natural-looking colour with depth
- *Tested on 105 people
- **Tested on 30 people
- ***after 5 minutes
Vegan Beauty Results:
So, I’m not going to lie, I was afraid that this pencil wouldn’t be as GOOD as the Anastasia Brow Wiz because the pencil on the Charlotte Brow Cheat is slightly larger. But I have to tell you all, I was pleasantly surprised!
While the pencil may be larger, it is angled in such a way that the wisps of both brow pencils mimic those of natural brow hair strokes. Of course you can use them in a more filling way but I do like to leave some areas uncovered for a very natural looking brow.
For me, this brow pencil is the closest thing to a no makeup makeup brow. The next best option would be a light powder fill.
Final Thoughts:
This vegan beauty product is now a staple in not only my personal makeup bag but I have also purchased every single shade for my professional makeup kit.
Not only does the vegan brow pencil perform just as well as my other brow favourites but it is also a more sustainable beauty purchase. And you really cannot go wrong with that!
Will I Re-Purchase?
I have & I will continue to stock my kit & use this on myself.

Unlike many other beauty brands, Charlotte Tilbury is not owned by a parent company that isn’t cruelty free. Meaning, CT is a completely cruelty free company. None of their products are ever tested on animals in any level of their production & distribution.
Nearly all of Charlotte Tilbury products are also completely vegan, including many of their best sellers.
CT’s website also has a vegan section which makes sourcing their vegan products that much easier.

The Charlotte Tilburys Brow Cheat sounds great. We will share with Lisa’s daughter as she loves to try new things.
Love that! Hope she enjoys it too <3
Charlotte Tilbury’s brow cheat sounds like an awesome vegan product. Love that they are a cruelty-free company.
Me too! The more cruelty free companies the better
I think it’s wonderful for companies to be cruelty free. I don’t wear much makeup but I will keep this vegan company in mind when buying new stuff.
I know what you mean, I don’t wear a ton myself, just a light base, mascara, & brows. Also, Charlotte Tilbury isn’t completely vegan but almost all of their products are & they’re coming out with more and more vegan ones all of the time
wow i’ll have to try this brand! thanks for sharing
I love it. Thanks.
This looks like a great eyebrow pencil! I need to give it a try. Your brows and Montano’s are lovely!
Aw thank you so much! <3
I love CT products and the brow cheat. I love the fact that the company is not doing any animal testing that is what attracted me to them in the first place. I stayed because I do love their color and they have the best lip gloss that does not run, at least on me they do not.
Their lip products are amazing! So universally flattering. Another product all of my actors always love!!!
I am new to makup and did not know that there are Brow Cheats. I love that there are so many tools to help with makeup.
Totally! These pencils definitely make a natural brow easier to achieve for sure!
Great review. I’ll look for this brow pencil! I need one.
I love trying new brow products out! This one looks awesome!
Charlotte Tilbury’s brow cheat and vegan beauty products look wonderful. Loving that you can reuse a portion of the packaging too when you need to buy more product.
Right?! Way less waste & we get to save some money that way too, woohoo!
Sounds like Charlotte Tilburys Brow Cheat was a great find! I love that it’s refillable. The less waste the better!
Such a great find!
