Jane Iredale PureBrow Shaping Pencil Auburn 0,23g

Reddish-brown shaping eyebrow pencil for red and strawberry blonde hair

Red hair is a minority within the hair color palette — and the eyebrow makeup industry treats it accordingly. While brown and blonde shades are offered in five variations, red-haired women often have to settle for one auburn option or even improvise with a brown pencil. When that improvisation fails, it is especially noticeable with a shaping pencil: the broader side spreads the wrong color over a larger area, making the contrast between the brown pencil and red hair more visible rather than subtler.

The Jane Iredale PureBrow Shaping Pencil in Auburn is designed to avoid exactly that pitfall. The copper-brown color contains the red undertone that lets the eyebrow blend into the natural hair color, while the drop-shaped tip builds shape, contour, and volume in one stroke. For women with red hair who until now could only use fine pencils, this is both a color and a technique solution.

Color: A warm copper-brown shade with a reddish undertone, ideal for red, auburn, and strawberry blonde hair.

Benefits

• Only shaping pencil in the range with a pronounced red undertone
• Drop-shaped tip builds eyebrow shape without separate products
• Copper color stays true all day thanks to mineral iron oxide pigments
• Water-resistant formula does not fade to dull brown during the day
• Enriched with vitamin E to protect often fine red eyebrow hairs

Active ingredients

Red iron oxide (CI 77491): The pigment that gives this auburn shade its distinctive warm color. On a larger application area — such as the broader side of the drop-shaped tip — the stability of this mineral pigment is crucial. Unlike synthetic red dyes, it does not oxidize or discolor throughout the day.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Red hair is naturally often finer and more prone to breakage than other hair types. This antioxidant provides protection to the eyebrow hairs that have to handle more product due to daily use of a shaping pencil.

Boron Nitride: Provides the formula’s smooth glide properties, making the broader side of the tip feel pleasant when filling in. Also prevents the warm color from being unevenly distributed over the eyebrow area.

How to use it

1. Decide which intensity you want — for red hair you usually choose a subtler match than for brown
2. Twist out a small piece of the drop tip and test on the back of your hand for the right shade
3. Use the finer side to draw the eyebrow contour on the top and bottom edges
4. Fill in the middle part with the broader side in the direction of hair growth with light pressure
5. Blend all transitions with the spoolie so the warm color weaves into the red of your hair

Suitable for

• Natural red hair in all intensities
• Dyed auburn or copper blonde hair
• Strawberry blonde hair with a clear red glow
• Chestnut brown hair with warm copper undertones
• Eyebrows that need not only color but also shape

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a shaping pencil in Auburn — aren’t thin red eyebrows actually a reason for precision?

Red hair is often fine, but the resulting eyebrows are also often sparser and less defined. Especially with that sparseness, a shaping pencil offers a solution: the broader side builds even color where precision would result in a fragmented look. The finer side remains available for detail work.

Does Auburn also work on my eyebrows if I use henna in my hair?

Yes, henna-colored hair has a similar warm red undertone that this shade is matched to. Auburn consistently gives a more natural result than any standard brown shade from a regular range.

I have strawberry blonde hair without a clear red glow — is Auburn the right choice for me?

With strawberry blonde without a clear red glow, Neutral Blonde or Ash Blonde often leans closer to the actual hair color. For the warmer strawberry blonde variants with a visible red tint, Auburn is the perfect match.
