Eyebrow
The ultra-slim 1.5 mm tip became the Korean standard because the regional brow look is built from individual soft hair strokes rather than filled blocks. Core hardness is the one specification worth obsessing over.

What makes it work
- Korean brow trends favour soft natural strokes, which is why the ultra-slim 1.5 mm tip became the regional standard.
- Core hardness is the specification that matters most, deciding whether the pencil draws hairs or fills blocks.
- Shade ranges are small, with 3 to 4 covering most of the market including grey and ash tones.
- Shade development runs in-house at Korean color factories. Colour products are quoted per shade, so shade count drives total production volume more than in skincare.
Texture & format
Retractable pencils from 1.5 mm ultra-fine to standard, plus setting wax, usually with a spoolie end.
Frequently asked
What tip size should a brow pencil use?
Slim tips around 1.5 mm are the Korean standard, since they draw individual hair strokes for a soft natural brow. Thicker tips fill faster but produce a heavier result.
How many shades are needed?
Three to four typically covers the market. Grey and ash tones matter for dark-haired consumers, and browns cover the rest.
