tarte Big Ego Sketch & Set brow pencil and tinted gel — Full Size Medium Cool Brown, 2‑in‑1 Waterproof Precision & Long‑Wear Hold

A dual-ended brow tool combining an ultra-slim micro-tip pencil with a tinted gel + microcomb to create defined, thicker-looking brows that resist water and smudging. This full-size tarte Big Ego Sketch & Set combines precision drawing and lightweight hold in one vegan, cruelty-free tool. The pencil end delivers an ultra-slim micro tip for hair-like strokes and precise filling, while the opposite end houses a tinted gel and microcomb that shapes, tints, and locks brows in place. Formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, SLS, or gluten, it also includes skin-conditioning babassu oil, long-wear Amazonian clay, and antioxidant vitamin E for a balanced blend of performance and care.

How does the micro-tip pencil give natural-looking brows?

The ultra-slim micro tip is designed to mimic the width of a brow hair, so individual strokes blend seamlessly with existing hairs. It’s ideal for recreating sparse areas and drawing defined arches without harsh lines.

• Micro-tip precision produces hair-like lines for realistic definition
• Fine pigmentation fills gaps without overpowering your natural brow
• Control-friendly twist design for consistent, even application

What does the tinted brow gel + microcomb do for shape and hold?

The tinted gel adds subtle color while the microcomb grooms hairs into place for a polished finish. Together they give lightweight hold that resists sweat and smudging for up to 12 hours without feeling stiff.

• Tinted formula enhances color and camouflages sparse patches
• Microcomb smooths and tames stray hairs for a neat arch
• Waterproof, smudgeproof, and sweatproof performance for all-day wear

Which skin-friendly ingredients are included and why do they matter?

tarte blends conditioning and wear-enhancing ingredients to protect hairs while extending color payoff. Babassu oil helps nourish and soften brow hairs, Amazonian clay stabilizes pigments for truer color and longer wear, and vitamin E acts as an emollient and antioxidant in the formula.

• Babassu oil conditions brows for smoother application
• Amazonian clay improves color fidelity and staying power
• Vitamin E supports formula stability and adds mild conditioning benefits

How long will the wear last and is it easy to remove?

The formula is made to last up to 12 hours and resist common daily stresses like moisture and oil. Because it’s a cosmetic gel and pencil system, removal is straightforward with your regular oil-based or dual-phase makeup remover—no harsh scrubbing required.

• Clinically tested for 12-hour wear under typical conditions
• Waterproof and sweatproof for lasting definition
• Removes with oil-based cleansers or micellar water designed for long-wear makeup

Who is this for: The tarte Big Ego Sketch & Set in Medium Cool Brown is suited for anyone seeking a single, travel-friendly brow tool that provides precise shaping and tinted hold—especially people with cool-toned brown brows, those who prefer vegan and cruelty-free cosmetics, and users who want a durable formula that performs through humid or active days. It’s also a good pick for minimalists who like two-in-one products, and for makeup fans who value conditioning ingredients alongside long wear. If you prefer very soft, smudgy brows rather than defined hair-like strokes, consider a softer pencil or a brow powder instead.
