tarte Big Ego Sketch & Set brow pencil & tinted gel — Golden Blonde, micro-tip precision and waterproof 12hr hold

tarte Big Ego Sketch & Set is a dual-ended, vegan eyebrow tool combining a micro-tip pencil and a tinted gel to shape, fill and hold brows with up to 12 hours of waterproof wear.

This compact, two-in-one brow solution pairs a precision micro-tip pencil with a tinted gel and microcomb to build natural-looking arches, add density and lock hairs into place. Formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate or gluten, the formula also includes skin-conditioning babassu oil, Amazonian clay for staying power and vitamin E for antioxidant support. The full-size golden blonde shade blends well for fair to light-medium warm-toned hair, offering clean definition without heavy buildup.

How does the micro-tip pencil create precise, natural-looking hair strokes?

The ultra-slim pencil end is designed to draw crisp, hair-like lines that mimic natural brow hairs. Its fine point lets you target sparse spots, define the arch and create soft beginnings at the inner brow without overfilling.

• micro tip for hair-like strokes and tapered shaping
• firm-but-creamy texture that won’t crumble or drag
• ideal for detailing the tail and filling gaps
• built for controlled application even at small angles

What does the tinted gel plus microcomb do for hold and color?

The tinted gel end tints, sculpts and secures brow hairs while the microcomb distributes product evenly for a polished finish. It adds visible density and keeps hairs in place through daily sweat and humidity without feeling stiff or sticky.

• tinted formula enhances color and gives a fuller look
• microcomb smooths and separates hairs for a natural finish
• formulation resists smudging, sweat and water for long wear
• buildable hold for light grooming or stronger sculpting

Will the formula suit sensitive skin and clean-beauty routines?

tarte’s Big Ego Sketch & Set avoids common irritants and follows a cruelty-free, vegan approach, making it suitable for many clean-beauty fans. The addition of babassu helps condition brow hair while Amazonian clay promotes better pigment adherence and longer wear.

• free from parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan and SLS
• vegan and cruelty-free formulation
• contains conditioning and antioxidant ingredients like babassu and vitamin E
• non-greasy gel that minimizes flaking and residue

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

The combination is formulated for up to 12 hours of waterproof, smudge-proof wear suitable for busy days or active environments. Removal is straightforward with your regular makeup remover or an oil-based cleanser, which dissolves waterproof pigments without excessive rubbing.

• claimed 12-hour wear under normal conditions
• waterproof and sweatproof performance for daily activity
• removes cleanly with oil-based or micellar makeup removers
• avoids heavy waxy residue for easy end-of-day cleansing

Who is this for: tarte Big Ego Sketch & Set in Golden Blonde is geared toward anyone who wants a fuss-free, travel-friendly brow tool that shapes, densifies and secures brows in one product. It suits users with fair to light-medium warm hair tones who prefer a defined but natural brow, and appeals to shoppers seeking vegan, cruelty-free cosmetics with conditioning ingredients and long-lasting performance.
