Pictures show the product with and without the caps. This eyebrow pencil has a brush side and the pencil side - this one is angled in a triangle and makes it easy to either use the broad side, or the finer point, when drawing in your eyebrows. The pigmentation is quite soft and builds nicely so it is quite easy to control. Again, having a brush attached to it is immensely helpful in helping to shape and blend out your eyebrows. I've recently changed hair color and it is now not dark enough for me, however I will definitely be purchasing another in a darker shade as it is so simple to use!
