omg maybelline define a brow in either dark brown or soft black. the define a brows are the exact same thing as the mac automatic brow pencils, nice and fine for sharp precise lines and i just love them so much.
If you try the Maybelline, I'd go with Soft Black. I have Dark Brown and it's really red based, and it clashes with my dark brown hair. hth! I really want to try Almays pencil now!
