If you’ve been anywhere near the beauty side of the internet lately, you’ll know that minimalism is having a moment. It’s all about clean textures, multitasking tools, chic-but-easy everything. The byfrow Pigment Pencils, by influencer Victoria McGrath, lean perfectly into this vibe and I have them here to show you with photos and swatches. Enjoy!
byfrow Pigment Pencils Shades & Swatches
There are seven shades in the byfrow Pigment Pencil lineup, all carefully curated and beautifully wearable. Here’s a quick overview before we get into the swatches:
- Chai Latte – peach nude
- Toasted Rose – natural mauve
- Pink Sorbet – light pink
- Baked Cinnamon – rich burnt orange

Comparisons
If you’re familiar with other multi-use or sculpting pencils, here’s where the byfrow Pigment Pencils sit:
- Creamier and more blendable than traditional wooden lip liners
- Not as slippy as chubby crayons
- A hybrid between a precision liner and a creamy colour stick
Final Verdict
The byfrow Pigment Pencils are super versatile, flattering, and easy-to-use. The shades are wearable without being boring, the formula is creamy without being messy, and the multi-use element makes them perfect for a streamlined makeup bag.
My top picks?
Chai Latte, Toasted Rose, and Dark Roast, but honestly, they’re all really lovely.
If you’re looking for a sculpting pencil that feels modern, minimal, and elevated… these deserve a very high spot on your wishlist.
