I was asked to do a review of a brow kit by Anastasia of Beverly Hills, and since I have never tried anything other than a drugstore pencil I was naturally curious to try one.
It comes with stencils that you are supposed to use, they are hard to get used to holding but they do provide a nice shape. I used the smallest one possible, and I wish there were more options on the same scale. Comes with a brush and wax as well, and I like using both of those. The only strage part is holding up the templates, I've been testing it for about a week and a half before writing this review and I am starting to get better at using them. Overall with the kit I still like to use a brush and pencil to finish off the arch, I know this company sells those but they do not come with the kit. It's a nice product to use when I feel like spending a little more time getting ready, but again I think with time it's gonna end up being a quick process. The one thing I noticed a big improvement on is the tail of the eyebrow looks much nicer with the kit template than drawing one on. Comes with eyeshadow that I like a lot, and tends to last all day, that's about all you need out of makeup. I don't think there is much of a market for my demographic (low income college student) but judging from the two times I've ever been around department store makeup that this doesn't seem very expensive in comparison, and is nice to have a kit instead of lots of separate pieces. It was fun to try a product like this. My favorite part of the whole thing? The case closes with a little magnet and so it would be super easy to travel with. Meaning this could probably go in your purse and would tide you over if you didn't want to pack a sack of makeup. The dark brown could totally work as liner, and you'd have a simple natural looking face. I better take a trip and test it out.
i got this to review as well! i agree- the stencils are weird. i just used them once to help shape the brows and now i just use the wax and the color ! sometimes just using a pencil is easier!

Your eyebrows look great! I think it's important to have clean brows when you have such cute short hair like yours. I love it.

Just found your blog and it's gorgeous :) I've always wanted to try using brow pencils, but have always worried about it looking too intense. Thanks for the review, quite helpful!
ReplyDeleteInteresting.I've never thought of using a brow kit, probably because I had to start taming my beastly brows at a young age, and couldn't imagine wanting to draw on more! But, it does seem like and interesting idea if you want to change up the shape. I don't know if I'd have the patience though, honestly!
