This product last SO long - for one on the face, but also in terms of how long before it runs out. I got given one in probably 2013 (sorry I'm gross, but there's still so much in it )and it is still going strong, even though I've hit pan in the middle. (sorry I'm gross). The product texture is still the same and it hasn't spoiled. It's very buildable, and I would say start with a small amount and you can always add more if you want more pigment.
There's a good variety of shades, and there are usually staff around the counters that are able to find one for you and give you a demo. I don't use it regularly as an eyeliner, but I will do so in a pinch or if I'm travelling.
I like the smart gold packaging and it comes with a mirror and brushes. However, like most compact tiny brushes they're not the best but they do work.
I've recommended it to several friends.
I had no idea you could get powder for eye brows as I have been using a pencil till now
I bought this when farmers had a huge 20% off (which they never do)
I will never go back to pencil. this is so easy to use and you have more choose. if you wet brush you get a thicker sharper line or if not you get a nice natural look which I prefer for day to day use
Tips: use powder over pencil
