My brows are not an area I'm confident in applying product. My brows never look the same as each other, and rarely do I manage the same look 2 days in a row. I'm not the Van Gogh of brows
This product actually is within my skill set, on a good day. I needed to buy a brow brush for this product - it didn't come with one - not even a match-stick size brush to start me off. That pain point aside, my newly purchased brow brush in hand I did kind of master drawing in a shape around my brow with the darker half of the powder, and filling in with the lighter shade for something that looked okay.
The product has staying powder. My work of art stayed in place most of a day.
Honestly, for me, brows are a burden in my makeup regime, and so I love products that make that aspect of makeup application quick, easy and subtle, and I felt there was too much room for artistic flare and failure with this product, for my skill level and brows.
Great product for those that love the art behind the perfect brow.
I've been using this continuously for the past year and a half and have never looked back.
The chocolate duo powder is a perfect match for my eyebrows, it comes with a medium brown and dark brown pressed powder. Teaming this with my Anastasia Beverly hills dip brow in Chocolate, my brows are unstoppable against sweat, water and my son rubbing his hands on my face when he tries to "tickle" my face.
After applying my ABH dipbrow, I use a flat small brush and sweep the medium brown powder through the first half of my brow, once i get to the middle I switch to the dark brown shade and pat the powder onto the second half off my brow before cleaning up any mistakes and sharpening the edges of my brows.
The powder is soft to the touch, almost a buttery feel. It sets my brows all day until I use a makeup wipe to remove them.
If Im going for the natural brow I skip the ABH dipbrow and using a small slanted brush I wet the tip and with small grass like strokes I like to create eyebrow hairs, I use both shades which give a great range of faux eyebrow hairs.
This product has been a 2017 favorite and has also been a 2018 favorite product. I cannot do my brows without finishing with this powder, it keeps them long lasting and stops my brows looking shiny in photos which is also a big plus.
I will continue to repurchase as long as Mellow cosmetics stocks this. It is gold!
