Product rave- Isadora 16hrs Active Moist Make-up SPF 30

I have to write about this foundation because i think it is an AMAZING, AMAZING product. I came across the only review this foundation has on Makeupalley because i was looking for opinions since this little wonderful thing is on sale at Kicks. I'm surprised there is only one review of this (or there was, last time i checked) because i think this foundation has serious Dior dupe potential. I went on and bought it after trying it on my wrist (sometimes it's even useless to test foundations inside the store...i already have makeup on, the lighting is bad, etc), seeing the price, the ingredients and especially the SPF of 30.



Packaging: I love the long flesh-colored tube and i especially love the pump. It's very similar to Chanel Mat Lumiere's and it allows for perfect control of the quantity. Half a pump is enough for half my face, a little extra being required to cover up spots or undereye circles. I don't need concealer with this foundation, which only happens when i use Estee Lauder's Double Wear. Of course that this foundation, being a drugstore product, does not compare too much with ELDW, but there are some similarities. It has 30 ml.

Price: not dirt cheap, i paid the equivalent of 12 euros. While being a little pricey for a drugstore foundation (as all European drugstore products are), it is definitely worth all the money.

Color: the shade range is quite limited as this foundation comes in only six shades. However, the striking thing about this foundation is that it appears to perfectly suit both cold undertoned complexions as well as warm skintones. I am a MacNW30-35 and i am currently using shade 33 Honey Beige. While on my extremely pale wrist it came out a little darker, it blends beautifully on my face and i don't even see the face-neck border line. As i mentioned, i think the colors go towards beige-peachy undertones, not orange at all, yet they are perfectly suitable for warm skintones as well. Definitely a winner.

Application: the tube reads 'shake well before use'; i applied it with my fingers with no messiness whatsoever. It feels very creamy on the fingers yet has a runny consistency, pretty much like the Dior Diorskin Forever; i think it's just a little thicker than that. It doesn't streak, doesn't cake around pores or fine lines, it looks very well around my hairline (NOTHING works for me in that area, i always have to blend the foundation with a wet sponge and get my baby hairs messed up).

Coverage: it definitely qualifies as three-quarters medium coverage (the other quarter being sheer). It covered my dark circles although i always need concealer and it also covered my spots. However, it did not completely erase any track of blemish off my face, so i dare say it's definitely not full coverage. What i mostly like about it is that it lives up to its name. While not being able to physically measure the degree of moisture in my skin (who can do that??? why did i say that? it's stoopid!), i can honestly say this stuff doesn't feel like makeup at all. It has a very light consistency and a healthy matte finish. However, this only comes if you shake the tube very well before use otherwise it can feel a little drying (the ingredients must blend properly). I was looking for a natural, light finish makeup with decent coverage and low pocket-burning properties because i desperately need something to mix my Estee Lauder Double Wear with (that stuff is amazing but feels like cement), and also needed an everyday workable foundation for school days or moments when i'm on the run.
This is my left cheek with no makeup on:



With one layer of Isadora foundation (half a pump):



The pic might appear a little bit blurry because i tried to fix the image on the macro mode, to get a very clear close-up, but i still can't figure things out with my new camera. However,i absolutely did not blur the image; this is what it looks like in plain Swedish morning light (cold light), no flash, in front of the window.

I have also uploaded two pics of my left wrist before and after. Pictures taken in daylight, in front of the window, no flash. Before:



and after:



(Sorry about the cracks in my skin, this is a close-up and my face definitely doesn't look like that with this foundation on. The image is much clear because it's easier to hold a camera at the perfect distance from the wrist than from half of the face.)

Stay on power: three out of five. It looks beautiful and doesn't transfer on clothes but comes off if you rub your fingers on the skin. I'm guessing it might also be the case with other activities such as kissing; i have tested it while clubbing and again, the verdict is 3 out of 5. While looking beautifully when i left the house and staying on 100% for about 3 hours, it started looking a bit too transparent after a while. However, it is highly blendable and you can retouch your makeup with your fingertips. I don't feel like needing powder with this foundation (though i don't use powder with any other product because i think it dries out my skin and makes me look older).

This is a clearer picture of my cheek this morning after i put on a little more foundation for going to classes. It is a little more quantity, a bit more than half a pump plus a little extra dabbing under the eyes (my problem areas together with the nose redness):



The color is extremely natural and peachy-rosy and i find it adorable. I have slightly oily skin especially on my t-zone but i don't use powder anymore. This foundation has an immense fixing and covering potential for a drugstore product. Here are two photos of me 5 minutes ago, 23.53 local time. I did not retouch my foundation today and i still haven't used powder. You'll notice some shine but that's my medium oiliness coming through and it doesn't look that bad in reality. I prefer the dewy, shinier finish much more than the extremely matte and powdered one because the latter just doesn't look good on everyone, looks unnatural and ages the face, not to mention that it over dries the skin.





I have used only the tiniest amount of concealer, the Isadora concealer stick, and i have been wearing this foundation (without powder on top, i repeat) all day long. The concealer is not heavy duty coverage and i kept blending it in with my fingertips all day long because of some unwanted eye pencil smudging i had to clean. Notice the slightly red eyes-that's the continuous dabbing plus the drying central heating in my department's classroom. The skintone appears to be downright yellow with some greenness in it because i took the picture without a flash, in a yellow lamp light. I wanted to get all the details as accurately as possible so that's why i have a yellow face. The color of the foundation is by no means that.

Miscellaneous: contains zinc, urea-that helps with the moisture balance, almond oil, pomegranate extract and marine bacterium ferment (Pseudoalteromonas is the scientific name, checked it up and it is a bacteria responsible with producing antifungal and antibacterial molecules). Does not contain perfume but it has the most amazing scent i have ever found in a foundation,an extremely faint odor of fresh laundry. I love it. It didn't irritate my skin, didn't cause breakouts. Has an SPF of 30 which is a huge plus for me because regular sun protection dries out my skin and forms a very light, almost white film on my skin that i don't really like and find difficult to blend in with any makeup product. So this is a great plus.

some of the ingredients (the European version of the product): aqua, isododecane, titanium dioxide, cyclopentasiloxane, ethylhexyl, methoxycinnamate, polyglyceryl, triisostearate, mica, glycerin, dimethicone/sorbitan stearate copolymer, zinc stearate, prunus amygdalus dulcis oil, punica granatum extract, pseudoalteromonas ferment extract, fructose, glucose, sucrose, xanthan gum, tocopherol, dextrin, alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic and other substances i get tired of typing.

Therefore...: I will definitely continue purchasing it. It seems to be the only foundation i can mix my ELDW with (anything else cakes), has decent coverage, hydrates my skin and looks very fresh. 4 stars out of 5. Now, coming back home after a day of work and stress and everything, i absolutely love the coverage and the hydrating sensation this foundation gives, and i seriously believe it is better than my Diorskin Forever. I dare to say that to me it presents itself as a strong candidate for Estee Lauder's Double Wear dupe.

Just remember- shake well before use!

Makeup fisticuffs-sack the stylist, Kim K!

Oh oh oh. I decided to blog about this kind of stuff every month or week, depending on my bitchiness at the specific time. The reason for doing this is something i've mentioned before, namely the well known impossibility of normal people to follow the standards imposed by celebs, especially when those standards are not even real most of the time. I want to talk about Kim Kardashian because i think many girls my age can identify themselves with her from various perspectives- she's young, with a passion for fashion, wannabe glamazon and darling of the makeup artists. I am a follower of Kim's makeup artist's blog, Mario,like most of the beauty bloggers here. However talented Mario is, Kim's makeup style dangerously lingers in that gray zone between dramatic and tacky; i personally love some traits of her makeup looks, like the lashes or the kajal, but still wonder at some others, like the heaviness and falseness of the foundation and bronzer.

While reading miss Kim's blog i couldn't help at gasping with surprise at a certain post that really caught my eye- Kim posted some photos of her outside a Hollywood restaurant and after the usual fashion and 'you guys, totally you guys' chit chat, she dropped the bomb- claimed wearing absolutely no makeup. Amazeballs!!!!

Okay, but first of all, the usual makeup talk. Sort of an in-and-out thing:

In: Kim's natural traits, namely the gorgeous Bambi eyes that don't need that much makeup to begin with.

Out: damn,that in thing was pretty short! well a list of the outies would be the tranny false lashes, the smudged crayon, the overly contoured eyebrows and the heavy plum eyeshadow.




I actually don't even know for sure if the eyeshadow she's wearing in the first pic is navy, or dark brown, or downright black, because i can't see through the heavy duty eyeliner and the eyebrows. It's just too much, a total disaster, i really think it's a bad example of 'smoky' eye makeup. As for the foundation, what type does she use? In this unphotoshopped picture it appears to be very visible, heavy, caked in the pores of her skin and unnaturally bordering the cheek makeup. That one is absolutely wrong as well- not only it's too much, but i guess her makeup artist didn't use a primer (or Kim must have very oily skin) because the blush and bronzer appear to have gunked and streaked on her cheeks big time.
And for the love of god...what's with the upper lip? is it just me or that little spot looks like it needs some serious waxing? the foundation has clearly not been blended properly in that area giving the look of a serious mustache. Combined with the pearly pale lipstick (that looks dry-yet-oily, emphasizing the cracks of the lips and appearing cakey)it really makes Kim look either sick, in disguise for a Halloween carnival or just a victim of her makeup artist.

Then there was the 'blonde' look:







Before anything else...





Kim, that is NOT blonde. It is an artistically executed orange with beautiful highlights, but it looks like a worn out hemp mop. It's just one of the major disasters i have ever seen. Not to mention the thick black eyebrows...that fortunately have not been colored in the same nuance as the hair, although one's hair must somehow match the eyebrows. It would have been worse to see Kim sporting a pair of orange caterpillars on her forehead. However, who is her stylist? i forgot to check up the details because i was shocked when coming across this photo. I just can't understand how this was possible. You're a celebrity, you can afford a top stylist! If natural black hair can be transformed into beautiful, naturally-looking glossy waves, i.e. Jennifer Aniston, then THAT's a great colorist...whose number you should have struggled a little bit more to get. Sigh sigh and triple sigh.


Then there was THIS:



Okay Kim seriously needs to subscribe to Pixiwoo's blog. Makeup is supposed to bring out your natural features, to make your skin glow and enhance the natural beauty one has. Whoever did her makeup clearly used too much white powder under the eyes and, i assume, unsuccessfully tried to blend it out, resulting in a multi-layered white mess. It's just too much and it doesn't even match her skintone- notice the orange fake baked body.

However i don't totally dislike this look:



This is the only photo of Kim in which her skin is visible through the foundation layer. It looks fresh, natural, not overly done, with the slightest hint of contouring powder/blusher, whatever they used. It's even hard to figure it out which is exactly what makeup is supposed to be like. The cherry, almost russian red lipstick is a great color option that compliments both her natural mouth shape and the skintone, as well as the dark hair, giving the entire look a splash of that classic '50's glam. However, the eyebrows are again overdone. While i love their natural shape (i'm currently growing mine out hoping to get my natural shape 100% back), they appear too thick and having the wrong arch- thick eyebrows should be carefully angled otherwise one ends up with the Camilla Belle look. Kim's brows have been plucked at the wrong angle and give her a severe, '50's boarding school teacher look.

(Her eyebrows look much better here:



While clearly overfilled, the arch is symmetrically shaped and synchronizes the eye socket)

Then there was the Angry Chola look:



Daylight doesn't go that well with Kim's makeup galore. The eyes appear all wrinkled around and squinting while wearing thick black kajal doesn't help at all. The eyebrows are again too thick and too black and the sheerness of the blusher makes the face look plain and tired. Not to mention that huge hoop earrings plus swept back unwashed hair- too '90's.


Then Kim blogged about this look...claiming she was wearing no makeup:







While i kinda like the outfit, i don't see why Kim would lie on her blog, to her readers, claiming she was bare faced when her foundation shines like a light bulb and the bronzer is visible for a mile or two. She has her eyebrows (beautifully) done, as she should always have them, and i can also see a lot of nude lipstick (eew for that purple-ish nude. i really don't like it. brings out even non-existing paleness and makes the teeth look yellow and their owner look sick) and clearly some serious mascara. This is what natural makeup looks on Kim, enhancing her natural features and making her claim she wears none. Being used to wearing a ton of makeup every day has made Kim believe more is less, more is better. Touche honey, touche. It really isn't the case to lie. I seriously got pissed off when reading the words 'me without makeup on'. THIS is what your bare face looks like, bb, in case you have forgotten:







I think that Kim is a very beautiful girl especially without makeup on. of course that she has a few little spots and blemishes, like every normal person, but her skin is pretty much healthy and i love the natural eyebrows and lashes. Therefore miz K has no reason to go around lying.

so yeah. today's makeup catharsis completed. stay tuned.

All about eyebrows. Part 2

So here we go again. Talking about my favorite eyebrow products, i have to say i kinda used more or less everything, or okay, A LOT of the most appreciated stuff. Some of them are products i still have, and some i have used. therefore here's my sincere and honest appreciation.

Powder or pencil- eyebrow shadows look more natural, but I personally can't get the entire brow done with only powder. I still need a pencil for more exact definition when filling in. Still, for the first half of my eyebrows i use powder. I went through many many brands, as i said, and stopped at one, for various reasons.
First of all, I am a bit sorry i can't talk more about the Mac eyebrow powders because i haven't used any. i know the powders are great and naturally looking but i didn't get the chance to shop for some due to the absence of a Mac counter in my city, and going to Stockholm always implies various activities that make me forget about brow stuff...mostly because i already have some.

In my quest for eyebrow magic stuffies i found many many good stuff...and i'm going to make a little top here, with pros and cons. Hope it helps, i would've needed this kind of help during the time i was researching a product and wanted to compare it with others, or just see the thing itself, realistically 'analyzed', not only on websites or in videos where the lighting is not always natural. So i begin with my favorite eyebrow pencils (drums):

1) Shu Uemura Hard Formula eyebrow pencil in Seal Brown:




Unfortunately I don't own this pencil anymore so i can't take a photo of what it looks like on my eyebrows. However, there are a lot of pictures of reviewers who wear this shade; didn't want to upload someone else's photo because well, it's unethical :) but from my experience i can say it is a very good product:

Color: Seal Brown is a very natural medium brown that has a sort of 'chameleonic' property- goes well with almost every skintone and hair color. The depiction of the shade on their website, that rich medium brown with hazel undertones is very close to reality, but just a little too saturated. Basically the hazel undertone is not so accentuated in reality (on the website the brown seems to have real green undertones, and it's not the case).

Quantity: by far the longest eyebrow pencil on the market, easy to sharpen, a little goes a long so you're gonna need just a little bit of it to do the trick.

Application: the well-known hard formulation allows for the perfect control of shading and buildability. The color is activated by the natural oils of your eyebrow hairs and skin therefore it doesn't smudge easily (their claim). It is a hard formulation meaning that the pencil itself has a hard consistency that won't come on the skin easily. You have to insist to draw your eyebrows on, which is a great thing for eyebrows that don't need a lot of definition- it gives a very natural effect and allows you to build up the color where it's needed.

Price: VERY expensive. I can't even get a hold of it here in Sweden, therefore i gave up trying to order online...always out of stock, high shipping prices, etc. So the price combined with their customer service is a little bit of a turn-off.

Therefore...: The cons are that the brown undertones are skin tone-sensitive- they will pop more or less depending on your skin color. They tend to look a little reddish on very pale skin, while perfectly blending in with darker skin tones. The brown actually appears more like an auburn-ish tint, which does not look good on someone with fair-medium complexion and dark hair like me. And a HUGE turn-off- it doesn't photograph well at all. Due to the hard formulation you don't get a powdery finish, therefore every little stroke in your eyebrow is going to appear 3 times more visible than when using even the cheapest eyebrow pencil. These are my major reasons for not repurchasing this product.


2) Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil in Medium Ash:




I uploaded a photo of this pencil in natural light, on the side of my palm, in natural light, no flash. I drew two lines, one of which i smudged, so the undertones would be clearly visible.

Color: Medium Ash is, in my opinion, the best color Anastasia came up with. it is very similar to Shu Uemura's pencil in terms of undertones, hardness, clever concept (the oils in the eyebrow etc..) and price (sigh). It is one of the few eyebrow pencils with no red undertones whatsoever, that caters to absolutely ALL hair colors and skin types. This one is even better than Shu's- though being perfectly universal in chromatic terms, paradoxically it doesn't appear different on different skin tones, despite fitting them all. I use this, and i have dark brown hair, my best friend uses it, and she's light blonde, my former classmate used it and she was a redhead, so on and so forth. It even works for that very difficult hair color, the natural 'mousy' light brown. Thumbs up for the magic in it, i seriously can't think of how Anastasia did this amazing job. It is simply THE pencil that goes for everyone and everything. I bought this and two days after i watched MacNC40's video on YouTube in which she uses this pencil, and her hair appears to be almost raven black. So five stars for the color. VERY natural undertones, but if you closely and carefully compare it with something else (especially with something with strong chestnut undertones) you'll see the weirdest thing ever- it has cocoa undertones, an almost imperceptible pink undertone if i can say so. I will upload a photo with a comparison, hopefully it's gonna be visible.

Quantity and packaging: It's not as long as Shu's but a little goes a long way as well. I also like that it has the greatest spoolie ever. I wouldn't actually go with saying that it lasts forever as some of the YouTube gurus have mentioned because it doesn't. I've had mine for almost a year now, kept sharpening it every three-four uses, and it's definitely shorter. Nevertheless, it doesn't disappear as fast as drugstore eyebrow pencils do.

Application: as hard as Shu Uemura, goes along the same lines of use- hard formulation that allows for perfectly controlling the coloring and buildability. You can either draw in your eyebrows or discreetly fill them in with the same natural results. Extremely, extremely natural. Easy to use, it's very hard to make a mistake. Very good for when you're on the run and you want to basically draw two lines and split. Either you're spending 30 minutes grooming your eyebrows in the mirror or just baby-drawing on your face, the result will be impeccable, and this is what makes it special. Can be used by professionals or by beginners with the same outcome.

Price: cheaper than Shu Uemura, but it remains a high-end product so it burns a little hole in your pocker (the equivalent of 20 euros here in Sweden...ouch!).

Therefore...: One big, major flaw: it doesn't photograph well at all in flash close-up pictures. Weirdly, it looks gray and unnatural, and very drawn on. BIG sadness. However, i will continue purchasing it because despite this major turn-off, it's still 'the one'.





3) Clinique Superfine Liner for Brows in 03 Deep Brown:




Color: This is as close as it gets to perfection. It is perfect for brown haired people, period. It has chestnut undertones, pure chestnut and not red. It is a deep rich brown that compliments very well the entire range of brown hair and even the black one, because it looks very natural. It photographs amazingly, what you see being what you're getting- VERY natural, very rich deep brown. This is the best choice of color i have ever found in a pencil. However...

Quantity and packaging: elegant fine pencil, okay, but the quantity inside is very small. The stick is short and slim, very fragile, and the worst is you can't screw it back, so the chances are you've pretty much screwed yourself if you twisted up more than you needed. Mine never broke but many ladies on Makeupalley said they experienced this when pressing a little harder. Big turn-off. It doesn't last long either, about two months or even less in case of constant use.

Application: again, i am terribly sorry because this pencil had serious HG potential but applying it is a hassle. It is simply too soft. You need at least 15 minutes to fill in your eyebrows, and its softness makes it very difficult if you need extensive eyebrow reconstruction, especially at the beginning of the brow. If not carefully blended it will look very unnatural. It smudges very easily so fixing it with powder is a must. It takes a long time and a light hand to work with this little guy here. Too bad...

Price: expensive but not very. I paid the equivalent of 15 euros.

Therefore...: I don't use mine every day, only for minor filling in, whenever i need more definition of the eyebrows. Photographs very well and looks natural because the color is very intense and the pencil itself is very pigmented. Will keep mine for as long as i can and then i'll think about repurchasing.


4) Isadora Eyebrow pencil in 22 Light Brown:




Color: Neutral brown with warm beige and very light gray undertones. No redness. Hands down, he best drugstore eyebrow pencil i've ever tried. Like Anastasia's, goes perfectly well with any skintone and hair color.

Quantity: The pencil is longer than Anastasia's but it doesn't last that long. The pencil is very soft and gets blunt very easily so i lose a lot of product because i have to sharpen it every time i use it. However, it is something i will continue and continue purchasing.

Application and packaging: as i mentioned, this is a pencil bordering on the soft edge yet it doesn't have Clinique's creaminess. It has a nice consistency and goes on smoothly, while remaining controllable. You don't need a light hand with this because it's not as pigmented as Clinique's, yet the effect is beautiful. It comes with a spoolie that's very similar to Anastasia's so thumbs up for it.

Price: here it's not extremely cheap, almost 9 euros, but i think in the US is definitely a cheapster.

Therefore...: will continue purchasing this until they discontinue it. It photographs very nicely and i don't need to set it with powder because it doesn't smudge.

5) Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil in 01 Dark Brown:




Color: very beautiful, a perfect dupe for Clinique's Deep Brown eyebrow liner. Strong rich chestnut undertones, however the chromatic difference is that this one can appear a little red. But for a drugstore product is more than i would have ever expected.

Quantity and Packaging: normal length, nothing special. Has a different brush on top that's a little harsh but very good for intensive blending- if you have coarse eyebrow hairs like i do and need to seriously blend on a short portion, then this is the brush you want. The spoolie brush is more suitable for even blending, while this one is perfect for specific delimitation. However, you have to be light handed with it because the bristles are stiff. Lasts for a long time because the inside is thicker than in other pencils (the top is also thicker).

Application: this is softer than the Isadora one thus a light hand is again needed. it is VERY pigmented and quite soft so again, go easy with this. That's the minus of this pencil- tricky application, you can't just do it fast but need to be exact and careful. It tends to smudge pretty much like the Clinique one so fixing it with powder is a must, especially if you're planning to go clubbing.

Price: cheap. i got two of these on sale for about 4 euros. yay!

Therefore...: will definitely continue purchasing, but for the moment i'm set with 2 of these. it photographs very nicely as well.


6) H&M Eyebrow Liner in Dark Brown:



Color: this is the cheapest alternative for an expensive eyebrow product. the color is surprisingly natural and similar to the Shu Uemura Seal Brown (i'm so sorry i don't have it so i could compare them...argh!). However, the undertones are a little less pronounced and the color goes more towards a chestnut-hazel light brown. Very natural and especially suited for lighter-haired people. It appears very neutral with absolutely no red undertones.

Quantity and packaging: has the same brush like the Rimmel one though the bristles are much softer. The pencil is shorter and the color stick inside is thinner so you're getting less product. It lasts for a while because you don't have to sharpen it upon every application.

Application: The pencil is naturally soft, harder than the Rimmel one, more similar to the Isadora one in terms of consistency and drawing-ness. It doesn't smudge easily so fixing it with powder or Fix Plus or whatever is optional. It lasts the whole day, looks very natural yet is easily blendable within the eyebrow (doesn't make the creamy mess like the Clinique one). many people don't know about this or just don't even want to think of using it since it's H&M, and i used to think the same until i saw this girl with perfect eyebrows and had to ask her what she was using, and was pretty amazed when she said it was this cheap pencil. Cool.

Price: cheap. 3 euros or so.

Therefore...: because i don't use it very often (it's smaller and gets lost amongst my other pencils...) it's going to last me for a while. But i will definitely continue purchasing it.


Eyebrow powder:


My favorite is again one from H&M, in Brown Shades:



This little box deserves a post of its own. It is a fantastic product because I CAN'T NAME THE COLOR. Seriously, it looks like a dusty shadow and not brown at all. Inside there are two colors, one neutral, a light mousy gray that i can't describe, and the other one a darker 'brown'. I took a flash picture because there's no other way i could've made the color pop. It's simply fantastic. It is the most neutral thing i have ever seen. It's maybe gray...with a little light brown, full stop. These are the swatches:



I love them. Period.
The brush inside the box is obviously crappy so i never use it. I have one from Kicks (Sweden's Sephora), number 109 i think, i'm not sure (will write about my makeup brushes later). But this color is simply fantastic. Just the tiniest amount is enough to give my eyebrows an extremely natural color that doesn't smudge, doesn't change, doesn't oxidize. The consistency of the powder is smooth but not extremely creamy, and the pigmentation is good towards very good- i don't need a light hand with this, just dab the tip of my brush twice in each shadow and then shake it to remove any product excess. It just goes very well with my eyebrows and looks very very natural.
However, since it is a powder, i only use it for the first half of my eyebrows. I cannot stress enough how natural this powder is, and cheap, and wonderful! I do NOT follow the same eyebrow routine as the YouTube gurus do, namely drawing a line on the upper part of the eyebrow as a 'stencil' because if you tilt your head down the line usually appears very visible. This powder goes so smoothly yet discreetly, passing the brush through just doesn't create a visible line which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE. Then, if i want to continue filling in, i just keep building it. Fabulous.

So yep. these are my favorite eyebrow products but due to my nature i'll always be scooping for some more. so most probably i will soon rave about new findings...
