I've tried a few brow colors and Anastasia's are my favorite. This kit comes with two colors so I can blend to get the perfect amount of definition and the wax is smooth and easy to apply. The brow highlighter is great too, but I don't really use it if I'm not wearing eye make-up. Fab little brush gives me a feathery application so that filled-in spots look natural. Only two of the stencils fit my brow shape so the rest are going to girlfriends so that they can save and just get the brow kit without stencils. The stencils can be a little tricky the first time but they do give a lovely shape. Money saving tip! If you are using the stencil for plucking purposes and not to apply the powder for make-up then trace the brow shape on your face using a 99-cent liner pencil. I like using white so that I have a bright line to see where I should and shouldn't pluck.

I tried this out in grass (bright! green) and moonshine (sparkly white) with a layer of Urban Decay's eye primer underneath. The color is amazing and is surprisingly easy to blend and lasts a long time. With the primer I was able to wear the moonshine color all day. The grass color lasted about 6 hours before I needed to touch up the creases which is something I'm willing to do to achieve the vividness of color. I suppose you could blend it so that it wouldn't be as bright and then it would probably need fewer touch-ups, but I bought it for the dramatic color. Love it!

This is an amazing little concealer set. One color to minimize redness and two for blending into that perfect coverage with a 4th pan of powder to set it all. The only reason this doesn't get a 10 is because the brushes are awful. Tiny and low quality compared to the full-size brushes from Sonia Kashuk, I only use them when I don't have my own full size brushes. However, if you have your own brushes this is one of the best concealer sets out there. The coverage is really nice and because of the versatility you get exactly what you need where you need it.

I use several different types of shadows and this primer really helps keep them in place. First a few tips when using this stuff. Don't use too much! Usually I wipe the excess off the applicator onto the lip of the jar and use what is left for both my eyelids. I have fair skin so I just blend it up towards my brows. I find the thinner application doesn't make the color "pop" as much but it still keeps my shadow from creasing. I've had the same bottle for about two months and there is still more inside. This is a must if you are using loose powder mineral make-up and useful if you want your regular shadow to last through the day. I found that is helped keep my creme shadows on longer, but I still had to reapply after about 6 hours. Love it!
