Great for some, just not for me

This is a great eyebrow kit, just sadly not for me. My favourite part of this kit is the double ended brush, on one end there is a spoolie and on the other a slanted application brush. They are easy to use and really help to blend any product into your brows. The wax brow grooming pencil is a great idea, although it does take some getting used to. I can freely admit that when I first used it I had wax smeared all over the place, not a great look. Yet after some practise it became an easy way to take my brows. The packaging is sleek, simple and sturdy. It features a mirror, as well as a clear circle on the lid which allows you to see the all of the product. Also I love that they have included a highlighter in the kit. With my previous kits I have always wondered why there was no highlighter…I feel like my prayers have finally been answered, so thank you Ardell. Now on to my main issue with this kit, the colours. There are 3 eyebrow shades in this compact, one black and two warm browns; one light and one dark. Now for many people this would be fine, but I have cool toned skin and dirty blonde hair so the warm tone browns looked terrible on me. I tried mixing them with the black so make them more neutral, but simply ended up looking ridiculous with massive dark eyebrows. If Ardell produced these kits in a greater range of colours I would definitely repurchase.

Tips: Check to see if the colours would suit you hair and skin tone.

Ardell Brow Kit

Ok - so I'm not a brow expert, but this kit has broadened skills a little. I loved the gel pen, great idea, I used it first to smooth out the brow hair. One thing I found was even the lightest colour wasn't the right colour for me. I have blonde hair and this made me brows look more redder than brown. I added a little bit of the highlighter over the top to lighten it which worked a little. I also think the spool brush needed to be bigger, other than that liked this tool. It's nice packaging, and fits nicely in your make up bag.

Tips: Not the best colour for blondeys :) just add a lighter colour or highlighter over the top and blend.

Easy for the novice

I was thrilled when this arrived. Made Up of a compact with 4 colors and a wax pencil. Easy to use and because it's a powder and there is a light and dark pallet, it's easy to get a natural look. The powder didn't cover my eyebrows more it blended in and made them less patchy so looked really natural however the wax pencil I found quite heavy and for a while I could really feel my eyebrows which was a little odd. The highlighter powder is amazing and really made my eyes pop but the applicator brush felt flimsy and I ended up using my finger to get the right amount I wanted on my brow bone. The compact is easy as to pop into your make up bag only down side is the wax pencil is not attached to the powders so a quick touch up is not so quick.

Tips: This does take longer to apply than a brow pencil so added a few minutes to my routine, don't be afraid to mix the colors up to get your ideal shade and you may find a foam tip eye shadow applicator better to apply the highlighter.

good basic eye brow kit.

After using the Ardell eyebrow kit, my eyebrows had a very natural looking fullness to them and they stayed in place all day. In the kit you get a blinde shade, two brown shades and a black shade. The powder is easy to apply and blend, you get two small angled brushes and a spooly brush and a wax pencil. My favorite feature would have to be the wax pencil as its easy to apply and keeps my eyebrows at bay even if i dont fill them in. Being into SFX makup, i find it would double as a use for blocking out eyebrows too. Im very satisfied by the results and for the price, id definately use it again.

Ardell Brow 'defining' Kit

Set includes: - Brow Palette with 4 colours charcoal grey, deep brown, tan brown and highlighter. - Wax grooming pencil - Duo brow brush,slanted end brush and a spoolie.

Packaging: Matte black palette with Ardell written in white and a circle window to show colours, this makes it super handy to identify amongst other makeup. The case has already got quite smudged with makeup and my fingertips (im not that messy either) it isn't easy to wipe clean so to me its looking a little cheap. Upon opening there is a rectangle mirror and a small slanted brush both handy for on the go. Having the mix of colours to blend is great as you can use which ever you want depending on the style/colour you are going for. I have fair skin and minimal eyebrows so I cant say ill use the darkest colour and instead have been mixing only the two browns.This does seem a shame having the extra colour go to waste but using 3 outta 4 isn't bad.

Application: I just dove right in (remember I hadn't used a pressed brow powder before) First I brushed with spoolie then started with one swipe of the tan brown colour using the slanted brush and started applying from inside out then added in the dark brown to blend and I was super surprised how easy it was, it didnt go on to heavy which made it comfortable to apply. There has been no powder or flakes left on my face - one of my fears of this product! I don't feel like you have to shape them as much as you do with a pencil because you aren't so much drawing them on and rather filling them in or 'defining' as the package states. After desired colour and shape has been met and I have brushed again for added blending, then use the brow grooming pencil which is made up of a wax to set the brows in place, I love using this and it sets them well, just don't over do it here, just a couple of simple strokes is fine. The handy sharpener on the lid is awesome and I wish more pencils had this feature. The last part is the highlighter which has a hint of sparkle, this is where I use the brush included in the compact and apply under my brow arch. It makes a subtle difference,and I like it.

I think the price tag is a little hefty and wouldn't be to my normal budget but with that said it does what it says and has turned out to be a really good product to use daily.

Tips: Don't be heavy handed with the wax pencil or it will look like your eyebrows have been slicked down with hair gel and you might get some build up resembling dandruff.

I think your review is awesome and really detailed! It doesn't matter how long it is. Its only too long when the box doesn't let you write any more :)

Great for raven haired ladies

I was excited to try this product as finding an affordable eyebrow kit that came in black was becoming difficult for me. The colour is a nice black my only flaw is that you have to moisten the brush with some water to get a defined, opaque line. The wax pencil is quick and easy to use and seems to keep everything in place all day long. The highlighter shade is lovely and illuminating. All and all a good product to work with.

Tips: Moisten your brush before applying for a more opaque, defined eyebrow shape.

Brows defined!

How excited was I when BR gave me the chance to review this product! I recently saw the Ardell brow defining kit at the chemist and had decided that I would purchase next time I needed a brow kit. Now that I've had the opportunity to test it out before I buy, here's what I think. The Ardell Brow Defining kit comes in a sturdy little plastic (not the cheap thin stuff) compact containing four different shades; a light shade for highlighting, two shades of brown and a black brown for defining the brow depending on your hair colour. There is also a chubby wax pencil and a double ended brush which has a small angled brow brush on one end and a great spoolie brush on the other for combing everything into place. Now from years of over plucking my poor little brows I have been left with fine patchy eyebrows but let me tell you, this kit sorts everything out without making things look "drawn on". The compact is small enough to throw into any makeup bag along with the accompanying tools but even if you don't want to take the brush, there is a teeny tiny brush inside the compact for on the go touch ups. This compact would suit most skin and hair colours even those with blonde hair as the lighter brown shade would give a nice amount of depth to the brow. Overall I'm really impressed with the Ardell Brow Defining Kit. It does what it says it's going to do and I think it matches any other kit on the market of similar pricing.

Tips: use the spoolie to brush and smooth the hairs, then use the wax pencil to hold everything in place before applying the brow powders.

The darker colours can be used for contouring on the rest of the face and for use as eyeshadows too!

Ohmygoodness

My eyebrows are one of my physical features that I am most proud of. I was blessed with a natural shape, and so I was stoked to be able to review this kit!

The brow kit comes with a wax pencil (with its own pencil sharpener, great idea) a spiral eyebrow brush, two angled brushes and a palette of colours. The best part about the palette is that you can build up your colour until you're happy with it, so it looks natural.

I found the brushes really easy to use, the colour really easy to apply, and I love that there is a pencil sharpener with the wax pencil, especially since it's a jumbo pencil and they can be a pain to find the right size sharpener for.

This is now a regular use item.

Tips: Take it slow, and start light with your colour. It's really easy to build up to a darker shade than it is to lighten!

Im happy with my new brows.

I'm pretty new to the brow enhancing gear available. I've tried a couple of product but without much luck. What I love about this is the step by step instructions on the box. The wax grooming pencil works so well setting the colour in place. Just updating after weeks more of use. I'm loving it. I turning into an eyebrow pro thanks for this kit.:) :). It has become part of my make up routine now. Its awesome. Will be buying this when I run out.

Tips: I used the brush (the one that looks like a mascara brush) to separate the hairs after I applied the wax the second time I used it. It gave a more natural look. The wax pencil is fantastic. You don't need to over do it. All you need is a light application and it sets it for the day.

My New Brow Kit!

Absolutely adored this kit. Can you get an eye trio at home?Absolutely! Need to tide yourself over until you save some pennies for your beauty therapist to get tinting- ladies this your go too.

Where to start? The brow kit is the ideal size for your handbag it comes in a little palette with three different colour's which you can mix together to create the perfect shade to suit you brows. Then there's a highlighting white shimmer for underneath your arch- this highlights your newly beautiful brows.

I would seriously repurchase this kit- you can mix and match and change up your brow looks quite dramatically. Perfect for creating natural everyday brows and great for creating dramatic brows for a night on the town!

I also loved the two brushes that came with the kit, this proved easy to apply (use the slanted brush) and then an almost mascara wand brush to blend out your applied shadow. The kit also comes with a pencil which is in fact a brow gel- this sets your newly tamed eye brows into place.

If this wasn't enough, the fake eyelashes were just beautiful. Today I worked an eleven hour day and they are still in place, no lifting what so ever. I found they fit my eye shade perfectly- they were definitely a more dramatic set of falsies- not for the reserved characters! My eye shadow and liner combo complimented these dramatic lashes, the kit and lash combo would be ideal for a night out!

My new favorite brow and lash combo :)

Tips: Make sure your eye brows are waxed to ensure you have a fantastic basis for creating a fierce eye brow. Experiment with mixing the colour's and applying different pressures with the brush to create both soft and bolder look. With your eyelashes you may need to trim them to fit your eye shape- make sure you blend them once applied with your mascara :)
