Ardell Complete Brow Defining Kit Review

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.

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.

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.
