As a beginner I found this a bit hard to work with. My brows are pretty full and don’t need much doing to them to start with, but every time I use this I find I spend a long time trying to get it to look good and either end up going way overboard or having it not look much better than usual. It’s not super powdery and it doesn’t have any fallout which is great, but it kinda feels just like eyeshadow. I’ve heard a lot of youtubers use brow products to create hair-like strokes and maybe I’m just bad at it, but it doesn’t seem to be possible with this product.

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!
Mellow never misses a beat! Those product is SO easy to use and apply, and really holds out against claims. Smudge proof - after application this product SITS. Humidity resistant - humidity is one of the biggest factors to consider when choosing makeup. Nobody wants to look like they’ve washed up on a beach and lay in the sun for hours. So it’s awesome that you can apply your eyebrows without worrying what the weather will do to them. Long lasting wear - true. The only way this product has come off is when I’ve taken my cleanser and a face cloth to them.
I've tried many creams, pencils and wands but this powder is the best all-rounder. You use the dark side closest to your nose and the light on the rest as your brow thins out. It has such good staying power and will remain as-is all day. The powder really defines and if you use light brush like strokes it's not obvious you are wearing it like a pencil can be. One pot will last years compared to a pencil that will break or just wear out in a few months. I remove with my normal makeup remover but you definitely have to give it a good scrub with a facecloth to get the remains off.
Tips: It comes with a wee brush but recommend you have another longer one in case you lose the small one in your bag as it's quite tiny.
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.
