MUA Eyebrow Palette Review


MUA





I love MUA cosmetics. Their products are so affordable and great quality and I cant recommend them enough. I was so excited to see that they had brought out an eyebrow kit I just knew I had to get it.

My eyebrows are not my best asset. They are sparse and quite thin, I would love gorgeous thick brows. I like to fill my eyebrows in, and before I bought this kit I was using a light brown eye shadow to fill them.

The kit comes with a dark brown, a light brown, a highlight and a brow wax. It also includes a little double ended angled brush and a mini tweezers. So handy!

Since my hair is blonde, I use the lightest colour to fill my brows. The powder is a good match for me and lasts pretty much all day. I think the dark brown will come to use as an eye shadow for me.

The highlight shade is a bit of a fail for me. It is matte and has an orangey tone to it. I am quite pale so it would look really strange on me if I used it as a highlight. It may work better for those of you with a darker skin tone than me.

My eyebrows are quite sparse so aren't unruly in the slightest. I did try using the wax and I found that it didn't really do anything for my brows except make the shadow on them appear darker. I think it could work well for someone who has unruly brows though.

I love the packaging and the size of the mirror inside the compact is great. I love the little brush and tweezers. I find they work great for me although when I am at home I will be using my Too Faced angled brush with the kit as it is such an amazing brush for eyebrows.

Overall, this is a great eyebrow kit and a great price. I would recommned this to everyone. Even if you are not dark brunette or blonde. You can mix all the colours together to get your perfect brow shade.

The Palette retails for £3.50 and is available from Superdrug and MUA cosmetics website.

Beautiful Brows: MUA Eyebrow Pencil Review

I had been using a taupe coloured eye shadow to fill in my brows, but I decided to upgrade to a pencil, so when I saw the MUA eyebrow pencil in Superdrug for £1, I had to try it. I chose the colour Blonde as I have naturally light coloured eyebrows with blonde hair, so I think any other colour would have looked too harsh on me. It also comes in the shade Brunette.

I love the fact that it comes with a little brush on the end of it, very handy.

The colour is perfect for me, its a light brown slightly bronze colour, but it blends perfectly with my brows and looks as natural as possible.

Its a very soft pencil which is great as it means it is quite hard to be too heavy handed with it. However there is a drawback as it has to be sharpened after every use.

The staying power of this pencil is great, it lasted all day. I highly recommend this pencil for someone who is fair, why spend more money on an eyebrow pencil when you can get an amazing one for £1. 

The only draw back is that it only comes in two shades. Hopefully they will expand the colour options soon because this is a great product.
