I have been using this eyebrow makeup for quite a while now. In fact, I would say it is over 3 years old and it still looks like it will take me forever to empty this pan. I know makeup expiration only lasts for a year and so, it really depends, but I think if you look after your makeup, sanitise it by spraying 99% Isopropyl Alcohol on it, it will be okay; and you will know yourself if it's not safe to use it anymore, especially if it looks tacky and gross. If so then bin it!
Anastasia Beverly Hills (ABH) Brow Powder Duo is a very good quality eyebrow product. There are many variations, and you are bound to find one that will match your brow colour. From Asian to Caucasian, Red to Dark and so on. This product is easy to apply and pigmented. I will never go back to using an eyebrow pencil. It's just the best! I could talk about this product forever, that's how much I love it!
After applying the ABH Brow Powder Duo, I also like to apply ABH Tinted Brow Gel just to give my eyebrows an extra kick. Not too much, as I want my eyebrows looking natural and not overdrawn. The only downside to this product is the wand; which is quite big for the eyebrows. It would be perfect if the wand was smaller. It would make it easier to apply and manoeuvre the product on your eyebrow without any excess tint finding its way under or on top of your eyebrows. It's really annoying! The only way you can avoid this is by applying it as gently as you can. To be honest, you really don't need this Tinting Gel, as the Brow Powder Duo has already done the job. However, as I already said, I like to use it to give my eyebrows that extra little kick. Just Myra being Myra :-)
ABH Brow Gel is also one of the best brow gels out there. It really helps keep my brow hair in place and lasts for the whole night. It doesn't smear nor smudge at all. You can leave all these products I have mentioned on all night long, and it is still there when you get home. I have tested them myself, so I know. There's nothing much more I can say about this brow gel. I love it and I have almost finished it. This has lasted for quite a while, I got it at the same time as my Brow Powder Duo. It's still great and I have experienced no skin irritation anytime I used this product.
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion is just perfect! This really helps my eye makeup last longer and helps prevent smudging, especially if you have oily eyelids. This primer works like magic! I don't know if there's any eye primer out there that can beat this one, if there is let me know please. Oops, I just remembered Nars Pro Prime is great too! Ha.
Lastly, I used Kylie Cosmetics - The Burgundy Palette in the video. If you haven't seen it yet just scroll down and press PLAY. Also just click this link "Base Makeup Review" if you haven't read the first part of this blog.
Anyway, back to Kylie! I love this palette so much. It is very pigmented and so easy to apply and blend. The longevity is great! I can't fault this palette at all. I bought this two years ago and I still haven't hit the pan. I must admit, buying this palette along with Kylie Lips Kit hurt my budget! The delivery was free but the TAX was beyond extortionate. You don't wanna know. I just wish we could purchase Kylie's Cosmetics at Beauty Bay, which is a British site where you can buy American makeup products. It would be handy and more affordable!
Oh wait.. I just browsed the internet and found out there is Kylie Cosmetics UK website now. Woah.. !!!!!
In the video I used "Dubai" on my eyelid, "Beach" on my crease as a transition, and I also used "Penny" to blend on top of the Beach, just to give a little extra pop. Then I used the same brush to apply the remaining product to the bottom of my eyes. And that's it.
I then applied MAC Eyeliner on my upper and bottom lids. Smudged the upper lids to keep it soft, as well as making my eyes a little bit bigger at the same time. Then on the bottom lids, I also applied Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner on top of the MAC Eyeliner; just to keep it simple and natural. Both of these eyeliners are great! They don't smear and the longevity is great!
