I feel the same way about them. I was hoping to find one to love in the new collection since Stud has been hard to find lately for some reason, and Spiked is too light for me. Though I recently had a MA tell me that no one really needs to use Stud, and that I should just use Spiked. But when I tried Spiked, it's noticeably lighter than my natural brows, so I'm really not comfortable with that. Has anyone else been told that no one really needs to use Stud? I felt like it was just a way for the MA to get a sale since they were out of Stud but had Spiked in stock, but maybe I'm wrong :dunno:
