What Brow Powders Do you use?

Hi!

Wanted to ask the WOC what powders you use as a brow shader.
My brows match perfectly to MACs Spiked Brow pencil.. but I want to try a Powder or shadow.
I used to use Benefit's Brow Zing in the dark.. but I tried it again and it looks strange..

Does anyone use a specific MAC shadow?? or maybe something I can find @ Sephora...

Let me knoww

I use LORAC Take a Brow in Dark Brown, I like that I can mix the brown and black and it has a wax too. Great kit for darker brows, most companies don't have a dark brow kit.

Sephora: LORAC Take A Brow: Eyebrow Enhancers

I use the Chanel Professional Brow Duo in Brun but have found that the dark side of the HIP Concentrated Duo in "Shady" also works.

Bateau (discontinued) or Soft Charcoal/Maple Shader on inner brows only, Spiked on outer. I'm going to get Mystery, too.

Espresso e/s works fine for me. It's just a bit "dull" looking on me if that makes sense...

I use Espresso on myself too. I agree that it looks ashy in the pan though...

Re: What Brow Powders Do you use?

I've tried MAC Espresso (but agree it can look a bit ashy) but my current fave is the Smashbox brow fix stuff in Brunette. I think it might even come in a darker colour than that. Sometimes the wax in the kit is enough by itself to darken my brows and give them some shape. And I think I'm right in thinking that Sephora in the US sells Smashbox?

ETA: My brows are a mess though, so I feel like a bit of a fraud giving any advice on this topic!

I use Benefits little box with a wax and a powder, it's really good. Also ModelCo has made a similar one, in a pink box, and that set also includes some shaping things....

Re: What Brow Powders Do you use?

You know what I use..I use the dark brown from my Smokey Eyes Palette. I think it's calling Smoking. It's a dark matte brown. I have thick eyebrows so I mainly use it to line the eyebrows. I don't fill in but a little on the outer edges and it's a perfect match for me. Black would look bad on me

I agree 100% with Jane Browny Points. Mine broke and I went through hell to find a new one. I also use Milani Rich Chocolate, Mac Spiked and Stud, and the Maybelline Define a Brow Pencil is dead on for Mac Brow Pencils. In fact I like them better and those will be a repurchase for me. The NYC Brunette Brow Powder/Wax duo isnt bad either (although I dont like wax in my brows but maybe thats just me).

MAC Embark e/s works fine for me. I've used MAYBELLINE Darkest Brown brow powder in the past. That worked fine too.

Re: What Brow Powders Do you use?

I use Texture shadow for my brows...it looks auburnish over my brow wax and has a bit of a shimmer but it luckily doesn't show up on my brows.

I was surprised when the MAC MUA tried it on me, it matches really well because my hair is a light color.

Re: What Brow Powders Do you use?

I use gentle heat from the warm eyes holiday palette or the brow shader in porcelaine/browning. I used to use charcoal brown and sometimes espresso, but found more ash/taupe shades to be more subtle on me (even when my hair was black).

I don't have anything that's almost black, just full on black matte shadows. sorry.
