Smashbox - Brow tech
The wax is a really nice consistency. It's not stiff so it doesn't change the point of and angle brush and you can use just a little to coat all of the necessary parts of the brow. I loove the fact that it's not tinted. Only because a tinted wax is almost universally done in a warm shade and I like to keep things naturally ashy.
The powders: Like the fact that there's two very complimentary shades instead of one for dark hair and one for light hair like I've found in many products. They are really finely milled and don't look like powder in your brows. They will seal up if you use the same brush for the wax and the powder but I have plenty of brushes so I find that easy to avoid. I use the darker of the two shades through the back of my brows and in any sparsely haired places and the lighter shade through the fuller front of my brows. This gives an extremely even look under both natural and artificial light.
Only complaint is that this compact is tiny. The whole thing, lid included, is about the size of an AUD 10c piece. The three product pans together wouldn't be much larger than an AUD 5c. The wax side is an OK size I guess - but I'm relieved to hear that you can buy the wax separately because I can see it running out kinda soon. The powder pans are only a quarter of the compact though and some larger brow brushes - like the real techniques brow brush, which I love to use - barely fit. Don't quite understand what the benefit of such a tiny compact was supposed to be - the guy who sold it to me had no idea either. All I can think of is that it brings a nice increase to the profit margin.
