In
last few years brows have suddenly become quite important for anyone who is enamoured with makeup. There is quite an influx of products o get that perfect
brows from pencils to brow gels to powders to gel pomade etc.
Even
in India we have seen few of these products from Maybelline and Lakme. Now even
L’Oreal has decided to join them with affordable brow enhancing products with
its latest L’Oreal Brow artist Genius
Kit. That shade I’m reviewing is 01
Medium to Dark.

measure eyebrows for whichever look you are going for: natural, defined or

Packaging:
L’Oreal Brow artist Genius Kit
comes in extremely sleek and chic packaging. It has metallic silver as outer
case and the lid has full size mirror on the inner side of lid, product is fit snugly in pockets of black base. It comes equipped with small duo ended brush with spooley and angled brow brush which quite truthfully is quite useless.
The packaging is quite travel
friendly as it is sturdy and the lid shuts pretty securely.
Texture:
The brow powder has beautiful rich creamy texture and easy to blend formula
which helps it stays on the brow for long time without any real requirement of
brow primer.
The brow wax is quite thick and I
was bit sceptical to use it, but it has unique texture to say the least. It is
not too creamy or too sticky like normal brow wax but very powdery kind of wax
which makes it look natural on the brows.

My
Experience:
When I started with this brow kit
I dint really have high expectations as such, but it manage to impress me quite
well. It is very easy to use the product to achieve natural looking fuller
brows. Also it doesn’t take long to get perfect brows with combination of both
the products.
It has really great staying
power. It lasted for good 9 hrs on me without fading a bit.
It is said to use the wax above
the powder to keep it in place, but I prefer to use wax as a base and apply
powder to make it look more natural as wax on top gives very flat and slight
sticky brows look.
Sometimes I top it up with brow
mascara to give it more natural and fuller look. It works beautifully that way.
Some people may feel its bit expensive but I feel quantity and quality more
than justifies the cost.
