This review has been a long time coming. I've been the happy owner of a HD Brows palette now since I received one in a long ago Glossybox and since then, it has been the only product I have used for filling in my eyebrows.
I absolutely love the sleek black palette, the powders are reasonably sized on the inside and last for a really long time and it has a handy mirror for on-the-go application yet it's still small enough to fit in my makeup bag and take away with me. I don't normally bother with freebie brushes as they're not usually great quality but I actually really like the one that comes in the palette and use it on a daily basis.
I always use Dark Brown as the main shade for my brows, as it looks really natural on me and matches my hair colour perfectly. I start applying it midway down my eyebrow filling in the midsection and tail and then use what's left of the product on the brush at the front of my eyebrow to keep it looking natural as I'm not a fan of a strong brow on myself.
I then take the shade Carbon and apply that to any sections that are a little sparse and to the tail to give more definition. Even though this is black it doesn't look overly dramatic and blends nicely in to keep my eyebrows looking au naturel and not too heavy. I put a quick slick of Maybelline's Brow Drama on to keep them in place and I'm all done.
The palette is fantastic quality, all the shades are really pigmented, super blendable, longwearing and I've had my current palette for nearly 2.5 years and I've only just now started using my new palette. It's also a handy little bonus that it doubles up as eye shadows, I've used Carbon countless times for a smokey eye and it is seriously black. It also works really nicely for lining the upper lash line when you want something a little softer than liquid liner.
Overall, I couldn't recommend it highly enough and it is probably my all time favourite product, if you read my post here, you'll know why it's been such a lifesaver for me. It has saved me from many eyebrow disasters by filling in any gaps and given me defined eyebrows that I never thought I'd have.
Great colour palette, looks really natural on you. I've just bought the Tom Ford brow charcoal, the packaging is really cool as the pencil is angular for simple application - it's amazing but quite an angular look that wouldn't suit all. Have a nice day, Nx

I know, I'd love to go to a professional HD Brows salon and get them done but for now I'll stick with the palette haha! xx
DeleteI've not tried the HD brow palette before, the shades suit you so well. I always really struggle to find a brow colour that matches perfectly, I am still on the look out!

Thanks Rachel, it can be tricky, I'd say this isn't a perfect match for me but I don't think it's too far away from my natural tone so it works, good luck! x
DeleteNow this is one product that I need! I got my HD brows done a few months ago by a professional and I loved the outcome. I'm lucky that I have full, dark eyebrows to work with. I must look into this :)

Thanks Belle! Even when I think I've done them more dramatically, they still don't look particularly bold on camera haha! Guess I need to be a bit more brave x
DeleteThat dark brown shade looks ideal for my brows... so natural and perfect xx

It is a brilliant shade! x
DeleteI really fancy this! I tend to use a dark brown Bobbi Brown eyeshadow but it would be nice to have a proper kit :)

If you fancy treating yourself, it's worth it ;) xx
DeleteI was so annoyed when this was in a Glossybox a while ago as I unsubscribed just before that box! haha. I really want to try this brow palette, it sounds great.
