I actually bought the product for the Light portion of it because it's the EXACT same product as their Under Eye Brightening Corrector.
AND GET THIS: .....the Shadow& Light pot is cheaper but does have less product.
I'm not complaining since I get to try both products, I just think I'm going to run out of the undereye brightener portion of it first :l
I got the shade Mocha. There's only 2 colours available in the mousse, the lighter one (the one I don't have is called Cocoa.
They announced on Instagram that they would be selling a new colour in January. I kind of wish I got to try it before buying Mocha.
I'm review the Brow portion of the product today:
Colour:
It's quite dark in the pot but you can make it work even if you have brown hair (that is of course if you use a light hand and you sheer it out). Also, I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem. I find that on my skin tone I can almost see a warm undertone to it, which I wish it didn't have but it's really not that noticeable. I really like more grey, cool, taupe but this leans on the warm side. Don't let the dark colour fool you! It's not too pigmented so you don't end up with markered-on looking brows. Also, there's no sheen to the product, it is matte :)
Wear:
It lasts pretty well for me. It does move if you rub hard enough. Also depending on how much you've sheered the product it will wear faster but I don't see a disappearing brow so long as I haven't touched my brows.
Left to Right: Without Product, With Product
(And yes they are of different scale and facial angle and it is the same brow, I just could not get the quality right. I'm really sorry :S)
Application:
I apply this with a thin synthetic angled brush. This is a tip for the oily skinned: you can apply a dusting of translucent powder to the brow area before you apply. It will matte down that area and keep the product on longer.
I do find the product is soft, if you have too much on your brush you will have teeny tiny clumps so always wipe off the brush and have a tiny amount on the brush.
A word of caution, if you put too much of the product you will feel it, but I applied heavily that time for testing purposes.
Too be honest, I haven't tried other brow mousse like the Dip Brow so I can't quite compare.
I do think that this type of brow look is more suited for strong makeup days (for those newer to makeup) because it can really give you a defined looked unlike a pencil or powder can. But of course you can always soften up the look with a spoolie and have a very light hand to get a pretty natural look. It is after all toned down on the pigment aspect so you can pull off a natural look with it.
I will do a separate review on the Light portion of the product but I'll quickly let you know if you are fair skinned and you plan to use it as a highlight under the brow this is too pink and too dark for it to function like that. If you do have fair skin, it really works best as it is originally marketed as an undereye brightener.
Overall:
I'm going to have to say currently the colour range is limited so it won't suit everyone. It lasts all day without rubbing, if you are a face toucher I don't see this lasting. It's great for the really stubborn bald spots because the product will stick to that area and you can mimic brow hairs with a thin brush. If you have a light hand with it you will not feel the product.
I would recommend trying on the colour in store if you can and see if you don't mind dealing with a detailing brush, wiping excess on the back of your hand..... etc. you get the drill.
Please leave any questions below. Thanks for reading :)
