Hi guys! How's everyone doin'? Everytime I do my makeup, doing my brows is always the hardest. It is my least favorite part because I'm always trying to draw the shape I prefer, but whatever I do or even how hard I try to perfect it, I never get satisfied with the shape. So just recently I found out a contest online by Kate Tokyo Philippines on facebook. You have to buy a Kate product then post a selfie. Thus, I thought maybe I would join, since it's pretty easy and I really wanted to try the Kate Designing Eyebrow.
I did bought it, and joined the contest! The photo above is my entry by the way :) And since I've been loving this recently, And there's still days to buy this and maybe you want to join the contest too, here's a review of the Kate Designing Eyebrow N in EX-5.
There are two shades available, EX-4 which is lighter and is kinda yellowy and EX-5 which I have is bit darker and is kinda red-toned.
This costs Php 720 My wallet is crying huhuhuhu but it's worth it!
This product is damn expensive for a brow product but I guess it's worth every single penny because the first thing I've noticed is that the powder is so fine and not chalky at all so whenever I would dip my brush, it doesn't even make a dent, thus a little goes a reaalllyyy long way. And the SA also told me that it's matipid to use.
Everything you need such as a mirror and a brush are also already included. And the rectangular container is tiny that it can fit into anything.
It comes with a mirror and a small dual ended brush (a blending and slanted brush)
It has 3 shades of powder, a very light brown, a medium brown, and a dark brown.
Here's a swatch of the 3 colors. The two darker powders are fine, and you have to use a fine slanted brush that way it picks up the powder well and it deposits the powder unto your brows better. The lighter shade is softer than the two shades, thus a soft blending brush is perfect for applying it.
I like that this powder is hard to remove, I rubbed it a few times after swatching and it didn't came off. So same thing when it's on your brows, it's not going to move the whole day.
As I said earlier, the darker shades are dry and hard when you use your finger, like it's wouldn't transfer to your fingers so you really have to use a brush with this that's why it's already provided. Every dip of brush, gives you enough powder.
This product is multi-functional as well because you cannot only use this as a brow powder, you can also use this as an eyeshadow and a contour. The lightest shade is just perfect to define my nose line, you wouldn't see it because it's light, but it defintely makes a huge difference!
I highly recommend this Designing Eyebrow from Kate Tokyo!
Here's a photo of me wearing this on my brows. I contoured my nose as well using the lightest shade. And I used the middle brown color as a transition color for my eyeshadow. It looks so natural on my brows and fits my hair color too. Believe it or not, I'm always excited now to do my brow routine everytime I do my makeup because of this! I Love this eyebrow kit so much! :)
And before I forget, I joined the contest Selfie to Japan, PLEASE PLEASE like my photo, I need 1 thousand likes! I want to go to Japan so badly. All you have to do is to like Kate Tokyo Philippines facebook page, then like my photo by clicking here.
