This is my HG brow product. Cute, compact, and functional. Color works perfectly for me. Only complaint is that the wax runs out way faster than the powder does.

I have black brows and have always used black eyebrow pencil to feather in the spaces. In my quest for a brow kit, I noticed that no one offered a soft black powder, only variations of brown. (My friend also has black brows and uses a dark brown pencil and it looks pretty bad.) I ordered the Urban Decay Brow box in Brown Sugar because of the good reviews, however, was very apprehensive that the powder would be too light. Received it and am thoroughly happy. The darker of the two colors blends perfectly with my brow color. I will use the lighter color as a brow bone highlighter. The wax does a great job of sealing in the powder and keeping the brow shape. Highly recommend!

My biggest complaint is the packaging is a little too bulky, but on the contrast it is very cute and has a little push out draw of wax. I have it in "ginger snap" and i have blonde/brown hair, although my eyebrows are pretty dark. I found this was a tiny bit too red for dark brown eyebrows but overall it went on great.

It wasn't chalky and had a medium pigment which allowed me some wiggle room for mistakes. I use with an angle brush and the best thing is that it does not transfer or smudge, as it comes off throughout the day (like with any makeup) it is gradual so it doesn't look weird by the time you get home.

I use this brow cake everyday- I absolutely love it! It lasts forever too so it compensates for a steepish price.

The only problem I've found with it is that the brush provided doesn't last as long as the actual makeup- mine has lost the nice slant and the bristles have become more spread out- although using a different brush has overcome this problem!

I've never used the gel as I find the cake stays on by itself and I have difficulty applying it.

It comes with an awesome set of tweezers which are awesome but you really do have to keep an eye on as they get lost easily!

Overall, another awesome product by Urban Decay!

This is quite possibly one of my finest investments! It’s a little pricier ($33 CAD) than I would have liked to spend, however; when I add up all my failed attempts at brow fixer-uppers, this Urban Decay Brow Box is well-worth it! I use “Brown Sugar,” the two colours are a very natural-looking duo for filling in the few sparse areas in my dark brown brows. I fill in the sparse areas with the lighter brown shade, and then I use the darker brown shade to extenuate my brow arch. The mini tweezers are perfect for plucking the strays, and the tiny angled brush is small enough to be precise and it picks up the perfect amount of product. My brows remain natural-looking; I don’t like when eyebrows LOOK like they’re penciled in or powdered up, etc. Even though I try to keep my brows trimmed, the wax does a good job of keeping everything tamed and in place through the day. I will repurchase when I run out, but it does seem like it’ll last me a long time. : )


Edit: Due to Urban Decay's new animal testing policy, I will no longer be purchasing Urban Decay products. I changed this product's rating from a 5 to a 4. It's unfortunate, but I'd rather not support the unethical treatment that these animals have to go through.

I LOVE this product it creates the most perfect eyebrows ever! Mine is in beige betty and it is prefect for my warm, fair to medium skin tone and dark brown hair. I never thought I could find such a perfect product for my eyebrows, everything I have ever tried always seemed overly artificial and fake to me. I whole heartedly recommend it to anyone looking for perfectly defined, natural looking eyebrows. It comes with two shades of powder a little brush and tweezers and a large compartment of eyebrow wax; so it a complete package of everything you need. I hate the packaging though. Urban Decay more often than not had disgusting packaging ew. It is functional and hasn't broken or anything it just lacks any appeal from a style perspective. Great product though!

I own this product in 'Gingersnap' as I'm a red head, and I must say I absolutely love it. I use the lighter powder for my overall brow shape and shading, and the darker shade to fill in any patchiness that I have in my brows.

The wax that comes with it excellent for holding my brows in shape for most of the day. The packaging is adorable and the mini tweezers work like a charm.

I've used this product almost everyday for over a year now and there is still a TONNE of product left. It looks like I've only just scratched the surface!

However, my brush bristles have just started to fall out. I'm personally not to fussed though, I have plenty of other eyebrow brushes and a think a years usage isn't too bad at all. It's a little pricey but I'd say totally worth it.

I have this in gingersnap for redheads. I love that you get 2 shades which you can mix if needed. Great color for me.

Eh, I bought this during one of UD's huge sales for only seven dollars. I got in Gingersnap but it does NOT match my hair, not at all. I didn't rate it down for color difference, though.

This product doesn't last a long time throughout the day. The little brush and tweezers that come with it are practically unusable and just seem gimmicky, like they wanted less room for the powder itself. I gave it three lippys because I like the wax that comes with it - I use that every time.

Not worth the money, especially the full price of thirty dollars! That's a complete and total ripoff!

INSTANT LOVE!!! My sister has been raving about this product for a while now so I decided to give it a go... Its AMAZING!! I got it in 'honey pot' and the color looks great on my brows. the texture of the powders are silky, I LOVE the pan of wax, and the small brush is great for precise application!! My brows look perfectly natural, not overdone, not underdone! I'll be repurchasing when I run out =)
EXTREME RECOMMENDAGE!!

No love for this product at all :( Thankfully I was given this as a present because I would of kicked myself for buying it! Box is bulky in my purse, colours are so contrasting from each other so u take you take the risk with one or other of the colours.

The box: 2 compartments, one upper lid which holds the small tweezers,brush and mirror and one drawer for the wax.
Its bulky in make up bag and often opening it the tweezers fell out. Cute little design typical of Urban Decay range.

The mirror is decent size for one eye and practical.

The Tweezers is so small, hard to grip the hair and ofter dropped out of the box.
The brush small , but what can u expect from the box size.
The Wax is horrible, you have to apply it with your finger, and plaster it on to your brow making it look greasy :( ..then your finger is horrible with wax in your nail.

There is 2 choice of colours Dark and Extreamly Dark, I have fair hair and these colours are horrible on my face. I tried applying more to see if it looked better NO, I just looked like markered on my brows and I tried a very little amount NO I looked dirty so there was no winning with this product

so if you have blonde, fair skin blue eyes and decent eyebrows ..just dont even consider this product

*recommend* I would only advise some one with darker skin, hair and brows to give it a go otherwise stay away!

My eyebrows have never looked better! I really like how the brow powders can be mixed to match my brows and the wax keeps my brows tame the entire day.

I love it but I think I got a wrong shade though I'm a redhead.. I got this in Gingersnap but it is too orange-y/red for my eyebrows.. I love the texture of this product, I love the little brush that applies the color evenly and I love the tweezers which are very handy for plugging the most shortest hairs out but I hate the shade.. Oh well, I guess I'm gonna have to try out the one in Honey Pot! :)

I have pretty full eyebrows but my arch is a little sparser than I'd like and I have a scar on my left eyebrow that needs a little bit of love so my friend that used to work for UD gave this product to me in 'beige betty' and I love it. My hair is naturally very dark (2N) and these neutral/ash browns work very well on me. I get compliments on my eyebrows all the time and I swear it's this product. People don't believe that I fill them at all because this makes them so natural looking. It's hard for me to find something that works for my eyebrows because my hair is so dark and using black is too harsh and usually brows are too warm. I was using an Anastasia pencil in ultimate brown but I found that to be too warm still. I could probably have gone a shade darker tho I still thought it was too warm. Anyway the only thing I dont really like is how bulky the box is. Though I do like the wax that's in the box I don't use it and I just use brow gel. The only thing I would change is the bulkiness of the product but it is convinient since it comes with everything you would really need (tweezers, brow brush, powders and wax) overall a great product!

Love, love, love this product!! Being blonde haired and blue eyed... Its really hard to find a product that colors in my eyebrows without making them look unnatural. But, this product does it. :) I bought this at Ulta when Urban Decay artist we're there for a show. I was a little hesitant spending $30.00, but I love Urban Decay and I trust the brand, so I went ahead and bought it... And I'm not disappointed!! $30 is a little steep, but I don't think I'll have to repurchase in 3 to 4 years. Its amazing. I love the wax and the two fillers. The tweezers are great for touch ups. All in all, I love this product and if you purchase it, you won't regret it. :)

I got hustled over to an Urban Decay counter one day when I had wandered into Macy's without any makeup on, lol. At the time I was annoyed at myself for getting suckered into buying so much stuff, but to be honest I use almost every single thing I got that day! This is one of them. It's got everything you need to touch up your brows and the lighter color fits perfectly. Sometimes I mix the two shades and sometimes I just use the wax when I'm feeling lazy. The tweezers I only use when I can't find my fullsize pair, but in my experience they work almost as well. I said that I'd buy this product again, but it's seriously been two years and I've barely made a dent in in the stuff so who knows when I'll have to repurchase.

I'm a sucker for cute packaging and felt very guilty buying this for $29 when I could have easily gotten something similar for less than $10. However......splurging once in a while is healthy :) Love that it comes with a plucker too!

Okay, I know that I may have marked this rather low on a couple of the features but I really can't rave enough about this product!!!

I made a VERY big mistake with my brows about 2 weeks before christmas.... and I was so upset because I felt as though I had hardly any left and that it would ruin my christmas and new years.

so I was going to buy Brow Zings which is made by Benefit, which I heard was the best product for brows.

I looked at the price and was very reluctant to pay that amount of cash... especially since I didn't really know the brand too well.

So I came across Urban Decay Brow Box's and they were on a sale for about £13 so I couldn't resisit getting one!!

I LOVE this product!!

No matter how little or sparse your brows may be, this product can work wonders for them!!

It takes a couple of times to get used to it but as soon as you do you will LOVE this.

I tend to used a larger angled brush than the little one given to me but the little brush it comes with it totally fine and I have used it before aha!!

never tried the pluckers (as I've been trying to stay away from them anyways!! =P) so I'm not sure on how good they are but they look good enough to use when your away for a weekend etc...

Anyways!! This product which comes in quite a few shades is great and it is very easy to build on, you only have to use one shade but using both gives you a very defined look!!

The wax is great and helps to keep the brows set after you have the shape and filling you are happy with.

it's an amazing product and I will for sure be buying another when I run out!!

=)

Absolute delight! I'm the queen of minimal makeup. Two minutes I'm done with shimmer foundation, mascara and lip gloss and out the door. Now that I have seen what a little contouring, polishing my eyebrows have done to my face, I will add this to my daily routine. I love the packaging and I have this in my gym bag for after lunch workout touch-ups. I use a different brush for daily but like the small one while traveling overnight. I also appreciate the tweezers for emergency when i discover that one hair I missed plucking.
Not sure why some gripe about the cost at $30 usd. A little dab will do so I imagine this will last months and months. Pennies per day so well worth it. My only wish would be for colors to pop out of the case so I can change without buying a new box. My hair color changes every season, I will need every shade. I will cuz I love it!

I really really like this set. I have mid brown, sparse brows (from severe overplucking in the 90's!) that always look very harsh and unnatural with pencil, so I thought this powder set might be good instead.

Beige Betty is the perfect set to get if you have normal brown hair like I do. I was going to get the darker one but actually this is dark enough. I use the lighter of the two shades to fill in my brows and then a smudge of the wax to set the hairs in place.

The mirror is a nice size and the kit is very compact. The tweezers are too tiny and fiddly to use so I stick to my Tweezermans, but the brush isn't terrible considering its size.

Overall this is a great little set. My brows look natural and stay put all day long.
