I love this, everything included in one little fancy red velour compact with the brush , the scissors, the tweezers powders and wax, I like the three colours of powder so that you can mix and match to make your perfect shade. I use this everyday! just worried because it is discontinued but I like the fact that I haven't even made a dent in mine and I've had it for over a year. It stays put until you take it off.

This -- well, and prob lipgloss, if I'm being completely honest :P -- is about the only thing in my makeup bag I use EVERY SINGLE DAY without exception - even on my 'no-makeup-because-I-haven't-got-the-time-and/or-am-too-lazy/tired' days.
My brows are very thick and dark (my hair's nearly black) and nicely shaped all on their own. But this powder/pomade duo provides a finishing touch that is just amazing. And I can't live without it. I honestly don't feel ready to go out of the house if I haven't used this - my face just feels unfinished (even, as I said, on my no makeup whatsoever days).
The little brush that comes with it is great. Stiff bristles make for an easy application, and most of the time I don't even touch the powder (I don't really need it). The pomade keeps my brows in place, though, beautifully. I comb it through and don't have to worry about it for the rest of the day, until I wash my face in the evenings. Wonderful :)
It's pretty inexpensive, and besides you use so little of the product that it lasts for ages (I've been using the same on now for months and months and still it's not even close to being gone...) I suppose if you're one of those people who needs to draw their brows on, then this isn't for you. But for touch-ups and just giving that clean polished appearance to the brows, this is PERFECT.
I love this stuff so much. And it seems to pop up at those discount stores, too, which is just a bonus for people like me who do love it so much! I stock up whenever I see it.

I do like this product, but I find that I have to be very careful to make sure I dont put too much on, or else I look like a freak. Overall, Id say this is an ok product, defantly better eyebrow fillers out there

I've had this product and hated it at first, but recently decided to give it another go. Well, I love it now! I use the blonde, and I need the definition in my brows as they are almost invisible otherwise! It defines perfectly and lasts all day, even though I don't use the waxy crap that comes with the powder. I think my problem before was the brush included with the compact, it just didn't place the product as perfectly as I'd like and it scratched the hell out of my skin (uber-sensitive). So now I'm using it with Sonia Kashuk's angled eye brush, and it works like a dream. I highly recommend this product, although it sounds like it's discontinued now. Boohoo!

I've had this product in Brunette forever. It is the only thing I use everyday, without fail.

The color matches my dark hair perfectly. It lasts until I wash it off, never fades or smudges. My only gripe is I can't find it anymore.
UPDATE: I found it at Big Lots for $1. Picked one as backup, but I seriously doubt I will need it because I barely made a dent in the one I've been using for the past 2 years.

I love this product! I use blonde and it matches my brows even though I am brunette. I can't find this product anymore though.

I'm brunette and my brows are very dense, so if they aren't defined and kept in place, they just end up looking like thick, unruly man-brows (lol). I've tried some other products, mostly "brow mascaras", but nothing's been as effective as this stuff. I'm so pleased, especially since taming my brows is a MUST for me, every single day. Without the correct product, that equals a real nightmare (not to mention that it's time-consuming!) It's cheap and effective. So easy to use, too, and the brush is tiny and real stiff - perfect for this job. Looks natural and washes clean.

This is a good product. I used it quite alot until I discovered Stila's brow powders (which are better and more convenient for me as I can put them in a palette). I recommend this for anyone who wants a good brow powder for a good price. The package is convenient with the brush included. I didn't get much use out of the wax so I will probably not purchase again as I like the Stila better.

I use this in Brunette. I find the shadow to be a perfect shade for filling in my brows and the staying power is amazing (the last thing I want is smudges around my eyebrows!) It's more natural looking than pencil. I don't mind the brush, either, although others have said they don't care for it, I think it's fine- just a little small. The wax doesn't hold my brows in place as well as I'd like and can smear the shadow a little; I usually skip it and use brow gel instead. I get tons of compliments on my eyebrows and people are always surprised that I do them myself and ask how I keep them looking so nice- this is the answer. If only the wax was better!

In Brunette

It took me awhile to learn to use this product, but is now my favorite brow product. I am fair complected and have naturally sparse brows. Used with a brow stencil, it works excellent. I no longer use pencils, because my brows look so much more natural with this product.

After applying with stencil, I lighten it with a q tip, then use the wax. I like it better then using clear mascara or brow gel, as it doesn't leave that gummy residue. Instead of overplucking, I bring my brows inside the stencil, and use what I have. Like I said, they are naturally sparse.

I do agree that the eyebrow brush leaves much to be desired, but I plan on getting a new brow brush.

I have light brown hair with highlights and also have Loreal in the blonde hue, but it is too light. I was surprised that once I got used to it, the brunette really is a better shade for me. I use the Loreal just a smidge with it so that there is color variation. But this color on it's own would be fine.

I really had high hopes for this. I bought it in blonde and it seemed like a great thing for a brow fanatic to have. The poor quality is just laughable in the little brush..the bristles are so prickly that they actually HURT my skin and it's not even close to being the right shape to fill in my brows. The powder is just a taupy eyeshadow that didn't match my brows at all. The wax was greasy and managed to smudge all of the powder making my brows look like a mess. The compact is pretty cute but not enough to redeem this disaster of a product. I will not buy this one again.

I don't have any original ideas to add besides what the other gals have said. Just wanted to add my rating. This is a good product, love how it combines color and wax to hold brows. now I just need to figure out how to shape my brows!

I stumbled across this one day while browsing in Walgreens. I have it the darkest shade, a deep dark brown. I love it, it wears well all day, doesn't smudge, and you can't beat the price-around $5 I think. I don't routinely use the wax component to keep the brow hairs in place, but the few times I used it, I thought it worked nicely too. Great product IMHO.

Love it! Gives me that defined look. So subtle no one really noticed it. But it brought out my brow shape, someone commented on how my eyebrows looked different! I suppose that you could get just brown eyeshadow, but I always have no luck, and get shadows that are shimmery or don't look right, or have the wrong undertones (like red, which makes my brows look very funny). The brush I must admit does nothing but is cute as hell! The wax... dont know if it does something but is soo cute. I little expensive for a drugstore brand eyebrow filler. But I love it all the same, its going on my re-purchase list when I run out (which will be in the next 10 years.... :P)

where has this been all my life? an ingenious little kit with wax and powder. also there is a little brush but it's SOOO tiny I use my real brushes. it looks quite natural on and helps to keep my brows in shape. I didn't read the instructions when I first used it, you're supposed to powder, THEN wax. LOL amazing.

I have this in Blonde and I love it. It's small and easy to carry in your purse. The brow color is very realistic on my medium brown brows. They say to go a shade lighter for filling in, and the Revlon is perfect shade for me. I use a bit of wax on the brush, then run it over the color and brush it on.The wax helps hold a nice line and persuades some of my unruly hairs to clean up their acts. When I use this brow duo, I get a nice clean arch and my brow hairs line up like the Rockettes. The price is right, too. I have the Stila brow duo in an eight-pan, but I find myself reaching for the Revlon much more frequently.

I've been looking for an alternative to clear mascara to keep my eyebrows groomed, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on this product. I purchased BrowMaker in Blonde, because I have medium brown hair with blonde highlights and am planning to go blonder. IMO this product gives the same effect as Smashbox's for a fraction of the price (I think I paid about $5). It is a small compact that comes with a tiny stiff-bristle brush, and one side has a "velvety powder to define and enhance brows," while the other side has an "easy-to-apply translucent wax" to keep brows in place. I like BrowMaker because the wax stays soft and doesn't turn white and flake off like the clear mascara I've used on my brows. I'm only giving it a 4 though, because Revlon recently decreased the amount of product that comes in the compact significantly by placing it in *triangles* instead of *squares.*

I found this to be a great product. This comes with a powder to fill in brows, and a wax to fix the brows in place. I sometimes use the powder, but what I really need and love is the wax. Just a little bit works well to keep my brows in place.

I didn't like this at all. The brush in it is unusuable because it's so cheap and stiff. The powder is just like a brown eyeshadow that you'd find anywhere else. The wax doesn't seem to do anything and actually seems to smudge the brow filler around, making my brows look untidy. Blah. I did give it a 5 for packaging though, because the little compact is very cute.
