About quality there's no complaints! Absolutely natural, easy to use and deliver excellency! My sister compliments my brow so much! I have it in the dark set! The only thing that is the steep price: 18$ is a lot for brow (sorry I'm cheap). The packaging is a little cheapie for a HE product, I wish it comes in flip pan like mac so you could open w/ 1 hand. Seperated cap is bounded to be lost! The quality is excellent through! I say buy it!

I love Stila overall, and had wanted to try this for so long until I finally bought it about 2 months ago. It has replaced my other brow products (both powder and pencil). The Stila MA taught me to use both colors (light to outline and dark to fill in), and I love it! She also taught me how to take out the pans from the pot with a pin and I can now put it in my Stila palettes. I much prefer palettes to take eye and cheek colors with me everywhere. So for those who also "palettize", you can take this out of the cardboard pot and put into your beloved Stila palettes.

This brow duo is really wonderful and natural-looking. So much better than a pencil! Don't skimp on a good applicator brush - that will make a huge difference. I bought the Stila brush, which has nice bristles and a good angle, and has a brow-taming brush on the other end. The colors of the powders can be a little deceiving so I would recommend asking one of the store consultants what would be best for your brow shade. Having two colors is nice to work with because you could go lighter or darker with shading.

The powder will totally last forever since just a tiny amount is all that you need!

I love this product. I have it in the darkest shade. I fill in my brows with the lighter color and color in with a darker shade. It works great and stays put ALL DAY!!.. The packaging could be better, its cardboard so I try to keep it away from my sink. I love the quality and you can make it light or build up the color to make it darker. LOVE IT!

i bought this stila duo in dark several months ago, i am asian and have black hair and dark brows, this powder is perfect and very easy to use, i use a bobbi brown eyeliner brush to extend my not so perfect brows, and i am very satisfied with the results. i use this product everyday, (cant leave home w/o using it) and ive barely made a dent in it, this will last you a very long time.. the packaging is not that great, it comes in a cardboard case, and sometimes annoying to open. it could be better for the price i paid, ithink around 18$ if i remember correctly, but it will last you forever, i would repurchase but i prob wont be needing to any time in the near future. i recommend!

I purchased this product a month ago and its dark color. I really love it!!! Normally I use prowder brow for my eye brow, this duo brow set is waterpoor, won't smudge and lasting very long. However two colors can mix together as well to create a nice color^^

My first brow powder, and it's soooo long lasting! It's waterproof too and that's amazing! I have light brown brows and the Stila MA gave me the Fair shade but I admit it's too light for me so I use only the dark shade of the brow set, perhaps i needed the Medium so next time I'll buy it again I'll buy the Medium, but this will late since the amount is very big!

I have dark, long, but sparse asian eyebrows that i like to fill in and extend in the slightest. This product is really good in the fact that it matches my brows perfectly. I purchased the dark, which is paired with a light taupe, I dab my mac angled brush on both sides then apply with a light hand. The pigment is rich so you could end up with super defined eyebrows. However, I am able to achieve natural looking brows that last a really long time.

Even though the price is high, packagins is a little difficult to deal with, the quality is very good.

I just look natural and pretty using this; espcially apply it with Stila's eye brow brush. I have never find a better combination.

This is the next brow item I will repurchase.

I love love this brow product. I've used all sorts of brow pencil types in the past but find that a nice brush dipped in a little water with this Stila product is just right. I really like that there are two colors to really blend in the color that you want. No complaints here. I am Asian light complexion with dry skin, sparse eyebrows. I use the Medium. My HG.

UPDATE: 9/19/07
I'm been meaning to update. I have to complain about how poor the packaging is. The cardboard is scratched up, and doesn't really keep the loose powder in because the powder manages to escape and mess up my makeup bag. My powder has cracked and the lighter shade is now useless. It does help a tiny, tiny bit, but really, I just use an old masara brush to brush off excess powder in parts of my brow.

I think the dark powder itself was very good, but Stila needs to change its packaging and just make it one color.

After trying soooo many brow products, I am thankful for this find. I love this stuff! For a long time I was a fan of Benefit's medium browzing, but after they changed the formula into a duo palette, it no longer worked for me. I searched and searched, and Stila's is just wonderful. The powder is fine enough so it blends into your eyebrows without looking powdery. Their rep says it sticks onto your hairs, and although I am hesitant to believe it, the brow product still holds on really well even after a sweaty run at the end of the day. I am constantly amazed by the lasting power of this stuff. I also think the brunette shade is perfect for my medium asian skin tone. My hair is brunette now and the duo works because I can blend the right shade if my hair color changes. The light shade is not too important, but it is useful. The price makes it well worth it for $16 because other brands tend to cost more.

This is absolutely wonderful I hope they never discontinue it. I have sparse hairs on my dark eyebrows and the two colors work together perfectly for my brows (I use the filler/definer #1). My holy grail brow color.
Tip: use the darker color to the line the underside of the brow and the lighter color to fill in the rest.

I've used Benefit Brow-Zings for a long time but was recently looking to try something new. Brow Set in Medium is perfect for me! I have medium to dark borwn hair, and the lighter shade of the duo works best. Super easy to apply with the MAC 266. It doesn't wear off either, even when it's a triple digit nightmare like today!

I've tried Benefit brow zings and much prefer this. It gives me very natural-looking brows and I just love how I can control it using a brush rather than a pencil. I have sparse brows and this baby fills my brows in a very natural way. Will definitely purchase if I run out. Unlike others, I really like the packaging.

I have this in dark. I like how it's ashy, not auburn. I have black hair right now and it's perfect. I can also use this when my hair is lighter as well. The duo is great for mix-and-match. I'm not too pleased with the cardboard packaging tho. They should have better packaging for this price. I hope it doesn't fall apart anytime soon. I'd repurchase.

I have the dark duo and only use the darker shade. It comes on very evenly and does not look harsh. I use MAC 266 angled brush for application. I've wasted so much money finding the right brow product for my sparse eyebrows (because of overplucking). This has become HG status for me!

Of all make-up products I have, I think this is the one that makes the biggst difference to my face! I have sparse brows in some parts, so I have to fill them in. I used a couple of brow pencils already and nothing compares to this product! I have it in "fair" and I use it with Stila #18 brush - it wonderful: makes the most beautiful and natural looking brows!

This in dark was a really good match for me, at a fraction of the cost of Becca's brow powder (which I also really like). However, I have to admit, I don't use the light color, so it seems a bit of a waste. I know I'm supposed to use the light color in one part of my brows and the dark color on the others but I don't spend that much time on my makeup every day! I've found a MAC e/s pan that works perfectly well as a brow powder (in red in it at all) and am perfectly happy with it.
