For awhile now I have been on the hunt for a good brow powder that wasn’t warm, but not too light either. I keep trying out various brands but all the medium-toned powders weren’t ashy enough for my taste. I really dislike warmth in my hair or brows, it just clashes with my skin tone.

So while at Sephora not too long ago I was checking out the Anastasia line, since she’s known for her brow products, and saw the Powder Duo sets. They come in six different sets:

• Ash Blonde – Cool Taupe
• Gold Blonde – Warm gold
• Strawburn – Reddish blonde
• Medium Ash – Taupe based brown
• Brunette – Dark warm brown
• Ebony – Deep neutral brown

Each compact contains two coordinating shades, one lighter one darker. You can use them individually or blend them together. I decide that Medium Ash looked about right for what I was looking for.

These come in two shades (Aspen and St. Tropez) and contain light diffusing pigments which help you glow!

It contains everything you would need to keep your brows in shape at home or on the go!

• Brow wax
• Eye shadow duo
• Two different brow powders
• 5 brow stencils

The only thing I can think of that this kit might be missing is a tiny pair of tweezers, but really it’s pretty all inclusive. The kit comes in both a Blonde and Brunette color choice. The one I used here is the Brunette kit and even though I am fair and blond, it worked out for me (I prefer my brows a little darker).
