Keeping with the many brow-related blog posts you've seen here, I have yet another brow product post for you today! In this post I am showing you the Anastasia Brow Powder Duo, which I have in the shade Medium Brown. I like to use this in combination with other brow products; not the biggest fan of using it on its own just because I do have such sparse brows, but check out my full review after the pics to see all my thoughts!

My Review...
I have been a brow powder lover through and through; it was my go-to brow filler choice for oh so many years (Smashbox Brow Tech in Brunette was my first ever brow product - and that was almost 13 years ago). Yet I had somehow neglected to try the Anastasia Brow Powder Duo. When I purchased the Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade, I also purchased the Brow Powder Duo.
I have the shade Medium Brown - since that is what shade I am in her line (formally Medium Ash). Medium Brown is described as a taupe based brown. I also think Ash Brown would work for me - but Sephora, for whatever reason, doesn't have that shade on their website (and that's where I had purchased this from). I think it may even work better for me than the Medium Brown.
The Medium Brown has a darker shade that is the shade I use most, as the lighter shade is almost so light it doesn't show up on me. But I use it blended with the darker shade.
I don't like using this on its own to fill in my brows completely; I find this brow powder is just a bit too soft looking. Because my brows are so sparse, if I were to use this all over on its own, it would look very soft and diffused on me - and kind of messy and not really pulled together; which you can probably see in the before and after photo. In person it's not as noticeable as in the photo, since my studio lights show every single detail possible.
I do love this powder in combination with other brow products. I use this along with the Brow Wiz or the Brow Pomade and I get really great results.
It's a pricey brow powder for one that I can't use for all-over my brows, but that's not to say you can't use it for your brows as your all-in-one brow product. A lot will depend on your brows and how sparse or full they are. I just prefer a more pigmented brow powder that can give me a defined look as well as a softer look where I want it to be softer.
As far as performance goes, this isn't the best wearing product on my brows. I know it says it's formulated to be smudge proof, but I find it can wear off faster than her other brow products. Maybe on your brows it would wear longer, but for me when I use this on its own I don't get the best wear. It starts looking softer and softer as the day goes on. It doesn't pass my cuddle test either. But when I pair it with other brow products, which is the only way I like to even use this, I find it wears fine.
I'm not sure I would repurchase this, but I do like it and will continue to use it!
