Soft Black Eyebrow Powder – Long-Lasting, Waterproof, Smudge-Proof Brow Powder for Natural, Defined Brows – Vegan & Cruelty-Free Eyebrow Makeup by Marie-José

I too bought this when Clinique quit offering their brow shaper products. Grateful to report that this is very comparable to the Clinique line if you were using the charcoal color. May be just a touch lighter which I prefer- I was often mixing charcoal with another lighter shade to avoid brows looking too dark. But with this product color as applied is great look for silver or gray hair. Stays well during the day. Only negative is does not come with applicator brush but I have a number of those from old Clinique products.

I'm blonde. I'm not talking wheat blonde or caramel blonde or golden blonde, I'm talking /white enough to be albino/ blonde. The hair on my head is white. The hair on my body is white. My eyelashes and eyebrows are, predictably, white. When I don't fill in my eyebrows (which are actually really thick), it looks like I don't have eyebrows at all. Some people can get away with that. I can't. I am doubly unfortunate to have a ghost-white complexion with pink, pink, PINK undertones. Nothing better than invisible eyebrows in a beet-red face, right? I have a ridiculously difficult time finding brow products that that /don't/ look orange against my skin when applied; pencils and powders designed for "blondes" are always either too warm or too dark for me. Sometimes both. This is the first thing I've ever used that actually looks right! The powder is a scary shade of grey, but when I brush it on, it's perfect: not too warm, not too cool, very natural. If you're someone who wants super duper bold eyebrows, this is not the product for you. However, if you're like me and want your eyebrows to be visible (in a soft, "I could have grown these" sorta' way), I would recommend this to the max! As far as longevity goes...? By itself, it doesn't last long. I'm oily-skinned and I've got a boyfriend who likes to wrestle and hug in the worst possible ways for makeup (my face gets squished to his chest or the bed or the carpet a lot, haha; that's what I get for loving a super physically affectionate martial-artist <3), but for someone who has dry-skin and DOESN'T smoosh their faces to things, I'd imagine it lasts just fine. I just slick a clear mascara overtop the powder when I'm finished applying, let that dry, and BAM, I've got brows that'll stay on all day without moving. Mostly.

I read all the reviews for this color (soft charcoal) and this product before settling on this color. My skin is fair and my hair is now white. My eyebrows have always been very blonde but the tint was an ash blonde & white blonde mix, never brown (what was called dishwater). I HATE, loathe and despise most eyebrow colors because no matter what they say, they always have some red in them (or too much brown) for the blonde color. I started to go for the ash blonde but took a chance on this one first. I LOVE IT. It is a very light greyish tint that is almost a bit taupe and it is perfect. NO red. NO orange. NO brown. Not too much grey that it doesn't match my skin tone. Exactly what I wanted. I can go darker if I want but one swipe gives me the color I need (I also use it with an eyebrow wax). The brush works great for me but I have an eyebrow set that I purchased from Amazon that works great Real Techniques Cruelty Free Brow Set, Includes: Brow Scissors, Angled Tweezers, Brow Brush, Brow Spoolie, Brow Highlighting Brush, and Case . I may try the ash blonde some other time because this is a great product and I'm curious!

I love this color, at first it looked not that dark, but when i put it on my eyebrow it looked very good, it doesn’t come off easily…. if your not you ch ing it, but it you wipe or touch it with anything and drag it , yes it will come off, good purchase, I would’ve liked it a little darker

Putty- (+ 2nd color tried- Soft Charcoal; See end of review). This is for Putty: Seller advises (paraphrased): "ASH BLOND COLOR: For those w/ barely there brows, adds just a hint of color; Color payout is too weak to create Brow extensions. Rather, it will (only) add volume naturally and very lightly." My review: True that !!! Putty color is a ghost, it doesn't work at all to extend bald Brow-tails. Marie-Jose Cosmetics Eyebrow Powder is absolutely EXQUISITE- A finely-milled, silken powder; Vastly superior / Luxury Brow Powder cosmetic w/ blend-able, natural-looking texture- Literally seeks & finds each microscopic, individual skin-pore, & settles in, effectively duplicating the illusion of thicker, natural, individual hairs! Powder is SO silken-soft, that it won't adhere to squeaky- clean face & Brows- Whisper - slips right off face; Requires a Brow wax & quality brush to apply so that it will adhere onto brows & skin. I tried this, & it darkened the powder (not enough, though), & it blended / adhered perfectly! May suit palest of lightest blondes, when applied w/ brow wax. ( I'll need a darker shade.) Color Putty seems customized for palest of light blondes only, perhaps w/ seemingly bald-Brows, whom might prefer a very natural, barely-there, slightest possible Brow enhancement. No orange whatsoever (Yay!) So, why my 5-Star rating? Although Putty shade is far too pale for my dark blonde / light brown hair w/o pale Caucasian complexion, Marie-Jose Cosmetics offers an exquisite, world-class, finely milled Brow powder, elegantly packaged (sleek black pot), generously sized, equal or superior to the world's finest - milled Brow powders! (ie, equal / better than: Chanel Cosmetics, any/all "Top Hollywood Brow brands" ie/ Anastasia, MAC, Urban Decay, Per-Fekt, MUF, Benefit, Tarte, DiorShow, Clinique, etc.) I looove that it's a pressed powder, too; Which allows Brow brush to pick-up concentrated product & apply densely w/precision; While simultaneously preventing loose / excess Powder product loss. Seriously, this Powder is gossamer wing / whisper-fine / silken smooth :b This line offers several ash shades (no orange). While some Brow powders go on darker than they appear in package, others, like this brand, apply rather lighter than expected- Until used w/ brow wax. This powder is the perfect consistency- Color-saturated enough, but not too intense- Just right for super-fast, easy application, & blend-able, buildable color that stays put, when applied properly- Meaning it needs something to adhere to- Such as a base, gel, oil, wax, or even just a simple moisturizer on Brows! (My trick: I use w/ Burt's Beeswax lip balm / chapstick). The brush that comes with? Useless. Toss it. As with all fine Brow Powders, the process, speed, ease of application, & quality of final result achieved, depends upon the quality of the Brow brush used. Excellent Brow brushes can be readily purchased (and replaced often), for under $2-$3! It's absolutely essential to have & use a quality brush w/ this Powder. Don't even count the silly mini-brush that comes with. It's far too thick to allow for any precision application, & you'll look like a toddler who's gotten into Mommy's make-up. Tip- Apply ~ 25% heavier than desired, then swish your face brush / face powder the wrong way / opposite direction of growth (!) into brows (which will soften the color & blur any too-sharp edges), then finish with a smooth swish in the proper direction to set your Eye Brows for all-day wear that will astonish! Summary- Putty Color is far too pale; I'm trying darker color next. Exquisite quality, silken-smooth milled Brow Powder with just-right color saturation; Generously sized, long-lasting, and elegantly packaged. Cost is nothing- Inconsequential, given luxuriant quality & amount of Powder you receive- Will last maybe an entire year! (Other Fine Brow Powders sell for $30 & upwards, provide much less useable product). Seller graciously accepted my return; (I had purchased 2 in too-pale shade Putty; A barely-there Ash Blonde). Alternate shade Charcoal seems universally popular for a naturally defined Brow- I'm there next ! I'll post a photo of Charcoal upon receipt. Meanwhile, BEST BROWS to all !!! Update: I now have color "Soft Charcoal": Same silken-milled powder, a light black. FAR too black for my hair & skin - tone, no matter how delicately I try to apply. I'll probably just keep it to use as a soft black eyeliner, w/ a wet eyeliner brush (vs. Tossing it).

Edit*** I’ve been using this for a few months and it seems like it’s turned reddish toned. There are also white specks in it that weren’t there before and I don’t know what they are. It’s like I got through the top layer and there they were . What are they? I guess I’m still on the look out for the perfect cool toned brow powder. I have spent a tonne of money trying to find a cool blonde brow powder colour. Even the shades that say cool are not. They are either too dark, too warm (reddish tone), or barely noticeable. At this stage, to not have a cool toned brow powder made by any cosmetic company is ridiculous! I’ve tried various shades of Anastasia, Benefit, NYX had a great Ash Brown powder, then they discontinued it. So I saw this in my ever on going search for something to fill in my barely there blonde brows. I’ve never heard of this company, but saw the good reviews and thought I’d try it. I got the “Dark Blonde brow kit” and it’s the perfect cool blonde shade. You don’t need much to dip your brush and place it where you need. I use a thicker brush at first, then the angled brush it comes with to fill in sparse parts of my brow! Love it! Finally!!!

I previously purchased the Blonde powder. It was out of stock for I got the Ash Blonde. Great Color and looks more natural than the Blonde. Love using a powder as it is much softer looking than an eyebrow pencil.

It goes on easily with a small brush (not included). No directions came along so I didn't know if I was to wet the brush and didn't. It looks much larger in the online picture than it really is--about the size of a US nickel, though the box is larger. It provides a natural look and stays on all day.

Ya lo conocía por pedidos anteriores. Para mí, muy bien.

I bought this product to "top-up" my microblading and to give a slightly darker finish when I want it. It came with a small, fine, angled brush which is easy to use and is presise. My eyebrows are light brown and this just gave a slightly darker look for when I wanted it. It was quite expensive, but a good product and finish and I would buy again. The small pot will last ages!

Very nice product and easy to apply!

Effet très naturel, facile à appliquer, meilleur rendu qu'un crayon. Petit pinceau pratique pour application. Très satisfaite de mon achat. Faire attention à choisir la bonne couleur !

very good
