1. Chanel Le Sourcil De Chanel Perfect Brows Kit
Let’s start off with my favourite-favourite brow product of them all!
There is no mistaking that Chanel make some of the very best makeup products in the world. One of these has got to be their Perfect Brows Kit. The kit comes in two variations; Natural and Brun.
It’s unlike any other brow product I’ve come across, and it contains every single thing you need for perfect brows – right down to the tweezers and brushes!.
For my brows I used BRUN, ideal for brunettes and dark haired girls. The all-in-one compact kit is ideal for grooming, defining, shaping and maintaining perfect brows! Inside you’ll find three highly pigmented shades, a small and extremely dense applicator brush, a larger bristle brush for grooming and a magnifying mirror, which lets you see every detail of your brow. Chanel really have thought of everything!
It’s not only the colours and formula of the actual product that make it so amazing. I found that the tools in this kit are also really high quality and perfect for the job at hand. A lot of cosmetics tend to have less than average applicators that are sold with a product, but the ones that come with the Chanel Brow Kit are just as high quality as the ones used by professionals. The only difference is that they are smaller and more compact versions.
The tweezers are surprisingly very, very good! When I first saw them I didn’t think they would do much, as they are not at all sharp and have rounded tips. Well, I was very impressed at how they grip. Every hair I tackled came out instantly the first time around, and because of the rounded edges, there was no painful accidental skin gripping!
The applicator brush has very stiff, dense hairs and is angled to help you define your brows. My brows are quite full, so I found it easy to just trace over them with this brush. The second brush in the kit has more bristles and is much softer – ideal for brushing over your brows when you’re done, or to shape them into place before you start.
As far as the actual shadow goes… all I can say is, AMAZING! I use mostly the first and second colours in the kit, because I don’t like my brows too “Kim-Kardashian” and the third colour in the palette, for me, makes them a little too dark. The texture is super, super soft with an almost waxy feel. Even though the shadows are highly pigmented, there is very little fallout and enough colour is packed onto the brush. If you feel these shadows, they are completely different to eye shadow formulas and are a lot lighter when applied, than they seem in the kit.
Yes, this kit is a little pricey, but far superior to any others, or at least, any others I’ve ever used. I would however recommend, that you go into a Chanel counter and test out the product instead of buying it straight away. Because all of us have different brow colours, you still need to make sure that these are right ones for you. Bear in mind that you can also mix up the colours to get your ideal shade, but a knowledgeable consultant will know exactly what you need.
