HD Brows Eye and Brow Palette

I've become a little obsessed with eyebrows, I am forever comparing one person's to the next looking at how people's are shaped and the difference it makes to someone's face. I think I have brow envy about 5/6 times a day. My brow's are nothing special, I don't love them but yet I don't hate them, I appreciate that my natural shape is good so therefore don't want to ruin that by changing them radically.

A month or so ago now I went and to a local salon to try out the HD Brows technique, if you haven't read my post on my experience then feel free to here, I think it's safe to say I wasn't that thrilled with it but I've always loved how everyone else's have turned out. I was contacted by a lovely lady who asked if I would like to try the new brow palette, I was really intrigued as to whether just by filling in my brows I could get the desired effect I was after.



The first point to make about this palette is that the colours can be used either to define your brows or as eye shadows, I love this. Because the colours are right up my street anyway the idea of carrying this around in my handbag (it's not very big/bulky) and it being multi tasking is a massive bonus. There is also an applicator and a mirror for on the go touch up's.

The palette comes in three colours, Bombshell (for blondes), Foxy (for brunettes) and Vamp (for dark hair), I've got Vamp as although I have brown hair it is currently very dark, teetering on black.


The Vamp palette contains four shades, a nude, a carbon shadow and two dark brown shadows. Nude is a great highlighter for under the brow bone and I've found the bottom left shade below is a great match for my hair. Now, I am by no mean's an expert. I have never filled my brows in before as I was always scared I would have brows that some how made me look like one of the Gallagher brothers but I was definitely intrigued by HD Brow's new eye and brow palette and gave it a whirl. I am so surprised at how easy this product is to use, my brows instantly look better filled in and my face has more definition to it, I also rubbed and rubbed my brows and the colour didn't budge, bonus! I absolutely love it, Vamp is perhaps a little too dark and Foxy may be better suited to my hair colour but considering how much I love this product I'll be purchasing Foxy and experimenting til I can get that perfect eyebrow shade. I never keep my hair one colour for long so having both will definitely suit me better.

I know the colours look a bit scary but it's very buildable, you can choose to have a gentle not so in your face brow or really go all out.

The HD Brows eye and brow palette is available to buy online from www.hd-brows.co.uk or over the phone on 0845 644 3994 (ext 32) and retails at £19.95.

  1. I really like my HD brow palette. I think the colours are a tad dark but they are really easy to apply with the brush they give you. Good review.
