AMW Reviews: K-Palette Real Lasting Eyebrow Mascaras


Seldom can I find eyebrow mascara in light colored shades!  Long time readers would know I get my light colored brow mascaras either in Hong Kong or Singapore.  Thankfully, now that I have a baby, meaning, and lesser travel for the coming years, at least, I don't have to worry about restocking my favorite light colored mascaras for myself and for clients who like to lighten their hair as K-Palette Real Lasting Eyebrow Mascara is finally here!

And yes, thank goodness they brought in Light Brown (the shade I find most difficult to purchase locally) and Natural Brown, which is a perfect shade for girls who colored their hair medium brown.


On the exterior, it looks exactly like the rest of the eyebrow mascaras I've purchased through the years!


But don't judge the exterior as this one from K-Palette has one of the most unique "brush" I've seen so far!  The brush applicator looks just like a shower head and this is said to help apply the mascara onto each eyebrow strand without smearing to your skin!  


Seriously, I lost track reading the description as I got super excited with this unique "brush head" I tested it out IMMEDIATELY!

Pros
  • Love the unique brush head, it is definitely easier to apply and cover all the eyebrow hair as compared to the regular mascara wand.
  • The formulation is indeed long-lasting.  
  • Can be easily removed with regular facial wash.
  • Pigmentation of the brow gel is really good as it changes the color of my brow hair without much effort.
  • Price, almost the same price in Japan!

Cons
  • The effect could be unnatural if you picked the wrong shade.
Neutral
  • An additional reddish shade would be perfect for girls with reddish hair.
Overall
Water resistant eyebrow mascara that helps change the color of your brows almost immediately!  This indeed last the whole day (until makeup removal) yet it is very easy to remove with regular facial wash.

Tips
  • Follow my application technique (in photos) below.
  • If you have very light colored hair, go for 101 Light Brown.
  • If you have medium to dark brown hair, go for 102 Natural Brown.
  • If you find the color seems unnatural on your brows, follow up with an eyebrow powder or pencil to define your brows.
  • I prefer to use the powder side of K-Palette Lasting 2-Way Eyebrow.  By the way, they have better formulation and included a limited edition Grayish Brown Shade. (finally!)


Will I repurchase?
Yes!

To whom do I recommend this to?
Girls with color-treated hair!  Come on, it's really time to change the color of your brows!  I am tired of light brown hair + black brows combination! :P

Where to purchase and how much?
Available at Beauty Bar and Rustan's The Beauty Source (Makati and Shangri-la) priced at Php595.00 (approx $14.15).

AMW Application Style
Always start by applying the eyebrow mascara "against" the direction of the hair growth to make sure you "coat" each brow hair with brow mascara.

With the same light-hand motion, brush your brows on the direction of the growth of brow hairs as shown on photo below.  This will not only coat your brow hair with brow mascara but you also get to "fix" your brows making it look clean and made-up.

Keep in mind not to apply close to your skin, be consistent with your light-hand strokes.
 

Do not forget to re-apply brow mascara on the inner corner with an upward motion (same as the direction of hair growth).


Before and After Photos
Keep in mind I only used K-Palette Real Lasting Eyebrow Mascara so my lashes look sparse and uneven.  It is best to follow up with an eyebrow powder or pencil to help define and fill-in the blank spots!  This is very important especially if you're lightening your brows.

Shade: 101 Light Brown
This shade is perfect for users with light brown hair!

Shade 102: Natural Brown
This is the perfect shade for me!
