Designed to be a one-stop-shop for shaped, filled and defined brows, this palette includes two powder shades, highlighter powder, a dual-ended slanted brush and a dual-ended highlighter brush and wand. Also included is a built-in mirror for touch-ups on the go. The palette has two colour options: light/medium and medium/dark.
GHI expert verdict
This was the panel’s top-rated kit in the 2020 test. It provided all the right tools in one compact palette and was still very simple to use. Those using a brow kit for the first time appreciated that the brushes were labelled with the order to use them in. Our testers gave the powder full marks for thoroughly defining the brows without being too dense. The makeup artist found the colour easy to blend for a more natural finishing look. It also received a four out of five for lasting all day without smudging or dissolving.

We disliked
- A few found the compact a little difficult to open

How we test
We recruited 320 testers to help us test 22 different eyebrow products across two weeks. They gave feedback on each product's colour transfer, ease of application, longevity and final finish look. We also invited a makeup artist to assess the products for attributes such as pay off (transfer of product to the skin), hold and smudge resistance.
