I use a mini mascara wand to apply the wax, although the brush works well too.

You use the wax sort of like a gel for your brows. It's just like hairspray for your hair, all it does is help your brows hold their shape. Like, I have curly eyebrows (haha), so I use the wax a lot to make my eybrows lay flat.

First, you apply the powder to fill in your brows with either the brush it comes with, or a separate brush. Then, you gently slide the brush over the wax, and lightly apply the wax to your brows to shape them and hold the color.

Just brush the color or color mix you want, then "swish" back and forth in the wax, and then go back to pick up more color if you like, then use the sharp tip of the brush to make strokes that resemble hairs onto your brows. The wax holds the natural brow hair in place and helps to keep the color from the brow box in place as well.

You can use the wax as a sealer over the powder after you have applied the powder to your brows. Or you can use the wax alone. The wax alone will darken your own brows slightly and keep the brow hairs in place and give you a nice, clean look

Use the wax after you put the powder on in order to help smooth the hairs down and move everything into place. You can also use it on areas where you have very little hair and want to apply the powder because it helps the powder stay in place. Simply use the brush included in the kit and brush a small amount of wax over your eyebrow. It will move the hairs with the flow of the brush and keep them in place.

I put the wax on first to shape my eyebrows n then I add the color. I either just use the lighter color alone or blend both colors together, depending on what my plans are.

I run my finger over it, then smooth over my brows. Holds them in place & locks in the color as well.

I use the brush to lightly dab the wax and sculpt my brows before I put on the shadow, it helps keep the pigment stay and also it helps me guide myself on where the pigment is suppose to be. hope this helps!

I apply it with my fingertip and then use the brush to apply the powder over it. I may be doing it wrong, but it always looks great!

I actually wouldn't use the brush for either. It's a little bit too stiff and it is so small that it's hard to get control on it. I would just use your own angled brush.

yes. I use the brush to mold my brows to begin with then I use it to fill in my brows.

I use the brush just for the powder and my finger tips for the wax.

I use it on both color and wax - I always have used it that way.

I just use the brush for the wax...if you multitask with the brush, the coloured powders will get stuck in clumps on the brush and the overall finish won't be as natural as if you use separate brushes.

Is the one bresh used for both color's and the wax????

I think so. I use it on both.

I recommend using a separate brush for the powder and the brush inside the box for the wax. I'm certain you can use the one it comes with for both, but if you prefer more control over the powder, use a brush with a longer handle. Also, you'll keep your wax cleaner!

Yes! I dip in the colors, then into the wax and then back into the color until I get the consistency I like and then use the very sharp brush to make strokes. The wax turns the color of the brow colors, but "so what". It's not like we don't want them to mix together. To me the wax actually adds to the mixability of the two colors.

Yes, I believe it is. I mix the two colors on the brush and then apply it to my brow. I follow up with the wax. The remaining wax on the brush left over from my prior use seems to make the powder go on better. I do wash the brush when it get to loaded down with product.

Definitely after! It is to set your brows in place.

Before, after, whenever! I mix, mix and blend it all together.

After. However, you can rub the brush in the wax and then dip it in the powder before applying.( The powder will go on darker) Then you can apply additional wax on top if you think you need it.

The wax goes on after. It's intended to keep the finished brow in shape once you're done. If you wish to use the included brush for both the powder and the wax, washing the brush after each use is 100% necessary or else the brush will clog and no longer apply the powder as it should.

I know that online it says to put the wax on after the powder to set the arches of ur eyebrows but I actually put the wax on first I feel it just makes more sense that way.

technically you can use it for both but I prefer to use it before. that way the bush doesn't get stained too much with the shadow powder.

I am just as clueless as you are about how to "appropriately" use this product, but what I have found works best for me is to swipe some wax on my brows with my fingertip and then apply the color. That way the powder sticks to my brows and I can clearly see where I need to apply. Right or wrong, if it works for me then I'm sticking with it ;)

The darker set. Unless your brown hair is on the light side, as is mine (brown with honey highlights), in which case I would go for the blonde set.

I'd go with the darker one b/c one of the Sephora associates at the store told me the honey color was more for blondes. The darker one comes with a lighter shade so you can mix the two colors together to customize your perfect shade - that's what I do and I have dark brown hair and same color brows.

I would think brown sugar would be the right match for you.

My skin tone if very yellow and I have naturally very dark hair (although I'm native american and german). Brown Sugar works best for me. It's blendable so you can achieve the color that works best for you. This is a definite must have for brows. It looks so natural and is easy to apply.

The colors seem to vary slightly from the online pictures. At least that was my experience. The lighter kit ran a bit dark for me. I would suggest you go to your local sephora and look at them in person to get the best bet.

I'm Asian too, so you can trust my answer lol. your physical description sounds pretty similar to mine and I use the case assigned for "brunettes" It is the darkest shade they offer, so it's at the very bottom of the list when you open up the web page for this product. hope you enjoy the brow results!

i use the Brown Betty myself. i have caramel-coloured skin with a handful of freckles and my hair is naturally red. i've found that the browns look more natural when my hair is my natural red as well as dyed burgundy or black.

I honestly don't like the brush in this kit at all. It's too small for me to use, and the bristles don't have enough "give" to them.

I like it better than Smashbox - which I had been using for YEARS !! I would always run out of wax before the color would run out - we will see how this holds up in comparison.

For me, the tweezers and brush are too small for everyday use, but that's just my personal preference. You could use them (there's nothing wrong with them) if you don't mind the small size.

I love this product, however I can't compare it to the one you've used before. I will definately purchase this again. The tiny tools work great but the tweezers are almost too little for me to grip so I use my full sized ones for that job. The quality of both tools in this kit are very good and the brush works perfectly for applying the colors.

I haven't used this product yet but am considering it !!!!!

Well, I like Smashbox, but I have only used a couple of their products. I really love the Urban Decay brow box. I think it is a good value. The brush and tweezers are good quality. The brush is really soft. I just wish the brush was maybe a little stiffer, but I still think it's great quality and I would definitely recommend it. :-)

I've tried both and they're really about the same , If they made me choose, I'd pick the UD one just because the case is cute hahaha!

Heads and shoulders above Benefit's kit. UD's colors last me all day long and looks much more natural. The last time I used the Benefit kit, it disappeared almost immediately.

The Urban Decay model is about the same size, but only has one application brush, where Benefit's case has two (one brush that is two-sided). The tweezer set in the Benefit box is of better quality - the quality of the UB set is made of those very sharp-on-the-end tweezers that snip hair off or cut/pinch at you instead of working. It is very easy to use the Benefit mini-tweezers, and you can do a quick check and find the strays quickly and discreetly while you are out, socially. What I DO like about the UD brow kit is that they offer two shades of powder, which makes it far easier to accomplish a softer/more realistic brow. I purchased the medium brown of Benefit's line, having nearly black eyebrows, and when I apply the powder, and then the PIGMENTED wax, my brows look dark and almost harsh. Urban Decay manages to allow you a more subtle, real, clean look - just make sure you take care of your stray hairs in a separate grooming session.

If you've never used a brow grooming kit before, I would go for the UD model, because it makes it easier to find your correct shade through experimenting. Benefit's box can be slightly less expensive, and the box is easier to use and less bulky (and the tweezer works better), but if you end up with cartoonish eyebrows, what does it matter what the case looks like?

I used the benefit kit once I borrowed it from my sister n it was alright. I like the urban decay kit better cause it doesn't feel as cackey. I like the fact that the wax on the urban decay kit is clear its easier to shape out ur eyebrows without worrying about going outside the lines. it makes adding the color easier.

No, it's not but "brown sugar" is quite similar. if you have dark brown or black hair, definately try it out.

I will check my local Sephora as well as the link provided. Thank you so much for your help; it is much appreciated.

No, Sephora only provides "Honey Pot" which is for blondes and "Brown Sugar" which is for Brunettes.

Well, I just tried the UD brow box and hated it and then went to Sephora at JCPenneys to get the Anastasia brow pen in Universal Light because I have brown eyes and colored my hair platinum blonde. The first time I used the brow pen it worked well because I over tweeze all the time lol so I thought this would work. The next few times the Anastasia brow pen didn't work for sparse brows which I couldn't believe I spent over 22.00 for that. I don't know about her kits but she has really good reviews on them. Right now I am using Lancome Maccachino eyeshadow as a brow powder with Sephora's angle brush which makes a taupe look and natural finish! I hope that helps. You can read my UD review on the brow box on here....

Urban Decay is a much better color match than Anastasia

I would recommend the lighter version of this kit. If you apply wax across the entire brow, then combine the shadows and blend them, I think should fill in pretty well. You might also want to consider having your natural brows tinted. It's not terribly expensive, and would help with your white hairs. Good luck!

I would suggest going to a Sephora store and trying both colors. The great part about this set is it applies like a breeze. I have a little gap on one brow and it really makes the differnce. But with a lot of gray, I'm not too sure on the color choice. I would presume the lightest would work best, but you don't want to look fake. You may consider dying the brows... I don't know. Good luck!

I'm a dark brunette with olive skin and I think Brown Sugar is best! The lighter shade will probably be perfect for you in the palette!
