![]() The handle is a nice length for easy control. ![]() I just dip my Benefit brush into that small amount and slowly fill in my brows, working in small short dashes. The shade 10 is actually a pretty good one for me. ![]() I chose this one because the one described as Light Blonde (15) seemed really warm from the photo and I figured 25 would probably be too dark considering it was the darkest one.Īll you need is just a tiny little squeeze per brow. So after maybe 30 minutes of going back and forth between the three shades, I settled on the lightest which is 10. But I don’t like them pale, I like them medium/dark and ashy, even with super pale blonde hair. I like my brows cool-toned with NO warmth in them at all. I was totally unsure as to what shade might work for me judging just from the website photos. I’ve never seen anything quite like it and I was really hesitant to purchase any.Īqua Brow 10 with Benefit Hard Angle/Definer Brush So what is this stuff? It’s a gel-based, smudge-proof brow color that comes in a tube. My life, sigh.Īqua Brow comes in three shades on the Sephora website: 10 (Light Blonde), 15 (Blonde) and 25 (Ash). Oh and of course the good one is the one hidden under my bangs 99.9% of the time. Sadly this never happens because I have one good arched brow and one more straight that somehow REFUSES to arch. I am always looking for the latest and greatest eyebrow product to somehow make my brows look completely perfect, even, arched and amazing. It can last from 8 to 12 hours, depending on how you set it.Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow is something I hadn’t heard of until I was looking to spend money with my VIB discount recently. Powder and cream products work perfectly fine over the foundation as well, so you won’t have a hard time trying to do your daily face. You can always set these areas with more powder and it wouldn’t look cakey. I did feel a slight tackiness on the less-powdered areas like the jaw, but it didn’t come off nor stain my light-colored clothing. The resulting texture is a healthy and smooth-looking face, so I would wear this when I need to make a good first impression, have an important meeting, or maybe need a confidence boost. Of course the coverage is buildable, but I found that there wasn’t a need to do so with what I had and for this purpose. One pump is enough for my whole face, and it’s never overwhelming, heavy, or cakey - great for the office, especially when you set it with powder. This foundation is perfect for everyday makeup. It does get brownie points for making me look good without any other color cosmetics needed, though! It also has less slip than other luminous foundations, and this produces more of a healthy sheen than actual luminosity. #Anastasia aqua swatch skinOther foundations such as the Marc Jacobs Shameless or Glossier Skin Tint work better in this regard. ![]() Unfortunately, not setting doesn’t work for me as I oiled up by the 3-hour mark. The Anastasia website says that there’s no need to set the foundation with powder, so I tried it for a lazy day routine. #Anastasia aqua swatch fullThe coverage is buildable but correctly dubbed medium, perfect for those of us who don’t want a full mask of foundation. This sort of formulation, medium coverage and texture-improving, is what I prefer over skin-like formulas that don’t offer improvements. What I love about the Luminous Foundation is how it creates a smooth look even without a primer - you just look healthy and “perfected” without looking greasy, with and without powder. Generally, the foundation spreads and blends easily works well with any tool, be it fingers, brushes, or sponges and over multiple bases, from mattifying to luminous primers. In any case, it disappears almost totally when blended on my medium skin. I suppose they mean it’s cool, leaning warm without it totally being neutral. This is kind of confusing since ‘cool’ and ‘gold’ aren’t two descriptions that go together. I matched well with 332C, which is Medium skin with a cool golden undertone. Sephora PH has all 50 shades while Beauty Bar has 21 that you can swatch. There are a total of 50 shades in five shade categories (Fair, Light, Medium, Tan, Deep) and three undertones (Cool, Warm, Neutral), from 100N to 590C. It’s close to the L’Oreal Infallible Glow or Fresh Wear in terms of consistency. The liquid isn’t too runny for something that’s billed as ‘luminous’ (Becca’s Aqua Luminous, MAC’s and MUFE’s Face and Body, and similar options feel almost like water compared to this) but isn’t too dense either. 30mL of the Luminous Foundation is housed in a rectangular glass bottle with a pump. ![]()
