Rimmel Brow Shake Filling Powder

There is definitely a brow thing going on right now with highstreet brands and Rimmel, who have already released some new products which I reviewed here have added some more products to their collection with the Rimmel Brow Shake Filling Powders.

Described as being "Long lasting, ultra soft brow filling powder that doubles up as an eyeliner for an impactful eye look. Line, define and fill for a WOW brow" these powders are available in 4 shades - Light Brown, Medium Brown, Dark Brown and Soft Black and they retail for £5.99 each (though currently on offer in both Boots and Superdrug).

The Rimmel Brow Shake Filling Powder is not quite like any other brow products I have comes across.  Firstly it is packaged within a pot and it features a long conical shaped lid so it is easy to grasp and hold and secondly it is a loose powder, something I have used from a pot rather than a tube. 

When it comes to using, the very first thing you need to do is to shake the entire tube for a few seconds before you would use it and as you shake it, you get a clicking sound. The shaking of the tube allows the loose powder to cling to the sponge applicator, again something I have never used before.  Once it has been shaken there should now be enough product on the sponge applicator, something I expected to really dislike but actually I do like it and find it incredibly easy to use but and yes there are two, because of the way you apply the powder to your brows, you aren't able to create hair like strokes as you might do with your pencil or wax and it did take some getting used too and secondly it is a loose powder so there is some fall out, admittedly not as much as I had expected and tapping the brush before using also helps.

The powder in the tube is not only loose powder but it is also really pigmented giving quite an intense colour which is designed to last all day and night. Once on the brow the colour does not budge or smudge and as the formula is waterproof, so you will need to use makeup remover to remove it.

My brows are pretty rubbish, after years of over plucking, I am not blessed with thick bushy brows, but they are very slowly growing back and I have to work with what I have got. I do use brow products from Benefit so with these four shades I am somewhere between the light and medium brown shades and I hope there will be some more shades added to the range.

Overall I do like the brow powder. It is easy to use, easy to apply, is great for brow filling and it definitely does not budge wants applied, which is pretty impressive and all for just £5.99.

Have you tried these Brow Powders from Rimmel?
