Bought From: Free
Other Locations: Available in the following Estēe Lauder counters: Essence Powerplant Mall, Rustan's Shangti-La Mall; Rustan's Makati

THE VERDICT:

As early as now, my Boracay makeup kit is already packed. It's been two years since I last visited this place and I couldn't wait to go back! I brought mostly versatile stuff like a waterproof foundation that can be used on land and in the water, lip and cheek tint, glossy lip balm with SPF (protection + shine), and this baby: Estēe Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Brow Lift Duo because it has a brow shaper/definer on one end and highlighter on the other that I can use to define highlight my brows or as an eyeshadow!

Estēe Lauder said that this brow pencil was designed to be two times smaller than regular brow pencils for a super natural look and to let you create hair-like strokes. It claims to stay put for up to 12 hours and comes in 4 colors.
More about this current favorite brow definer of mine after the cut!
Here's the highlighter. Shade is said to be universal for all skin tones, and if you've noticed, it looks a lil' frosted in the photo. The shimmers are so minute that they go on invisible on the skin, but brighten up my lids effectively. I apply it on my brow bone to hide stray hair strands or to define its shape and I also use it as an eyeshadow by smearing it on my lower lids and blending with a finger.
Here's the brow definer. Both pencils have a really tiny diameter that they can fit any brow shape! The pencils are secured well in the base and they don't wobble around, but don't twist 'em up all the way or else, they'll snap!

Soft Brown is a muted dark brown with a hint of red, which is perfect for my hair color and the safest shade for girls with thick brows because it gives subtle definition. It yields very light coverage, but you can build it up. I also noticed that even with heavy hands, I can still achieve a very natural- looking coverage with it.

Compared to the other brow defining products I own, this one creates really thin lines!
Love how almost hair-like this product appears on my brows, plus texture is not sticky and so easy to spread-you won't have to deal with clumpy brows!
Applied the highlighter on top of my arch and brow bone in here.
I use it during workouts and swimming and it didn't budge-this goes to show that it is superbly long-wearing. If you have tried any of the Double Wear products, you'll realize that this line has some of the longest- wearing makeup products around. Price is a bit steep though, but overall, I'm happy with this product-it's great for days when my hands are unusually heavy and lazy to do makeup lol!

    If I remember correctly, this is included in the 5 awesome waterproof brow products post. If I would allow myself to splurge on a brow product this might be one of the must buy on my list. Maybe it's just my eyes but the highlighter is barely there but the effect is just enough to be noticeable.

    I went to a plastic surgeon because I had one eye that was slightly droopy and thought a bleph for that eye would raise it enough to look better. The surgeon said that what I probably needed was a brow lift along with the bleph.
