Not for me

I have very sparse brows so need a pigmented brow product with superior fill in and staying power. I currently use Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade, Gel and Brow Wiz pencils but am always looking for new products.

Also, I was looking for a less time intensive eyebrow routine and had high hopes for this all in one brow product due to the glowing reviews. Sorry to say I was greatly disappointed. The pencil is too waxy and so the more product I applied the less natural the texture looked. Also, the pigment was so faint it took multiple tries to build up my eyebrows which only added to the problem. The clear gel didn't work well either as once I decided my brows were as full as I could make them it only served to remove the waxy pencil in spots. All in all it was a disaster.

Perhaps, if you are someone blessed with full eyebrows that require only a few fill-in areas this product will work for you. But it didn't work for me. So back to my Anastasia which after testing numerous other brands still stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Perfection

Have to agree with countless other users. Love this finishing powder. It goes on flawlessly leaving no flashback. I love the matte finish and that it is so lightweight. Never feels cakey or like a mask. I'm a long time user of Laura Mercier Translucent Powder but it's quite pricey. RCMA is so inexpensive and does just as good if not better if a job. It's my new go-to finishing powder!

Thank you Wayne Goss and Beautylish

Another great recommendation by Wayne Goss. I’ve tried countless primers and have had them all either shorten the lifespan of my foundation or look artificial and literally pill on my face. Ordinary works perfectly for me. I am 60+ and so need a primer to even out my complexion and present a smooth canvas for my liquid foundation. Ordinary does it and even extends the time between touchups. If I want a little glow for special occasions I add Becca Backlight Priming Filter and mix a small amount with my IT CC Cream or Dior Airflash foundation. For a dewey glow I add a few drops of Bio-Oil or another facial oil to that mixture and sponge it lightly over my Ordinary primer. The look is fresh and youthful. I have received so many compliments on my flawless complexion and ppl tell me I look 20 years younger than my age! And the value can’t be beat. I am amazed at the difference using Ordinary primer with my routine and will never be without it again.
