Beauty Tip: "Apply baked brow powder (wet or dry) with a brush following the natural shape of your brow. Apply highlighting powder with any eyeshadow crease brush along the brow bone to create a higher arch" - Anastasia.net
I absolutely love this kit! The brow powders are so soft and give such a natural appearance. I really like the way it makes my brows look. I've tried several brow powders and many of them apply too heavy and then I end up having to go over them with Q-tips to soften the color.. but that didn't happen with this powder for me. I would recommend this if you like your eye brows to look natural and especially if your brows are very light and you'd like to darken and define them. I use actually all of the shades and they work for me. I've been applying the brow powder with my MAC 266 brush and the colors I've been using is the darkest one with a touch of the lightest one (since I have golden tones in my hair). You can also dip your brush in water and apply the powder for a less soft/more defined look. I usually use the brush very slightly damp so i can define the outline of my brows. I finish with the brow gel to keep my brows in place.

Anastasia Brow Powders have a rating of 4.5/5 with an 82% re-purchase rate based on 134 reviews. Click here to view the reviews.
As for the highlighting trio.. I love these. These are my type of eye shadow shades. When it comes to shimmery shadows.. it depends solely on preference. You either love them or hate them. I personally really like shimmery shadows.. especially golds. These are very pigmented applied wet or dry. I usually use them dry.. I like using the white color as a highlight in the corner of my eyes and I like to gently tap on the color and tap it on my brow bone to add a little dimension. My favorite of the three colors is the gold. I've been sweeping a light dusting of it on my eyelids most days out of the week.
