The Maybelline New York Fashion Brow 3D Brow & Nose Palette comes in a plastic packaging with a windowed cover so you can see what the colors are on first sight. The name is a mouthful, so from this point onward I'll just refer to it as the MNY Fashion Brow Palette. :)

I reckon that the packaging is not too sturdy so I try to be extra careful when handling it because I don't want to break it. It's pretty small by the way: about two and a half inches in length and 1 3/4 inches in width. According to the label at the back, it contains 3 grams of product in total, so that's 1 gram per pan. The palette also includes a double ended brush: one side is slanted for applying the wax powder and the other side is a blur brush for applying the filling and sculpting powders.

Ingredients

At the back  of the palette is the list of ingredients. I don't spot any parabens but there's a phenoxyethanol and a bht. The back label also contains other details such as the manufacturing date. At the bottom right side of the sticker label is a tiny arrow that indicates that you can flip the sticker and underneath is a mini tutorial on how to use the palette.

Tutorial

So there are three steps here but I'm not really particular about it. Sometimes I use the wax powder alone for my brows. I use the sculpting powder for highlighting my brow bone or as base color before applying eye shadow. I use the fill powder as an eye shadow.

Swatches

Here are the swatches of this palette. The wax powder is a black brown shade, fill powder is a coffee brown shade and the last shade is somewhat a camel brown shade which barely registers on this swatch. IRL, the camel-brown shade which I love using as eye shadow base is great for covering the redness or ridding of oiliness in the lids.

In Action

On these photo sequence I'll show you how I used this palette.

1. Just my bare brows. And my WIDE forehead. You can land a plane here, honestly.
2. I used a spoolie to tidy my brows up a bit.
3. I used the wax powder to frame the brows. See how my brows look good already.
4. Lastly, I used the fill powder to fill up my brows and the sculpting powder on my brow bones.

Easy peasy, right?

To Sum Up
I'm so in love with this palette! It has made my life so much easier when it come to fixing my brows. I am not an expert when it comes to doing it and on most days I struggle, especially on days that I am in hurry.

Okay, first up, the size is so compact that it doesn't take up much space in my makeup kit. When I am feeling extra minimalist, this palette can serve as my eyebrow, eye shadow and sculpting kit in one. It an do all three jobs effectively. The powders are all in matte so they can serve as contour powders, especially for the nose area.

Secondly, the palette is very easy to use. When I received this in the mail, I was so eager to try it out and the result was amazing: I never thought I would ever be able to achieve anything close to brows on fleek. But I was able to achieve it and I was so happy. The key is to take things slowly. Visualize where your arches would be then draw it with the wax powder. Don't use too much wax powder or your brows could end up looking messy. I don't use the slanted brush included in this kit because I prefer a brush with  long handle.

For longevity, I can say that it basically stays put the whole day. Unless you're hosed down or you scratch your brows intentionally, I think it will stay put. I don't even use a brow mascara.

Overall, I love this product and I think this will be a permanent favorite. I'm definitely purchasing this again and I'm glad that Maybelline constantly has discounts. Well, discounted or not, I will buy this because it's very affordable. :) I hope Maybelline doesn't stop producing this.

I think I've met my brow match.

XO,
