TGIF everyone. Let's get the party started?! Or not. I am in a hermitic mood right now and I'm not particularly planning anything the next couple of days. I think I need to recharge my batteries after an eventful weekend last week. (I "climbed" some mountains!).

While I am in a self-imposed solitary confinement, I'm pretty sure that that most of you are all raring to go out. Party makeup entails a show-stopping look and means that you should be sporting the all important, all-trendy "eyebrows on fleek."

Maybelline Fashion Brow 3D Brow and Nose Palette in Light Brown

Enter Maybelline's newest offering for all the masses, their Fashion Brow 3D Brow and  Nose Palette. This makeup consists of three shades for achieving the perfect brows and making sure that you don't get left behind on this all-consuming eyebrow trend. This nifty little product actually makes it easy for anyone (even newbies) to shape and contour not only their eyebrows but also their noses. At only Php 300, your wallet will also thank you.

Maybelline Fashion Brow 3D Brow and Nose Palette: (L) No Flash, (R) With Flash

The darkest shade is a cream and is used to shape and outline your brow shape. The middle shade  can be used both to fill in your brows and as a darker nose contour. The lightest shade can be used on the nose as contour.

Filling in the Brows with the Middle Shade

As someone who sometimes struggle with achieving the perfect eyebrows, this affordable product is a boon. I was skeptical as to using a cream to shape my brows but it actually works wonders. Using the included brush, the darkest shade from the Light Brown palette was able to define and outline my brows into my desired shape without it looking muddy and dirty. I used the middle shade to fill in the bald spots and also as a deeper contour along the lower part of my nose. I then used the lightest shade to contour the upper part of my nose and also to diffuse the darker brown contour.

This product actually works. Despite the scratchy dual-ended brush, I was able to achieve the look that I wanted: well-groomed, defined brows and sculpted, slimmer-looking nose. I also like that this product is multi-purpose. You can also use the cream as an eye shadow base and both the powders as eye shadows. This makes it very travel-friendly (I wish they also included a mirror).
