Sivanna Colors 3D Waterproof Brow’s Secret (03 Dark Brown)-Review/Swatches
Sivanna Colors 3D Waterproof Brow’s Secret (03 Dark Brown)-Review/Swatches |
All of you know
my affinity towards budget makeup products and those which give great results at an affordable rate. I have reviewed
a couple of affordable eyebrow grooming
products already in the blog (Read HERE
and HERE), and today is the turn of
another such eyebrow product from one of my favorite budget brands- Sivanna Colors.
This product claims to contain a pencil, a brow powder and a brow gel/mascara
all in one pen! I wanted to see if it is really worth the hype. Below is a
detailed review of the same. Read on!
Product: Sivanna Colors 3D Waterproof Brow’s Secret.
Shade: 03 Dark Brown (Only available shade with the seller)
Bought from:Charis. Enterprise (Instagram seller of Sivanna
cosmetics)
Price: Rs. 375/- for 3 gms (Includes shipping charge) [Please note that prices
are not fixed when you shop anything from Instagram stores. The prices mentioned
in review are the ones I have bought the product at]

Packaging: The pen comes in a stunning metallic rose-gold packaging. There is the
retractable brow-pencil on one end, the brow-mascara on the other end and the
brow powder is at the center (leaning on the side of the pencil). The pencil
has a click-lock cap, while the powder and the mascara both have screw-caps.

My take: Texture-wise, all the three parts of this 3D brow product are
satisfactory: the pencil doesn’t drag
and is very smooth, the powder is pigmented and so is the mascara. The
mascara wand is thin enough for brows.

First major
issue which I faced was with the shade. Since I had to buy the only available
shade with the seller (Dark brown), I did not have much option, but this shade
would best suit people who have absolutely brown brows.

As you can see
in the swatches below, the pencil and
the powder are a tad too warm for my natural brow color. The mascara
however looked more forgiving than the other too. Although Maybelline Fashionbrow in shade Brown also looked very warm when
swatched but looked absolutely normal on my brows, sadly this wasn’t the case
here.

Second issue
which I faced was, on piling three products together on my sparse brows, the
effect is slightly crumbly and “too much”. It looks about fine in pictures, but
when face to face with someone, a person may actually embarrass you by telling “there
is something on your brows”.
To counter these
problems, I have decided to use this pencil a lipliner instead (since it is
very pigmented and smooth) :P. Also, I have noticed that when only the powder
and the brow gel are used, the effect is far more natural.
As far as the
staying power goes, this product takes a while to “dry and set” but once done,
it stays put without smudging. It is sweat and water-resistant. However, a good
rub with wet hands brings off a little of the product. So, it is not
waterproof.
Overall, this
product, no matter how beautiful it looks, is not a must-buy product from
Sivanna, atleast not till the other shades are introduced in India. The shade
03 Dark brown is simply not for majority of Indians L
The next post will be on all the Sivanna products that I own and recommend :) Stay tuned
