Product:
This is a strange product sadly. The pencil portion it very stiff to work with on the skin and can chunk off while applying it. The powder also I found pilled/balled up on the skin if you needed to build up the colour as it didn't always want to apply evening in 1 or 2 passes.

Colour:
Blonde is a warm taupe brown with a matte finish for both the Powder and Pencil.

Wear: I got about 8 hours wear on their own in the eyebrow area. The Hi-Lite wears off in 6 hours

Packaging: Is a plastic twist up pencil on the one end. And a sponge applicator with the powder product in the cap.

Daylight & Flash Swatches: Blonde, blocked out powder and pencil strokes.

Verdict:
This is a one that you could still use but for me, I say pass on it. It just a little too frustrating to work with when both products have the tendency to ball up on the skin at random points in the application.
