Laneige Eyebrow Cushion Cara Two tone Review + Demo

Laneige eyebrow cushion cara two tone Hello, my name is Christina and I have to admit, I’m cushion crazy.  But I think that is a very known fact if you have read my blog at least once or twice.  Heck, I still got 25 brand new cushions I haven’t cracked open, that’s how crazy I am.  Cushions in Korea have now evolved to not only BB cushions for the face, but even eyebrows, lips and eyeliner too!  Say what?!?!  When I saw that Laneige came out with a brow cushion, I knew I had to order it from Jolse (they sent this to me for reviewing purposes).  Now that I got my hands on it, let’s see if this will work out!

How to use:
The translation is slightly off since it is just Google translation, but you guys get the idea right?  I’ve also seen people use the spoolie part of the brush, coat it a little bit and then also tint the eyebrow hairs.

Laneige eyebrow cushion cara two tone Product packaging:
Packaging for Laneige is also sophisticated and sleek. The cushion-cara is no exception with its sleek black casing.  Opening up the case, inside is a nice sized mirror, the cushion housed to the left side and also a foldable applicator which has a angled brow brush and also a spoolie.

Laneige eyebrow cushion cara two tone The brush is actually not half bad!  But I personally feel like the brush needs to be denser so the tip would be more precise and sharp.  The spoolie is also not half bad.  If you guys are familiar with the ones from Pony effect or Shu uemera, the spoolie is exactly the same as those ones.  Since I got used to using the oddly shaped spoolies, I actually can’t get back to using the regular tree shaped ones since I find the traditional ones doesn’t give me the full control that I want.  The dome side allows me to deposit the right amount of product and pressure, this is if you are using it to tint your brow hairs.  To brush out the product, it works nicely as well.Laneige eyebrow cushion cara two tone Colour/ pigmentation:
I think after playing around with this brow cushion, I picked the wrong shade out of the two that is offered.  Shade number one has two grey tones while shade two has a light grey brown and a grey undertoned milk chocolate shade.  I don’t remember what I was thinking when I picked shade #2 but we will roll with it.

Laneige eyebrow cushion cara two tone Color wise, the left side contains the darker semi-sweet chocolate brown shade with a slight grey undertone and the right side contains a milk chocolate with a grey undertone.

Texture/ Finish:
Since it is a cushion product, I was thinking that this product might be a watery, unpigmented mess but to my surprise it wasn’t!  Although it is liquid, somehow the pigment adheres onto the skin quite well.  One thing I do have to nit pick about this product is, you can’t really control how pigmented it looks on the skin.  I mean yea you can brush it out, but on my brows, it still look a little too harsh and gives me caterpillar eyebrows.  It might work better with those who have less dense of brow hairs.  Finish wise, it is a satin finish and has a realistic look on the face.

Lasting power:
 
My brows was fully intact the whole day when I had this on.  I was really self conscience since my brows literally looked like Lee Hyori’s bad girl music video, all you see is brow.  Average, lasting power was about 6-8 hours before slight fading.  I didn’t have any problems with it smudging which was quite surprising.

Fragrance?:
There is a slight floral scent but it is super duper faint.  Smell-o-scale: 2/10 in terms of how strong the scent is.

Laneige eyebrow cushion cara two tone Okay let’s try this out!

Here are my brows when it isn’t filled in or anything.  I mean I would leave it since it doesn’t look that bad, but when I do a full face of make up, it looks weird if I don’t fill it in a little bit.  I usually just use either a eyebrow pencil or some powder to fill it in.

So I’m going to start off with the lighter shade, which is the shade on the right side. Luckily for me, the color and undertone matches my hair color right now, so it doesn’t look too awkward on the brows.  I personally don’t like the brow brush that it comes with, I would definitely use my own brush for this.  You also can choose not to lay the whole color down on the whole brow, but for me it would look silly if half my brows was a brow undertone while the rest is a dark grey color.

And here is the brows with the darker shade on top.  In person, I don’t know why I was freaking out.  it looked really dark and prominent but in pictures, it doesn’t look half bad!  I also brushed it out afterwards which did soften up the look a bit.  I personally just don’t like how you can’t get a crisp edge, so it looks slightly caterpillar like.

Okay I really don’t know now.  Here my brows look airbrushed and perfect…Maybe i just need some getting used to.

Overall thoughts:
Since this is one of the few (if not the only) brow product that is in a cushion format, I didn’t know what to expect.  To my surprise, the product was pigmented and easy to use but it is definitely not like the traditional powder or pencil brow products.  You can lay the color down no problem, but if you are used to a crisp brow, you won’t really be able to get that from this.  Brushing out my brows after application did soften up the look but my brows are definitely a very prominent feature on my face.  Overall I do like this product and it will take some getting used to, but I think that it is definitely a good product.

    I’ve had one of these in the grey shade for while now. I think it works better to use the angle brush to draw my eyebrows in entirely, then use the spoolie end to comb it out and soften the outlines a bit. Their instructions seem a bit awkward to me.
    This is one of my favorite brow products. Just used my need for a replacement as an excuse to make a haul…

      I would have definitely used a thinner angled brush instead of this one, but for demostration purposes, I had to use the one provided 😅. I’m glad to hear this was one of your favourites tho!

    Hi, can’t find this product in any webshop…:-( Does ist still exist from Laneige?

    Wow it actually looks great on your brows! Haha im thinking of getting it too in replace of my benefit goofproof pencil cos it’s pretty expensive and isn’t budgeproof either. This shade suits your hair colour!
