I followed one of the MUA reviewers here and bought Lise Watier's "Chocolat" single e/s instead. Chocolat was everything I wanted Espresso to be: highly pigmented, easy to blend... So yes....

Very good brow powder. I have almost black brows. This fills them so naturally. It's so easy to do! Makes a big difference yet they don't look "done." UPDATE: Anastasia's Brow Powder Duo works...

This is a dark brown, matte eye shadow. On the quad it looks lighter than the brown shade in the Coffe Shop duo from Clinique's Colour Surge, but it's not once swatched on my hand. It's a fine...

Love Espresso. It's one of the most versatile eyeshadows, since it can be used for accentuating a smokey eye on outer V, on crease to sculpt and contour the eye, on lashline as an eyeliner and one...

This is my HG shadow (alongside woodwinked), simply because it can be used for so much! I have black brows but espresso still fills them in and looks oh so natural. As for the crease colour, I...

At first I hated this eyeshadow for the crease, it was much too dark to use everyday. But I found that this is a perfect BROW filler for me (asian-black/brown hair). I do use it for my crease...

I decided I needed a brown shadow and got this. I love it. I have black eyebrows and had been filling them in with black shadow, which was way too harsh. This gives a beautiful subtle look when I...

I like this best as an eyeliner or smudged along the outer edges. It's a beautiful dark espresso color, just like you think it would be. It's the kind of color I think everyone should have in...

Awesome color. Great for all kinds of combos to add a little depth. This and carbon are great shadows and can also be used as a liner with a damp angled brush or as brow fillers.
