I tend to go with a daytime look, pretty natural, but I always fill in my eyebrows – I hate if I leave the gym and my eyebrows aren’t done; I’m just very uncomfortable with myself.

Hey there!
Welcome to another makeup review by me. There’s something special with this post because it’s also a tutorial. I will be telling you how I do my natural-looking eyebrows with the use of a product that comes from a local brand in the Philippines which is San San. It is under the company HBC – Hortaleza Beauty Center. I just recently tried out their products, and so far, I am loving them.
One of the products that I bought from this brand is their San San Eyebrow Powder Duo. I’ve been wanting an eyebrow powder for a long time already since I am not that much liking the result of drawing my brows with an eyebrow pencil. When I knew this product from San San, I said to myself: I must try it out.
DISCLAIMER: This review is based on my honest views, basic knowledge, own opinions, understanding, and use of makeup. This does not aim to claim that my opinions on this product are right. This review is here to share you my expectations, experiences, and satisfaction with this makeup product. This review is not sponsored either.
Here’s the product:
Let’s start with the packaging. I truly liked how it looks. The mirror-like cover with a tint of blue made it definitely modern-ish.
Now, I’m going to show you its back portion.
This eyebrow powder is in the shade light-medium brown. I chose this shade because I believe that dark-shaded products will make my brows look harsh. ( my eyebrows are brown-black that’s why I don’t over-do my eyebrows. I want to keep them natural and fine looking when filling it in )
Moving on, I love this product because it has vitamins A, C, and E which is a definite assurance that I would just not enhance my brows, but also nourish it. ( Note: I won’t deal with it too much because I am no expert with it.😂😇 ) A big thumbs up for this product.👍👍
I bought this for around Php 120.00-123.00. I am really quite not sure of how much it costs now, however, I promise you that it’s just around that the range. For students like me, it’s pocket-friendly and worth buying because firstly, its price is affordable. Secondly, its quality is amazing. Thirdly, it really is safe for my skin, especially that I’m still a teenager and our skin is undergoing changes.
Inside, there’s a mirror and a small angled brush for the eyebrows. The applicator is tiny that’s why I use my own brush when using it, yet it’s useful mostly for me whenever I travel and when I don’t have much space to carry another brush for it. It’s handy-dandy!😉
Here are the swatches of the shades:
The colors are just right for my brows. Again, it gives a natural-looking effect for me.
Now, I am going to start my tutorial.
Natural Brow Tutorial
Firstly, I groom my brows by shaving the excess hairs from the natural shape of my brows. After my brows are looking all clean, I use a spoolie to brush down my eyebrow hairs, using the San San Eyebrow Powder Duo, I fill in the gaps – the spaces where there are no hairs. I fill them carefully, making sure I’m not applying too much product to maintain the natural look. After doing that, I brush up my brows and then I’ll do the exact same thing which is filling the spaces. I’ll be doing it on my other eyebrow, too. Lastly, apply clear mascara to keep them in place.
On the first picture below, you’ll see my right eyebrow is being filled in while the left one still has these visible gaps of hair. on the following picture, my eyebrows are all done!
Overall, the San San Eyebrow Powder Duo by San San is 9/10. You may have noticed that I reviewed it with all satisfaction, but I still did not rate it with a perfect score because I think it needs to be improved when it comes to its longevity. Nevertheless, the product is worth a buy.
Currently, I am loving this brand, and surely I am going to buy more of their products and review it for you. HBC has periods where they give huge discounts on some of their products. I stay updated about their great deals on their Instagram account: @myhbcph. You may also buy this online on their website.
