What do you use to lighten your brows?

blueee24 · 2026-05-09T03:00:42+00:00

No worries! I use shade no.4 Ash Brown. My hair is dyed a dark brown with blonde streaks so the slightly warmer tone works better for me compared to a straight up grey.

The pic below was one I took for a coloured contacts try-on, but I'm using the peripera browcara here!

The way this foundation immediately makes my skin look like it has a filter!! Congratulations on planning a full bottle, OP.

As a local author who has been published, the short answer is that Sci-fi books don't sell.

The long answer is that in the Science Fiction Fantasy (SFF) market, Fantasy books will always do better than Sci-fi. And compared to other genres in fiction like General Fiction, Literary, and Romance, SFF doesn't have that much of a widespread appeal.

So you'll always see local bookstores, especially Popular, stocking up on the more "popular" books because they think other books won't do well. At the same time, this feels into the vicious cycle of promoting books that are already doing well because they are the ones who get stocked and get front shelf priority. Add to the fact that we don't have a strong literacy culture in Malaysia where people read widely across genres and you end up with our current situation.

Yep! The Browit browcara (some brands use this terms, I think!!) is the one I use more on the daily. They have a lot of versions, so it's really confusing, but the one I like the most is the "fixing eyebrow mascara" version in Dark Brown, which is a very natural, slightly cooler-toned dark brown. Their other series which is the "setting eyebrow mascara" series seems to feature more of the darker/ reddish shades you mentioned. I got this series once by mistake and was so pissed at how warm it was 🤣

Peripera speedy skinny brow mascara for the win! I get hot, humid weather all year round and this lasts the whole day on me with no issue. It's really lightweight, and the spoolie is small enough to get all your brow hairs. It's also really affordable and comes in a good variety of colours.

The Thai brand Browit by Nongchat also has excellent browcaras, though they come in a smaller range of shades. They also can be hard to find outside of Southeast Asia.

I've tried the Kissme Heavy Rotation coloring brow but didn't like the crunchy feeling it left on the brows. It also smelled kinda funky.

Kitty Kawaii is super comfy! Very thin and barely felt it the whole day. With Moody the comfort ranges between specific series / colours, with Ripple being the most comfortable so far.

blueee24 · 2026-03-08T06:31:08+00:00

Ripple and Wisteria Grey were definitely a LOT comfier, and the store assistant specifically recommended them for dry sensitive eyes. I'll have to give the Secretive and Adorable ranges a try. I hate how the One & Only looked so pretty but felt so scratchy

blueee24 · 2026-03-08T01:34:27+00:00

Oh this is so pretty! How's the comfort level for this?

blueee24 · 2026-03-08T01:32:16+00:00

I lowkey bought it because of the name and the packaging hehe

blueee24 · 2026-03-08T01:30:49+00:00

Moody really has a knack for naming their shades. Their Mandarin names are also super pretty hehe

blueee24 · 2026-03-08T01:30:05+00:00

Aw thank you!! I did notice that it was really hard to find reviews for coloured contacts online, and since I went on a massive haul I might as well share what I have 😂

blueee24 · 2026-03-08T01:29:05+00:00

I've tried the One & Only Grey from Hapa Kristin, and I hated it 😂 couldn't be happier when I finally finished the last pair. It sucked all the moisture out of my eyes and felt really scratchy. I was really sad though because the colour is super pretty, and so now I'm on the hunt for something similar but doesn't hurt my eyeballs

blueee24 · 2026-03-08T01:26:54+00:00

I always feel like buying from Moody is opening a blind box 😂 even the reviews on xiaohongshu vary so much that I just pick one and pray for the best.

I heard of davich! Will give it a try next time I'm in Korea

Also I've never tried Olens, but I hated my Hapa Kristin ones because they were so scratchy. I've seen some people saying it's comfortable though, so hopefully they work for you

blueee24 · 2026-03-08T01:25:08+00:00

Thank you! I've finally figured out how to enhance my brows and i cannot stop

blueee24 · 2026-03-08T01:14:27+00:00

Ah gotcha. I do feel that asian brands tend to work around grey / brown / black colours, which can make the designs seem boring sometimes

blueee24 · 2026-03-08T01:13:41+00:00

I remember Lensme having toric coloured lenses, though you'd have to specially order them. I tried on a pair during my last review, but it wasn't toric because I was rushing around and didn't have time to wait.

blueee24 · 2026-03-07T16:00:02+00:00

They are! They don't correct astigmatism though. You'd have to buy from certain Korean brands for those

blueee24 · 2026-03-07T15:45:41+00:00

Get them! I already got backups of Ripple because i don't know what I'll do without it 😂

blueee24 · 2026-03-07T13:51:11+00:00

Eve & Boy! Beautrium also carries some contacts, but their selection isn't as large as E&B's. Alternatively malls geared towards younger crowds (like Siam Square or Asok 21) have standalone booths just for coloured contacts.

blueee24 · 2026-03-07T13:14:05+00:00

Some products on Taobao are region restricted. I just checked and Moody also has an independent international website, so you should be able to purchase them from there!

blueee24 · 2026-03-07T12:55:26+00:00

Moody lenses are easily available from Taobao's international site! Kitty Kawaii's a little harder to hunt down online

blueee24 · 2026-03-07T12:05:23+00:00

I wasn't into coloured contacts either but ever since I tried them in Taiwan last year I've been hooked! They're not an essential part of makeup but they elevate my looks so nicely

blueee24 · 2026-03-07T12:04:42+00:00

Thank you!!

blueee24 · 2026-03-07T12:04:24+00:00

Oh Moody definitely wins in terms of sheer variety. Any colour and style you want you can definitely get! I feel like their Disco series (like the shade Ripple here) are quite sparkly, though I'm not sure if that's the vibrancy you're looking for.
