My only issue is that moister is in the eyebrow section, not sure how to get rid of it.

I also prefer the amber eyebrow too but have to admit, it does look much better with the inner black out theme of DKNY.

It comes down to the quality of the LEDs and whether or not you're running them to spec and not beyond it (which is why it blows out).
