Pros: doesn't stick brows together, gives volume, handy brush wand, non-sticky, wears all day

Usually I don’t use such products, because I prefer an eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder for this purpose. Moreover, I have coarse brows that are pretty manageable, so I don’t normally purchase eyebrow gels.

But I was really excited to try this legendary product. I wanted to know if it could wow me. And to be honest, it couldn’t, but I’m not underwhelmed by the results either.

 

General info:

Shade: 03

Size: 3g

Country: USA

 

🍀 Outer appearance 🍀

The package is made properly. Plus the leaflet is included.

The tube itself reminds me of a magic wand or a scepter.

The brush is small, neat and tapered.

As for smell, it’s non-scented.

 

🍀 The shade 🍀

I have the shade No. 03, Medium neutral light-brown.

To tell you the truth, I chose the wrong shade. The shade No. 04 would have been perfect for me.

The thing is that when I looked at the swatches on the official website, the tone No.03 seemed pretty dark for me and I thought that it would be a nice addition to my natural-looking nude makeup.

In fact, I was right. The effect is natural when the gel is used alone without any eyebrow powders or pencils.

It’s very nice when you don’t have time to draw your brows.

Nevertheless I still prefer adding the brow powder to my brows. I don’t use much of it, because the gel still fills my hairs, although it doesn’t ensure any wow-effect.

 

🍀 Application 🍀

The manufacturer advises to initially apply the gel to the brow and then only groom it. In other words, you smear your hairs with the product and then style them. I use the tapered tip for applying and the brush itself for grooming.

 

🍀 Effect 🍀

You can see the results in the following pictures:

In makeup:

I’m not wowed by the results, but they are still pretty decent taking into account that I picked up an inappropriate shade.

As for the wear time, I can definitely say that it lasts all day without any crumbling. At the same time it doesn’t fix my brows very firmly.

Also, it’s waterproof and I’ve checked it in the rain myself.

 

Overall thoughts

Pros:

💗 nice brush

💗 lasts all day

💗 adds some color and volume to my brows

💗 doesn’t stick my brows together

💗 doesn’t crumble

 

Cons:

Not found

 

What can I also say about this brow gel? In fact I doubt that there is anything that I won’t like from such a brand.

However, I won’t say that I’m totally obsessed with the results. I probably had high hopes. Nevertheless it does what it promises: it gives volume, color and a natural looking effect. So, it definitely deserves 5 stars.

Thanks for reading to the end Smile
