I was so excited to be accepted into this trial! The L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Plumper seemed like the perfect product! Fast, easy and would make my brows look amazeballs. Unfortunately, I found it anything but!
When it arrived, it came with no instructions at all so if you haven't used a brow product like this before you'll need to wing it or Google tutorials to get the application right. The packaging however was great. I love that the colour of the product is on the lid.
I chose the dark brown and I was very happy that it was a true cool toned dark brown. A lot of other products I've tried are very warm toned, almost reddy which isn't the look I'm going for! The wand itself I personally thought could be a smidge smaller. Maybe I just have smaller brows than most, but I struggled to apply the product to just my brows and not the skin around them also.
I found the L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Plumper formulation to be wetter than I had imagined. It was hard to work with as it didn't go on evenly and I ended up looking like I'd wet my brows and chucked a bit of car engine grease in them LOL!
I don't know, maybe I just need more practise but I am not sold on this product. The idea of it is great, but it's just not right for me unfortunately.
To start, I reviewed the brunette colour in this product. This product was interesting to me, as I have always filled in my eyebrows but usually with a powder or gel type colour. I have found that the product worked well for me in two ways. Firstly on a day that you don't want a heavy makeup look it works nicely to make your eyebrows look slightly fuller and well defined, as it holds them in place well. Secondly I used this in combination with my eyebrow powder when I wanted a stronger look and this also had satisfying results with staying power! I would recommend this product, especially for those who are just starting out with eyebrows as it is pretty fool proof as long as you don't press too hard.
Tips: Try not to press to hard as the wand can smudge product on to you skin, this would give a very blotchy result. Instead build the product up with lots of light strokes.
