Natural Brows (but better)

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.

Not Sold On It

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.

Tips: - This product might not be right for you if you have thinner brows.

- Definitely Google tutorials before just diving in if you've not had any experience with this type of product before

Revive the Brow

I was one of the lucky few chosen to review the much anticipated L'Oreal Brow Artist Plumper. I can honestly say I was counting down the days till its arrival...all the hype of the promotion and the fact its claims to plump the brow hairs had me excited. While waiting for the product, I thought of numerous ways I could approach my review (hoping this may help others out plus also show I was been series in my review, not just wanting a few beauty product) I came up with the following points:

BRANDING: the actual L'Oreal product branding was a classic black with gold print, logo placement and product description. Unfortunately I would have liked to see the actual "colour" labelling printing onto the product, not printed on a sticker and placed on it. it does have the volume (15mls) and life span (6M) printed directly onto the container.

PRODUCT/CONTAINER: similar if not the same a standard mascara cylinder container. The standard cylinder shape with a screw off handle/brush.

BRUSH?HANDLE: The handle (part of the lid/brush) is light weight and is easy to hold. The actual brush is around 10mm, with a tapered/pointed brush tip...suitable for detail and defining of brow hairs.

BROW PRODUCT: applying the gel like substance (similar to gel texture), is easy. Basically just brush it into your brow line, taking care to follow the nature direction of the hair. Its coats every strand of hair on the brow, giving each strand definition and sets it in place. This product does not flake nor cause any reaction. When applied and shaped, gel sets your brow shape all day.

OVERALL: I received the "transparent" Brow Artist Plumper (for the record I have medium to light brown complexion and dark black/black eye brows)... I thought this was a great product for setting your brows in place. But I felt it was not the best for plumping my brows, I have had similar results using gel on a mascara brush. I tested this for 3 days by itself (during this time I wasn't pleased with just setting my brows, I wanted them to look fuller), so I thought why not test it over my normal brow routine (lightly coloured in with brow liner to make them look fuller). WOW, first day of applying this product over top of my normal eyebrow method...I am totally in love with the product! By filling in my brows as usual, then applying the Brow Artist Plumper over top looked amazing. It set my brow hair strands in place, its shaped my brows and stayed in place the entire day. What I loved most about combining the two, was the the way it lifted the appearance of my brows from matt and flat to a lil shiny and more natural.

I recommend this beauty product to anyone who pencils their eyebrows (for a fuller look)...this will just help your brows look more natural and sets them in place for the whole day. ENJOY!

Tips: Use this product to compliment your current eyebrow routine. For brown skin/dark hair people, try the transparent first..I imagine this is more forgiving then painting your brows black. Also keep an eye out for this when it goes on special, as its currently $19.90 RRP.

Natural, defined brows

I was so excited to trial this! Unfortunately, I had a wee moment of forgetfulness and managed to forget to bring it with me (I went away for Easter break a couple of days after I got it in the mail), but one of my lovely friends gifted me with another so that I could complete the review. My incompetence aside, I really have enjoyed using this, and it’s made a nice addition to my everyday makeup routine.

This brow mascara comes in classic L’Oreal packaging: black with a gold band just under the lid and gold lettering. It’s small and compact and stands up well to being thrown around in my travel makeup bag (always important!). The brush is like a really tiny, slightly tapered, fibre mascara brush. I love how small it is, as it makes application nice and precise. It doesn’t seem to pick up too much product either, which means it’s not too messy.

I’ve been using this in the dark shade, which matches my (dark, hehe) eyebrows nicely – it’s not too warm-toned, which is often a problem for me with brow products. To use, I brush it up and through my brows, and comb them into place with the wand. My eyebrows are pretty full and even anyway, but this definitely adds some ‘plumpness’ and fills in slightly sparser patches, such as at the very front of my brows. The fibres definitely help add fullness, and I do suspect that this would then work really well for people with slightly sparser eyebrows.

I find that this gel sets to quite a… crunchy… finish. My brows definitely aren’t going anywhere in a hurry once I’ve applied this! I don’t really mind, but if that’s a pet peeve of yours then maybe stay away from this. :) I find that this lasts all day without fading/streaking/looking gross. I don’t know how it holds up in rain, just because I haven’t been out anywhere with it on while it’s been raining, but I’ll update this review if I find out.

Overall, I do really like this. It gives me a natural yet defined looking brow, and sets my brows firmly in place. The best thing is how easy it is to use! I probably will be repurchasing this one, and I’d definitely recommend it to others. :)

Tips: Don't apply too much at a time - I don't usually re-dip the brush for one eyebrow - this helps everything stay looking natural. :)

Not Sold On It

I was initially really stoked to be chosen to trial the L'Oréal Paris Brow Artist Plumper, i selected the dark brunette colour as my eyebrows tend to fizzle out into blonde at the end and become non existent. I use an eyebrow pencil to fill them in everyday and was hoping the plumper would replace my current eyebrow regime. However, when it arrived I was surprised to see I had received the clear one instead of brunette as requested, im guessing it was a popular shade. I knew right off I would still have to use my brow pencil for definition. The thin mascara like bottle did not come In a package so I can't comment of that, but the bottle itself is sleek, elegant and a fairly decent size for the price. Since I had never used an eye brow plumper before I had no idea how to apply it, and with no instructions with it, I pretty much had to go online to find out what how to apply it properly. The brush is just like a mini maraca wand, small and easy to use, and once I found out how to apply correctly, was very easy. The gel felt light on my brows and dried quickly. Unfortunately, it made no difference to my eyebrows at all. I didn't feel it added any volume and being clear In colour, I still had to apply my eyebrow pencil first for definition. Not something I would be keen on doing everyday. It did work well in keeping my brows in place but there are cheaper eye brow gels on the market if that's what I was looking for. I so wanted to love this product and if it was the right colour for me or my brows happened to be defined (and not fizzle into blonde) in the first place then I may have. Overall disappointing but still happy to have trialled it :)

Tips: For best effect, try a shade that matches your brows.

Unfortunately nothing special

My natural brows are not particularly full, so brows have never really been my thing; however I was excited to try this product because it claims to volumise your brows by adding little fibres which I thought could be a nice way to make my brows look thicker, but naturally. So I was a little disappointed when I received the clear gel because I thought I had asked for the dark brunette version. I personally do not think L’Oreal should be selling the clear gel as a ‘brow plumper’ because it is not. It is merely a setting gel and should be advertised as such – ‘L’Oreal Paril Clear Brow Setting Gel.’ Now to setting gel itself: It works fine, but really it’s nothing special. I have been using it with my regular brow pencil, and it does help to set the brows in place. I was caught in heavy rain yesterday and my brows hadn’t shifted which I was impressed by. I like the mini brush head as it makes it easy to target little sections of the brow and makes sure the gel is only on the brow and not all around it too. A downside is that if you use a bit too much gel it can set your eyebrows a little bit too hard and they can look a bit cakey. I had to rub some off with a cotton tip the first time I over applied. I don’t really think there is much to set the gel apart from any others like it. Though I do like that it’s not too pricey, so I would probably purchase again if I couldn’t find a cheaper brow gel. I would love to try the actual brow plumper with tint and fibres in it, to see if it does what it claims, so I will probably purchase it in the future to give it a chance and see if it wows me more than the clear gel.

Plump up your eyebrows

Having very fine and fair eyebrows I eagerly put my hand up for this trial. The L'oreal Paris Brow Plumper arrived, with no box or instructions. So I browsed the L''oreal website for instruction. Apply with quick even strokes on the brow area you would like to plump up. Ok here goes. I applied the Plumper by using short strokes and using a combing effect working from the inside out. The bristled brush made the "combing" real easy as you comb your way to the desired shape. The result? I noticed my eyebrows became plumpier (sounds real funny - plump your eyebrows)

There was definitely volume. I then continued to use my preferred eyebrow pencil to highlight the brows even further. Would I be prepared to spend $20 for a Brow Plumper? Probably not. I find it easier to get an eyebrow tint which will accentuate the brows better.

I did like the fact that the shade was transparent, so no funny coloured skin beneath the brows.

L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Plumper Review

I was really looking foward to trying this product. I haven't tried anything like it before & the whole idea of it was pretty exciting. I had opted for the Brown, but recieved Translucent. No instructions - but wasn't worried as looked straightfoward. Liked the little wand applicator - not too big & way easier than a brush etc. I was pleasantly suprised that there wasn't any smell too. I noticed it went on kind of like a gel...but didn't really notice any plumping as such. I did notice once it dried, there were afew dired out white bits through my eyebrows - not heaps, but enough for me to notice & have to clean off. So sadly - noting really happened that I could notice...would happily try it again in a colour maybe instead of translucent, but at this stage I certainly wouldn't consider buying it or recommending it. Thanks!! :o)

Eyebrows

I love L'Oreal products so I had high expectations for this product, I opted for the blonde one. This brow plumper tamed my eyebrows and really got every single brow hair coated due to the fabulous, decent sized brush. Straight away I noticed my eyebrows looked much fuller, after a long day they brow plumper still managed to keep my brows tame and fuller without any smudging or fading!

Tips: Wipe of excess product on the brush before applying to avoid clumping
