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. :)
Perfectly tidy eyebrows all day long,amazing! I love how quick it is to apply with great looking results! No horrible shine and my brows look awesome all day, incredible difference to your face. I just adore it
Tips: it is worth the minute to use it everyday in your make up routine!
