Meh.

As someone who has naturally full brows, this probably wasn't a perfect product for me to purchase. However I wanted something that I could use for those days where I felt too lazy to use my Anastasia dip brow to make my brows look a little less unruly and tidier.

I have the shade medium/dark, which is a good match for my very dark brows.

The packaging for this is the same as a mascara except this has a much smaller brush than a mascara wand. This makes it ideal for getting into your brows without smearing the product everywhere. Once I have used this product up I will keep the brush as I do really like it.

This isn't super pigmented - which is kind of good as it makes it almost foolproof to use. When I use this it helps fill my brows in a little but not a whole lot. If you are looking for something to really fill them in then I wouldn't suggest this.

The biggest gripe I have with this product is the fact that it makes my brows feel crunchy after using it. I really don't like this as I like my brows for feel soft and natural - not hard and stiff.

A more natural look

I love eyebrow pencils and eyebrow game. There is something about bold eyebrows that make me feel like I can tackle the world.... Or at least a Monday morning and a traffic jam....

The packaging reminds me of mascara. Simple and effective with a mascara like brush or wand inside.

My colouring is light and normally I struggle to match colours to my hair so I was pleasantly surprised that this matched my eyebrows perfectly and looked natural, more so than the pencil look I normally rock. I still prefer the dramatic affect a pencil gives me but this coats the hair rather than your skin so it looks more like you were born with it.

My only fault to it is that it makes your eyebrows crunchy (for lack of a better word)..... Crunchy.... You know like when hair gel sets on your hair? Yeh like that. I'm not sure how I feel about this yet. But it is still a great product that boosts your eyebrows.

If you are after a different look than a pencil and have light eyebrows like me. This is a fab new addition to your make up kit. Just beware the crunch ;)

Tips: I applied mine much like mascara and used it to shape my eyebrows. However you shape them they will set like that so make sure you are happy!!

Hehe I got the crunch factor too but I actually kind of liked it because it made me feel fancy like someone that was well put together and reminded me not to go pawing at my face and rubbing makeup everywhere

Pretty good, not the best I have tried

First off - I was sent the transparent one to sample, and being very dark, I think perhaps this will affect my review somewhat (if I were to have bought the product I would have chosen the brunette shade)

The brush is the ideal shape and size for accurate application and the packaging quite attractive.

The gel was great for taming my brows and keeping them in place as long as I didn't touch them. I found one day that I had an itch and once I did that, the product seemed to have come off quite easily.

It's good for it's price range but I wouldn't be likely to try the transparent shade again or recommend it to a friend unless they are very blonde - and I didn't notice ANY 'plumping' effect at all. Worked like a brow gel, and I've found a better one made by ELF at a half the price.

So a touch disappointing to be honest, but good to have tried all the same.

Tips: Choose your shade carefully and you will likely have a better experience than me :)

This isn't the best product for me

I bought this brow plumper in medium/dark from beauty bliss. I'd seen it talked about on here but I also needed to buy something for about $20 to get free shipping so I went with this product! I've only used clear brow gels before so getting something tinted and also with fibres in it is very new to me.

First off, the colour. I was sort of worried it might be really warm and only a mid brown. It's a very cool toned darker brown which is great. I have black dyed hair but even with my naturally warm hair, I hate having warm brows!

Packaging wise, this comes in a nice silver tube that looks very sleek. It's a very similar size to a mascara tube. The cap is dark brown, I'm not sure if the cap changes depending on what colour you buy. I've used this a lot and none of the writing has worn off which is good too, then you don't get it mixed up with any other makeup product. This has a reasonably small wand, it's around 1cm long and is thinner at the top than what it is at the base. Sort of how a tree goes. I do wish it was even smaller. Because this is a tinted product, you have to be more careful and not get product on your skin, a smaller brush would just make things so much easier!

I have tried to use this on its own but I really don't like how it makes my brows look. I have what I would class as medium thick brows but I have a lot of sparse gaps especially near the tail end. This does a great job at clinging to hair, but if you don't have hair in places it just looks really weird. The few times I did use it on it's own took me 2 or 3 times as long as I usually take and just looked messy in not a good messy brow way. How I use it now is I pencil my brows in first and then I use the tip of this to set everything in place in the middle part of my brow. I don't use it on either end as again, I just feel like it doesn't look right.

I find this product sets quite quickly and won't budge but you have to be careful to spread the product out or it kind of bunches up in places. I can definitely see fibres on the wand but I don't really notice any plumping effect to my brows, I do wipe most of the product off before I use it though so it doesn't look too much in my brows. I don't get any crunchiness to my brows, but to be honest that wouldn't bother me at all. I don't touch my brows during the day. This lasts all day and doesn't flake or run.

I don't think this product is made for me. I also don't think it's a bad product. I think if you have naturally thicker brows and you want something to fill them in a little and keep them in shape, this would be perfect for you. I'll keep using this as I am but I wouldn't repurchase it.

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.

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.

Fills and colours your brows

This magic product has really won its way into my collection. It has tiny fibers that helps to fill out your brows while the gel tints your hairs and helps keep them in place all day. The formulation is quite wet so you need to make sure that you are careful not to smudge this on your face. I have the benefit gimme brow and find that I reach for this far more often. I have the medium shade and find it to be perfect for holding down the hairs on my brows down. It really keeps them stuck all day without feeling crispy and hard. It gives a more natural effect. The only thing is that I wish the brush was smaller. The brush itself is a small spooly brush with natural bristles. I use this on top of my dip brow and find it just gives me another extra bit of security for my unruly brows.

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

Just as good as Benefit Gimme Brow

I really really like this product and I don't think I could go a day without it. It sets my brows perfectly so they don't move at all during the day, it also comes in transparent and two coloured shades, the darker of which is perfect for my brows. I use this on days where I wear a full face and also on days where I'm just sitting at home because it gives my brows a fuller, more groomed look without any effort at all. The formula is quite similar to Benefit Gimme Brow and literally half the price and double the amount of product, it's a little bit of a wetter formula but once it dries down it looks exactly the same. Although I have heard that the undertones of the lighter shades are different with the L'Oreal one having warmer undertones
