L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Plumper Review

I was really excited to have been chosen to trial this product as I am a big fan of tinted eyebrow gels. Having dark hair and very light blonde eyebrows i chose the shade 02 - dark brown, but unfortunately received the transparent shade.

I decided to get my eyebrows tinted as I didn't want to waste this awesome trial opportunity (and am also useless at filling in my eyebrows with pencil or shadow) but I hate to admit it but I was not blown away with the results of the L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Plumper.

As it is advertised, the formula contains fibres that are intended to plump your eyebrows. However, with the transparent shade it just acts as a very crusty feeling brow gel.

I have heard such great things about the tinted shades - some even comparing it to Benefit's Gimme Brow which I am a huge fan of, so I may repurchase this in the shade I originally was after. But I do not recommend spending $20.00 on a clear gel.

I was super excited to try this product, which may be why I was a little disappointed with its performance.

On first glance, it's really nice and it doesn't have an offensive chemically smell which is always a bonus! I really liked the little application wand, it was excellent at applying the product an combing the brows.

To me, it was just like applying a clear eyebrow gel (I was sent transparent). I didn't notice any "fibres" or any "plumping". As someone who has problem brows after a surgery in that area, I was hoping this would be a big help in cover my scars. I really wanted to love this product - but I just don't see the hype unfortunately. It's a glorified brow gel - I wouldn't waste money on it!

I tested the brown colour and found it fantastic, it made my brows look full while still looking natural. The brows held in place well and I would therefore recommend this product for those with long brows which get out of place easily. I then went on to try the clear colour of this and It was terrible! when it was initially put on it was fine, but after a while it looked like I had cobwebs in my brows as when the brow hairs were pushed out of place the product was no longer clear around that area (it was like when you bend plastic and it gets 'stress whitening'). It then proceeded to go dandruff like... Therefore as a whole I would recommend buying the brown or blonde ones and not the clear one :)

I have had my medium/dark gel for a few months. It very quick to use, which is great when I have slept in and rushing to get to work. Just need to be very careful about clumps on the wand. Quite often there is a chunk and then it smudges on the brow and is wayyyy darker than the rest. I don't use it unless I am in a hurry or I have run out of other brow products. The wand aside from clumping is a good size, and easy to use. Next time I would consider the transparent one, but I wouldn't buy the medium/dark again.

I was really really excited to be selected for this trial, cause lately I am ALL about my brows. I've gone past the awful over plucking days of my youth and am finally at a place where they have a good natural shape with relative fullness to them. I didn't really know what to expect with this product (and still don't, I've googled a few times what its actually meant to DO). It plumped nicely and i liked the way it slicked the errant brows that have bent weirdly from sleeping. I would really recommend doing your usual pre eyebrow filler, because otherwise it just plumps with no filler. It was easy to use and i liked the gel, not too stiff or gluggy. Would i buy it? Probably not. A dab of hairspray on a finger would probably do the trick. Otherwise for me, it was a fun 'finisher' for your eyebrows.

I love brows. My brows are my favourite thing about my face and if they don't look good I feel like a homeless. So I took this review very seriously. Usually I use my Elf Eyebrow Kit with Gimmie Brow from Benefit and maybe the odd dark shadow. So to test product, I used it where I would usually use the Gimme Brow, right after I sculpt and shape with the eyebrow kit. Now this product is good, the colour fit me perfectly (medium brown I think) and my brows definitely stayed in play all day. A couple of things though- the wand is SO BIG, its bigger than my actual brow haha so applying was a bit tricky which meant I didn't get many 'fibers' in my brows which I don't really mind also. But I do think they need to make the wand smaller or bring out a smaller model aswell. Also, when I say it stays, IT STAYS. Washing my face with makeup remover and cleansers left my eyesbrows running (like a waterproof mascara would do) I mean, its pretty tough to get off haha.

But, I would use it again and probably keep using till it runs out- although, unless its substantially cheaper than Gimmie Brow from Benefit, I probably wont purchase.

Now, to be honest I have pretty thick brows but they do need taming. I love the look of thick and plumped up brows but whenever I used to try and do mine, they would smudge and move everywhere and I would have brows going crazy sticking out in funny places.

The product claims to volumise hair strands but unfortunately it did nothing to the volume of my brows. I got the clear gel so I cant comment on the shade, but the brow clear gel applies so nicely and evenly and sets so my brows don't go astray!

The brush is small, similar to the top half of a mascara wand, which is the perfect size for application. The gel itself is not scented and looks quite nice and easy to use which is a bonus!

I will repurchase the product again, purely for the fact that it sets my brows in place so I dont have to worry about them for the rest of the day. They make my brows look sleek and so good, so I would definitely recommend even though they do not do much on the volume side of things.

I missed out on getting this product through a trial, but was lucky enough to nab it in the vault instead.The brow plumper i have comes in transparent colour, although other options are blonde, and brown.

From the outside, this product could easily be interpreted as a mascara. It comes in a thick, plastic cylinder tube, with a twist of lid, which reveal a wand applicator. The outside packaging of this is really simple and understated, which doesn't really leave much to talk about.

The spoolie type end on this wand is unqiue, and i havent seen anything like it. The best way i can describe it, is a tiny upside Christmas tree, because of its shape, and it even has tiny little bristles which remind me of the pine needles on a christmas tree. That is honestly the best way i can describe this.

The formula of this product feels really basic aswell. In the version i have, the product simply looks like a clear gel, and the consistency is really similar to the ELF clear brow gel. I don't find that it has a noticeable smell or anything either.

The brush picks up enough product to easily swipe over brows, and honestly, i still wipe product off before i run this through my brows because when you over do the gel, it does dry weirdly, and flakes. So less really is more with this one.

I like this product because it does smooth, shape and tame brows, and is so quick and easy. However, in the transparent version, this product does not plump brows at all. I will be picking up a coloured version of this and seeing if that makes any difference.

This is a good affordable eye brow gel for everyday use. It's a good colour, but I do find the brush is quite big for me which can make it hard to contain the product on eyebrows. It can also get quite crunchy feeling on the eyebrows and a lot of product can be on the brush which can leave big streaks so pays to wipe a little off.
