Maybelline Brow Drama Review

I love brows! Although I don't have the best brows myself I still love trying new products. So when BR offered to send this I got in quick smart and chose the shade transparent as they don't have a blonde shade for this product. I find it disappointing that they don't have a blonde shade as really my dream brow product is something that adds colour and hold in one stroke. My brows are reasonably shaped but very pale blonde so can easily look overdone if I add too much colour.

I love the packaging of this product as well. In other brow gels I have used they have a clear packaging so when they get a wee bit of brow product in them they start to look murky and gross. At least with this black plastic packaging you won't notice. Now this is where the product started to scare me about it... the spoolie looks like a torture device! I have seen a few reviews of this online where they have cut off the round end and just left the normal spoolie looking bit. But I really like the round part though as it manages to pick up just the right amount of product without overloading your brows with product. This is great as the gel is quite wet.

I found this really nice on my brows. It made them stay in place well but not in a shiny way. It also wasn't very crunchy which I like. The gel also didn't move the coloured powder underneath so it really created a nice brow look.

This product isn't everything in one for me, but it is a really nice product that I will be adding to my brow routine. But it isn't an everyday product for me.

I use this in the darkest shade and it's great for keeping my brows in shape. The only thing I don't like about it is the strange shape of the wand - I feel like a different shape would be more user friendly. That aside, it keeps my brows in shape all day without fail!

Have this in dark brown which is surprisingly close to the color of my eyebrows. When I'm wearing this you can't even tell that I've any product on my brows at all. This helps keep the hairs in place for a neatly brushed look. I don't like to fill in my brows too much so for natural day to day looks I give this a swipe and that's it. It's easy to apply with the little ball shaped brush and it doesn't clump or anything. It does make my brows look ever so slightly darker. Removing is effortless as well with a makeup remover wipe. This does its job nicely but probably wouldn't buy it again as my eyebrows usually behave on their own without any brow gel.

At the moment on BR, the products for the perfect brows seem to be a big discussion. So inspired by all these products I picked the maybelline brow drama. I chose transparent because for everyday I don't need more colour just a bit of shape.

The product is packaged just like a mascara, but with a bristle ball on the end of the brush. I really liked this as I felt it moved a lot more naturally and easily along my eyebrows than a straight brush. The case for the product was a sleek black mascara looking tube with the typical drama font. I didn't like this so much because I think it is too similar to mascara packaging. I personally think they need to be different so someone doesn't accidentally pick up the wrong thing.

In terms of how the product worked. A think layer of the gel like substance came out on the brush which spread easy and evenly across the eyebrows. The gel then held that shape for the rest of the day.

I have this in dark brown and I got it from a makeup sale. I've heard a few things about this prior to purchasing so I was excited to try it. I did but it at the same time as the Loreal Brow Stylist Plumper too.

I find the brush with the round tip quite weird and too wide for my eyebrows. The formula is also wet so if I don't brush off the excess, I get too much on and it applies unevenly. I've seen a beauty vlogger on YT recommend cutting the tip but I find that too much work.

Overall, this is an ok product. I prefer the loreal brow stylist plumper due to the size of the brush but it does hold my brows in place.

I never realised until now how many of my cosmetics are Maybelline. They really seem to be a big brand in my make up bag! I bought this because i'm really trying to get into the brows. I have very faint and thin brows with not a lot of shape to them, so this seemed like a easy and quick way to 'dramatise' them a little! I actually like it, its nothing too bold and doesn't look out of place on my face. But sometimes you just need a little bit more filling. Definitely just a day product for me and ill add a bit extra for evening make up. Overall, it'll be kept in my make up bag and I will still use it for day to day :)

I have medium brown hair and find that this brow gel is actually a smidge light for me. The applicator is fantastic and allows for really precise application. I would love if the gel was a smidge thicker to allow for a brow thickening effect but it does give a really natural result and keeps those brows where they should be

I trialled the transparent version of the Maybelline Brow Drama and it really did tame my unruly brows. On days where I was more casual with my makeup I applied the brow mascara straight onto my eyebrows and the hair would sit nicely in position all day. On days where I was putting in more effort I could colour my eyebrows with my eyebrow pencil and then overcoat with the Brow Drama mascara to prevent out of position hairs and I also found that it helped to retain the colour better, as realised with the extra make up remover pad needed to remove my eyebrow colouring. I loved the mascara applicator, very easy to use, just like putting mascara on your eyebrows. And for $14.99 retail it's definitely a product I will be buying again.

I have the Maybelline Brow Drama in the shade 'Transparent'. When I do my brows I generally use a brow powder or a pomade to fill them in. However I also wanted a product that would hold my brow hairs in place during the day, to stop them looking messy. This product does a good job of this.

The packaging is a black tube. It is a similar shape and size to the Maybelline Great Lash Mascara packaging. The shape of the applicator wand is a bit different. It starts off like a skinny spoolie brush, but then it ends as a spiky sphere. This seemed a bit gimmicky to me at first. I feel like this shape could be tricky for makeup beginners to use, especially if they have one of the coloured shades. I have seen online that some people cut off the sphere part of the brush and just use the spoolie brush. So maybe try that if you find the brush difficult to control.

After using this product for a while, I actually enjoyed the shape of the brush. It does a good job of coating all the hairs in my brows in one sweep. Since I have the shade 'Transparent' (which is completely clear), I don't have to worry about getting any of the product on my skin.

Sometimes if you use too much product, you can see the gel on your brows. But if you keep sweeping the brush through, it will begin to look more natural. This product really sets all my hairs in place, and stops them from straying during the day. It leaves my brows feeling natural and soft, not crunchy like other products can be.

Overall, I really liked this product. It makes my brows look sleek and structured, which is why I wanted to purchase it in the first place. It's also quite cheap, so I would buy it again.
