Maybelline Brow Tattoo Gel Tint Review

This product has to be my favourite new toy. The packaging is professional and fuss free. It is a nice, thick formula so is easy to apply mess free and it stays in place once applied. I chose the dark brown as the other brown had more red tones to it. It makes my brows look full and tidy for 3-4 days depending on how I clean my face. I would absolutely recommend this to friends as it is a quality product, easy to apply and as I paid $15, I believe VERY reasonably priced.

Used this product quite a few times when I couldn't be bothered pencilling my eyebrows everyday, however because it really sticks to the hair, I often pulled out so many eyebrow hairs which haven't grown back!

Product comes in plain black mascara type tube with gold lid. I wanted to love this product after great reviews but was disappointed. It seemed to disappear after one shower or facial cleanse and didn’t really do much even when I left it on overnight. I found it fiddly to get off as well and it felt like I was pulling hair out. It might be different if you have less brow than I do and it’s colouring you skin more than you hair? Won’t repurchase.

Thick but not too thick consistency. It lasts a few days which is good, especially if you're going on a trip and cannot be bothered doing your brows everyday! Doesn't dry too quick so you're able to wipe away any mistakes you make with a cotton bud, whilst perfecting the shape you like!

The first time I used this I was not that impressed. Second time and I'm hooked now. Only purchased this once and I plan to again. You apply a thick layer to your brows in the shape you want. It comes with a brush that I think was not hard to use because of how it is shaped. You leave the product to dry and harden. Then you peel it off like a skin. Most of it should come off in one or two pieces. If it doesn't then you haven't put it on thick enough. It should be left on for at least 20 minutes. Afterwards you are left with a brow tint. This tint is lasting and saves you trips to salons for tinting or messing with your brows each day using wash off pencils powders or pomades. A time saver as once it's done it's done. The product seems thick gloopy and yuck but it delivers good results if you get the hang of it. Looks like a mascara or liquid eyeliner tube. I leave mine on longer and get longer results than 3 days.

Really happy with this product. Within 10 mins brows are tinted super quick. Key is to get the application just right! Make sure to choose the right colour as this does not wash off, it does exactly what it says. Peel off tattoo, stays on for about 2 days.

Yessss I love this product!

when it is described as a game changer I totally agree. I have relatively full brows but I still like to fill them in every day. When I used this product I didn't fill them in, I only used a clear brow gel and they looked so good!

This tint is super easy to use, it comes with a little brush on applicator which I think is super easy to use, you need to put on a decent amount to be able to peel it off properly. I wasn't that good at drawing it on completely my eyebrows but that doesn't matter it doesn't seem to stain the skin around the brows so it is all good! You just leave it on your brows for 20 mins and then peel it off and you are good to go!

This tint left my brows looking really really good. I think for me it probably lasted about 2 days but I wash my face twice a day and so I think if you made an effort to wash around the brows or less then it would definitely last longer.

I don't usually get my brows professionally tinted so I can't compare to that but I don't know why you would with this product now, I feel like this product will give you the same result as a professional tint and you can do it at home whenever you want.

This product didn't have a strong smell or anything, I barely even noticed it was on my brows while it was developing so I am super happy with the way you use it.

This product was so easy to use, the colour was good!! (I had dark brown) I actually don't know if there is anything wrong with it or anything I would want to change to be honest.

If you are someone who gets their brows tinted all the time then I think definitely give this a go it might save you some money and time!!

I often ignore my brows. One of my biggest fears is making them look ridiculous instead of bold, so I often shy away from using a product in them, instead just brushing them out. But I have gaps and it can look quite underdone, so I decided to take the plunge with this product.

I love the packaging - it is very sleek (like a lot of the recent offerings from Maybelline, it feels like the brand is growing up). I must admit I was very intimidated before trying the product - I even made my friend try it first (she did offer!). However I’m very glad I took the plunge, as it was definitely not ‘too much’ (I was quite worried the end result would turn out something like how it looks before you actually peel of the formula, which quite frankly would be a disaster). In fact, I got the darkest colour as I have dark brown brows, and it wasn’t too much at all. I left it on for an hour as my friend tried for 30 minutes and didn’t find it dramatic enough. We also reapplied after one day - it didn’t last for 3 days. After applying it did itch slightly, however it is easy to apply, which means the application process is pretty pain free. For me, it didn’t come off in a nice few pieces which I was hoping for, rather in little bits so that was a bit tedious. I was left with brows looking more dark and fuller than how I started, so I was happy with that.

So it didn’t live up to its claim of long lasting results. However, I think I like the product enough for what it is without that feature - I prefer having to touch it up rather than having harsh long lasting brows. If you’re looking for something that does have more of a ‘wow’ factor this is probably not the product for you. However, if you want a product that will naturally amp up your look and are willing to put up with the application time, it will be a better fit. A product that does both (looks ‘natural’ while maintaining a tint over a few days) would be great, but I am a lot happier with this product than I expected, and I’m glad I put my hand up to trial it. I finally have a brow product that is going to get regular use!

I get my eyebrows tinted. Something I'd rather not do but my brows are so thin and non-existent I have to! When I read about this product - it sounded like a replacement for my salon tint - and time saver and great for the budget

The gel comes in a tube similar to a mascara container, just smaller. Colour for me was Light brown. Reading the instructions, they've kept to 3 steps and simple. Brush it on, let it dry, and peel off after at least 20minutes.

The product goes on in a similar consistency to PVA glue. It goes on easily and smoothly. I painted the whole brow until hairs were well covered and sitting flat. The thinner outer edge of the brow was harder to paint to a thinner line, but I used a cotton bud to clean up the edges, plucked a couple of stray hairs around the edges once I liked the application, and the brows looked great! Waiting for it to dry I barely noticed the product on, and it didn't feel like it was tightening as it dried, which I liked. It dries to a touch quite quickly too.

I left the gel on for about 40 minutes. When it came to remove - it came off surprisingly easy, I picked up an edge of the gel with my fingernail and then pulled the gel off, which came off in mostly one long piece, to reveal a perfectly shaped and filled in brow. Very little product was left behind, and again a finger nail can remove any little strands left behind.

My brows looked really good. I was impressed. My eyebrows looked a little darker, the gaps filled with colour and they looked even! I don't have thick eyebrows, so you could definitely see the product between the brows - but no different than using another brow product to fill the gaps, or straight after a salon brow tint. The next morning - I checked the mirror and they were as I left them, perfectly formed and filled. They didn't appear to have really faded (I hadn't washed my face since application).

That morning after washing my face I did notice a little fade. I hadn't taken great care to avoid the brows with my face wash. Despite the fade they looked filled still. The more noticeable aspect of the fading was that with the light brown, it was fading off to a slight auburn/orange tint on me, which I toned down a little with my bb cream over my brows. The next day I took more care with washing my face, but again the fading was continuing, and I knew I'd be needing to do the tint again the next day. In my experience the product lasted 2 days well, and 3rd day I was wanting to re-do it. The fade shade I wasn't totally fond of, but I could fix that I imagine by choosing a different shade - maybe medium brown or grey.

The fading aside - I love the product, and it's probably enough to give up the salon tinting to do it at home instead. I get a nice tidy brow each day without fumbling with pencil and other products. I can do it at night and have lovely brows ready in the morning! I really like it and will continue use.
