Maybelline Brow Tattoo Gel Tint Review

I think this would be it.

To set the scene I have blonde eyebrows! The irony of it is I spend hundreds, THOUSANDS probably getting my hair blonde and yet…I have to colour my eyebrows the exact opposite.

Long story short if I don’t colour my eyebrows I look like i’m mentally challenged. Thus i’ve been tinting them since well, whenever.

Usually I do it myself at home with a professionally sourced product, but there’s more than a bit of faffing around by the time you do the mixing, developing, applying and cleaning up, and my eyebrows bleach out really quickly too so I really need to do it every week to keep the depth of colour that I like.

This product has changed my life! You read it correctly. CHANGED MY LIFE.

It looks kind like a mascara but the brush is more like a nail colour brush. You paint it on your eyebrows (beware it looks quite alarming when it’s on) leave for 20-30 minutes, peel them off and Voila!! Just like that!

I love this product as it’s quick and easy to apply. I’ve got better at it as I go along and have managed to adjust the thickness and length of the application to suit me. I find it lasts a good 3-4 days so slightly shorter than tinting them the traditional way for me but the ease of application negates that small point BIG TIME.

Why hasn’t someone thought of this before? I wish they’d come up with an eyelash one! If I could give it 10/5 I would !

Ok so what i liked was the ease of application. Unlike using standard brow tint if you don't have the right brush we can end up with tint everywhere else but out eye brows.

The consistency of the gel was of medium thickness and was cool feeling when applied to my brows . That cooling feeling was nice as id just waxed my brows in preparation of trailing this product.

I was given the darkest shade which suited me as my eyebrows are naturally dark. I am a platinum blonde and like my brows to stand out.

I left the product on for the advised 20 minutes and found the consistency changed and was tacky and sticky upon removal. Little bit gross but it did come off in one peel.

It tinted my skin so you would definitely wash your face and apply before a shower. The colour lasted around two days maybe next time i will leave the product on longer.

Good product for those wanting to try a less permanent version of a brow tint

I’m in love with the formula of this product,

I carve out my brows with super light concealer before I apply this so I can make sure both my brows match then fill it in with the gel, the colour light brown was a perfect match for my brows with no auburn cast.

I love that it dries and can peel it off, no need for water or messing up the rest of my face. It peels off easily and leaves behind a soft natural tint which I find lasts a good few days (yusss)

My biggest peeve is the brush applicator it’s self, I find it a bit clunky and hard to get a super sharp line on my brows, (esp the tail area) but I just apply and wipe away any excess with a q tip which works fine but would love to see it maybe come with another brush for precise application. Overall I love that this makes my life easier.

This has also given my mum some new brows, I applied this on her brows and it has been amazing as she hasn’t had brows for the last 20 years from over plucking. She is thrilled with the results, It’s a game changer for so many people.

Next to teeth eyebrows are the most important feature we have on our face. They are so important that we should frame them for display purposes! I have sported multiple shades of blonde hair over my years, opted for different colour glasses frames and now & then gone all out with a season hot colour on my eyelids - but never ever have I messed with the colour of my dark brown almost black eyebrows. They are my presentation frames. OK I will admit I have over waxed and over tweezed my eyebrows more than I can count and sadly they no longer rival Brooke Shields, but I'm not at the stage that I need to draw them on daily... phew! (not yet anyway). So every 4 to 6 weeks my beautician tints my eyebrows. The first couple of weeks the colour is bold & I love it. But as with most things it starts to fade so i then add a bit of brow shade into my morning makeup routine. Admittedly I was very hesitant in applying this to my eyebrows but after talking my 16 year old daughter into giving it a go with me (and who prides her being on her eyebrows) I was happy to give it a whirl. The packaging is quite luxe, it's always nice when something looks expensive but really isn't. The instructions for application were simple to understand and applying the product was quite fun! We took out time putting a good thick coating on our eyebrows and wiping any excess off with a handy cotton tip. The instructions state to leave on for at least 20 minutes so we decided to leave it on for 45. We then got to the exciting part which was peeling off the dried gel (which didn't hurt in the slightest). WOW - totally impressed! The tint was perfect - we were both smiling from ear to ear with the results. It stayed dark for probably 2 to 3 days then started to fade but having the convenience of being able to tint your own eyebrows so simply and effectively far outweighs the tint endurance. This is now a staple product for us both.

When I first tried this I used it quite sparingly and found the application was easy. I think it would be better if the brush was a tad bit smaller and more defined. Because I used it quite sparingly I found that the result was good but not as dark as I expected it to be. I tried it again 2 days later and this time I was really generous with how much I used. I left it on for around 25mins. To remove the product i xoydlnt peel it off like the box showed. Instead I had to brush it off with an eyebrow brush. It was easy to remove and didn't pull any of my eyebrow hairs out. The result of my 2nd application was way better and I really liked it. I found it did last the 3 days and faded evenly so I was eased by that. Overall I will definitely reuse and repurchase. It's a great product for what it is and saves me time from filling in my brows in the morning. However if you were wanting a precise, perfect application you would need to still use a pencil or brow pomade.

Back in the good old days I over-plucked and now struggle to get them thicker again so I'm one of those lucky ladies that has to do their eyebrows on a daily basis to not look permanently worried/surprised. Pencil and powder just won't last throughout the day but this stuff will last the distance. Easy to apply using the little wand and easy to fix with a bit of Micellar water to fix any mistakes. Apply in the areas required leave to dry and peal off, just that easy! I have sensitive oil/combination skin and get KP and have had no reactions to the ingredients!!!!! Highly recommend pealing it in the direction of your eyebrow hair, less difficult if like me you keep the hair long rather than trimming it. I have a pretty intensive skincare routine to keep it in check so I have to make sure I remove it from my skin everyday but my friends who also use it have said when they wake up the next day its still there and can be there for a few days if they haven't cleansed their brow area. I only leave it on for about ten minutes (I have pale/olive coloured skin and use the light brown tint) brush my teeth while I'm waiting and it seems to be plenty for the job.

Thanks Br for the invite for this, i was a little scared i must say as i have quite light blonde/brown eyebrows and i darken them a little with a pencil everyday so i guess it was just habit and a wonder if it was going to be too dark. I first of all tried to get my eyebrows in shape and then i brushed the gel on, i totally freaked out as its really dark! My husband was like what!!!!! I left it on for nearly 20 minutes and pretty much spent the time going oh gosh what have i done, it has a little smell not to offensive but enough to notice. I still had a little few damp patches when i started to peel it off but it came off easy enough and while its a little darker than my pencil was i think i could get used to it. I have managed to make it last 4 days so far im on the 5th and it seems to still have a good colour each day has faded a little from the initial colour. Im pretty sure i will use it again but maybe before an event as i think i was worried everyone was looking at my eyebrows but they honestly weren't that dark lol.

I must admit, I was a little skeptical about this product and my brows are something I don't like to tamper with too much. I have tried and true products I use on them that I know are going to deliver and keep me strong in my brow game.

My brows were thick when I was younger, but as I've gotten older (and after having 3 kids and my hair falling out) they are now quite patchy. One of my browns just has no arch anymore so I fill them in with brow pomades, pencils and brow mascara.

I applied the Maybelline Brow Tattoo easily, following the instructions to the tee. When I peeled it off I was a little worried it would pull my brows off, but it didn't. And WOW my brows looks amazing! Even the top of my missing arch was back! The colour was perfect and it lasted 3 days just like it said on the box.

I'm definitely getting some backups of these - they're amazing!!!

This product was interesting. Interesting concept and interesting results.

Don't get me wrong the comcept is great, especially for those pinched for time You could apply and peel Sunday night, and theoretically have perfect brows until Wednesday. Theoretically...

The application was a little nerve wrecking. It is a thick viscose liquid applied with a brush tip applicator. I found I had to have very steady hands and courage when applying it, one slip and the consequences could have been a monobrow. The brush filament was, in my opinion, a little too long and much to soft. Any pressure applied just splays the filament, thick with goo threatening to go over the edges of the perfect brow lines and into More of a large set of caterpillars. If anyone has had trouble with liquid eyeliner, and thickens it to hide the mistake should beware the same could very easily happen here.

The waiting for the application to dry was scary, I looked in the mirror at my jet black painted on brows and felt a tinge of nervousness, hoping my brow result would be more natural and less scouser. Especially if it were to last 3 days... might have to call in sick for work. After 20 minutes the solution had dried to a gum consistency and easily peeled off without tugging, or ripping on the hair which is a huge plus from me and the result was fantastic. One brow was slightly darker than the other, but very natural looking and the result gave the appearance of being expertly manicured. I went to bed and joked that I might wake up with brows on my pillow.. you'll be glad to know they stayed perfectly in place on my face, which was just as well as I was running late for work so I didn't have time to throw my face together. At work I had a bunch of compliments from coworkers and they didn't even realise my face was naked under those perfect face frames. That arvo the brows started to 'let go' rubbing off slightly and by the next day after a shower they were gone completely. So the result lasted overnight and most of the next day for me.

I would recommend this product as much as I would recommend just filling in with eyeshadow or a soft hue pencil. At least if a mistake is made with the latter options you can fix it. But for lazy make up routines this is a good product to have.... Especially if you have the steady hands of a surgeon and patience of a saint.

It comes in a small tube with applicator brush as I mentioned above. I'm skeptical as to how many applications are in the tube. I will keep using it until I use it up and reassess my thoughts on it at a later date. For now my opinion is reserved on if it's winner or sinner.

Firstly, a huge thanks to the crew at Beauty Review for sending me this product to trial.

A brow tattoo gel, I really was not sure about this but I was prepared to give it a go!

My brows are a huge part of my face and are the one thing that I make sure that are on point. I usually use a powder to do my brows so this was a totally new concept to me.

This tattoo gel comes in a tube, similar to a mascara,. You unscrew the lid and there is a brush with product on.

I chose the medium brown and the colour on the brush looks quite dark, but it all ends up ok.

You apply the gel to clean brows. I just followed the shape of my brows which I had just had shaped so I was off to a good start. The gel goes on smoothly and you leave it on for at least 20 minutes. I did that exactly because I was quite nervous as it was dark and I had visions of these super dark brows and wondering how to hide them!

So I peeled the gel off, it was not hard but it would have been easier if I had put a thicker coat on, but we live and learn. This revealed the most amazing coloured brows, well shaped and good to go!

In the morning I did my usual make up and had absolutely nothing to do with my brows, nothing!

This first application lasted three days which I was more than happy with. I will continue using this brow product and will repruchase it, I actually think this could be my Holy Grail brow product!
