Maybelline Brow Tattoo Gel Tint Review

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.

I have never really used anything on my brows so this was extremely different for me. I have always wanted defined brows but have never had the time or the money to spend buying various products to see whether they worked or not.

When tryng this product for the first time I think I put too much on my brows as the product says you can peel it off after 20 minutes. However this wasn't the case for me the first time I used it. It was a little disappointing too because I had put on a face full of makeup and waited for the brow tint to dry. However I needed to remove it with warm water and cleanser. I think as time went on I got better at applying the product and it did peel off. I think it definitely gives you defined brows and it's only took 20 minutes for good results. The second time I tried it I left it on for around 45 minutes and the colour was definitely darker.

Consistency: This product definitely lives up to the gel consistency.

Smell: It also doesn't have an overall strong smell but it does still smell a little bit. However I didn't mind this too much.

Use: I seem to get around 3 days of the results. I don't mind what it looks like when it fades either. When it started to fade I would just put another application on. This worked fine and still looked good!

Results: It does what it says it's going to do! More defined brows and I'm in love with the result. I love the colour it's given my brows too.

Packaging: The packaging is cute and eye catching. Easy to read instructions especially for me being a newbe with these kind of products!

Price: I think the price is alright! I don't think it would last overly long for someone who wants to use it everyday.

Applicator: I think that this brush could be smaller. I struggled to stay in my brow and went out of the lines quite a bit. I feel like a smaller brush might be helpful for someone. Especially for someone who has had their eye brows threaded or are naturally thinner. This would help with applying the product more accurately.

Overall would definitely buy it again. I loved the results. I had people noticing a difference and they kept asking me if I'd had them professionally done. I would definitely recommend this product to friends also.

My brows and I have always had a love hate relationship... they unfortunately have a sparse shape that cannot be influenced by me, so most of the time I resort to filling them in with a crayon like pencil. That was until this bad boy product came into my life!

This product definitely surprised me, I had never used something so seemingly permanent (I know 3 days isn't too permanent but it was still scary). It was easy enough to use. However I wish the brush was a bit finer, I found it hard to get good defined lines, which resulted in a little bit too much in the brow department size wise. It applied like a tar and made me look like a cartoon character which I found amusing.

I wanted to really test it out so I left my medium brown colour on for an hour... it was perfect. Any longer and it probably would have been too dark. It was so satisfying peeling it off. Underneath my brows were defined, bold and how I would do them with pencil every morning. The mornings are so much less stressful because my brows are all ready to rock and roll.

This product lasted approximately 3 days before it had faded completely, although in the last day it seemed to have an orange like tone to it.

Regardless of this I will definitely continue to use this fine product!

I absolutely love the aesthetic of the package. The body of the tint is a matte black cylinder, and if someone were to see it in your purse would probably mistake it as a mascara. The bronze lid takes up nearly half of the actual body and is slightly reflective. When you twist it open, the applicator reminds me of a nail polish brush, but the formula smells a little like PVA glue, and looks like tar. It is definitely thicker than nail polish though, but I'm sure not as thick as actual tar.

When I first tried it, I did my right brow first. This is my first ever gel tint so I was quite shocked at the formula and how to apply. I felt like I shouldn't put too much just in case my brows ended up looking like black caterpillars. I removed it after 20 mins as per the instructions. I realised that I freaked out over nothing and actually more product is better. Since it is a tint, it’s literally supposed to just tint your brows and not fill them in like a pomade would. I tried to remove the gel on my right brow first but I think because I didn’t apply as thickly as I was supposed to, it hadn’t come off in one and go - I did scrape a bit, however the left one was more satisfying to remove which came off in one go.

Since it said not to wash around the area for 24 hours, I didn't use my usual face wash and opted for micellar water. However, the following day after showering it seemed like it had faded considerably which was disappointing as it claims it lasts for days and "gradually and evenly fade overtime". Side-eyeing you, Maybelline.

However I gave them the benefit of the doubt, and re-did my brows two days later, following more strictly to the 24 hour rule. This time around I was not afraid to layer much more, however once I did peel off the dried gel tint, the inner part of my brows did end up looking like black caterpillars! I had to use a spoolie to soften out the edges, but I was much happier with how my brows turned out as they did look quite defined. Unfortunately, the outer parts of my brows are a little more sparse so those weren't as defined (I made it work though, ha)!

After a day passed, I washed my face as per normal in the shower, and my brows still looked defined though a little more natural. I think we have to remember that this product is a "tint" after all, so of course you're not going to come out having instagram eyebrows.

Personally, I don't believe this lasts a few days. At best, I'd say 1-2 days even following the 24 hour no-washing-around-the-area rule. I'd say this works better for people who want to achieve a more natural brow look and/or have evenly sparse brows. I, unfortunately, am part of the slightly patchy brow crew so don't think tints alone would work for me.

Altogether, I would have rated this higher if it weren't for the false claims. I would not personally buy this, but instead recommend trying out korean brow tints which are much more affordable.

I was very excited about trying this product because I love beautiful brows but find it a real pain to keep them looking good. Maybelline claims that this product will create a look that will last for days. First and foremost - it does create a beautiful look BUT it doesn't last for days. That is the reason I only gave this product 3 stars.

Let's start with the application. It applies beautifully. The gel has a thick consistency. It goes on easily. The brush is easy to handle although a finer tip would have been better to fill in the tail of the eyebrow. I didn't experience any burning, itching or flaking. The colour (Grey Brown) was perfect for me - I have dark brown hair and this gave a beautiful dark brown ashy colour effect. I left it for 20 minutes and it peeled off without any discomfort or removing any hairs. The initial look was very nice - not too dark and not too blocky either. I was impressed. I didn't use any cleanser or makeup remover over my brows in the evening when I removed my makeup, only water - it is advised that no cleansing products should be used for 24 hours. Unfortunately the effect faded very quickly even though I avoided the area. I would have definitely repurchased this product if the effect was longer lasting. I just don't think having to wait for 20 minutes for a product to dry to create an effect that only lasts for a day or two is worth it. I will most probably not repurchase or recommend this product to others.

First impressions are great! Comes in a cute little compact box and looks great.

It is very easy to use with a little applicator brush and you just spread it over your eyebrows. Have to admit I really did put a lot on - all or nothing right!? I have tinted my eyebrows before at home and it usually ends up going everywhere, but with the applicator and gel consistency of the tint it stayed on perfectly.

After waiting twenty minutes I slowly peeled/scraped it off and voila. They were definitely darker but I didn't see a huge difference. My brows are normally quite dark and I used the grey brown colour which looked like the darkest from the pictures. It did fill in my brows which I liked.

It didn't last as long as I would have liked - about 2 days - but do have to remember that its only a temporary tint so in comparison to filling in my brows every day it is a much nicer solution.

I will definitely keep using it and purchase again - saves a lot of time, quick and easy to use and does a great 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.

Using this product I was apprehensive. But I have had my eye brows died before so knew what to expect. The packaging of this product was sophisticated and sleek. I found the application of the gel a little difficult as I wasn’t really sure how much I was to put on each eye brow so I had enough to pull off. The gel has quite a strong smell to it but not unpleasant enough to need to take off before the 20mins is up. After the 20mins I pulled off the gel. I was very scared that it wa going to take my eyebrows with it but all stayed put!!! Thank goodness! My eye brows where dark and striking. I found that they colour last really well too (3/4 days) if you are care not to scrub your face when washing. I didn’t get any irritation to the gel either whIch is a positive. This product is a great way to save money at the beauty therapist if you a keen to do it your self or to take away with you on holiday so your eyebrows are always looking perfect!

The Maybelline TattooBrow Gel Tint is packaged in a small box. I am testing the dark brown colour and was worried about how dark this would be, so was a little nervous about the very simple 3 step instruction on the outside of the box. 1. Apply it - very easy to apply. Just open and swipe the wand over your eyebrows until fully covered. Very easy to apply 2. Let it dry for at least 20 mins - my kids thought I looked hilarious for these 20 minutes. The product dried very well and my skin had no reactions. 3. Peel it - just peel off, this was surprisingly very easy, no hairs pulled out. I am absolutely loving the result of the tattoo brow gel tint. It has come out a nice natural brown colour. Very happy and now a convert, no longer need trip to beauty therapist for eyebrow tints.

This is such a great product. I found it easy to use and worked really well. It’s matching my eyebrows perfectly and holds up nicely. I will definitely be using this product all the time and recommending it to friends.
