L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Plumper

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.

Don't see the hype

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!

Tips: Don't apply too much product, the brush comes out with enough product to do a full brow

Different colors differ in formula

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 :)

Tips: Buy the coloured ones, not the clear one!!

Doesn't do much for me

I own the brow plumper in the transparent version. The product comes in a classy and elegant black and gold tube. The wand is very tiny, and doesn't pick up the clear mascara very well. It dries quite quickly, and slicks my eyebrows and helps them look a lot tidier. However, it does nothing to plump my eyebrows or add body. I probably wouldn't repurchase this again as it is quite expensive and doesn't really do much for me. I find the e.l.f clear brow mascara does the same job, for a quarter of the price.

Yeah, I liked the idea of it plumping my brows, but it didn't, no problem :)

I did wonder how a transparent one would work as it's supposed to add fibres... Good to know!

Great back-up option

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.

Tips: Check for clumps!

Brow plumper

Ok so I'm not one of those brow girls with amazing brows always looking on form.. That's not me, my eyebrows are the last thing i take care of on my face... Sad I know but my priorities are clean clothes and a simple made up face...(toddler in tow at every move) After a week of using this product which is classic mascara shape and size, my eyebrows now have a life of their own, a quick swipe with my brow plumper and they are more defined and stay in shape all day! ! I do love how it's easy and does what it says BUT can I live without it? Yes...and will it be on my forever shopping list?? No... It didn't really wow me :-(

It's a shame so many people got the transparent one, I feel like the colour is really what makes it a good product.

Forgot to add I got sent the transparent one, I had chosen brunette so maybe this is why I wasn't wowed by the product as it didn't give me any fill or added colour

Pretty good, not the best I have tried

First off - I was sent the transparent one to sample, and being very dark, I think perhaps this will affect my review somewhat (if I were to have bought the product I would have chosen the brunette shade)

The brush is the ideal shape and size for accurate application and the packaging quite attractive.

The gel was great for taming my brows and keeping them in place as long as I didn't touch them. I found one day that I had an itch and once I did that, the product seemed to have come off quite easily.

It's good for it's price range but I wouldn't be likely to try the transparent shade again or recommend it to a friend unless they are very blonde - and I didn't notice ANY 'plumping' effect at all. Worked like a brow gel, and I've found a better one made by ELF at a half the price.

So a touch disappointing to be honest, but good to have tried all the same.

Tips: Choose your shade carefully and you will likely have a better experience than me :)

Nice but not necessary

I was really excited to be picked for this trial, as it seems that eye brows are coming more and more into focus of today's beauty regimes. When I first tried out the L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Plumper I noticed a pleasant cooling effect. I applied two coats in an upwards, outwards movement and it accomplished a tidy look. During the day it stayed in form, but started to itch a little bit. Because I have dark brown eye brows I might not have noticed too much of an effect. I am sure women with lighter hair will benefit more from the product. In summary I would maybe not necessarily spend money to buy the product again.

Tips: Use the L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Plumper in a shade that matches your eye brow color, use it on dry hair and don't use too much. Upwards, outwards strokes seem to work best.

This isn't the best product for me

I bought this brow plumper in medium/dark from beauty bliss. I'd seen it talked about on here but I also needed to buy something for about $20 to get free shipping so I went with this product! I've only used clear brow gels before so getting something tinted and also with fibres in it is very new to me.

First off, the colour. I was sort of worried it might be really warm and only a mid brown. It's a very cool toned darker brown which is great. I have black dyed hair but even with my naturally warm hair, I hate having warm brows!

Packaging wise, this comes in a nice silver tube that looks very sleek. It's a very similar size to a mascara tube. The cap is dark brown, I'm not sure if the cap changes depending on what colour you buy. I've used this a lot and none of the writing has worn off which is good too, then you don't get it mixed up with any other makeup product. This has a reasonably small wand, it's around 1cm long and is thinner at the top than what it is at the base. Sort of how a tree goes. I do wish it was even smaller. Because this is a tinted product, you have to be more careful and not get product on your skin, a smaller brush would just make things so much easier!

I have tried to use this on its own but I really don't like how it makes my brows look. I have what I would class as medium thick brows but I have a lot of sparse gaps especially near the tail end. This does a great job at clinging to hair, but if you don't have hair in places it just looks really weird. The few times I did use it on it's own took me 2 or 3 times as long as I usually take and just looked messy in not a good messy brow way. How I use it now is I pencil my brows in first and then I use the tip of this to set everything in place in the middle part of my brow. I don't use it on either end as again, I just feel like it doesn't look right.

I find this product sets quite quickly and won't budge but you have to be careful to spread the product out or it kind of bunches up in places. I can definitely see fibres on the wand but I don't really notice any plumping effect to my brows, I do wipe most of the product off before I use it though so it doesn't look too much in my brows. I don't get any crunchiness to my brows, but to be honest that wouldn't bother me at all. I don't touch my brows during the day. This lasts all day and doesn't flake or run.

I don't think this product is made for me. I also don't think it's a bad product. I think if you have naturally thicker brows and you want something to fill them in a little and keep them in shape, this would be perfect for you. I'll keep using this as I am but I wouldn't repurchase it.

Not too fussed.

I was lucky enough to be given the Medium/dark brow plumper, and was excited that i could try it before it hit the shelves. I love the thought of quick easy brows, as im lazy at the best of times with them. At first i didnt really know if i was using it correctly, as i didnt see any difference, other than my brows were stuck in place. After a couple of weeks or so of using it, i really couldnt love it, i watched tutorials on how to apply it, and i was using it correctly, but for me it was just not cutting the mustard unfortunalty. It may have been my brows that were the problem, but i couldnt see any more 'fullness' that i was hoping for. it was like the fibres didnt stick. another thing is if you look really closely, i could see sparkles, yes i said sparkles, well more like a really fine glitter on my brows. I asked my workmate as well if she saw them on hers and yes, she had glitter too. My guess is the fibres are the sparkly things which is meant to give you the 3D look, but it just wasnt what i was expecting. I really wanted to love this, but i cant. I will However, reccommend to people, as i think i am just one person with an opinion, I do no of others who love this. This product had potential of been amazing 'for me', but not at this moment. I may give it another go one day, but for now, i will stick to lazy brows. I hope this is better for others xx

Tips: Try before you buy, use small strokes and take your time. xx

I kind of like this product, but found that when I was taking photos with my eye up to the camera, that the little fibres rubbled off onto my camera! Such a shame...I think that I would have worn it daily if that didn't happen!

I noticed that when I swatched the blonde one but hopefully the medium/dark is sparkly on my brows. I am looking forward to trying this product as I have the australis tint my brows which is good for the price
