L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Plumper Review

I'm definitely pleasantly surprised by this product - I only recently started actually paying attention to my brows (now it's one of the central parts of my daily makeup routine!), and so was curious to see how a mascara-like coloured brow gel would go. I am a natural blonde, but my eyebrows have always been darker, and so I decided to see if using the blonde shade would lighten them to give a better match to my hair.

For starters, the application is very easy - just brush along the brows to instantly tame them! It does leave them rather crunchy, but then at least I know they will stay in place! The colour of the gel did help lighten my brows, and I found the colour to be slightly lighter than the blonde L'Oreal Paris Superliner Brow Artist, which I also use.

Strangely, I did not notice a huge difference in the 'plumpness' of my brows - I have reasonably thick brows so this actually is not a huge issue for me, but I am curious as to how this works on sparse hair, as for me it leaves a very tell-tale colour on the skin rather than creating the illusion of hair.

At this stage, I will continue to use a brow pencil or the ELF brow kit to fill in the gaps, but am a fan of how well this keeps my brows in place over the day - no unruly caterpillars here for me!

I got the light to medium and I found it was too dark for me however it definitely made my brows look better they stood out and it gave them more definition and made them look a lot thicker, it was really simple to use and it didn't take long either and it looked like there was a slight metallic sheen to it, I tried it in the transparent version and it worked much better for me, it made my eyebrows thicker and nicer I really love the look.

I did love the idea of this product and was excited to see how it would work. Whilst in theory it should be perfect for my rather diminished eyebrows, it actually isn't. I did want it to work and tried several times to apply the gel, however I found it a bit wet and while trying to plump the brows I kept smudging and the effect wasn't good at all. I do think that if I had slightly more brow it would be a great product; its not shiny or sticky and basically not hard to apply. So don't let my views put you off! It's back to a pencil and brush for me.

This product on first trial was, yuck that is really wet and then dried feeling stiff. However, I think I was too keen and applied too much. The following days were much better. Made my centre half of the brow look much better, but my outer half of brow while looking a bit darker, not sure that it looked fuller. I will still use a bit of brow pencil on outer half before applying Brow Artist Plumper. Feel the brush needs more bristles on it, might give sparse brows a better look. But overall quite happy with look it gave my brows. I used the blonde in trial.

I personally didn't like this . The first time I used it I could actually feel the gel dry to a slightly tacky feel in my brows that I could feel as my face moved . Really strange. On subsequent uses I applied less and it seemed to fix that issue a bit. The applicator was awkward to use, especially around the thinner parts of my brow where it bled out onto my skin , but it got the job done. I love the elf 2 step brow product and this doesn't compare to that. The end result was pretty natural , almost so much that I don't see the point in bothering with it. Wouldn't purchase.

i really liked this product! It took me a day or two to get the hang of applying the gel to get the best result, but now I am a little more practiced it is definitely worth the extra step in the morning makeup routine!

I trialled the loreal brow plumper in transparent, and here are my thoughts;

- the tube is a good size and I could easily distinguish it from my mascara (a bonus for a makeup junkie with a full kit like me) -the application wand has a good sized brush with a narrow tip and a flared base, which is great for directing the product and then sweeping it through the brow - the gel is opaque on application and then dries clear so it is good to see where you have put it - I noticed more fullness in my brows immediately and was able to build up more gel for a fuller look - it is reasonably long wearing, I didn't notice any flaking or fading over the day. So all in all a good result! I would opt for a coloured gel on repurchase, just to avoid needing to shade my brows and then applying the gel, but overall I was pretty pleased.

I was lucky enough to be selected to trial this from Beauty Review and lets just say I was waiting by the letterbox until it arrived. I have been currently using the Australis tint my brow which is only a tinted setting gel.

My first impressions of this product in the store was that the blonde shade had glitter through the formula and that the brunette shade was too dark.

I selected the shade medium-deep and it is the perfect match. And I have been using this product on its own without using a pencil to fill my brows in beforehand to get accurate results.

From the first moment I applied this product I was in love and had to post a comparison photo to my instagram account so I could share with everyone the difference between my brows.

The gel formula slides through my brows without an issue. My brows with this product have hardly any patch less areas and thickens my brows without going overboard. This gel product does set very stiff but it doesn't budge throughout the day at all so you don't have to worry about losing your brows. I have found that the formula doesn't appear glittery in your brows and they set matte.

The packaging is quite plain but I do love how small the wand is as its the perfect size for doing your brows unlike some products who have a mascara wand for this type of product.

I would 100% recommend purchasing this product and will definitely repurchase it when my trial one has been used up.

I was so excited when I got the chance to try this product. Ive recently upped my brow game by getting my eyebrows tattooed.

I received the clear gel. I thought this product would just add even more awesomeness and really plump them up, after all that's in the name but it didn't do that at all.

I tried it fr a few day in a row, with and without a pencil product to see if there were better ways of using it. Unfortunately the results were all the same.

The gel felt sticky but dried ok, wasn't too stiff. I was worried it would go crispy like hairspray but it didn't. I even tested a few girls at work and the husband by just doing it to one brow, no-one could tell the difference.

I did like one thing about it, which was it does get the hairs nicely sculpted. I have long eyebrow hairs and I did keep them super tidy but that's not enough for me to re-purchase.

I would be interested to get the brown gel one to see if that's any better for me, but i'm not racing out to buy it.

Ok. So I have quite sparse brows, that and brown and blonde just like my lashes.

I tend to darken my brows to make them look fuller and one colour.

I received the transperant shade to trial.

I was really hoping for the Brunette, so I could fill in my brows.

So I thought I would try the gel under my usual brow powder.

Unfortunately it leaves the gel in pieces along my brows, I do not think this would be good on dark brows alone the gel is left behind.

Best for light brows.

The gel doesn't seem to set quickly and applying powder over top works ok.

I am going to purchase the Brunette to see how that one fills in the gaps in my brows.

The gel has a pleasant scent and is very easy to apply , the short mascara wand is very easy to use along the curve of the brow.

It's really like hair gel for the brows. :)

I received the clear l'oreal brow artist plumper. I am a bit of a brow fanatic at the moment, I have brow powder brow gels everything under the sun to create the perfect brow . All apart from a finishing product.

And this ladies is what a clear brow gel is, the final touch to your awesome brow look. Its really simple to use- it has a teeny tiny mascara like wand to simply brush the product through your brows.

This is great as it keeps your eyebrow hair in place for the entire day- say good bye to those annoying stray long fuzzy wuzzy brows! This is the product for you.

The only thing to be careful of is to not over apply the product- otherwise you can end up with stiff looking eyebrows and who wants those?no one!

The packaging of the product is deceiving as it is pretty much the same as a mascara tube- which is ideal for putting in your hand bag for any necessary top ups throughout the day.

Would I purchase?yes I would! Id like to be able to get my hands on the brow plumper for brunette- though im sure this will be difficult to obtain as this will no doubt be the new hype brow product. So once all the hype settles down I would love to give a coloured gel a shot- who knows you may be able to create a great brow from just a coloured gel and mascara wand- the possibilities are endless!
