I am currently on my 3rd tube of this, I made a brief deviation over to Dior’s and MAC’s version, both which are just as great at this. In fact, they are exactly the same, but at almost double / triple the price, hence why I decided to come back to and stay with Maybelline.
The gel used is clear, and is applied with the brush supplied. It helps tame messy brows and helps keep them styled throughout the entire day (so long as you don’t touch them!!) They will make your brows feel a little hardened, but if you aren’t touching them it should be fine. Your brows won’t appear to have any product on them at all.
Unfortunately for the ultra stubborn strands this only sometimes works 🙁 But the ickiest part is the level of contamination that can occur. Even if you don’t have any other makeup on your face, you are still picking up any oils on your face and dunking it back into the clear tube, which over time will turn into a murky cloudy colour. Appealing, I know 😛
I recommend this for people who don’t need to fill in their brows, as applying this over filled in brows is likely to hasten the contamination problem. Or you could just be prepared to change out the tube more often 🙂
So tell me, do you use a clear grow gel? If so, what kind?
Actually, I’ve gone back to spraying hairspray on an old brow comb and using that! The brow comb is from a brow pencil I got from Daiso that I’ve finished (how do you hit pan on a pencil…?), so I feel ultra thrifty. Though I feel like maybe I overpluck nowadays, because the Daiso pencils are so good at filling in my brows, I am not scared to pull out the stubborn ones XD;;;
Yes! I love DIY methods 😀 I’m so scared of over plucking ;_; I did that a few years ago and I constantly looked angry in photos >___<
I’ve only ever used a clear mascara from Australis but it never seems to dry properly. I definitely want to get this Maybelline one as I’ve been looking for a wallet friendly brow gel.
Really? What happens? It just stays wet? I’m not a total fan of it drying hard to be honest, but at least it stays in place 🙂 And it is indeed very makeup bag friendly!
I use a Natio clear mascara. Love it.
Nice, I’ll have to give it a shot~ I love supporting Australian brands 🙂
