Maybelline Brow Tattoo Gel Tint Review

I was super excited for this product as it’s something that would make life so much easier if it worked! And it definitely did. I could not be happier with the results.

The shade I received was grey brown and it was the perfect shade for me. I have black hair on pretty fair/normal skin so anything too dark and black would look too striking so i was really happy that this wasn't too intense but just enough. I'd definitely recommend this shade for people who have more dark grey hairs that aren't black enough.

The applicator is super easy to apply and if you need more precision just use an angle eyeliner brush but I feel like the applicator it comes with is fine. I was a bit skeptical at first because it seemed kinda flimsy and I think if you have quite thin brows the applicator it comes with wouldn't work for you.

The pigment is a bit intense at first and I thought it would be streaky but the results were so good. I did think it was a bit too intense so all I did was just go in with a cotton bud and just smudge it a bit to tone it down. After washing my makeup off for the first day I did notice a tint left over but wasn't what it was like on the example as I definitely did not have as much product left. It was more of a hint of product rather than gradually toning down. There are days where I don't wear makeup and I think this is a great product for someone that prefers natural everyday makeup as it still looks like they're sort of filled in

Absolutely no complaints about this product at all and will save me time in the morning as I now won’t have to do full brows everyday. I also only left it on for 30 minutes and found that the results were good. Not entirely sure if the period of time you leave it on will affect the result or not.

Overall I enjoyed the product and it's something I'd use a weekly basis for sure!

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.

Imagine you're a pale lady with very cool toned skin, searching high and low for a greyish brow product. Imagine the excitement of hearing that there's a grey based tint that lasts for days. Imagine having all your hopes shattered to pieces 5 hours after trying it out. Yup that's me.

Firstly the packaging: it's a small, mascara sized tube with a screw on lid. The brush is relatively short, like a nail polish brush. Problem no.1 arises- How am I supposed to draw my eyebrows with a sharp finish using this clumsy wide brush??? In the end I made a 'stencil' by sticking cellotape around my eyebrows in the shape I wanted. It was sticky to apply, and in order for it to last long I did a very thick coat. It didn't shift or drip while drying, and I happily went about my business for 2 hours with comically bold eyebrows.

It was easy to peel off going from the centre towards the outside, and didn't hurt at all. I was really excited to see that the tint was even and dark brown, the perfect shade! But as I wore this throughout the day, the heat made my face start to get oily and the tinted brows became very shiny. Like I had just put oil on my skin kind of shiny. I end up putting dark eyeshadow over it to try matte it out.

I'll admit I really liked the shade when I first peeled it. But alas, that night as soon as I washed my face it faded... to warm brown! I was shocked when I looked in the mirror at my very brown, light colored brows. I have black hair, so the orangy brown tinge looked ridiculous on me. What's worse, I had to suffer through crazy eyebrows for another 4 days! This does indeed last long, but from day two onwards the colour is completely different. I wouldn't mind if I had brown hair, but I ended up having to draw over the tint with my normal charcoal shade brow pencil every day till it faded completely.

I can see the attraction if you've naturally light brows, and it is very satisfying to use. But my oh my was I wrong when I thought this was grey brown!

I was excited to try this product, even though I already have microbladed eyebrows - which have faded to a reddish tone (they do need touched up). I got the Dark Brown Brow Tint. This applied really easily. I was concerned I might get wonky brows. And the colour was too dark. After 20 minutes I start peeling off, and was amazed with how fantastic my brows looked. I really wanted to test how long this would last without reapplying. By day 3 they had gone a reddish tone, and was quite noticeable, so I had to reapply. This however doesn’t put me off. I love that I don’t need to worry about my brows for a few days. And when it fades I can just reapply. This product will definitely be one of my Must haves (that is until I get my brows microbladed again). Most definitely love this product and the ease of use! And at its rrp I totally will buy it in future!

I couldn’t wait to open the packaging and get this stuff on my brows. Hilarity ensued when I did get said stuff on brows- it took a while as I found the applicator not precise enough for defining the shape I wanted. I had to ad-lib using cotton buds and also baby wipes. The consistency was a little too liquid for me, but I am not sure whether that was heat affected in this weather. After leaving on for the directed time it peeled away nicely and I was left with darker, more defined brows and didn’t have to wear brow pencil or powder for at least three days. Bonus.

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!

My first thought of this product was that it is very similar to the ETUDE HOUSE Tint My Brows Gel (one of my favourites) so I was interested to try out a western version of the peel off brow tattoo. Essentially this tints the skin of your brow and is supposed to last for around three days. Since I love cleansing my face I was eager to find out if this would actually last that long. The instructions for this product is fairly simple with only 3 steps. All you have to do is apply it, wait for it to dry and then peel it off. I thought the applicator would have made applying this product difficult as it is similar to a brush tip lip gloss applicator, but it was surprisingly easy. I do have quite thick brows though so those with thinner brows may find it difficult. I accidentally left it to dry for about an hour (suggests drying time should be at least 20mins) and it hadn't irritated the skin. After peeling it off my brows looked very nice, a bit too strong for a no make up day but it fades very nicely. The tint from this product lasted very well through the heat and also through swimming. My only con is that there isn't very much product and considering you have to keep dipping back in you end up going through this very quickly.

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!!!

I have absolutely fallen in love with this product, I am so happy this has come in to my life - I no longer need to spend the extra money to get my brows tinted when I get my wax done!

This was genuinely SO easy to use. I have pretty full brows to begin with, but the hairs near the tail of my brows are very thin and very blonde, so I am always having to tint the hairs and fill my brows in during my daily makeup routine. This brow tattoo tinted the hairs and I think possibly the skin underneath, meaning I don't even need to fill my brows in when I have this on! I did my brows this morning and all I did was line them so they were a bit sharper, but I haven't needed to fill in any thin bits because the tint has done such an excellent job!

I did do two layers of this just to be sure, because the first layer I put on was pretty thin and I didn't think I had enough coverage, I left the product on for 25 mins and am so happy with the results, it does say you can leave it on for up to 2 hours, so I can imagine if you did leave it on even longer that the results would be even better. It's super easy to peel off and no need to wipe any excess product away either, because it just peels off! I've had this product on for 3 days now and it's still going strong!

This is definitely a 10/10 for me and I can't wait to repurchase. I've added photos to the photo wall of before, during and after.

MAYBELLINE BROW TATTOO GEL TINT

1. PACKAGING: The product comes in a small box, on the box you can find the listed ingredients, a list of "caution" notes, the shade name, the claims of the product, and an easy to follow step by step with photo's as well . . . all of this on such a small box, I am impressed!! Inside the box you will find a tube that holds the magical product. It has a shiny bronze colour screw cap and a matte black base that is clearly labelled with the product name. When you screw off the cap it has a small brush coated in product.

2. THE PRODUCT: The product is a thick consistency and as described is very gel like.

3. HOW TO USE IT: I have followed the box instructions by applying the product to clean brow, sweeping the product along the natural brow hairs, then letting the product dry for at least 20 mintues, the peeling the product off. But I tried a different method the 2nd time I tested it as the first time seemed to be abit messy and one brow looked way more thicker than the other. So I then decided to start off by making sure my brow area was clean and ready to go, I used a makeup brow spoolie to comb through my brow hairs. I then used a eyeliner kohl pencil to mark out my brows (I also used an Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Stencil as a guide), once I was happy with the brow shape, I used a cotton bud/ Q-tip to apply a thin layer of a balm around the outline of the brow marking that I made with the eye pencil (this acts as a barrier so the tint doesn't stain outside the line), I then apply then gel tint starting 1/3 in from my nose, I apply the product heavy to the tail part of my brow, once there is less product on the brush I go back and lightly apply product to the inner part of my brow as I prefer the gradient brow look. I set my phone's timer for 20 minutes, once the time is up I check to see if the product has tried down before peeling it off starting to peel from the tail of my brow inwards. I then use a spoolie to sweep through the brows to make sure the product has been removed. I then used a cotton pad and a small drop of makeup remover to clean up around the brows where the brow stencil markings were placed. I found this method worked great for me.

4. MY FINAL THOUGHTS: I was so excited to receive this product to test out. So I had great expectations of this product. I received the shade GREY BROWN which was an excellent colour match. After finding a different method that suited me I really like this product. There is only a couple of things I didn't like and that was the brush . . . I wish the brush was more of a brow brush than a nail polish type of brush also if the brush was a little more denser. The other thing is that I wish it lasted longer . . . I find that if I wear makeup and then wash my makeup off at the end of the day the brow tint also gets taken off.

OVERALL RATING: 8.5/10
