Maybelline Brow Tattoo Gel Tint Review

I get my eyebrows tinted. Something I'd rather not do but my brows are so thin and non-existent I have to! When I read about this product - it sounded like a replacement for my salon tint - and time saver and great for the budget

The gel comes in a tube similar to a mascara container, just smaller. Colour for me was Light brown. Reading the instructions, they've kept to 3 steps and simple. Brush it on, let it dry, and peel off after at least 20minutes.

The product goes on in a similar consistency to PVA glue. It goes on easily and smoothly. I painted the whole brow until hairs were well covered and sitting flat. The thinner outer edge of the brow was harder to paint to a thinner line, but I used a cotton bud to clean up the edges, plucked a couple of stray hairs around the edges once I liked the application, and the brows looked great! Waiting for it to dry I barely noticed the product on, and it didn't feel like it was tightening as it dried, which I liked. It dries to a touch quite quickly too.

I left the gel on for about 40 minutes. When it came to remove - it came off surprisingly easy, I picked up an edge of the gel with my fingernail and then pulled the gel off, which came off in mostly one long piece, to reveal a perfectly shaped and filled in brow. Very little product was left behind, and again a finger nail can remove any little strands left behind.

My brows looked really good. I was impressed. My eyebrows looked a little darker, the gaps filled with colour and they looked even! I don't have thick eyebrows, so you could definitely see the product between the brows - but no different than using another brow product to fill the gaps, or straight after a salon brow tint. The next morning - I checked the mirror and they were as I left them, perfectly formed and filled. They didn't appear to have really faded (I hadn't washed my face since application).

That morning after washing my face I did notice a little fade. I hadn't taken great care to avoid the brows with my face wash. Despite the fade they looked filled still. The more noticeable aspect of the fading was that with the light brown, it was fading off to a slight auburn/orange tint on me, which I toned down a little with my bb cream over my brows. The next day I took more care with washing my face, but again the fading was continuing, and I knew I'd be needing to do the tint again the next day. In my experience the product lasted 2 days well, and 3rd day I was wanting to re-do it. The fade shade I wasn't totally fond of, but I could fix that I imagine by choosing a different shade - maybe medium brown or grey.

The fading aside - I love the product, and it's probably enough to give up the salon tinting to do it at home instead. I get a nice tidy brow each day without fumbling with pencil and other products. I can do it at night and have lovely brows ready in the morning! I really like it and will continue use.

When I first heard about this product as someone who has only recently started including eyebrows into my daily routine I thought tattoo brow sounded scary. But I bit the bullet and bought it.

The steps are super simple 3 easy to follow steps. The gel is quite thick and I found the applicator abit thick. I opted to use an angled brush on the tail of my brows to get a more precise application.

You can definitely notice a difference once removed after 20 minutes but I do on occasions still feel the need to fill them in. I use the shade medium brown and its a pretty good match

I am fairly impressed with this product but not sure if I am completely won over; so will review as follows. I really like the plain and simple packaging; minimalistic but smart. The box has step by step instructions on it, showing you how to apply and remove. The wand pulls out easily and you've got quite a thick brush on which the brow gel clings too, so you can brush it on. Putting the gel on will take a bit of practice. i found it easy enough but will have to practice how to get it precisely on my brows and not on my skin, as I found, it does dye your skin as well. After the 20 mins I removed the gel. I'm not sure if I didn't put enough on as it didn't pull off as shown on the picture on the box, but it came off easily when I scrapped it off with my nail, and left nothing behind. You can definitely see colour on my brows and it's lasted well, throughout make up removal and showers. I think I would buy again for trips so I didn't have to worry about applying so much makeup everyday. Definitely an easy product to use.

When I heard about an amazing new product that stains your brows for THREE days, I rushed out to buy it. I've used this Brow Tattoo Gel Tint a few times now. I have the grey brown which is perfect - I love that they offer a grey shade because not all eyebrows are brown! Application can be a bit messy because the product is thick and applicator isn't too precise. I managed to make it work but I worry about the product becoming too thick after a few more uses. The product lasts almost three days for me. The only issue is that I can't wash my face for 24 hours after to ensure it sets. This means I have to carefully plan when I'll stain my brows and when I'll wash my face next. The one time I didn't wait 24 hours, the stain came off super easily. For the price, I feel like the tube is a bit small.

I think this would be it.

To set the scene I have blonde eyebrows! The irony of it is I spend hundreds, THOUSANDS probably getting my hair blonde and yet…I have to colour my eyebrows the exact opposite.

Long story short if I don’t colour my eyebrows I look like i’m mentally challenged. Thus i’ve been tinting them since well, whenever.

Usually I do it myself at home with a professionally sourced product, but there’s more than a bit of faffing around by the time you do the mixing, developing, applying and cleaning up, and my eyebrows bleach out really quickly too so I really need to do it every week to keep the depth of colour that I like.

This product has changed my life! You read it correctly. CHANGED MY LIFE.

It looks kind like a mascara but the brush is more like a nail colour brush. You paint it on your eyebrows (beware it looks quite alarming when it’s on) leave for 20-30 minutes, peel them off and Voila!! Just like that!

I love this product as it’s quick and easy to apply. I’ve got better at it as I go along and have managed to adjust the thickness and length of the application to suit me. I find it lasts a good 3-4 days so slightly shorter than tinting them the traditional way for me but the ease of application negates that small point BIG TIME.

Why hasn’t someone thought of this before? I wish they’d come up with an eyelash one! If I could give it 10/5 I would !

Next to teeth eyebrows are the most important feature we have on our face. They are so important that we should frame them for display purposes! I have sported multiple shades of blonde hair over my years, opted for different colour glasses frames and now & then gone all out with a season hot colour on my eyelids - but never ever have I messed with the colour of my dark brown almost black eyebrows. They are my presentation frames. OK I will admit I have over waxed and over tweezed my eyebrows more than I can count and sadly they no longer rival Brooke Shields, but I'm not at the stage that I need to draw them on daily... phew! (not yet anyway). So every 4 to 6 weeks my beautician tints my eyebrows. The first couple of weeks the colour is bold & I love it. But as with most things it starts to fade so i then add a bit of brow shade into my morning makeup routine. Admittedly I was very hesitant in applying this to my eyebrows but after talking my 16 year old daughter into giving it a go with me (and who prides her being on her eyebrows) I was happy to give it a whirl. The packaging is quite luxe, it's always nice when something looks expensive but really isn't. The instructions for application were simple to understand and applying the product was quite fun! We took out time putting a good thick coating on our eyebrows and wiping any excess off with a handy cotton tip. The instructions state to leave on for at least 20 minutes so we decided to leave it on for 45. We then got to the exciting part which was peeling off the dried gel (which didn't hurt in the slightest). WOW - totally impressed! The tint was perfect - we were both smiling from ear to ear with the results. It stayed dark for probably 2 to 3 days then started to fade but having the convenience of being able to tint your own eyebrows so simply and effectively far outweighs the tint endurance. This is now a staple product for us both.

I was a bit dubious when I first received this product, because of past experiences with brow products in general. I have Light brown eyebrows that also have blonde mixed in along with blonde hair so I've found that the lightest colours in a lot of brow products look way too dark for me and not in the least natural (which is something that is important for me). I got the light brown colour which I was worried would be too dark so when I applied this, I only put just enough on to make sure I didn't end up with slug brows. This meant it didn't exactly peel off like the instructions suggest, but I put that down to me not layering it on. I ended up with the PERFECT coloured brows! the blondes blended in seamlessly with the light brown hairs and they look so natural! This product is uber easy to use and produces a really nice result - my brows looked tidy for a few days afterwards which is such a win because it's a low maintenance and affordable product but it gives off a high end finish. All in all I will definitely keep using this regularly, it's so nice waking up with good brows.

I was so nervous to use this product actually because it says that it can stay on for days - so what if I mess it up and my face looks ridiculous for days right?? My fears were quickly eased when I just gave it a go. It’s very very easy to use. The applicator gives you a slightly runny paste texture and you just basically paint it along your natural brow line in the shape that you’d like. I didn’t do it in one swipe because I was being quite careful but once you’re used to it you could definitely do that.

You leave the product on for about 20 minutes while it dries. I think in future I will leave it on for longer because the product didn’t peel off as easily as I thought it would - it didn’t stick or pull which was great but it just came off in little bits.

The result was really great. I usually fill my brows in with a medium brown powder and the dark brown wasn’t too dark for me!

The results definitely fade after you wash your face and shower, which is expected, so for me it didn’t last the full 3 days with complete brows that I was expecting. However there was definitely colour in them for the whole time and I didn’t feel as though I needed to fill in my brows with brow powder during that time. For me, that’s the best thing. I usually fill in my brows everyday and if I can save myself one step in my mornings then that’s a definite win for me! I would recommend giving this a go if you like to fill in your brows daily as a replacement or if you’re in between brow appointments.

This little brow babe is not for me. The packaging is pretty and good size to put in your handbag/travel with.

The first time I applied this I had no idea how much to use. (instructions should be more in depth) I applied a thin amount in the shape I wanted and left for 20mins as it says. As I go to just 'pull' it off and have 'fantastic' brows! I was instead left with little bits that im trying to lightly scrap out of my brows. Really seemed like that annoying skin peel after getting burnt haha. Only to have the lightest faded brow outline. So I reapplied and this time used alot more product, (only after seeing the ad that shows how this is applied in a thick layer.) again left for 20mins and the same thing happend. I could see how this product would be perfect had it worked on me, Because the outline was nice but I did need to still fill them in because it didnt do this.

Are my brows not worthy enough? haha

I will say though it does last a couple of days even with washing my face etc.

For me this is a no go and I will continue to do them myself.

Arriving in an elegantly metallic bronze lidded mascara type tube with a nail polish style brush, the Brow Tattoo Gel Tint will not look out of place on the dresser. Opening the lid there is a slightly chemically smell that made me initially hesitant but my sensitive skin appears to be fine with the product. The product goes on easily but does need to be applied more thickly than you might think to be able to peel it as shown on the exterior sleeve. I found the Light Brown colour slightly too light for my taste and a touch on the orange side. That said, for a casual beach-y situation I would be able to go without eyebrow pencil and not look like I had no eyebrows! The having to remember not to use cleanser on the eyebrows for 24 hours is a complete pain and I keep forgetting meaning I have no good idea on how long the product really last. The fade is gentle and even so it doesn't really matter. I could see this being handy to pop for travel when trying to find somewhere to get tints done could be a problem. At home, I found it just messy and annoying enough that I probably wouldn't bother.
