Maybelline Brow Tattoo Gel Tint Review

I was very excited about trying this product because I love beautiful brows but find it a real pain to keep them looking good. Maybelline claims that this product will create a look that will last for days. First and foremost - it does create a beautiful look BUT it doesn't last for days. That is the reason I only gave this product 3 stars.

Let's start with the application. It applies beautifully. The gel has a thick consistency. It goes on easily. The brush is easy to handle although a finer tip would have been better to fill in the tail of the eyebrow. I didn't experience any burning, itching or flaking. The colour (Grey Brown) was perfect for me - I have dark brown hair and this gave a beautiful dark brown ashy colour effect. I left it for 20 minutes and it peeled off without any discomfort or removing any hairs. The initial look was very nice - not too dark and not too blocky either. I was impressed. I didn't use any cleanser or makeup remover over my brows in the evening when I removed my makeup, only water - it is advised that no cleansing products should be used for 24 hours. Unfortunately the effect faded very quickly even though I avoided the area. I would have definitely repurchased this product if the effect was longer lasting. I just don't think having to wait for 20 minutes for a product to dry to create an effect that only lasts for a day or two is worth it. I will most probably not repurchase or recommend this product to others.

First impressions are great! Comes in a cute little compact box and looks great.

It is very easy to use with a little applicator brush and you just spread it over your eyebrows. Have to admit I really did put a lot on - all or nothing right!? I have tinted my eyebrows before at home and it usually ends up going everywhere, but with the applicator and gel consistency of the tint it stayed on perfectly.

After waiting twenty minutes I slowly peeled/scraped it off and voila. They were definitely darker but I didn't see a huge difference. My brows are normally quite dark and I used the grey brown colour which looked like the darkest from the pictures. It did fill in my brows which I liked.

It didn't last as long as I would have liked - about 2 days - but do have to remember that its only a temporary tint so in comparison to filling in my brows every day it is a much nicer solution.

I will definitely keep using it and purchase again - saves a lot of time, quick and easy to use and does a great job.

Thanks Br for the invite for this, i was a little scared i must say as i have quite light blonde/brown eyebrows and i darken them a little with a pencil everyday so i guess it was just habit and a wonder if it was going to be too dark. I first of all tried to get my eyebrows in shape and then i brushed the gel on, i totally freaked out as its really dark! My husband was like what!!!!! I left it on for nearly 20 minutes and pretty much spent the time going oh gosh what have i done, it has a little smell not to offensive but enough to notice. I still had a little few damp patches when i started to peel it off but it came off easy enough and while its a little darker than my pencil was i think i could get used to it. I have managed to make it last 4 days so far im on the 5th and it seems to still have a good colour each day has faded a little from the initial colour. Im pretty sure i will use it again but maybe before an event as i think i was worried everyone was looking at my eyebrows but they honestly weren't that dark lol.

Using this product I was apprehensive. But I have had my eye brows died before so knew what to expect. The packaging of this product was sophisticated and sleek. I found the application of the gel a little difficult as I wasn’t really sure how much I was to put on each eye brow so I had enough to pull off. The gel has quite a strong smell to it but not unpleasant enough to need to take off before the 20mins is up. After the 20mins I pulled off the gel. I was very scared that it wa going to take my eyebrows with it but all stayed put!!! Thank goodness! My eye brows where dark and striking. I found that they colour last really well too (3/4 days) if you are care not to scrub your face when washing. I didn’t get any irritation to the gel either whIch is a positive. This product is a great way to save money at the beauty therapist if you a keen to do it your self or to take away with you on holiday so your eyebrows are always looking perfect!

The Maybelline TattooBrow Gel Tint is packaged in a small box. I am testing the dark brown colour and was worried about how dark this would be, so was a little nervous about the very simple 3 step instruction on the outside of the box. 1. Apply it - very easy to apply. Just open and swipe the wand over your eyebrows until fully covered. Very easy to apply 2. Let it dry for at least 20 mins - my kids thought I looked hilarious for these 20 minutes. The product dried very well and my skin had no reactions. 3. Peel it - just peel off, this was surprisingly very easy, no hairs pulled out. I am absolutely loving the result of the tattoo brow gel tint. It has come out a nice natural brown colour. Very happy and now a convert, no longer need trip to beauty therapist for eyebrow tints.

This is such a great product. I found it easy to use and worked really well. It’s matching my eyebrows perfectly and holds up nicely. I will definitely be using this product all the time and recommending it to friends.

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

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.
