Maybelline Brow Tattoo Gel Tint Review

This product was interesting. Interesting concept and interesting results.

Don't get me wrong the comcept is great, especially for those pinched for time You could apply and peel Sunday night, and theoretically have perfect brows until Wednesday. Theoretically...

The application was a little nerve wrecking. It is a thick viscose liquid applied with a brush tip applicator. I found I had to have very steady hands and courage when applying it, one slip and the consequences could have been a monobrow. The brush filament was, in my opinion, a little too long and much to soft. Any pressure applied just splays the filament, thick with goo threatening to go over the edges of the perfect brow lines and into More of a large set of caterpillars. If anyone has had trouble with liquid eyeliner, and thickens it to hide the mistake should beware the same could very easily happen here.

The waiting for the application to dry was scary, I looked in the mirror at my jet black painted on brows and felt a tinge of nervousness, hoping my brow result would be more natural and less scouser. Especially if it were to last 3 days... might have to call in sick for work. After 20 minutes the solution had dried to a gum consistency and easily peeled off without tugging, or ripping on the hair which is a huge plus from me and the result was fantastic. One brow was slightly darker than the other, but very natural looking and the result gave the appearance of being expertly manicured. I went to bed and joked that I might wake up with brows on my pillow.. you'll be glad to know they stayed perfectly in place on my face, which was just as well as I was running late for work so I didn't have time to throw my face together. At work I had a bunch of compliments from coworkers and they didn't even realise my face was naked under those perfect face frames. That arvo the brows started to 'let go' rubbing off slightly and by the next day after a shower they were gone completely. So the result lasted overnight and most of the next day for me.

I would recommend this product as much as I would recommend just filling in with eyeshadow or a soft hue pencil. At least if a mistake is made with the latter options you can fix it. But for lazy make up routines this is a good product to have.... Especially if you have the steady hands of a surgeon and patience of a saint.

It comes in a small tube with applicator brush as I mentioned above. I'm skeptical as to how many applications are in the tube. I will keep using it until I use it up and reassess my thoughts on it at a later date. For now my opinion is reserved on if it's winner or sinner.

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.

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.

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 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 lucky to be selected for this product. I had heard a lot about this product, so was interested to give it a try.

First impressions is that I liked the container, black with a brown/gold metallic lid. It comes with a brush like tip. To be honest, I was not really sure how this would turn out, wondering if it would be too dark as i chose the darkest colour! The instructions said to apply the gel to my natural eye brow shape and leave on for a minimum of 20 mins. The finally peel off.

I found this really easy to apply to the shape of my eyebrow. It looked really dark, but apparently it would be lighter once I peeled it off. I was really surprised how easy this was to take off, I think this is due to the Royal Jelly and Aloe Vera ingredients. And it did not pull out any of my hairs! I was a little disappointed that my brows weren't as dark as I would have liked, but I think next time I will leave it on for longer. It looked natural, but not defined.

Over a few days, the tint began to fade. And I did the same process, but left it on for 30mins this time. That made a differce and my brows seemed darker, and the tint lasted a little longer.

I did this on my friends and they liked it, I think it is good for a temporary tint and natural look and I still filled my eyebrows with powder. To define them a bit more :)

Back in the good old days I over-plucked and now struggle to get them thicker again so I'm one of those lucky ladies that has to do their eyebrows on a daily basis to not look permanently worried/surprised. Pencil and powder just won't last throughout the day but this stuff will last the distance. Easy to apply using the little wand and easy to fix with a bit of Micellar water to fix any mistakes. Apply in the areas required leave to dry and peal off, just that easy! I have sensitive oil/combination skin and get KP and have had no reactions to the ingredients!!!!! Highly recommend pealing it in the direction of your eyebrow hair, less difficult if like me you keep the hair long rather than trimming it. I have a pretty intensive skincare routine to keep it in check so I have to make sure I remove it from my skin everyday but my friends who also use it have said when they wake up the next day its still there and can be there for a few days if they haven't cleansed their brow area. I only leave it on for about ten minutes (I have pale/olive coloured skin and use the light brown tint) brush my teeth while I'm waiting and it seems to be plenty for the job.

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 often ignore my brows. One of my biggest fears is making them look ridiculous instead of bold, so I often shy away from using a product in them, instead just brushing them out. But I have gaps and it can look quite underdone, so I decided to take the plunge with this product.

I love the packaging - it is very sleek (like a lot of the recent offerings from Maybelline, it feels like the brand is growing up). I must admit I was very intimidated before trying the product - I even made my friend try it first (she did offer!). However I’m very glad I took the plunge, as it was definitely not ‘too much’ (I was quite worried the end result would turn out something like how it looks before you actually peel of the formula, which quite frankly would be a disaster). In fact, I got the darkest colour as I have dark brown brows, and it wasn’t too much at all. I left it on for an hour as my friend tried for 30 minutes and didn’t find it dramatic enough. We also reapplied after one day - it didn’t last for 3 days. After applying it did itch slightly, however it is easy to apply, which means the application process is pretty pain free. For me, it didn’t come off in a nice few pieces which I was hoping for, rather in little bits so that was a bit tedious. I was left with brows looking more dark and fuller than how I started, so I was happy with that.

So it didn’t live up to its claim of long lasting results. However, I think I like the product enough for what it is without that feature - I prefer having to touch it up rather than having harsh long lasting brows. If you’re looking for something that does have more of a ‘wow’ factor this is probably not the product for you. However, if you want a product that will naturally amp up your look and are willing to put up with the application time, it will be a better fit. A product that does both (looks ‘natural’ while maintaining a tint over a few days) would be great, but I am a lot happier with this product than I expected, and I’m glad I put my hand up to trial it. I finally have a brow product that is going to get regular use!
