WUNDERBROWWunderbrow Waterproof Eyebrow Gel, Black/Brown, Vegan and Cruelty-Free …

Really pleased with this product, I have black eyebrows so decided on the brown gel to tone them down a bit. I like that it’s a gel because once brushed through it holds, I have unruly eyebrows that have a life of their own so this has really helped. I’ve been using eyeshadow for years to fill in my brows but this works so much better. Sometimes if I’ve put too much on once it’s dry I’ll brush them again and that tones down the amount of product. I can recall their being a low rated review about the product being advertised to be able to stay on for long periods of time (beyond normal day of wearing) and then complaining that it had damaged their brows… because it’s a gel and it sets it’s likely to damage them if not washed off and moisturised.

So, I don't usually do reviews but it took me so long to actually commit to spending £20 on an eyebrow product, so I thought I'd share what I think about Wunderbrow. I always do my eyebrows - I feel very weird if I don't have them on, but I get quite oily skin so all other eyebrow pencils/powders/gels that I have tried would smudge throughout the day and just generally drove me mad. So, I tried Wunderbrow, and I'm really glad that I did.At first, I could see that it did what I wanted it to do - the colour was correct (I ordered brunette) & it didn't budge throughout the day, but I hadn't bought the separate brush and it just looked messy and ugly when applied with the brush inside the bottle. If you're looking to do defined brows, then you HAVE to get a brush separately. I ordered a really cheap one from Amazon (brush one side, spoolie the other side) and it made the product much easier to use.You really need to put the product on in tiny amounts and build it up- even if you want dark, powerful brows, build it up slowly with multiple layers, otherwise your brows will just look awful and will be rock hard and just a bit gross. The actual liquid is quite gloopy, but when you apply with a separate brush this isn't an issue as you use such a small amount. Even doing it this way took me a good 10 practices to get the technique right (I'm useless with make up, but you just have to get used to using it). After you apply it, remove all excess product from the brush with kitchen roll or something, otherwise the brush will be rock hard the next time you go to use it. (To clean the brush properly I rub it in some oil based make up remover then wash it with brush cleaner)I apply this product before any other make up is applied (clean your brows first to remove any natural oils) which works great and sits really well on the skin, and I then apply foundation (being careful around my eyebrows) and it looks great. I've tried applying it after I have applied my foundation, and although I had tried my best to avoid my eyebrows when applying my foundation, it just didn't work well. The oil from my foundation really altered the way in which the wunderbrow worked.Now, I have to make this clear as it will not be the same with everybody, I have really oily skin, and I suffer from acne so I generally wear a lot of foundation every day. When I wear a full face of foundation, the wunderbrow does not always last for more than one day. It stays put, but begins to look patchy and not great. However, I've tried wearing it with just concealer and really minimal foundation (which minimises the oil on my skin) and if I don't remove the wunderbrow at night, I could easily get away with a second day's wear.I cleanse my skin every morning and evening, so I always remove my eyebrows at night. I use the Nivea oil based eye make up remover and it takes it off really easily. I've tried using Micellar water as I'd read in some other reviews, and it gradually took the product off but I had to rub a lot more and I would quite like to have eyebrows left at the end of the day... doing it this way actually made one of my eyebrows a bit patchy, so you HAVE to remove it really gently with oil!I bought my first bottle of Wunderbrow 3 months ago, and have just ordered my second. For me, this didn't last long (in comparison to the gel I used to use), however I did play around with it quite a bit at the beginning to get the technique right, so I don't think it's too bad. For me, it's worth it. There's nothing worse than noticing your smudged eyebrows half way through the day, and with Wunderbrow this will never happen. If you're considering trying it, I would go for it. It might not be great for everyone, but stick with it and try it out a few times before giving up on it. I won't be going back to cheaper products (and trust me, I buy a lot of cheap make up...).I have attached before & after photos. Please note, the 'after' photo was after a full day's wear, and I had spent the day wearing a full face of foundation. I had removed my foundation just before this photo was taken. Please ignore how red my skin is in the before photo, my skin goes so red when I remove my make up!

Firstly let me say I have used tons of eyebrow products from pencils to crayons to gels to mascara type formulations. I am in my late forties and (although, happily, people tell me I look much younger!) I have got very sparse brows and one of them is also compromised by a scar running right through it which, although unnoticeable, does make the hairs either not grow, or grow a bit hit and miss. I think the most important thing in a brow product is the colour. TBH, I think as long as the shade is right, then the product is secondary as it is wearing the wrong shade that makes eyebrows stand out for all the wrong reasons. Apart from that, if the product is applied too heavily or badly then that is also not a good look. So, on to WunderBrow - I really like this product! Was a bit sceptical at first because I thought it would look fake, but it doesn't and I think it is probably the most natural looking product I have tried. I have highlighted, coloured blonde hair, but my natural brows are a mousey brown - that means they have a cool, greyish tinge to them and not a reddish tinge, which so many brow products go for - the reddish browns that look awful, on me at least. So, I started with the brunette (not from this seller), but it was surprisingly light and looked a bit orangey. I then ordered the black/brown from this seller without much hope, thinking it would be too dark, but it isn't. Applied lightly, I gain a very natural, thicker brow and if I want the brows to be a little more intense I can simply apply more product. The shade isn't perfect for me - it could still be a little mousey-er, but it's pretty close. The key is to apply using very tiny brush strokes in the same direction as the hair (ie slightly upwards towards your forehead) using the bottom line of your brows as your starting point and guide. Avoid simply painting on horizontally across your brows as this will just look odd. You can then fill in or shape more when you have your basic shape. Unlike some others, I don't mind the brush - you just have to make sure you wipe off most of the product on the side of the tube before applying to avoid a gloopy mess - you can then add more if you need to. If you apply with a light, feathery touch, you don't need to be too quick about it, but if you do splodge too much on then use the little brush to blend and distribute as quickly as you can as this stuff does stick pretty well once it's on. I find it darkens a little once it has been on an hour or two. It did take me a week or so of perfecting my technique to realise that I will definitely be re-purchasing this product so stick with it if you've only just started. Like I said, if the shade is a good match it is worth persevering because that, for me, is the most important thing. Hopefully, they will bring out a greater range of shades in time. The reason I have dropped a star is because, like others have said, this does not last more than a day - if you cleanse your face properly at night! However, I think it would definitely survive a rain storm, would probably last through a gym session and might possibly be still there after a swim. After a day's hard and messy DIY work last weekend I had a quick shower to wash the dust from my hair and my brows were still perfect afterwards (always do my make up, even before ripping plasterboard off my ceilings!!).

My eyebrows have a lot of gaps but I'm working on that. This is my first attempt & I think it went pretty well. I didn't use the angled brush provided, I used the brush in the actual product then went through them with the spoolie in the box. Really happy with the colour too. Would recommend.

Not very good bad coverage!

Was good
