WUNDERBROW Wunderbrow Waterproof Eyebrow Gel, Brunette, Vegan and Cruelty-Free

I’ve tried a few eyebrow gels and I can say that I love this. It doesn’t look caked on and the colour matches my skin tone so well. Wish I’d bought it years ago!!

I'm a bit rubbish at anything cosmetic that's fiddly, don't do much with my eyebrows and can't bear the 'done with a sharpie' look. But I also have light brows, which are a decent shape naturally but nothing exciting. So having read the mostly positive reviews I decided to give it a go, having done a shape n pluck at home and being left with same pale meh brows.It arrived and I cautiously had a first go, worried by the "long lasting" claims. Short news, it worked really well and was very simple. No Coco the Clown outcome, just a darker version of my own brows.The brush is very fine and flexible. Taking the advice of many here I brushed off excess against the bottle and applied lightly but allowing to build up as I went if needed. A one coat with a little bit of dotting a bit extra was all I needed. Even a cack-handed amateur like me managed it first time. I had also bought a slant brush as per the advice of others but honestly don't feel it's needed.It's a slight shock to see myself with darker brows (but nothing like the time I had it done at one of the well know brow product make up counter and nearly cried at the horror of the effect, begging the woman to clean it off before anyone saw me) but I sense-checked with a passing family member who didn't laugh/faint so I take that as it looks normal, just a bit more defined/visible (ie darker).I went for Auburn because I'm a red head (duh) but considered the Fair as auburn sometimes means reddish dark brown (too dark for my pale skin) but Fair is often too ashy for me. Auburn is perfect, a reddish mid brown that looks very natural even directly against my fringe. Clearly I applied lightly so no doubt I could go stronger if I needed.I have been quite concious of rubbing my eyebrows (do I do that normally, is it the product?) but have slept in it and it's not budged or faded or rubbed off as yet. My slight worrying about any irritation from the product was unfounded.It's not the cheapest thing ever but as cosmetics go and given it does what it promises so far as I can tell, I think it's decent value.Downside, it's made me aware that I might benefit from a professional brow shaping now people can actually see them :)

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!!).

I bought this product as I have lost most of my eyebrow hair from an under active thyroid gland and having dark hair bought the brown/black which is a perfect colour. I must say I like the product but it does NOT last for days. It lasts about 24 hours on me personally and it does not smudge when touched. Ideal for me as I wanted it for scuba diving, swimming and the gym and for this, it works. After going to bed, some, only a little, of the product wore off by the morning probably by me sleeping face down on my pillow, so it's claims that it does last for days are not true for me.....It does fill in and look almost natural when it is applied. Remember that it will never replace your hair as it is gone, but it will give the 'illusion' of having hair there as they are tiny fibres. After a day or two of a few minutes practising I got the hang of using the brush and I agree it could be more finer as other reviewers have said but with practice, if you angle it right you can create a nice effect at the tail ends too. I hear there is a newer version with a defining style tip and will try this next time. In the interim, my top tip is to layer the product brushing in between and it will indeed take about 2 minutes in total. You could always use a fine lip brush if you want tiny tail end eyebrows but after practice you may not need to.I will continue to buy the Wunderbrow product because it does give me the effect that I want, in the morning, I just fill in and it takes less than 30 seconds if any has rubbed off. Good luck!!
