Maybelline Define-A-Brow Gel & Pencil

Wanting something to make my eyebrows better and so that I would take better care of them, I decided to try the cheapest I could find. Funny enough Maybelline is the only drugstore brand that sells a brow gel. 


Packaging:
The brow gel is in a clear plastic tube with a metal screw lid, which has the plastic bristle wand at the end. The mechanical pencil as in the pictures, is a very thin pencil with the mechanical function at one end where the product comes out and a comb at the other.

Colour:
500 Clear Brow Gel. With use over a pencil or powder this colour will transfer into the tube making the clear gel go a slight brown tinge.

Brow Pencil- dark brown 642. Opaque pigmentation with a matte finish.

Texture/Formula:
This is the first brow gel that I have used so as far as comparisons go I can't make any. Saying that it did keep my brows in place. The gel itself isn't stiff or thick. I do feel as though Im not wiping any gel  onto my brows, but feeling them after confirms that there is gel on them.

It's too dark. You always need to go 2 shades lighter for the brows for them to blend in and look natural. So I should be getting a dark blonde colour. That aside you need a very light hand with small strokes to apply this otherwise the brows will be the stand out feature of the face. Little by little, I lightly use the pencil which means that I hardly have to wind it up. I don't use these everyday only when I feel like I need more brow definition.

Available:
From Priceline, pharmacies and discount department stores for $11 for 4.2ml (gel) and $11.69 for 50mg (pencil).
