NYX Eyebrow Gel Review (Brunette)
This year I was excessively obsessed with brows. NYX Eyebrow Gel is one of the products that is in my to buy/to try list. I really wanted to check out the shades before buying this product. Sadly, NYX counters here in MNL do not carry all the five shades. I ended up researching for my perfect shade and buying this product online. I bought this at Makeupinboxph for 285 pesos and I had to wait for 3 weeks to a month to get my order. So again, pre order is not for people with low EQ. hehe
Many considers this NYX Eyebrow Gel as a dupe for MUFE Aqua Brow. I have personally not tried the latter (kasi mahalia) so I do not have the authority to compare the two products. I got the shade Brunette which a is a perfect medium ash brown. This shade does not have any red undertones and looks best on my black brown hair before and it still complements my new golden brown hair now.
This brow gel has a dry mousse like consistency. It immediately fills in the sparse areas of my brows. Due to its high pigmentation, I can easily create strong outlines. This brow gel does not budge and lasts the whole day. I find it to be waterproof and sweat proof as well. As much as I want to use this on my wedding due the aforementioned things, I really have a hard time applying this brow gel. I can't seem to get used to its consistency. The mousse consistency makes it very tricky to work it plus this dries FAST!!!I have to work with short and light strokes to perfect my brow shape. It takes up more of my prep time as compared to using a brown pencil where I can draw my brows even in a moving car (charot!!). This brow gel is not advisable for people who are always on the go or those who does not have too much time to spend on makeup. Also, this works better on neatly groomed brows.
Over all, I am not really impressed with this product. I really wanted to like it but I will choose the Jazzy Collection Brow Gel over this one.
Godbless!

ReplyDeleteGusto ko rin makatry ng brow gel but I think I can't work well using this. Eyebrow pencil lang ang master ko na. Hehe.That's why my addiction on eyebrow products just stop on trying different browpens:) But still curious parin ako sa brow gel, check ko nga the jazzy. Anyways, maganda nman this nyx brow gel on your eyebrows. Ang linis nga and looks effortless naman, parang ang dali lang gamitin.
ReplyDeleteHow do you even apply this on your brows? Parang makalat.
ReplyDeleteI think this is the best one that I've tried in terms of longevity, but like you said, it dries fast and not easy to apply when in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteI agree, this one is difficult to work with! I can never tell what kind of brows I'd end up sporting whenever I use this product... Pero ang kadalasang result, super tapang na brows! It dries up too quickly - before mo pa ma-blend, natuyo na. I have the one from MUFE, and although I've heard people on Youtube say that they're similar, formula-wise they're really not. MUFE's is a dream to work with! It allows you to blend before it sets. I highly recommend that over this one. Pricey but definitely worth it, especially since you use so little product each time :)
ReplyDeleteThough it's messy to apply...It looks natural on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog..
