THE VERDICT:
Oh, finally; brands are starting to create more and more brow gels; that makes one happy person in the planet and that's me! Brow Gels, for me, are AMAZING products because they can map, define, and color in one go, plus they're designed for PRO use so you'll only get nothing but pro-looking brows.
One of my favorite brands, Bobbi Brown, has just released their very own version in the SS 16 collection; let's check out this one today.
BOBBI BROWN LONG WEAR BROW GEL IN SADDLE IN DETAIL
Inspired by the Long Wear Gel Liner collection, this brow gel promises to stay put for up to 24 hours while delivering color, hold, and definition; it contains Film Formers for pro staying power and Beeswax to nourish the skin and brows; it comes in 8 shades.
This product is in a mini compact; it may not look like P1,400.00 to some, but this is pretty pigmented and it will take you a while to hit pan on it!
Saddle is an almost wooden brown; I was a bit surprised that finish is glossy; pigmentation is medium to heavy and practically doesn't need to be warmed up to work just because it's soft and smooth; texture is almost balm- like.

This brow gel has a great finish: it's pigmented, defines brows nicely and naturally, stays put for hours, gives brows a nice sheen, and conditions brow strands and the skin, but texture is more suited to those with intermediate makeup skills already; it's not that easy to work with; I experimented with different ways to work with this product and have come up with this set of techniques that I'd like to share with everyone:
1. The gel has a semi- balmy texture and does not settle right away so it's best to build the product gradually.
2. I found that a light hand and light strokes are the best ways to work it.
3. When your brows begin to look clumped or too shiny, simply grab a spoolie and fluff your brows to get rid of excess product.
Ah, Bobbi's brow gel has a nice finish, really, and I like how it makes my brows look fuller, thicker, and feel healthier; texture is just a little hard to work with so I hope it will be improved next time. If you have this product, just do my techniques for a breezy brow defining experience.

i havent tried any brow gel product! this looks promising but it is bit steep for my budget.. for a 1400 budget i could already buy 9 to 10 brow pencils hehehe..
ReplyDeleteis this comparable to anastasia brow gel ms m?
Haven't tried Anastasia yet dear so can't compare. :/
DeleteYou're right. Bobbi Brown Long Wear Brow Gel in Saddle makes your brow look fuller and thicker. This is good for those who love brow gel and the color I think will suits most Filipina. Sayang hindi ako nagkikilay eh. Ok na ko sa kilay ko. Takot kase akong galawin. Ok na ko dun.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! :D
DeleteEven though this one (Bobbi Brown Long Wear Brow Gel) is pricey, your money is worth it because it promise to stays up to 24hrs:)... So far I don't have any Bobbi Brown Cosmetics because I can't afford their price...
ReplyDeleteWoohh! It really defines the eyebrow O.o
ReplyDeletewill you recommend this for someone with full brows?
ReplyDeleteDoes it come with the jar of delicious-looking nuts?
ReplyDeleteHahaha it made me hungry.
I hope it does haha!
DeleteI should practice more on much cheaper brow gel Ms.Martha.
ReplyDeletehighly recommended before moving on to pricier products. :)
DeleteBrow gels irritate me. I do not even know why. Maybe because I do not have the light hand to start with. Pencils had always been the best for me but you made this me think again. I have sparse brows so making it full and neat had always been a priority for me. Output wise, this is very beautiful as I see on the photo but I don't know if this is friendly for newbies or always on the go girls like me. Anyway, Bobbi Brown never disappoints me.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Thanks for sharing! :D
DeleteI'm just wondering Ms. M, what's the difference between brow gels and pomade?
ReplyDeletePomade- more pigmented; can substitute as eyeliner
DeleteGels- usually tinted or clear; used to set or slightly adjust the shade of the brow makeup
I'm too heavy handed perhaps I should practice more of applying makeup. I love the color of this Ms. M it looks so natural (well when did Bobbi fail to deliver natural looking colors)
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
DeleteThis one's really pricey but it looks really great on your eyebrows, maybe the its worth the price naman. I would love to try this someday if i ever have extra money lol haha!
ReplyDeletewow, on point! I hope you can also write an article on makeup dupes! Thanks for reviewing this product!
ReplyDeleteWill do, Pam. But you can also check out my Beauty Battles SPEND VS. SAVE blog posts; I posted dupes and alternatives there. :)
DeleteThat's really pigmented! Bobbi Brown has been riding the current cosmetics craze waves very well this 2016. Their recent releases are awesome. :) I think, however, that there are a lot more affordable and also quite performing brow gels in the market. I'd love to try this one out when I have my brow game down pat. :)
ReplyDeleteAgree and agree! If you're finally used to using brow gels, then it's time to explore. That way, you won't feel you spent too much because you know how to use the product haha!
DeleteLet me know what you think of this post! :)
