WUNDERBROW Waterproof Eyebrow Gel, Blonde, Vegan and Cruelty-Free

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!

Love this eyebrow gel. A little goes a long way. Once dry, it does not smudge or wipe off until you remove it. Washes off well, without scrubbing.

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 really liked this eyebrow makeup at first as it stayed put longer than most and I liked the shade. Then when parts started to rub off and I filled them it I didn’t quite get the right shape but it set so quickly I couldn’t alter it. Just couldn’t remove it and had to wait a couple of days before I could. Also it set like concrete so didn’t feel natural at all! Shame but that’s my experience of it. I am returning to pencils as they are more natural.

I have naturally gingery/light brown hair with light brown brows. I should wear makeup everyday as my eyes/brows are non existent, however I've never been willing to get out of bed 5 minutes early just to apply makeup! I decided I'd have semi permanent eyebrow and eyeliner tattooing. Unfortunately after spending over £300 I still don't have the results I want so after seeing this advertised I thought I'd give it a go. The short story is, I wish I'd saved myself £280!!! I did try to use the lip gloss style brush that comes in the product however I felt it applied too much of the product and you had very little control. My advice would be to use a brush designed for applying eyebrow products (I chose to buy the wunderbrow branded brush). This made a huge difference to applying the product. Always start off using it sparingly, you can always add more. I allow each brow to dry for a couple of minutes then run a spoolie brush through to soften the effect, if you do this right away then you remove half the product. I know in advertising the company state it stays on until you take it off so I wanted to test it. I applied wunderbrow before going to bed and allowed it to dry. I slept in it, I then showered in the morning and my brows were perfect. I've also slept in it, showered in it and sweated at the gym in it and it remained perfect. Although after a second nights sleep I still had the product on my brows it was far from perfect. To remove it I use baby oil on a tissue. I ordered the brunette as I didn't want the auburn for fear it was too gingery, although I feel the colour is fine for me I do have to use it sparingly. I did intend to order the blonde but after reading reviews on here it had a green tinge I think I'll stick to brunette. Although wunderbrow say you can't/shouldn't, I've used this as an eyeliner with better success than my 24hr permanent liner pen! A great product that I wished I'd ordered sooner.

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 :)

Amazing cool ashy tone! I purchased the Taupe Grey and it’s the perfect colour. Not too greeny or warm like some Taupes are, but has more dimension than just a grey. What’s even better is the staying power is fabulous, I applied it with the included angles brush two days ago! And it’s still on!! Tints the skin as well, not just the hairs! Which is what I need as my brow hairs are so sparse 10/10 product

I've used this product for a few months now and I can safely say that it isn't worth your money. The reason I've used it so much is because the product really does stay on for a long time and is more durable than the majority of eyebrow products on the market. However, one bottle oft this product costs roughly £20 and, if you plan to use it every day like I did, it will last you about 4-5 weeks maximum. In addition to such a cost, you'll need to buy WUNDERCLEANSE to remove the product, which costs another £7 on top of this. So you're looking at a pretty high cost if you want to use this product regularly. WUNDERCLEANSE is actually probably the better of the 2 products. Although the product is incredibly expensive for its size (£7 for 10ml), it does a very good job of removing the product and other make-up products as well. However, there are a lot of articles online which say you can remove WUNDERBROW using coconut oil - a much more cost effective and natural, household product. Being as stingy as I am, I tried using coconut oil before purchasing WUNDERCLEANSE and ended up accidentally pulling out half of my left eyebrow where the WUNDERBROW product was stuck to my brow hairs. I'd therefore advise that you be VERY CAREFUL when removing WUNDERBROW as, if you don't use WUNDERCLEANSE to break down the product, you could end up thinning and damaging your eyebrows. Furthermore, the product claims to last for several days at a time. While this is true, it also loses its natural look after the first day. By day 2, your eyebrows begin to look matted and clumpy, and any foundation to reapply around the brow area discolours the product and your eyebrows. It makes you look like you have white eyebrows when you apply large quantities and are in direct sunlight! Overall, I would not recommend this product. It's overpriced, has potential to serious damage your eyebrows and their growth and isn't quite as natural-looking and flattering as it's made out to be. Perhaps this would be better suited to someone who requires minimal eyebrow coverage, but if you're anything like me and want to drastically change the shape/fullness of your brows, you're better off shopping elsewhere.
