Eyebrow Sealer with Mascara & Brush Applicator – Waterproof, Smudge-Proof, Long-Lasting Eyebrow Gel Topcoat for Flawless All-Day Hold

I have perfected the perfect eyebrow, so I am NOT a novice. I have practiced religiously almost daily for over a decade and I get random compliments but I digress..What made my perfected eyebrow fall by the wayside is my oily skin which in turn causes my beautifully faux created arches fade into obscurity. I had no idea a product such as this existed until I typed in waterproof eyebrows in google and this product appeared. I was still a bit sketical so I turned to youtube for reviews; all of which were glowing.This product works point blank. In the morning, I can perfect my arch and in the evening when I get ready to wash my face for the night, the arch is still there.Now there is a caveat, my eyebrows do fade slightly over the course of the day depending upon the hot weather/humidity factor. I live in a region of the country renowned for warm weather, so this is a fact of life. And if I do rub my eyebrows after I have sweated, the part where there is less hair to grab onto will wipe off BUT for the most part my eyebrows are at attention and in place.This product comes with a mini mascara type brush or a paint type brush which glides smoothly over powder or pencil. I use it with Make Up For Ever's eyebrow corrector for staying power.After I brush it on and it dries, I may do a slight touch up of powder or pencil for extra color, but I usually don't have to. I must note that you should not be heavy handed with this product as it will give your eyebrows a severely stiff almost tacky look. And yes it will make your eyebrows shine a bit, but not in a manner that will throw your look off. It actually enhances it if your ask me. The shine is also relative to how much you use.This product washes off quickly with a cleanser of your choice and water. It lasts a while as well. If you are an eyebrow queen who has perfected the perfect arch that you want to stay in place, then this product is for you.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have used this for years works the best

I have very sparse eyebrows so I have to fill them in a lot. I usually use micro brow pencils as they are the easiest for me to get a natural yet sculpted look. The problem I have is that I basically have to draw on bare skin where there is no hair. When my face gets oily throughout the day, the pencil easily gets smudged and completely wipes off my skin. So I end up missing parts of my eyebrow. Well, no more! I use this product on top of the pencil and it keeps it set all day and never smudges. I use the brush that looks like a nail polish brush and go completely over my penciled in brows.It does make them water resistant, but I wouldn't say 100% water proof. But I have used it on beach and pool days where I am sweating and splashing (not submerging my face or anything) and it definitely helped keep my brows in place. It will smudge off if you rub with your finger or a towel or something, so it is not 100% smudge proof either. But it does what I want it to do, which is to keep accidental smudges at bay throughout the day, and helped keep my brows looking good at the pool or the beach. It dries completely clear, doesn't leave any shine or flakiness.Great product!

I'm amending my initial review and upping the stars from 2 to 4. My initial impressions still stand. I did, in fact, throw out the first bottle after about one week of using it because I couldn't stand the stickiness on my skin. However, after struggling with my curly eyebrows again, I regretted my decision and bought this stuff again. Sigh. Now, I just apply carefully, avoiding the skin above the brows. This prevents the worst of the sticky feeling. It also keeps my eyebrow products from smearing. I then pat down the wacky eyebrow hairs while the product is wet. It works. My brows look better. I'm happier. Yay!This eyebrow product definitely sets and holds my eyebrows without leaving a white, flaky residue. If that's what you want, then buy this product. I will use this bottle until it's gone because the cons aren't terrible enough, for the most part, to toss the bottle right now since I paid over $10 for it. However, it is a very, very heavy hairspray feeling hold. Think of the strongest hairspray that you can imagine that would hold your hair in a strong wind and then put it on your eyebrows. It feels like my eyebrows are stuck to my face all day and I never forget that they're there when I move my face in any way. I have learned to apply very carefully and sparingly in the mirror and then pat down my curly eyebrow hairs with my finger. Oh, how I wish I could tolerate the feel of the product! It definitely does what it's supposed to do. I suppose it comes down to personal preference. You have to decide what you're willing to live with and trade off to get the result you desire.
