WUNDERBROW Eyebrow Gel, Waterproof, Smudgeproof, Long Lasting, Shade: Brunette, Vegan and Cruelty-Free

As I was applying makeup this morning and specifically my eyebrows, I realized that although I have purchased Wunderbrow Eyebrow Gel several times, I have never written a review about this beauty product. I don’t remember what I used prior to Wunderbrow and it was obviously easy to forget! Being 79 yo, my eyebrows have all but disappeared at this point but it’s amazing what can be done using Wunderbrow. I can literally recreate my natural brows freehand since the application wand is so easy to use. That coupled with the creamy gel allows me to quickly apply brows that look natural and beautiful. But here’s the bonus…it is TRULY waterproof and will not fade, smudge or dissolve unless the user purposely uses simple soap and water to do so. I can wash my face and take a shower and my eyebrows remain intact unless I use a bit of soap to remove them. This product really does work “wunders” on sketchy brows and makes them look full and totally natural.

This is the BEST eyebrow gel I’ve ever used. My eyebrows are getting sparse and nothing was filling in those areas without flaking or looking unnatural. I’ve probably tried 6-7 different manufacturers from inexpensive to expensive. This gel WORKS and absolutely stays on even after sleeping.

I finally did it. I bought Wunderbrow. Let me tell you, it has been a journey with my eyebrows and eyebrow products so I figured...it’s time to see what all the hoopla is about. This may be a long review because I have a lot to say about this product and the things that I’ve learned while using, so please bear with me. First off, I purchased in the Brunette shade even though I have a multi-tonal blonde balayage because I do know from reviews that Wunderbrow runs lighter than you think, and I can say that I completely agree. Brunette is pretty much the perfect color for me as it is more taupe when dry. Secondly, if you purchase Wunderbrow, I HIGHLY suggest watching a number of YouTube tutorials because it IS a product that can be difficult to work with and requires patience and definitely has a learning curve. If you think this is going to be a “throw it on and it’s perfect” product, unfortunately you’ve got another thing comin’. This aside, I DO love the outcome that Wunderbrow provides. Is it perfect? No. Is it worth it? For me, it is. Okay, so Wunderbrow is an extremely wet and liquid-y product. It has taken me several applications to get down the best application method because when it’s very wet and liquid-like, it does not adhere to the skin which poses a problem for outlining the brow as the first step. Naturally, you want to use an angled brow brush to apply this and not the spoolie that it comes with (which is basically a disposable spoolie you’d see at Ulta or something), so if you don’t have an angled brush I recommend purchasing one beforehand or along with this product. The applicator in the tube is a brush (much like a lip gloss brush) which you do NOT want to use directly on your brows. Doing so will apply way too much product that you’ll end up struggling to work through your brow before it dries (because once it starts drying, it and your brows are stuck where they are) and you run the risk of looking like a cartoon character. The best way that I have found to use Wunderbrow is by using a surface, much like a paint palette, to work off of. Personally, I use the top of a cream blush compact because it’s a flat, untextured surface. I don’t recommend your hand because it’s messy and will stain. So to start I get some product onto my working surface by using the brush applicator and just getting a nice little dollop on. After brushing out my brows with a spoolie, I go in with an angled brush (I use the Anastasia dual ended brush for all of this) pick up product and dab off excess on the same surface, much like you would when painting. I start by applying directly to the brow hairs instead of trying to define my brow (that comes later) with small hairlike strokes and using a spoolie to brush out the hair again before going back in with more product from my surface. I do this about 3-4 times to build up the color and by this point the product on my working surface has started to dry down which is when you want to go in and start defining the shape of the brow and using your spoolie as needed. Letting it dry down a bit allows it to become thicker in consistency and is when Wunderbrow does indeed apply and stick to the skin. This is definitely a product where you need to go in with a concealer to clean everything up using a different brush to make your brows more defined and have cleaner edges. This product does wear like a champion and through a night of dancing or a day of hiking it will not budge, fade, or smear. Wunderbrow does not come off with water, but it does come off with makeup remover or cleanser, which I use every single night if I have been wearing any makeup. So, the whole “lasts a few days” thing is really lost for me. If you use any makeup remover whatsoever, this stuff will come right off and will not last days. My final thoughts on Wunderbrow is that it does not take less time to use whatsoever, it is not a product I use daily but for instances where I need to make sure my brows are locked in for the day/night, this is now my go-to for those purposes. When I use Wunderbrow I really love the results and how perfect it can make my brows look. Is it the most natural looking? Not at all, which is why I typically prefer it if I’m going out to a show or a club. I do find that it wears better and keeps the brow hairs in place better than Anastasia’s Dipbrow and brow gel. Wunderbrow is definitely a solid product and I definitely will be using it when I need to/have the time to. It’s not a perfect product and like I said, requires some patience and technique in perfecting application, but overall I find it to be one of the best brow products I have ever purchased for creating a bold, sharp brow look that lasts through sweat, humidity and withstands my bangs until I take it off. I will upload photos soon. Thanks for reading!

*Updated 3/5/16* Due to a stupid mistake I made back in the 90s, I got my eyebrows tattooed and over the years they have faded to practically nothing. Since the tattoos are higher than my natural eyebrows, I can't just grow them out because it would look like I have 2 sets of eyebrows. So I have to shave them off several times a week. Then when I put foundation on, they completely disappear and I look like an alien. So I have to draw them on daily with a colored pencil and I end up looking like a Chola. Not that there's anything wrong with that... However I am kind of an old school goth, so I just tell people that it's a "Goth thing". But since I am quite a bit older now, it is getting much harder to pull off. So I was browsing around the internet trying to find a natural looking eyebrow product and came across Wunderbrow and read the rave reviews. I have burgundy/violet hair and I ordered the brunette shade. Based on the reviews I expected this to be a little darker but it is actually a medium ashy kind of brown. It would be a very flattering shade for blondes or medium toned brunettes, but for me I think it was just a little too light. I then purchased the black/brown and it is perfect for me. The color is fairly sheer, so you will need a few coats if you want to make it darker. I created an updated video to show you some tips and tricks which has made the application process much easier for me. Several people were mentioning that they were having a hard time with the brush, but I found it to be very easy to use right out of the bottle. The brush is somewhat stiff but also a little flexible, kind of like a nail polish brush. It is flat on one side that you can use to paint on the heaviest part of your brow and then you can turn it sideways to use the narrow side on your arch and ends. But after using the product for several weeks, I discovered that if you cut the brush at an angle, it allows for more precise application. I just rest my elbow on the faucet which provides a steadier hand. Since I have no eyebrow hairs, I have no use for the mascara wand that comes with it, but you can use it to blend the product into your natural brows. If you mess up, you can use a wet q-tip to remove the goof, but you will have to do it quickly while the product is still wet. Once the product is dry, you can rub your fingers over brows and it will not come off. I would always be paranoid when using pencil because at the slightest touch, I would have a brown streak across my face and half of my eyebrow would go missing. How embarrassing is that?! You can even go to sleep with this product on your face and still wake up with eyebrows. I love that! But as soon as I used facial cleanser, a majority of the product washed off. So while it is probably waterproof in the rain and while swimming, as soon as you apply any type of cleanser and scrubbing action, the majority of it will probably come off. I also think it will not last as long if you apply it over moisturizer. Your skin should be clean and dry for best results. I also notice that when the product is dry, the finish is fairly matte and almost gives the appearance of hairs. So to recap, here are my tips for getting the best use out of the product for those of us with no eyebrows. Your results may vary! 1. Avoid any oil based moisturizer or foundation. The product works best on clean dry skin. 2. Cut the brush at an angle for a more precise application. 3. Rest your elbow on the faucet or other flat surface for a steadier hand. 4. Do the heaviest part of your brow first, followed by the tail, then meet at the arch. 5. Apply with light strokes. The product goes on a little sheer, so you can add more coats if necessary to achieve a darker look. 6. Keep some wet q-tips handy in case you goof but do it fast! Only works while the product is still wet. 7. Set the product with a light dusting of pressed or loose powder. In summary, I am really loving Wunderbrow. I definitely think it's more natural looking than pencil or anything else I have tried in the past. What do you think?

Da qualche tempo “combatto” con la rimozione di un tatuaggio alle sopracciglia spacciato per semi permanente dalla “signora” che l’ha effettuato. Durante le varie fasi di rimozione il colore del tatuaggio ha virato dal grigio al rosso/blu per poi passare ad un verde che è andato via via sbiadendo. Immaginate il malessere nel sapere di dover andare in giro con le sopracciglia con base verde acceso. La matita aiutava, ma non aveva una grande resistenza era diventato un incubo. A breve avrò finito questo percorso e il tatuaggio verrà rimosso completamente Grazie al laser, ma se non avessi scoperto questo prodotto non saprei come avrei fatto. La durata dipende molto dal modo in cui viene applicato e ci vuole un po’ di tempo per prendere mano, ma io a quasi due anni e mezzo di utilizzo costante posso dire che migliori non ce ne sono. Ripeto, sopracciglia VERDI, coperte perfettamente senza effetto finto o tristemente marcato. Consiglio questo prodotto, ogni tubetto mi dura circa 3 mesi e vale la spesa, basta saperlo utilizzare, io lo applico tutti i giorni per forza di cose, perché la sera mi strucco, ma è capitato di passare periodi, come l’estate, in cui non uso trucco e ha retto alla grande. Bastava ridefinirlo leggermente sui bordi il giorno successivo. Più di due giorni comunque diventa un po’ secco e effetto “crosticina”, io darei due giorni come limite massimo.

good colour and finish

So nice not having to fill in my eyebrows everyday, because they're super patchy. WunderBrow lasts about 2 days for me before needing touch ups (depends what type of face wash you use). I chose Black-Brown (which goes on like a dark brown), and my eyebrows are black, but I think this gives more of a natural look for dark brows. If you are looking for more of a bold look, I would try jet-black. The only thing that isn't the best in my opinion is that the formula is realllly thick, so be careful when putting on your brow hairs or it will stick and feel cakey/very hard. Make sure to always brush them out with a spoolie eyebrow brush after applying the product (one is provided in the package), so they don't look or feel cakey. The benefit of the formula though is that it acts like a gel so it tames/smooths down unruly hairs. Overall, I'm really happy with this product as it saves me a lot of time in my makeup routine and I don't have to worry about my eyebrows wiping off throughout the day.

always use this product. works every time. great price.

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!
