Review on 🔍 Intensify Your Look with NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Eyebrow Gel in Espresso by Heather Brown

I was a bit skeptical about this product based on some reviews. But I'm so glad I tried! I have very oily skin and hair loss/alopecia due to severe PCOS. As a result I have almost no eyebrows and the part I have is very thin so having to draw the eyebrows completely can be a problem. I used my favorite primer (it's called Save Me Later) with my brow pencils (just a couple of basic drugstore Maybelline pencils) to line the shape, then filled in with this product. That looks great. The gels are exactly the color I was hoping for. Beautiful deep brunette/auburn color and perfectly shaded blonde. Unfortunately, after a long night, I fell asleep with my makeup on. I've been awake a little over 14-16 hours since I put it on. My foundation is a bit shiny and needs a touch up, but my brows are actually still MATT. Normally my brows (and the entire T-zone) are very oily and shiny by now. But not my eyebrows. Wow! They didn't wear out at all, not even the tails; which is almost unknown to me and the way I sleep. As already mentioned, it dries very quickly. I had a bit of trouble applying it for the first time as I'm not used to using brow gels like this. It can be "relentless" when you mess up, especially with darker colors. But it's pretty easy to learn how to apply and it stays on surprisingly well, even on my terribly oily skin. It seems easiest to use a thin, straight brow brush, patience, and a small amount of product at a time to apply. I highly recommend this product (both for blondes and everyone; eyebrows or not, oily skin or not. (4pm/5pm vs 8am)
