K7L Cosmetics - Moss Waterproof Brow Define Gel (Dark Brown)

I love this eyebrow gel! I used my MAC 263 brush to apply it, and it was so easy. The gel is so soft and I don’t even have to scrape it to get much product on my brush. I didn’t notice any fallout around my eyes when I was applying it. It dries into a powder and as long as I don’t rub my brows, they stay in place. I went shopping today and ran errands, and it didn’t smudge at all. I even got a compliment from the cashier about my eyebrows! 100% buy this product!!!

Let me disclaimer but saying I used as minimal amount in my brows as possible, just using really fine brush strokes to fill in sparse parts of the ends. If I used a full amount it would look crazy dark and unnatural. I have black hair and so I thought this greyish black Moss color would be light enough but it’s still super dark. I think I would prefer this as an eyeliner gel and so that’s what I’m going to use it as. For eyebrows like mine, dark but sparse (so noticeable when you use too dark of gels) I actually prefer using brow powder because it’s not as heavy when applied. That’s my recommendation. I tried the gel but it’s not for me or the look I want to achieve

This comes in a nice little plastic jar with a black top.I have medium to dark brown hair, but my brows hairs look like a muted black type color. I have tried dark brown brow products, which usually are too warm or too dark and I feel they look weird on me. I’ve tried black, which looks usually ends up being too dark. But, I’ve gotten some that were more of a muted black color and some that weren’t too pigmented, and those are the ones that have looked the best I think. I’ve even tried different taupes, and some seemed to work well but still not perfect. I’m still trying to find the right shade or shades that work for me without me feeling my brows look weird!I had trouble picking a shade because the swatches they show in the product photos were labeled with the shade names, but then when you select the color they were labeled “Light Brown,” “Dark Brown,” etc. So, I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting. Also, one product photo shows like smudges of the product itself, and then another shows swatches on an arm. For some, the swatches on the arm look slightly different from the smudges of the product. Like, “Timber” looks really warm toned in the product photo with the smudges of product, but doesn’t look warm toned at all in the product photo of swatches on the arm. In the photo of the swatch on the arm it actually looked quite cool toned. I don’t know what that was about? Maybe they built it up a lot in the swatch? Maybe it’s computer generated, which is definitely a possibility just by the way it looks. I’m not sure, but it made it really difficult picking a shade!I knew I didn’t want “Timber” because even though it looked like exactly what I was looking for in the photo of the swatch on the arm, in the photo with product smudged it looked way too warm toned. The last 2 looked way too dark. So, I decided to go with “Russet,” which I was guessing was the “Light Brown” option. So, I selected that. I was right about the “Light Brown” being “Russet.” Fortunately, at the time of this review, it seems they updated the product page so that it now shows the actual shade name when selecting a shade and not “Light Brown,” etc. So, that’s good! But, the product photo swatches are still confusing in my opinion.I don’t know where they got the idea that this is light brown. To me it is dark. It’s almost black. I’d say it’s darkest brown you can get! It’s also a little warm toned. So, the shade just doesn’t work for me. But, I still tried it out to review it.This has an interesting texture. It’s called a brow gel but it’s kind of dry feeling. I would say it’s more pomade than gel. Brow pomades and brow gels in a jar are pretty similar - they give the same texture and fullness to the brows. But, the real difference I’ve found between brow gels in jars and brow pomades are that brow gels hold the hairs in place more. Gels can make the brow hairs stiff too. This definitely doesn’t really hold the brows in place in my opinion. It gives the brows color, texture, and fullness, but doesn’t hold them in place. I don’t have unruly brows so that’s not an issue for me. But, it might be for some.It is really pigmented. It doesn’t take much at all. It applies easily and evenly. It lasts well in the brows.Unfortunately, while, I liked the formula, I don’t think this is for me. The color didn’t work for me and there is only 1 shade lighter and that looks way too warm toned for me. I definitely wouldn’t want to go any darker because “Russet” is about the darkest brown I’ve seen before getting to black. If they got more shades and I could actually pick a shade easily, I wouldn’t mind trying it again, especially at the currently reduced price of $9.99 (down from regular price of $16.50). I give it 4 stars. It works really well. But I took a star off for color selection and the color being so dark for the second shade in (and what, at the time of me selecting it, they called “Light Brown”).

I ordered the color "Light Brown" but the gel when applied is super super black. It is not something I can use because it is more of a cosplay item than a normal makeup item. It applied well but it was not a color anyone here can use.

No matter how I apply this it’s SOO dark and pigmented. It looks awful on. The product itself works well to keep brows in place but it needs to be clear to realistically wear it.

The first time I tried to apply this I put way too much on my eyebrow brush (does not come with a brush) and my brows looked too thick and nearly black. I had to remove it all with makeup remover and start over. If I just barely touch the brush to the surface of the gel I get the right amount and can apply it much better and the color is more brown than black and can make it look like natural eyebrows. I have scant eyebrow hairs so I'm always up for trying eyebrow products that go on well, look like real eyebrows and last a long time. I applied this makeup around 4:00 pm, and still had enough eyebrows left the next morning so it doesn't wear off very easily. That's good because I play a lot of tennis and sweat. I haven't yet tried this eyebrow makeup in hot weather (still winter here) but definitely plan too. If it comes off with sweat I'll update this review but for now I like it a lot.

The older I get, the more sparse my eyebrows become, so I’m always on the lookout for products that help provide some color as well as make a more defined eyebrow line. This cream formula has been a good fix, and it’s very easy to use. An angled eyebrow brush is a must though—to help spread the cream into a nice arc shape and to fill out/blend the brow area. Timber is a very soft brown color; it looks very natural in what eyebrows I do have. I’ve tried many eyebrow products—this is one of few that looks natural, is easy to use and has all-day staying power. Only a very small amount is needed per application.

If you like to add a lot of color to your brows, you'll love this. The cream is very soft and you only have to use a tiny tiny bit to get a lot of color. You can see how little I tapped into it and on the first pass, I ended up with very pigmented brows. I used the remainder on my brush to do my other brow so you can see the difference between the intensity that you can get. Since you need to use so little, this container will last forever. It's very comparable to some high end brands I've used, like ABH. My only complaint is that this color had a lot more red in it than I expected. So if you need an auburn shade, choose Timber. Since monitor photos differ, I understand that difference, but they call it Tan and it really isn't, so they should adjust that part of the description. Overall, it's a very nice brow cream and it's easy to use. It didn't really dry and was easy to get off with a makeup wipe.
