Maybelline Tattoo Brow is fab

Thought I’d share for anyone else who suffers with thin patchy brows. My DD persuaded me to try it after wasting pounds on pencils, powders, gels etc. I was worried it would be too harsh and give me Scouse brows but it’s actually great and for the first time in many years I feel confident without make-up. Hope this is useful to someone else 😊

Isn't it ever?!
I bought it last week only because it was half price and yep, it's bloody brilliant for my patchy eyebrows. It's stays put all day too.

Ooh. I’m always in the market for an eyebrow product.

Google says there’s a tattoo brow range (pen, pomade, a 3-day thing?). Which one/s did you use??

SomewhereNow · 01/09/2018 11:47

It’s called Longlasting Tint I think, sorry thrown the box away. You paint it on, leave for between 20 mins and 2 hours then peel off, really simple although you look a bit mad while it’s on!

Thanks somewhere I’ll give it a shot!

Does it work where there is very sparse hair. The ends of my eyebrows are shit. I usually gel/powder draw them in. This sounds interesting

HollyBollyBooBoo · 01/09/2018 12:50

But it only lasts 3 days, I went back to properly dying them.

Youcantscaremeihavechildren · 01/09/2018 13:12

I dye mine but there's really nothing there to dye, always been fair thin and patchy. Even drawing them in looks odd probably because I'm doing it in a rush! This sounds great, I'll give it a go.

HollyBollyBooBoo · 01/09/2018 13:21

@Youcantscaremeihavechildren it will only tint what hair is there, it doesn't draw them on if you see what i mean? If normal tint doesn't help this won't either unfortunately.

Just a tip that there are a lot of similar products available in Asia

Oh and it certainly tinted the skin as well, not just hair. I have the same issue that I barely have any hair so normal tinting has very little effect.

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 01/09/2018 16:31

I love it, even though there’s little hair it tints the skin and makes me look like I have proper eyebrows for 3 days. I top it up with pencil but having the tinted underlayer means I look okay even on a very hot and sweaty day.

WilburIsSomePig · 01/09/2018 17:19

I ran out and bought this on tjr strength of this thread. #sheep

I am sitting with it on just now (only going to do half an hour for first one) and will report back later!

WilburIsSomePig · 01/09/2018 18:00

Absolutely bloody brilliant stuff. Looks a bit scary when you put it on and has dyed my skin a little bit (which is good, for me) and I'm honestly super impressed. Will leave it on a bit longer next time. Thanks for the recommendation
@SomewhereNow!

KatharinaRosalie · 01/09/2018 19:12

Careful not to leave it on too long though - if it's too dry, it will also pull hair out like a wax strip (bitter experience).

WilburIsSomePig · 01/09/2018 22:15

I left it on for half and hour and could prob do with a wee bit longer. Thinking 40 mins next time.

BeeFarseer · 01/09/2018 22:20

It's no good for me. It works exactly as it does for everyone else - on the first application. Then as it fades out, my skin goes bright orange. It's not a good look.

WilburIsSomePig · 01/09/2018 22:45

Then as it fades out, my skin goes bright orange.

Oh god. I'm waking up with bright orange eyebrows tomorrow aren't I?

oooompa · 02/09/2018 10:31

I've tried Maybelline tattoo brow a few times and it leaves my skin orange when it fades, plus the applicator you get with it is rubbish!

I use Just for Men beard dye and a clean mascara brush to tint my brows, I find it a lot easier to apply and it's a hell of a lot cheaper because one pack lasts ages Grin

damag · 02/09/2018 10:49

I bought the lighter shade (naturally blonde brows) and it went a bit ginger by day 2. Was wondering about trying the darker shade but leaving it on for less time???
