I used to use darker shades of matte eye shadow as my eyebrow powder. For instance the ELF Mad for Matte has nice black, gray and dark brown colors that I often mix to fill in my eye brow. However, after my eye shadow palette expired (mind you, it’s not even half finished! This reminds me that I should try to apply eye shadow a bit more often, and next time I will buy a smaller eye shadow palette lol), I decided to try some other eye brow products and I picked Milani Stay Put eyebrow gel.

Shade:

It has 8 shades, and I picked the Dark Brown. The color is quite natural for my eye brow, however, a little bit too light if I want my eye brow to be more visible on the picture, since camera “eats” a lot of colors. I wonder if that new shade (unavailable in Sweden yet) called Chocolate Brown provides more dramatic and intense color. But for everyday use, it’s perfect.

Ingredients:

Isododecane, Dimethicone, Dicalcium Phosphate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Trihydroxystearin, Polyethylene, Mica, Quaternium-90 Bentonite, Polybutene, Octyldodecanol, Polyisoprene, Propylene Carbonate, Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate, Talc, BHT. +/- May Contain: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499).

VEGAN. NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS.

Application:

Stand out by filling in, like a pro. Choose your closest match or combine two shades to achieve the most envy-inducing brows imaginable. Using the angled brush, pick up a small amount of product to outline brows. Fill in by applying color in the direction of hair growth or layer for added intensity. Use the spoolie end of the brush to groom and blend. Remove excess product from brush and close lid tightly after each use.

User Experience:

I used my own brushes to apply the gel and they tend out to be quite natural. It blends quite well. It’s also quite long lasting, especially during the windy days, unlike my previous eye shadow, this stays well instead of becoming tiny powder dots blown somewhere else other than my eye brow.

Package:

The gel was in a cute little glass jar, which is quite steady and it keeps the gel fresh. Although the brushes comes with the product tends to be a bit too stiff. As I don’t have very bushy eye brow, it’s easy to get the product outside of my eye brow lines. I would prefer to simply buy the product alone without the brushes.
Use within 6 months after opening.
