SUPERB!
Summary
Maybelline's Tattoo Brow Gel lasts long but needs practice to apply. Its quick-dry formula might be an issue for novices. Great color, easy brush, but can clump if applied incorrectly. Best for experienced users with a thicker brow shape.
Are you looking for a long-lasting eyebrow gel that will give you sculpted, full brows? Then the Maybelline Tattoo Brow Styling Eyebrow Gel might be worth checking out. This drugstore product claims to deliver up to 36 hours of wear with a waterproof, smudge-proof formula. But does it live up to the hype?
Our team tested this for over a week and discovered that while this is long-lasting, you will need some practice to ace the look.

How To Apply (Brand Recommended)?
As per the information on the website, here’s how you should apply this gel:
- Step 1 – Wipe any excess eyebrow gel from the brush on the neck of the bottle.
- Step 2 – Using short bristles, comb against the direction of hair growth to coat each hair with Maybelline Tattoo Brow 3-Day Styling Gel.
- Step 3 – Using long bristles of Maybelline Tattoo Brow 3-Day Styling Gel, comb forward, and brush hairs up and outward to define and set.
How Did We Test This?
We used the brow gel on 4 team members who closely matched the shade we purchased. Those with an experienced hand were easily able to use this without messing up the shape or the size of their brows. The inexperienced ones had to struggle a bit as this is quick drying and needed to be settled well quickly.
Although it doesn’t feel heavy (like most gel based brow products), it can get clumpy if not worked with quickly. So make sure you practice a little before using it on any big occasion/full face of makeup.

What We Loved!
- Long-lasting: This brow gel truly lasts a long time, even through a mild face wash or two. You will really need to scrub it out with soap/makeup remover to remove it. The 3-day claim may be a stretch, but this is surely long-lasting.
- Easy to apply: The angled brush applicator makes it easy to fill in sparse areas and create definition. Think of a mascara wand with a more liquid texture for your brows.
- Superb pigment
- Available in a range of shades: With four shades to choose from, you should be able to find a good match for your hair color.
What Can Be Improved?
- Can be clumpy: A common complaint from all the team members was that the gel can get clumpy if you apply more than 3-4 strokes. Our tip? Be sure to start with a light hand and build up the color as needed.
- Drying quickly: Because this gel dries down quickly, there’s not a lot of room for error. If you make a mistake, it can be difficult to wipe it away. So the key for the perfect shape is PRACTICE. .
- Not ideal for very thin brows: The high-pigment formula can be too much for those with very sparse brows. For those with thin eyebrows, a pencil might be a better bet.
- For those with thicker brows, here’s a warning! You may end up looking a little like the grinch if applied in uncontrolled quantities. So build up as you go.
Keep In Mind…
Your skill level matters: If you’re a makeup pro, you’ll likely be able to handle the quick-drying formula of this gel. But if you’re a beginner, you might find it easier to use a brow product that’s more forgiving, like a pencil.
Your brow shape: This gel works best for those who already have a defined brow shape. If you’re still trying to figure out your ideal brow shape, you might want to use a brow pencil first to sketch your desired shape before filling it in with the gel.
Overall Impression
The Maybelline Tattoo Brow Styling Eyebrow Gel is a good option for those who want a long-lasting, waterproof brow product. However, it’s important to be aware of the potential drawbacks before you buy it. If you have very thin brows or are new to using brow gels, you might want to try a different product that’s more forgiving.
Ultimately, whether or not the Maybelline Tattoo Brow Styling Eyebrow Gel is right for you depends on your individual needs and preferences. We give the long lasting formula, the easy wand applicator and the pigment a thumbs up! This is quick drying and novices might find it hard to use.
