There have been a lot more brow mascaras reaching the shelves in drugstores and I couldn’t be more excited! L’Oreal was one of the brands to do so, coming out with the Brow Artist Plumper. They don’t have a wide range of colour selections, which I find to be quite disappointing but I’m hoping that they will bring out more. Dark Brunette is more of a true brown. I have read many times that people are always searching for brow mascaras that have an ashy tone to them so if you are one of those people, then this brow mascara is not for you unfortunately! =(
The brush wand is perfect for the brows because it is not too large to the point where you have no control of where the product will apply but it’s not too small that it takes a long time to use. It is the perfect shape to quickly do your brows and I’ve found that it has been fantastic for me to use everyday when I’m in a rush.
My brows are already naturally quite full but the brow mascara does a great job at evening them out and setting them in place for the whole day. It does sort of make them feel a little stiff when you touch them but it’s not stiff enough that it feels uncomfortable or looks unnatural.
The brow mascara is very expensive (~$19) but in comparison to others such as the Benefit Gimme Brow, which is $35, it is not too bad. It also has a lot more product inside! I would definitely recommend this brow mascara for people who have been curious to try one but the colour range is quite limited, which I think is the main negative point of this product.
♡ Adds fullness to the brows
♡ Darkens/tints the brows
♡ Does not smudge
♡ Makes the brows feel stiff
♡ Expensive
♡ Limited shade range (missing ashier tones)
Disclaimer: Although I did not purchase the product myself, all my reviews regardless of how I received them are 100% honest and genuine!
Wow the price of drugstore makeup where you are is insane! I have this as well and really like it for easy makeup days 🙂

Great review! I’ve been eyeing this brow mascara because it’s drugstore and the shape of brush actually looks like it’s made for brows (unlike the weird ball one Maybelline came out with). It looks so awesome on you, shame about the price though!

Thank you! ❤ So true, the ball is a bit strange, I'm not sure what the purpose of it being that shape is LOL. o_o I know, the struggle of being an Australian and loving makeup. It's so expensive! 😦 😦

That is quite expensive where you’re at! It’s too bad to hear that they don’t carry more “ash” tones. I wonder what the blonde one is like if they have a blonde one. I have been very curious about this product. Thanks for the review! ❤

Yes definitely! The Dark Brunette would be too dark and it’d look quite harsh! That’s great, it’s always good when you find products that are perfect so you don’t need to change them up! 😀

You’re welcome! 😀 Thank you, yes it does leave that stiff feeling but it’s only if you touch your eyebrows! It’s not something you take notice of if you’re just going about your day! 😀 If it did, I would definitely hate the feeling too! :O I think you should try it anyway hehe.

Hi Dorkchops! Nice name by the way. Followed you from our mutual friend Cee from ajarofdreams.wp.cpm. Just wondering if you have a mascara to recommend. I’m not looking so much for length because I wear eyeglasses and hate it when my lashes smudge in my lenses. Looking for a more of a volumizing mascara with a non-waterproof formula. Thanks! 🙂

I do always take a look at this blog although I have to be honest, I have minimal interest in make up and ladies fashion, however, you do write very well and you put your posts together with a great deal of professionalism which makes it easier on the eye of one not so attuned to the vagaries of a lady’s world 😉
