Revlon-a-thon #1 : Brow Fantasy

I first discovered the Revlon Brow Fantasy because of a Youtube guru that I really like, MakeupByTiffanyD. I also bought it because it contains both a pencil and a brow gel which is very convinient. I've really got into filling  brows two years ago when my mom got a brow kit from Lise Watier. I saw a really big difference on her and I got myself a Nars brow pencil which I really like. I was looking for a brow gel but I just never bought one. 


I have to say that I'm a little picky with my brows when I fill them. I prefer to use two shades of pencil because it looks more natural. I use my Nars pencil in Jodhpur, a neutral warm brown on the inner part of my brows and the Brow Fantasy on the ends. I finish the look by adding a thin coat of the brow gel and I'm done. I picked the shade Dark Blonde since I'm very pale but I want to try the shade Brunette. 

I like the pencil part but it's not my favorite because it's not sticky enough. The Nars pencil that I use is dry but the formula seems to act like a wax and I prefer that. The pencil on the Brow Fantasy is OK in my opinion for the second part of my brows(arch+end) but I wouldn't use it for the entire thing because it doesn't stay well enough. I find that it fades a lot during the day, even with the brow gel. Talking of the brow gel, I don't like it much. I think that the formula a bit too liquidy. I also don't really like the tint of it. It turns my eyebrows a bit too ashy for me and the gel doesn't "disappear" completely. When I wear it, if you know a bit about makeup and you look at my brows, you will see the gel. It makes strikes of color on the hair and that's what I don't like. Maybe it's because of the shade but I'm pretty sure that the Brunette would be a bit too dark. I think that If you like a gel that's on the liquidy side and you have the right eyebrow shade, this is a product you may like. As I said, it's some people's favorite so you just have to try it I guess!
