    Bring back some of the old products

    I already purchased the gel for the eyebrows. I thought it was horrible and threw it out. Bring back the old eye brow pencils. They were highly rated and I used for decades. Very disappointed in your new products.

    Very disappointed

    6 months ago
    I use this product for a long time and loved it so much so I bought two every time to be sure I have always new one when I’m out. But I was so disappointed when my last 3 new ones was out of color no matter how many times I tried to shake them and the very little pigment that was released from the pen was even not the ash brown shade I use !!! So I’m so disappointed and just spent my 50$ for nothing !!!

    No, I do not recommend this product.

    Easy to use

    a year ago
    I was hesitant at first, I wasn’t sure how difficult the application was going to be with the tube being a little bit thick. It honestly didn’t matter it worked great. I love the easy application and how my eyebrows look. I will try how “waterproof” it is . Over all it is a great product .

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    "Build a Brow" Nope

    a year ago
    I would not recommend this brow product. I agree with the other gals about this brow product. It doesn't have a thick consistency, which it needs to show you have product on your brow, and it wipes right off even after letting it dry which it doesn't dry. Don't waste your money nor time on this product.

    Needs Improvement

    Bought this brow pen yesterday 3/10/25. Went to use it this morning, it was dried out. There was hardly any actual product that came out. I shook the pen before use as always (I do like the pen). Barely anything appeared. I even tried on a tissue, barely any product coming out. Very disappointing, because I really like this brow pencil.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    I naturally have thicker brows. But I also have little spots that are thinner. I thought this would help hide this. the pigment was a bit too light. but i did love the formula!

    Kind of smeared

    This product was so easy to apply and looked very natural while giving my brows that extra boost that was needed. My only complaint is that it takes a while to dry and kind of smears

    Two in one

    2 years ago
    I usually have three steps to my brows which is filling them in then gel and then hair strokes with liquid brow pen. I love that you get two of those steps in one pen. A gel to set and then the ink side to draw on the most perfect hair strokes to give a perfect final touch to your brows

    Very precise

    I liked this product a lot. the pen is very precise and it’s easy to get the small strokes in to make them look like hair. The gel end isn’t the best but it does the job. I just like adding ny own brow gel on top. good color choices too.

    Q: Why are people going past the inner corner of their eye to their forehead for eyebrows?

    a year ago
    1 Answer
    • A: Hi Sister162. Thank you for reaching out about Build-A-Brow. Rather than filling in your brows front to back, start at the center, where your arch is, and fill in the tails first. Brows are stronger and shapelier at the front, and tend to fade out past the arches. So when you clean up and enhance the outer halves, you might find that you don't even need to apply much makeup to the front. Hope this helps!
