Rimmel Brow This Way

Brow This Way eyebrow gel

£3.99

I've been in love with brow gels for a while now, and it started with Benefit's Gimme Brow, which would probably still win in a gel-off if I'm being honest. But in the interest of budgeting (thank you student life), back when it was launched, I picked up this Rimmel version instead. Because my brows are so fine, both in colour and in actual hairs, using a brow gel before my trusted MAC omega actually packs a big punch in the finished effect. It helps define shape, and show me where I need more filling in particular.

Though the Rimmel Brow This Way is a much wetter formular than Benefit's offering, it's slowly grown on me. At first I wasn't too keen, but I've found that as long as long as I wipe off the excess that gathers on the end of the wand, it's really easy to get the coverage I want. It's also a bit thicker texture than gimme brow, so the effect doesn't look entirely natural if you're looking that closely.

I have the colour 002 medium brown, which is possibly a little too dark, but I wasn't expecting a perfect match as there are only 3 shades available. That said, for only £3.99, I think it's a really good product, and will definitely be getting this again when my current one runs out!

Have you tried this?
