Most people wouldn't leave their house without their keys, wallet, phone, underwear on — you know, things a person needs to be a functioning human on the grid. Totally same and all, but add eyebrows to that list for me. My brows are the one thing I don't leave the house without touching, whether it's a little pencil definition, some pomade brushed through, or some casual brow tattooing. No, I don't mean microblading. The Tattoo Studio Brow Gel is a stain for your brows that, once set, is completely waterproof, smudge-proof, and sweatproof — for up to two days. You know what you could do with up to two days' worth of brows? According to Maybelline New York, quite a bit.

The Tattoo Brow Gel (which won a 2018 Best of Beauty Breakthrough Award) is a bit like a hybrid of a brow marker and a stain. It's either a thick liquid or a thin gel — I can't decide — but that's the consistency of the stuff. (It doesn't drip, but it glides as if it would.) The gel stains the skin underneath your brows and, yes, it does simultaneously tint the brow hairs a bit by default since you're slathering it over your entire brow, but it mostly works by tinting the skin. And then once it's set...it's basically squatting for the next two days.

The secret is a clever mix of the same film formers and polymers that give waterproof mascaras and hair gels their longevity, cosmetic chemist Ni'Kita Wilson told writer Victoria Kirby for our October 2018 Best of Beauty issue. And because the film formers are flexible, they seal in color without making brows stiff.

The application is a bit tricky but really easy once you find your own method. The wand has a fuzzy doe-foot-like applicator that is great for filling in your brows, but you may need something a bit sharper to define the edges. An angled eyeliner brush does the trick just fine for that part (the product doesn't come with one so you have to provide your own). I'll swipe a small amount of the gel from the beginning of my brows toward the ends, and then pick up some product with my angled eyeliner brush to get my tails looking nice and sharp. It comes with a separate spoolie brush to clean up any excess gel that gets stuck in your brow hairs.

It lasts the 3 days that it promises, but even with my ginger hair, the colour was wayyyy too warm for me.

Unfortunately, I was not one of the lucky ones when it came to this product. It earned an extra lippie because application was easy and it did give me a great color after the first application....

Overall this product does work well. It lasted around 3 days with me and it saved me doing my eyebrows for 3 days! However I do think you can get an equal if not better result using brow tint kits,...

This stuff is great. I have 'dark brown' and it is certainly dark, which is good for my black (brown-black) hair. Leaving it on the recommended 20 minutes leaves me with borderline too-dark brows,...

As someone with a red tint to my hair and pretty thick-but-need-help-in-spots eyebrows this worked great for me. A little pricey for henna, but I appreciate the packaging and applicator. If I apply...

My brows are overplucked from years ago, so they are dense in some spots, and basically bald at the tail. I love dyeing my brows when I touch up my hair, because the way it stains the skin along...

The most expensive henna I've ever purchased. Works well enough, but I feel like a sap for shelling out $12 for this product when I can get better henna at my local South Asian grocery for less.

This is a great brow gel. It has tremendous staying power. It lasts all day and does not smudge or fade at all. It looks the same in the evening as when you applied it in the morning. I do find...

As a older member (62 years young!), I've found my eyebrows have faded with age. Worse yet, some hairs have gone completely white - not a good look IMHO. I could tweeze out the white hairs but that...

I'm kinda on the fence. I like it somewhat but it's not worth the work. I use a pencil to lightly outline my brows and a tiny bit of powder for filler, then this over top. It kinda helps meld all...
