WunderBrow Review

Hi Gorgeous,

As you know, I'm hooked on brows and mine take me at least 10min everyday to do.  Between them being thin, unevenly shaped, and with little to no hair growth in the front, I shape them and fill them in every.single.day! And it's exhausting  :(

So, like may of us brow focused gals I follow tons of threading, waxing, tinting, shaping, filling, tattoo, and micro-blading Instagram's and YouTube accounts.  Now with Instagram's new algorithms and interest based Ad's it was with no surprise that a 15sec Wunderbrow tinted gel Ad popped up on my feed - and within seconds I had it in my Amazon Prime Cart (along with high hopes and expectations!).

2 weeks into it's use and I'm ready to review it!  

Cost:  at $22.00 its right on par with many other high end brow products.
What you get:   Tinted Gel and Spooley
Claim:  (taken directly from Wunderbrow website)


  • Long lasting - stays on until you decide to take it off.
  • Transfer-Proof - will not transfer onto your clothes.
  • Budge-Proof - will not smudge if you rub.
  • Water-Proof - shower, swim, workout, Wunderbrow stays put.



  • Hair Fibers - fill in sparse areas for a natural look.




  • My thoughts:
    Long Lasting -YES - lasting days (as on Instagram ad) or until I take off...not so much.  First off, ANY oil based remover will take the gel off.  I have a naturally oily t-zone, which encompasses the forehead, so I've noticed that I'f not controlling my t-zone as usual the gel will come off a bit easier than my t-zone is under control.

    Transfer-proof - YES, this I have found to be true which makes snuggling, wearing sunglasses and hats worry-free.

    Budge-proof - Pretty Much ... again back to my point with long lasting; If you have oily skin or touch your brows with oily fingers you will get some product that comes off.  Of course, not as much as if you were just using a powder or pencil.

    Water-Proof - YES! I tested this the last 2 times in the shower.  It lasted throughout the shower  (NOTE* I did not use my soaps as I normally do) and so I cannot wait to wear in the summer on pool/beach days.  I would be interested to see if you run into an issue if applying sunscreen throughout a day in the sun/water.

    Hair fibers-  I definitely notice that when I use this gel my brows absolutely look fuller, which is a plus.

    Final review:
    This is YOUR product if you have sparse brows or are just looking to spruce your brows up without having to worry about accidentally touching your brows or transfer etc.  For me, this will be my go to in the summer for its longevity qualities as well as being waterproof.  However, for my needs of filling in the areas that I have no hair growth, its not the best.  The reason is mostly because its a tint and I need to make believable hair strokes in the area when I actually have no hair.

    Would I buy it again .... hmmm I feel like its going to take a very long time to use up the entire tube BUT when/if I should I think I would consider buying it again (but lets see how it does for me during the heat/sweat/water/sun lotions of the summer).

    Current Skin Care Routine

    Hi Gorgeous,

    Since my wedding I've been trying so hard to keep up my skin care routine and I am truly noticing a difference.  Here is my current A.M / P.M skin care routine:

    5:30am
    Struggle to wake up (lol) and turn on the coffee pot!
    After brushing my teeth, I begin prepping my skin for the day:
    • Wash my face with warm water / splash with cold water right at the end
    • Dry with clean face towel
    • Apply eye cream: Currently loving Mario Badescu Hyluronic Eye Cream
    • Apply face moisturizer: Currently using MURAD Oil Control Moisturizer SPF 15 PA+++
    • Apply chapstick of choice!
    After applying my eye, face, and lip moisturizer I enjoy a cup of coffee while it all sinks into the skin. Once my coffee is done and my face feels almost dry (a little tacky) I begin my makeup routine :)

    9:45pm
    After a long day, there's nothing more I'd like to do that just put my PJ's on and head into the bed BUT we all know leaving the days face on is a skin-care 'no-no' so I head to the bathroom for my nighttime routine.  
    • I use CVS brand makeup remover wipes in lavender to remove all my face makeup.
    • Because it's important to be gentle around the eye area, I use a cotton swab with either Bioderma or Lancome Bi-Facil to remove my eye makeup.
    • Wash off any remaining product using Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser (every other day I use this cleaner in conjunction with my Clarisonic to assist in a deeper clean).
    • Once a week I tone with either the Mario Badescu Aloe toner or the Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid toner
    • Apply eye cream:  RoC Retinol Correxion Eye Cream
    • Apply face serum: OLE HENRIKSEN Truth Serum Vitamin C collagen booster
    • Apply face oil:  OLE HENRIKSEN Pure Truth Vitamin C Youth Activating Oil
      • OR Apply face cream:  EMBRYOLISSE Lait-Creme Concentre
      • Apply Bite beauty Agave lip mask
      annndd after all that, I'm officially ready to crawl in bed, kiss my hubby 'goodnight', and pass out :) 

      Sometimes I, obviously, need to cater this routine towards certain skin issues I may be experiencing at that time.  I've been really happy with my skin and hope it continues to improve (although I am itching for another PCA peel!).

      Cheers to a beautiful you,
