Video reviews
Best for
  • • Sparse or over-plucked brows that need volume and tint in one step
  • • Blonde, red or grey brows that need a matching shade
  • • Straight or short lashes that need length without smudging
  • • Oily lids or watery eyes that break down regular mascara
  • • Anyone who wants mascara that comes off with warm water
Strengths
  • Moussey microfiber gel that bloggers say makes brows look fuller and fluffier
  • Holds brows in place all day without flaking, per Clean Beauty Critic
  • Ten shades, including Honey Blonde, Auburn, Grey and Black
  • Tubing film that users say doesn't smudge and rinses off with warm water
  • Lengthens and holds curl on straight lashes, according to repeat buyers
  • Eight shades, including brown-black, charcoal grey, navy, green and purple
Watch-outs
  • $26 for 0.12 oz, several times the price of drugstore tinted gels
  • Firm hold and color can feel like too much for a natural look
  • Dries fast, so users warn a second coat can clump
  • A few users say it pulls lashes straight or has started flaking
