    This clear brow gel did not work for me. I trim my brow hairs and groom them on a regular basis. I just like to add clear gel to shape them after applying my brow color. This did not hold or shape...

    I really love this brow gel. It’s not hard & crunchy. It had a nice natural hold with no flaking!

    This was terrible and so disappointing. No hold at all and I don't have unruly brows. Doesn't totally dry down so it gives your brows an unappealing gummy texture. It's absolutely nothing like ABH...

    I have very good full brows but unruly, always going down. I used to spray a bit of hairspray on the old mascara wand and run it through my brows, which did the trick every time, but I'm not sure...

    ABH's clear brow gel has been my go-to for YEARS but NYX's Control Freak takes the cake. The pros: doesn't smell like paint thinner, achieves a fluttery look while maintaining hold, and has a...

    I love this brow gel and I'm surprised to see such mixed reviews. It has good hold without being overly crunchy. The price is reasonable at $6 and the packaging is nice. The brush is a little bit...

    I tried using this many times, but it did absolutely nothing. My brows are thin so I have to build them up with NYX micro brow, but the hairs always fall downward in the opposite direction of the...

    Run. This make my brows look like I ran in the snow. In the end of the day there are white flakes over your brows.

    I usually wear a tinted brow gel but recently, I've been feeling like my brows look quite heavy. I am not a lover of the overdrawn 'instagram' brow so always look for products to make my sparse...

    I'm a big fan of the "Anastasia - clear brow gel" and for sure the NYX brow gel isn't a dupe for the Anastasia one. The "Control freak" sets the eyebrow hairs in place but it doesn't work on those...

    My eyebrows look and feel like they have hairspray on them, but I don't really mind. It isn't prefect at keeping every eyebrow in place, though it's better than nothing. I would love for the wans...

    An absolute NO from me. It gets the job done (meaning it hold my brows in place) but I can't stand the fact that this flakes so much!! Save yourself the embarrassment of eyebrow "dandruff" in public.

    Love this product! Helps set the brows in place all day (my brow hairs get long so it's difficult to control them). It doesn't leave them looking or feeling dry and crusty. The one thing I would...

    The applicator picks up too much product, so I always have to wipe the excess off on my arm/leg etc... I don't think this does a good job keeping the eyebrows in place either.. Wont buy again.

    Bought this recently on the nyx website, highly unsatisfied. Difficult to get the right amount of product onto the wand. Leaves residue and flakes. Even for a basic clear brow product it's bad.
