This product is one of my favorite.I sooo love this product because I am using it as a highlighter for harsh brows that I made from my brow pencil.This appears like magic! it can make your brows look stunning and every one is asking what brand I am using for my brows and it really matches my brown hair color. It stays so long and I do not need to retouch my brows. I am definitely gonna buy this product again.

One product I can't live without!!! Been using this for 3 years now. One tube can last for 6 months.
This product instantly brightens my face. I have colored my hair light brown and I was told in one of the make-up classes here in Manila that eyebrow be should be the same or ashade lighter. I usually approach girls with light hair color in the bathroom and ask them to try this product.
Pros:
- long wearing
- 1 tube can last 6 mo
- great effect
Cons:
- make sure to shake the tube and tap excess as it tends to be a little sticky
Netnet:
Must have!

WHY haven't I reviewed this product??? I can not tell you how many of these I have been through. This is one of my absolute HG products.
I can not live without it. I used a Revlon brow gel for years and of course, they discontinued it and I was devistated. It is amazingly hard to find auburn/reddish brow gel. Then somehow, someone, something recommended this and I never looked back. The price has risen a bit over the years I've used it, from $13.50 to $15.00, but still it is definitely worth the price. I dye my hair a deep auburn and this brow gel matches any shade I use, from Garnier to L'Oreal Feria. Another thing about this is that it lasts, and lasts, I can honestly say a tube of this will last you a good 6 months with regular use. The formula is excellent, very long wearing. I apply it in the morning and it does not move until I take it off. It is also very natural looking, most people cannot tell I am using something to color my brows red (also helps I have pale brows to begin with). It also helps people believe I am a natural redhead. I can not say enough good about this product. If you are a redhead or color your hair red, you NEED this. It also comes in a more burgundy shade, if you can find it. Cost is $15.00 on MAC.com

I love this! I have been coloring my hair lighter and this makes my eyebrows matched my hair. It tinted my brows lighter and it is perfect. I just think that it is expensive for a brow set. And I wish the brush is shorter and thinner so that applying would be easier as some who uses it has thinner brows.

It works great in terms of staying power(more than 8 hours and water resistant) and color payoff. Its only downside is the ease of application. The wand is a way too thick and wide when apply to my eye brow. So, the products can stain on my skin under my eye brow easily. Remember to always wipe off the excess before apply the cream/wax onto eye brow otherwise it will become so clumpy.

I first bought this stuff around a year ago in an effort to make my crazy dark and thick eyebrows a bit lighter, and I accidently got the wrong shade. At the time, I was more tan and had blond highlights in my hair, and it didn't look very good, very orange.
But now that I have paler skin and have dark brown/red hair, it's perfect. A light application is all you need, I then take a spooley or a brow brush and use it to distribute the color and shape my brows. It complements the red tones in my hair perfectly as well as giving my brows gorgeous highlights, and keeps my unruly brows in place without being stiff. Dries soft and natural. Definitely recommend this!

This is a HG product for me. Although I have medium to dark brown hair, my hair always lightens up to a medium shade of brown with golden/coppery tones (then i'll usually dye it dark again).. When my hair is at that stage... This brow set really helps my brows match my hair better. My brows are naturally very dark brown and I fill them in with a pencil or brow powder and then I set them with the Girl Boy brow set. It lightly coats my brow hairs with an auburnish tone.. And makes my strong brows look less intense/more natural and match better with my hair color.

This is the perfect color for my red brows! It's almost impossible to find a brow mascara that is suitable for redheads. They come out too brown, or too red, or too blonde. But this is the perfect mix of dark blonde and red. I already have very thick brows, so using this keeps me looking very natural and groomed without looking artificial. I'm not a huge fan of MAC, but the things of theirs that I like, I couldn't live without. This is definitely one of them. I at a bit of MAC Brow Crayon in Strut to lengthen my brows a bit, but the majority is Boy Girl. Apparently from the reviews, this works for many other hair colors as well. Completely necessary for me.

I'm sure it would work amazing for lighter brows but i actually use it to lighten my almost black brows ! Weird i know but it actually works ! Turns them into a nice brown color. And it sets my brows without making them hard and they look pretty good. I'll soon be getting clear brow gel too !

I can't begin to tell you how much I love this!!! I don't think I'll ever go without it. It's easy, it's pretty, it's just perfect for me.
I'm blonde with blonde eyebrows that are hard to see and not very full. I hate brow pencils so this is perfect. It is so easy to apply and if I make a mistake it comes off easily. The color is is just right for me, not too dark and not too light.

My friend lent me this when she went back to her normal hair color and I tried going reddish brown. Love how it lightens my brows instantly but application is a bit tricky, I think I end up putting too much on sometimes. Results look better when I fill in my brows with brow powder beforehand, but for when I'm in a hurry with just a bit more time, I use this by itself. My brows don't look as awkward with my hair after. Will definitely repurchase--it's expensive, yes, but you only need a bit at a time so it lasts you pretty long.

I was using Clinque's eyebrow pencil 02 dark brown, but my eye brows still looked strange. I picked up this product and started using it religiously for while, but now that I have a better eyebrow pencil, I only use it for certain looks. It doesn't particulary look natural, but does lighten up some of my smokey eye looks. It's good product, especially on my friends who have dyed their black hair brown.

I love this brow mascara! i dye my hair a lot, and it looks wonky when haircolor is brown/brownish reddish and my eyebrows are blackbrown.
It has a chemical smell, but the way it works by coloring/tinting my brows into a nice brown shade, i would keep repurchasing

I wouldn't buy this again bc i hardly reach for it and so prefer my clear browset over this. I only bought it bc i did have honey highlights in my hair and wanted to add some color to my brows with this, um it is ok, i like it bc it did warm up my brows but unike the clear this is a lil to obvious on my brows for my liking and now that my hair is sort of a reddish brown color i cant ever c my self reaching for this and i don't even know how it ended up in the redhead collection, makes no sense to me but whatever, to each his own. Only recommend to use lightly if you do have blond highlights.

MAC 'Girl Boy' Brow Set is from the Blonde Brunette Redhead collection. It is the Redhead brow set and I find it to be very pretty! I often pencil my brows in first then brush this in lightly over the top and it gives a beautiful 'highlight' to my brows. Very fresh color. Since my brows are dark this lightens them up and gives a brighter red to my brows. Very pretty. Don't use too much or it gets a bit stiff (I'm taking off one lippy for that.) As ususal, MAC did a great job. I would recommend this brow set to anyone who is a natural redhead or anyone who dyes their hair red.

I love this color and product overall. It keeps hairs in place, providing my brows with arch support! LOL This is like a golden, tan color and helps to warm up my brows. I use a brown pencil and then use this to tone down the color--it's almost like highlight for your brows. It's not sticky, nor hard. Love and would buy again. Luckily, this gets sent to my CCO quite often.
