As a redhead with blonde eyebrows, I am always on the lookout for a quick fix (that isn't tinting- I will never do that again).
Anyways, I had come across this product a few times when browsing and I have always been curious about it. Since there were no cheaper alternatives, I decided to take the plunge one day when I was feeling particularly bold.

In terms of the product itself, I didn't notice much difference in the tint of my eyebrows, it really just managed to hold them in place. The packaging was awful, and after about two uses it felt like I was fighting to get any product out of the tube (hence the 2 lippies in that department). And can we talk about the amount of product for the price? I don't know what I was thinking.

I think it is just best I wait until a more cost-effective version comes out.

Although I like this product, in my humbleeeee opinion it's way to expensive for the little amount given. I have full eyebrows so I reallyyyyyy don't need much color, meaning that I can achieve similar results from any waxy hair product applied in a mascara type brush. That said, I am fond of the matte finish, hold and tube presentation (so I don't have to use several tools to groom my eyebrows), but I am not sure if I would repurchase.

This product delivers exactly what it promises: brows are held securely in place.

Use in conjunction with Benefit Brow Zings for an out-and-out belt and braces approach to brow manipulation/control!

great brow gel, faint brown tint (if you wipe some on your finger, you will see that it doesn't add too much color). for me, it stays on all day and doesn't flake. for those of you concerned about the small size of the tube-i just checked my purchase history on sephora, and was surprised to find that i purchased my spped brow two years ago, and it is just now running out!

Benefit is so gimmicky and this product is no different. The tube is tiny and the brush doesn't pick up any product - the directions to use the end of the spool to apply the gel first and then comb it through confirm this. The gel itself is very mediocre, doesn't dry 'crunchy' but doesn't last either. Far too expensive for such a lousy product.

I use this absolutely everyday and everyday I am still amazed at how it tames my mad brows and gives me an arch!
I love it so much! It's so easy to use, and really does make a difference, if you don't normally groom your brows you'll be surprised at what a difference it makes!!
and it does last a long time making the price not too bad either!
I Highly reccommend this to everyone :D

It is expensive for such a small tube ($16). But it keeps my unruly brows in place and gives it definition. The packaging is small so it is very convenient to carry around. It did not flake or "hardened" like Revlon Brow Fantasy. Very easy to use.

I have never used a brow makeup until recently when I discovered Speed Brow. Gosh, its such a user friendly product. After trimming my eye brows at a salon after I first did it 10 years ago (yes, I am lazy and I do not know hoe to shape my brows :P), I decided I need some grooming product for my newly shaped brows, and after looking at this on blogs (again!!), I gave this a try and lo & behold! This is such an easy to use brow product! This makes my brows neater and darker and more defined. Pity its such a tiny tube, I will definitely be buying this baby again once I run out :) <3

This is the only eyebrow product that looks natural on my already bushy brows. It has good staying power. I just wish it cost less.

In all honesty I'd never thought to use a brow product before, but my mom recommended it to me and I like it a lot. I don't necessarily need to darken my brows, so the slight tint of color is perfect for me. The main thing I love about this is that it keeps my brows in place. Sometimes between waxings my brows can get a little unruly, but a quick coat of this is all I need to give them a polished "just waxed" look.

This product was thoroughly "meh" for me. It wasn't awful, but it definitely wasn't worth the money I spent on it.

Hold: light-to-medium. It kept my brows tame for a couple hours but eventually I'd notice tons of wayward strays. Granted, my brows are unruly- but my cheapo Ardell brow gel does a better job of holding them.

Tint: Barely noticeable. It may work fine for light-to-medium brows, but mine are darker brown and you can't see a tint at all.

Packaging: Okayish. I noticed that as I got to the end it was hard to get the product at the bottom of the tube. Very annoying considering there isn't that much product in there anyway.

Overall: Not great, not worth the money. Might be okay if you have light brows that don't need much hold, but I'd try Ardell first.

This lasts ages and is really good for tinting your eyebrows ever so slightly. BeneFit Speed Brow also helps shape your eyebrows, not perfectly, but certainly very well, and when I eventually run out I will definitely buy this again, even though it is a little bit pricy.

I'm really glad I bought this, despite the price. I don't get a ton of hold - sometimes I'll look in the mirror and see wayward hairs but the slight tint is just what I was looking for! Adds more definition without being crazy dark.

This was a great accidental find. When I actually go to the nines and do my eyebrows I use Kevyn Aucoin's brow pencil then Anastasia brow gel but it's a little more time consuming than just a quick swipe of brow gel. I like the convenience of this and the subtle color. My best friend is a makeup minimalist and and she adores this so I had to try it. It hooked me right away.


My brows are pretty dark and this enhances the color and holds them in place all day without looking stiff. A big plus considering how shellacked some brow gel formulas can make my eyebrows appear. This looks very natural and soft. I'd buy this again as soon as I run out.

This is the first eyebrow product I've ever used and I love it! I use it daily! I have very dark eyebrows and they are naturally perfect shaped so I had never thought of using a brow pencil or things like that. I was slightly annoyed by the fact that my eyebrows got a little messy when I rubbed my eye area so I started searching for a product that can hold them up in place with light colour or no colour at all but not a hair glue( tight on your skin). This is the perfect one! My eyebrows look much more groomed which makes my whole face more radiant! And it lasts all day! Highly recommended for these with dark thick eyebrows.

I wish the color is darker. The staying power is great though. However the tube is so small.

The tube is very small for the price (0.10 oz for $21 CAD)...I guess I was hoping for an incredible formula to justify the price.

It comes in a single colour meant to be suitable for all types (light brown) but when you put the gel on you can't see any colour at all. You still have to fill in with a powder/pencil/etc. When the gel dries it can have some white flakiness left over your brows...I usually have to go over with a brow comb to make sure I get the obvious dried gel off. Don't think its worth it for the money...I'll be trying a cheaper drugstore brand next time.

This is surprisingly small for the price. It is actually a more or less clear gel although I had been under the impression that it was tinted. I have very fair brows and it does absolutely nothing to colour them in at all so I just use this on top of my regular brow powder,just to tame them into place. I could just as easily do it with petroleum jelly, and cheaper too.

In the past I have bought Boots No 7 Lash & Brow Perfector. I don't know if they still do it but if they do it's a much better buy because it's a very similar product and about three times the size. Both come with a mascara-type brush in the lid to apply with.
