LIKE it... use it every time I put on makeup. Keeps brows neat and shaped. HAve it in the lighter shade. I looked at the tube and thought oh no its too dark but its actually not when on. You have to swipe it on a few times anyway so it would take you along time to overdo with color. Does not look crunchy or stiff.

This stuff is great. My brows are already dark and full, so I am using the clear. It keeps my brows tidy and in place all day, and doesn't flake. My brows do feel slightly hard (but don't look it), but I actually like that because I know that they're locked into place. This product is expensive, but worth it.

I can't understand the reviewer below hating this product. I think it's great. I have hardly any brows and i use this to enhance the hairs that i do have. Perfect brown and perfect definition!

Yuck, this brow gel was horrible! I bought it in shade meduim to dark and it turned out a dark chalky brown, almost black color on my brows. The formula is runny and it streaked all over my eyes. I'm not shocked tho b/c Benefit spends way too much money on cutesy packaging and not enough on quality products, IMHO. I was looking for a quick and natural way to enhance my brows and this was not it!!!

This is my favorite product out there, I have acne prone skin so I can't even wax my eyebrows and truth be told in High school I was addicted to plucking. I did not pluck my eyebrows off, I just had this thing about perfection... Anyways, I put this on, and my eyebrows stay put all day, and I don't have puney eyebrows I have thick well groomed (w/army scissors I comb up and cut) black eyebrows. It does not get cakey or clumby and I have not experienced any break outs from it. simply perfect.

This stuff is great, I'm already on my second tube. It keeps my brows neat looking all day and provides just a hint of colour. It doesn't make them look overly made up or make them super crunchy and hard. The best is that it's so quick, a few swipes and my brows are great all day. The only downfall is the price, it's pretty expensive for the amount, but at least it lasts a while.

Excellent product from a brand i have a very love/hate relationship with! I have sparse over plucked brows that i fill in with a bit of e/b pencil (clarins retractable in blonde or EL brow pencil in soft brown)then set the hairs with this gel in the light-med shade. Stays put all day and doesnt give that fake look i got from mac's brow gels. Very very natural. I have this in the darkest shade too, when i feel like going brunnette and i get so many compliments on my brows. Yes i would purchase again as i have tried many HE brow gels, and this is really the best but it is kinda expensive for a brow gel so im guna look at some cheaper alternatives. UPDATE: THE best!

Minimal color, of no use in filling in sparse brows, provides no hold. I can't imagine who would be pleased with this product.

If you want tidy,well-groomed eyebrows in a flash then this is the product for you. I use the darkest shade and it covers any 'gaps' I have from over-plucking, and lasts all day without making my eyebrows feel stiff.

This has become my favorite brow product! I use it in light to medium and it matches my dark blonde eyebrows perfectly. It's not a gloppy as Lancome's brow gel and is more natural than the pencils I have tried. I have already repurchased it and will continue to repurchase.

I have thick, bushy, unruly eyebrows and I absolutely MUST have something to set them in place otherwise they seem to take on a life of their own. Despite this whole "crazy brows" fad which seems to be quite the rage, I don't adehere to it. I've tried dozens of eyebrow gels in the past, from many different companies for various amounts of time. I've found most of them to have sub-par formulation; they flake after a few hours, or they lack the hold needed for an entire day of wear. Speed Brow is far from falling into either of these categories, instead it creates a brand new "Whoopie!" category. It goes on easily and gently tints my brows which gives them a more "uniform" overall look. It dries rapidly and really provides hold which lasted the entire day for me. My favorite bit about this brow gel is that it honestly doesn't flake like so many other brands. To check to see to what extent the gel avoids flaking, I ran a dry mascara brush through my brows after the formula had dried, and no flakiness occured. As a matter of fact, my brows still kept great hold after the brushing. I'm knocking off a lippy for the price of the product - for 18eu, I'd expect to recieve quite a larger tube. According to the amount of time it takes me to go through a tube, I may or may not repurchase (I don't see myself buying a new tube of this every month, at it's current price).

I love this product. It is very good at holding my brows in place. You can FEEL that they are stiffly in place, and not worry about checking them in a mirror during the day. I like that. The stuff doesn't flake off or look dandruff-like at the end of the day either. I gave Speed Brow 4 stars because it is not the easiest stuff to put on; sometimes too much goop is on the stick and it can make you run for a tissue, but I find that it helps if you just wipe off the excess goop before you try to apply.

I got this one in dark. Did not like it. It did color my brows, but it was too clumpy and smears easily. I wipe off the wand on a tissue before I apply it but that doesn't help. Perhaps getting it in clear would be better but then I'd rather just buy a clear mascara. Also this makes my brows quite hard!!

I didnt buy this, but I tried it at sephora. It dried very quickly, and my brows were set ALL DAY. I was really impressed. I bought benefit's other brow kit, that has the wax and powder and mini tweezers, and that is nice too, but I liked this better. Im tempted to buy this too, but its $16 and the tube is so small (think - the size of duwop's lip venom tube). eek. that is why it loses a lippie. but other than that, its fabulous!

Speed Brow does a pretty good job but it's not quite worth the money, will try some other brands recommended by MUA viewers.

Absolutely LOVE this product. Darkens eyebrows without that fake eyebrow look. Looks completely natural. Purchased 02-MEDIUM TO DARK. Sheer formula that doesn't clump. Easy application. Doesn't smear or flake and lasts all day. Would repurchase, but plan to try "Brow Polish" by Stila next time, since it's less pricey. (NC30/35, Asian.)

My brows are very sparse and thin. I had been looking for a way to fill them in for years, as I don't like the way it looks when I use a pencil. I found Speed Brow about 3 months ago and I love it! It does exactly what I wanted it to do. My brows look natural and perfectly groomed. It's pretty hard to mess up with this product.

Does a great job of keeping my brows tamed. I use clear and I've been bery happy with it, but if you don't have the money, there are less axpensive drug store brands that work just as well. I would buy this again, but will probably just finish this tube and go back to the less costly products.
