I was shocked at how well the clear gel blended the pen pigment into my brow hairs and kept them in place all day without any crispy crunchiness whatsoever - seriously impressed

Touted by one impressed user as ‘by far the best’, this hard-working makeup essential from Maybelline is set to transform your brow game.

The clever Build A Brow boasts an ultra-precision pen that enables you to make hair-like strokes to mimic the look of real brow hairs, perfect for filling in sparser areas and giving your brows a fuller look.

On the other end of the pen, you'll find the sealing gel - a clear gel that helps sculpt and lock the eyebrows into place for an all-day, non-crunchy finish. 

Waterproof, humidity-proof, sweat and smudge resistant, the two-in-one brow tool helps to deliver instant natural yet real-looking brows, perfect if you’re lacking fullness.

‘The ease and usefulness of this product is amazing!’ wrote one five-star reviewer. ‘Creates lovely full brows with the pen side & perfect styled brows with the gel. Highly recommended!’

A second raved: ‘I’ve tried thousands of brow products and this one is by far the best.’

A third reviewer added: ‘For me, this is the best eyebrow pencil I've tried so far. I am very satisfied with the result, which is close to microblading.’

Delivering ultra-precise, hair-like strokes that leave a natural finish, the Maybelline Build A Brow is the perfect way add some oomph to sparse-looking brows.

In fact, the brand describe the hard-working pen as leaving you with brows that ‘look so real you can’t tell it’s makeup’, leaving you with perfectly formed brows that look utterly natural.

Designed to stay in place all day, the two-in-one pen and brow setter ensure zero smudging, flaking or fading for stronger, fuller brows that last all day.

Take your pick from six natural shades to suit every brow type, from Blonde to Black Brown, warm toned to cool.

My eyebrow hairs are blonde, so I dye them every few weeks or so with the Eylure Dybrow, which keeps them full and pigmented.

However, as the dye starts to wear out, I often need to fill in a few gaps and add shape to my brows to keep them looking full and fluffy. The ‘microblading’ design of the Maybelline Build A Brow gave me hope that this step could be made utterly quick and simple. And it did.

I used the shade Soft Brown, and not only did it fill in any areas of sparseness within my brows with thin, precise lines, but it also added natural-looking shape and definition, too, while looking like I wasn’t wearing anything on them at all.

And the clear gel? I was in shock at how well the gel blended the pigment into my hairs and kept them in place all day without any crispy crunchiness whatsoever. Seriously impressed.

And the best part, the clever two in one pen comes in at under £10. An absolute steal.
