#Brow flick review professional#

Inspired by the professional hair stroke technique, fine-feathering brush strokes transform sparse brows into fully formed, dimensional arches. I do think the shade range is rather limited for both but especially for Glossier. Blond seems rather red-toned in the official swatch but I've seen it look more neutral in other swatches, Brown seems like it'd work for lighter brunettes, and Black for darker brunettes/people with black hair. Glossier Brow Flick comes in three shades: Blond, Brown, and Black (my shade). There are not many swatches available of the Ardell Stroke a Brow but Taupe seems like it'd suit blonds, Medium Brown seems like it'd be good for lighter brunettes, Dark Brown for darker brunettes, and Soft Black for people with black hair. The Ardell Stroke A Brow comes in four shades: Taupe, Medium Brown, Dark Brown and Soft Black (my shade). The Brow Flick has a ball in the container to help mix the formula when shaken. The Glossier Brow Flick always manages a very consistent flow of product from the bristles whereas the Ardell Stroke a Brow tip sometimes dries up mid application requiring you to brush it onto your hand to get the flow going again. The Glossier Brow Flick has a spring loaded cap, which I think prevents it from drying out too quickly. What does differ is the cap and the internal mechanism controlling flow from the bristles.

The brush tip for the Ardell is ever so slightly longer, though the overall shape and flexibility is virtually identical and comes to a nice point. With Ardell, you get more than double the product for less than half of the price of Glossier.īoth come as slim pens with a brush tip applicator. 016 oz vs.01 oz but it's still not that much product. I did a conversion and 0.48 ml is more like. Glossier is only available online or in their stores in LA, NY, etc.Īrdell is $8.00 for. Where to Purchase: Ardell is available at Ardell Beauty, Sally Beauty Supply, and ULTA. Your experience may vary if you don't have any microblading. Now keep in mind, I had microblading done and still have some residual pigment. History over, onto the review and comparison!

Lime Crime, Maybelline, Stila, and Suqqu's seems to fall in the first category while MAC and Urban Decay's are more like the second. Brow pens seem to fall into two categories, a less pigmented watercolor stain that gave some definition but mostly fills in color or a more pigmented color that gives control for more hair-like strokes. I do think the interest in liquid brow pens increased after microblading took off and people started preferring the look of a natural/bushy brow. There are other brands who've had it in their range for much longer like Stila though perhaps one of the original liquid eyebrow pens is from Suqqu (not sure if they were the first) as my earliest recollection was in 2010 when it was featured in a Lisa Eldridge video. So liquid eyebrow pens seem to becoming more popular lately with brands like Lime Crime, MAC, Maybelline, and Urban Decay. (If you’re after an extra-defined look, use this to brush up your brows after – it's the perfect double act.I tried to be as in depth as possible and have included swatches, compared the packaging, pricing, and tested the wear. There are three shades to choose from, and they're all perfectly matched to the original Boy Brow gel. That said, once we'd mastered the art, the finish was one of the most flattering and natural-looking we've ever seen: think full, bushy brows with no tell-tale lines or harsh edges.

Starting with a clean canvas is the key to success, so ensure your brows are free from moisturiser and other products before starting to draw.

However, that's not to say that Brow Flick is a foolproof product – we did find it took a couple of trial runs to master the art, as the pen is so fine and the ink quite fluid. What's more, once the ink is dry (in a matter of seconds), it really doesn't budge, so you won't need to re-do your brows throughout the day. The secret is the slightly translucent finish of the ink, which means your strokes will blend in seamlessly with your natural hairs, giving brows a subtle boost rather than a total reboot. The idea is that you use the paintbrush-style brush nib to draw precise strokes into your arches, filling in any sparse areas and neatening the edges of your natural brow shape. So many brow products can make your arches look harshly drawn-on, but not this innovative pen.
