Queen of the Fill Tinted Eyebrow Makeup Gel Cruelty Free (4g/.14oz) by Elizabeth Mott (Auburn)

I bought this product because it has excellent reviews. I chose the "Brown" shade because it matches my eyebrow color. However, the actual color is black. It looks terrible on my eyebrows; I've attached photos so you can compare and make a better decision when choosing a shade.

Works incredibly well.

fair color matching. good spread. dries well.

Out of all the tasks in my makeup routine, my eyebrows take the longest. I have blonde lashes and brows that cannot be seen from a distance of about 12 inches from my face. They also require a steady hand to fill in just where the hair is, and the final result looks okay from 12 inches away from my face, but up close looks like blonde hair with a darker background. From the reviews, I was thinking this product would color the hair as well as the background, making it faster and looking more natural, but it still requires a steady hand as well and a different application method that I'm still figuring out. I have also been trying to lean in to the "strawberry" that is my "strawberry blonde" hair, and I chose the auburn for that effect. However, this auburn doesn't have much red to it and is almost exactly the same color as the NYX brunette color powder brow shadow I've been using for the last 20 or so years. I guess I should also disclose that even though I have been using the NYX formula, I don't usually use the brow wax that comes with it, because I tried it way back when I started using the powder and I couldn't get the hang of the application - which have me bushy eyebrows, rather than the more natural, darkened brows. So, maybe I'm just not used to wet or damp formulas. I'll probably continue to use this until it's gone, but I don't think I'll purchase it again unless I somehow figure out a way to make it apply better/more cleanly or faster.

The color is as shown in Amazon.com advertisement. As an older person, I apply, wait for some drying, and brush off excess. Eyebrow gel covers grey hairs,and leaving gel on to dry KEEPS the grey covered. Shapes nicely. Enough content to last at least one month - I've put it on my SUBSCRIBE list. Only thing that I would recommend is to improve finding the tint/shade either on the package or canister - I have 3 different shades and have had to mark them clearly myself AFTER I've opened it.
