Brow Gel Replacement

[millster]

So Gimme Brow was recalled. I like using brow gels to pull together my no-makeup look, especially for work and easy weekends. Otherwise I'll look washed out. What brand(s) would you recommend?

If you live near an Ulta, Essence has a product that is strikingly similar, called "Make me Brow," costs only 3 dollars and works just the same.

Why and when was it recalled?

I have been using ABH clear brow gel for years and i really like it. A few times i bought clear brow gel from MAC (but as ABH, they have tinted ones as well) and it was really good.

I love the ABH tinted brow gel now... I use it on days I don't feel like doing the full-on penciling routine, and it's pretty ideal for the natural-but-better look. It comes in a bunch of colors, too.

I like ABH brow gel as well. I have been using a clear one for years.

A nice brow gel replacement is clear mascara wich is usually cheaper since it is labeled as mascara and not a brow gel, but they are basically the exact same thing in terms of formula.

@millster My new favourite brow tamer is Brow Boss Gel ($6) by Colourpop, which I often pair with the Brow Boss Pencil ($5). Both work very well for me as the gel isn't messy, both are easy to apply, and don't flake or smear. Hope you find a good replacement! 💋

My secret is using the "Big" mascara brush from classic mabelline great lash in brown, a little watered down. Lifehack.

@firefly79 ~As far as it was stated, we only know that it was recalled as a safety precaution.

After the recall I had to return my unopened gimme brow and throw the sample I received in my play!box in the trash. After much reading I bought the Essence Make me brow. It costs $2.99 and works even better than gimme brow to be honest with you. It comes in two shades and you can purchase it at Target.
