Catrice Eyebrow Filler - Perfecting & Shaping Gel

I have been looking for a good, brown eyebrow gel for quite some time now... I wanted something that wasn't too expensive, as I don't really have a lot of money. :-p
Most of the eyebrow gels are transparent, but I wanted a brown one. I guess I'm just lazy and wanted something easy and fast to do my brows on daily basis.

In the past, I always had to use at least 2 products to do my brows. First I would use an eyebrow pencil and then use a clear brow gel to tame the hairs. Or I would use the e.l.f. eyebrow kit which consists of 2 steps: the wax and the powder.
So either way, each day I had to use (too much) time to do my brows.

Recently I bought the Catrice Eyebrow Filler in Kruidvat. The website mentions that the neutral color will suit everyone....? At first I was doubting to get it or not, because it mentioned 'neutral color'. I have black-brown hair, so I need a dark brown eyebrow color. Eventually I decided to give it a try, as it wasn't too expensive. The catrice website mentions €3,59 which is a reasonable, relatively cheap price.



I think that the packaging is simple and exactly as it should be. The tube has a slight mirror effect which makes it a bit more chique. The brush is just a regular eyebrow brush, nothing special.
The brow gel is brown, not too light and not too dark (will this really work on me???). The consistency is quite good, not too runny but not too thick. It applies on easily and leaves no clumps.

Here a picture of my before and after brows:

In the before picture you can clearly see the seperate hairs and some sparseness in my brows. Also some hairs (at the end of my brow) are a little resistent and don't follow 'the flow'.
After using the Catrice Eyebrow Filler, the brows look more full, smooth and soft. The gel also keeps all the hairs in line without clumps or making it look too wet/'gelled'.
If you want darker brows then just use a few more layers of brow gel, the gel color will go darker as you build it up.
 
I personally really like this eyebrow gel, it's easy and quick to use on daily basis. If I really want more defined and shaped brows, I would still use an eyebrow pencil.
For my daily make up I just follow the natural shape of my eyebrows, so this eyebrow gel is the perfect tool to achieve this. As I don't have a lot time in the morning, this brow gel is a must-use-product for me :-)
 
If you know any good brown brow gels, please let me know below!
