NYX Professional Makeup Control Freak Eyebrow Gel Brow Gel

1 point - for the beautiful tube
1 point - for the decent brush

This product does not live up to the manufacturer's promises. Does it tame even thick and unruly hair? No! It doesn't even tame well-behaved hair. It simply does nothing for my brows. I definitely do not recommend it!

I bought this gel and was disappointed. It had no practical effect. I usually love NYX products, but this one let me down. I won't be buying it again.

I tried this eyebrow gel and I absolutely don't see any effect from it. The packaging and brush itself are convenient, but the gel itself doesn't do anything(((( After the gel dries, the eyebrows remain the same as they were before. I don't recommend buying it, it's completely useless.

The gel doesn't leave any white residue, the hold seems to be okay, but it takes some effort to beautifully shape the eyebrows with it. The major drawback is the very unpleasant smell, something between alcohol and glue, it's just awful. On the positive side, the brush is not bad.

This is not the first time I'm buying this gel, and it feels like they've changed the formula. While before there was indeed good hold, now it's like the other reviewers mentioned - it's really as if it's just water. I'm disappointed.

I would like to add to my review after several days of use. This product is absolutely terrible in my life. It was my first time ordering from this brand and the experience was horrible. Not only does it not fix anything, but my eyebrows also turn out completely white, I don't know why. No matter how much or how little I apply, whether it's against the growth or with the growth, the result is the same - unfixed eyebrows and people commenting, "What happened to your eyebrows? There are white clumps on them."

This is just awful, a waste of money. It's just water that doesn't do anything at all. I do NOT recommend it...

This product is as useless as water! It doesn't do anything at all!

Good gel, it fixes eyebrows and leaves no residue.

I have been using this product for a little less than a month. At first, I didn't understand the product, as it didn't provide any fixation. However, I later realized the correct way to apply it, and the fixation is excellent. It lasts all day.

The brush is large and convenient to use.

There are no films or white marks if you apply the gel before foundation and powder. Otherwise, small pieces of makeup may end up on your eyebrows.

I didn't buy it here, but the gel doesn't give a mask effect on the eyebrows. However, the fixation is 50/50.

Unfortunately, it doesn't hold at all.

I really like this gel, it doesn't hold like concrete to the point of discomfort, but it's very good, and that's enough for me. As for leaving residue, I'm not sure because right after purchasing it, I use a separate brush, which I then immediately wash (because when the gel doesn't mix with makeup and so on, there is a risk of residue formation), so I don't have that problem.

I received this product from Germany in an Advent calendar. I did not like it at all. I have unruly eyebrows, and it does not fix them at all, whether there is or isn't anything. It leaves a white residue and flakes off.

It's not bad. The hold, for me, is sufficient. The brush is convenient, although there is a slight white residue. It's not a big issue. On the tips of the hairs...

This is already my second bottle. I really like it. It has a light hold without leaving any residue or lacquer effect.

I didn't really like it. The product doesn't hold the eyebrows of medium thickness at all, it only fixes the tip and not for long.

I didn't buy it here, but I still want to leave a review. I don't understand those who write something negative. This gel doesn't leave any white marks and holds perfectly! (I have thick and dense eyebrows). I definitely recommend buying it!

The gel did not live up to its promises. It does not provide any reliable hold at all. It is just as effective as using plain water to style your hair. Thank you for the makeup, the delivery was excellent.

Great, it holds the eyebrows well and the hair is of medium stiffness.

There's nothing to talk about with this product. It doesn't hold up, I just applied some water and that's it. I don't like it, I don't recommend it.

I didn't like it at all. I have thin eyebrows with very few hairs, and the texture of this gel is soft. However, it was unable to handle even such minimal brows. It is possible to comb the hairs with this gel, but it is not suitable for any kind of styling.

I have been using this gel for about a month and a half to two months. It gives my eyebrows a laminated effect, but if I brush my eyebrows after applying it, rub them, or touch them with clothing, white flakes appear (which looks bad). I also try to avoid getting it on my skin because it seems as if I applied glue. The hold/fixed effect is average.

Today I received this brow fixer. In short, it doesn't really fix anything (even considering that my eyebrows are not thick). It smudges brow shadows... I am extremely dissatisfied.

This gel is really good. It fixes the eyebrows quite well. It does not leave any traces behind. The big brush is convenient to use.

Excellent brow gel, it effectively holds the hairs in place. It doesn't leave any clumps. Highly recommended!

I have been using this gel for more than two years, and it does a great job of taming my thick eyebrows.

The fixation is there, but it doesn't last all day on long, thick eyebrows. I agree with the reviews below regarding the white film - it appears towards the end of the day, but not always. Perhaps it doesn't need to be applied too heavily. This is my first time using such a product, so I have nothing to compare it to - I will try a different brand next time.

The best gel I have ever tried, it lasts all day. I highly recommend it.

I do not recommend this product as it leaves a white film on the eyebrows. Not only can you feel it, but it is also very noticeable.

For me, it's just not worth it. It can't manage thick eyebrows or hold them in place. It can moisturize and comb them, but that's about it. I don't recommend it. I only recommend ArtVisage, and I will definitely go back to using it.

The product did not work for my eyebrows - it doesn't hold at all. I have returned to my favorite Artdeco once again.

The brush is similar to that of mascara, making it convenient to use. The product contains more volume than other "standard" gels. I will continue to purchase this gel in the future.

Great fixator. Does not take away the eyeshadow or eyebrow pencil. I highly recommend it.

This gel is amazing, it fixes and styles the hair very well, I am happy with this purchase.

It doesn't really look like a gel, it's much thinner than I expected.
BUT! It does its job excellently. My brows are not very thick, but they still lay perfectly! To achieve the desired effect, I apply it twice. If I don't rub it, the eyeshadow and brow pencil I use after applying this gel don't smudge (I tested it when washing my hair).
I also use it for my lashes.
The brush is convenient and dense, it distributes the product well.

I really liked this gel. It perfectly holds my eyebrows and lasts for a long time. I highly recommend it!

I have tried many gels from various price ranges, and this one has won my heart! The key is to get used to it. Of course, if you don't put on a sweater with a neckline carefully, it won't survive, but otherwise, it holds up great all day.

The gel is good and fixes well. It doesn't leave any marks on the eyebrows. I am satisfied. I have tried various ones, but I have settled on this one.

This gel is quite good as it provides good hold, but only if you don't have extremely unruly eyebrows and if you refrain from touching them. It dries to a small transparent film.

I really liked this gel! I have tried different ones before, but they all provided weak hold, while this one gives long-lasting results and, most importantly, without the "sticky" effect. I highly recommend it.

I bought the gel not for makeup purposes but in a store, and I am very satisfied with it as a fixative! It applies beautifully and holds its shape throughout the entire day.

Good fixation, I like it.

I really liked the gel, especially using it after the long-lasting eyebrow styling procedure. The gel is transparent and doesn't stick the eyebrows together. The eyebrows look natural.

I didn't buy it here, but the fixation is good and it's not very visible on the eyebrows. I have coarse, long, and unruly hair, but it holds all day. I give it a 4-star rating only because I have a favorite Mac shade, and when I use it, this one is no longer needed. However, when I fill in my eyebrows with a pencil or eyeshadows, this is a good product.

I didn't like it, it leaves white marks on the eyebrows, and it doesn't matter how much product you apply. I have thick black eyebrows, and it does NOT hold them in place at all.

I didn't like it, unfortunately, as it leaves white dried traces like dandruff.

Firstly, something that often worries buyers of such makeup products: the gel was packaged in mica. This is my first experience using a brow gel. Overall, I am satisfied with the result. There is a slight feeling of skin tightening, but I believe it is logical.

The gel works great for styling, it is transparent and leaves no white traces or clumps. It separates well and does not stick eyebrows together, making it convenient for daily use. The hold is a "4", but I believe it depends on the "stiffness" of the hairs. I am satisfied with the product.

I didn't like the gel. I bought it not at a make-up store, but at the official NYX store. It doesn't hold well! Besides, there are white flakes of this product left on my eyebrows, which looks like my skin is peeling off. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I never got the promised effect.((
