Express Brow Fast Sculpt Gel Brow Mascara
Summary of Reviews
Maybelline's Express Brow Fast Sculpt Gel has a dual-bristle brush that fills and fluffs brows with impressive hold, per Emily Noel. Sophdoeslife confirms it's truly waterproof — she's worn it in the sea — but warns it's quite hard to remove. However, MakeupByCheryl reports that the medium brown shade pulls red, creating a "bleeding brows" effect, so shade selection is critical.
