Gimmie Brow vs. Brow Drama

    High end makeup jumped on the brow band waggon for a few years now and now they have a competitor the drugstore. The drugstore is now coming out with brow products to reach more people as it is more affordable. Two of the more common brow products are the Benefit gimme brow and Maybelline brow drama. Both of theses products are similar in nature, they both have wands with product on them to add color and sculpt your brows. Both products are similar but here are there differences.

Price
   Benefit Gimmie Brow $30
   Maybelline Brow Drama $7-$10

Size
  Benefit Gimmie Brow 0.10oz
  Maybelline Brow Drama 0.23oz

Shade Range
  Benefit Gimmie Brow: Light/Medium or Medium/Dark
  Maybelline Brow Drama: Blonde, Soft Brown or Deep Brown

Brush
   The brush for the gummier brow is a nice size brush and has a nice length wand. The brush size is a good size for your brows and it reminds me of a mascara wand. The brow drama brush is completely different it has a ball on the end. At first it is odd to use but you get use to it. As much as I prefer the size of the gimmie brow, the brush for the brow drama picks up less product which makes it a little easier to apply.

Formula
  I do not do much with my brows to begin with because they are dark and are full. I use these products just to fill in my few sparse spots and to keep my brows in place. The formula for the gimmie brow feels light weight and doesn't weight your brows down. It adds a nice bit of color and fills in my sparse areas. It also dries fairly fast also.

Benefit Gimmie Brow

The brow drama I find takes a while to dry and it climbs my brows together. When I started to use it I followed the directions and would brush the product the opposite way my eyebrow hairs grows and then sweep them the way my brows grows. By doing this I found it took a long time to dry and my brows would feel heavy and sometimes clump together. Since my brows are pretty thick I know just comb them the way my hair grows and it works better for me.

Maybelline Brow Drama

Lasting Power
   Both of these products have great lasting power, even when I take my makeup off after a 12 hour day both products are still on my brows.

Overall
     I like both products each have there ups and downs and I would purchase either. After these products are used up I will repurchase but I believe that I will repurchase the Maybelline Brow Drama just because of the shade range is better for me. Overall I'm happy that the drugstore has starting coming out with brow products as they are more affordable and are more readily available to people.

Just remember that everyone has different opinions. Also everyone has different brow shapes and colors, as well as people may like there products to have different needs then mine. The Gimmie Brow or Brow Drama might work differently with you, and you may prefer a different one then I did.
