It’s a good product for someone like me whose a student and always in a budget. I love setting my brows and pre coating my lashes with this product as it gets the job done.

I absolutely love this product. I think it's the best product for keeping your eyebrows in place for the entire day. I does not feel like 'gel' due to the thin consistancy. The only thing I don't like about this product is the fact that it weighs down mx eyelashes and I am not sure if it has something to do with the thickness of my eyelashes or not. If you're looking for a gel MASCARA, do not buy this product. But, it is perfect for keeping your eyebrows in place and super good for it's price which is amazing! Like I said..not recommended for your eyelashes.

About this Product:
Transparent gel mascara
Cares for lashes and styles eyebrows
Ophthalmologically tested

Quantity: 9 ml

Shelf Life: 3 years

Let’s talk about the formula first. Its consistency is thin just like a glue mixed with water. It says gel mascara but the consistency is nowhere close to a gel one. It smells weird.

When I apply it to my eyelashes it almost drips due to its thin formula. For few seconds it gives my lashes a lengthening effect but as soon as it dries up my lashes get back to normal. It separates the lashes. It doesn’t look like I’ve applied something. This was a major disappointment for me.
I also used it on my brows and it effectively tamed them. I’m not sure if this mascara is like that or I’ve got the defective product!

Pros:
Affordable price
Tames eyebrows well
Has a wand that separates and lengthens lashes

Cons:
Consistency is thin and nowhere close to the gel
Smell isn’t pleasant
Doesn’t give any curling, lengthening effect to eyelashes.

Final Word: This gel mascara didn’t work for me. Don’t expect any volume from this mascara since it’s thin but it tames eyebrows well and makes a good brow gel but not a mascara. I think someone with thick lashes can only make it work so it’s not really recommended from my side!

At one point my eyebrows I had decided to regrow my eyebrows, as I wanted to reshape them and make them fuller and more natural. The entire regrowth phase was a mess, I constantly looked confused because of my eyebrows. I started using the Essence eyebrow gel and the gel would hold for an entire work day, which was amazing, strands never moved out of place and neither did it make my brows tacky or sticky. This now a monthly product even though my brows are on fleek

An inexpensive goodie. It keeps my brows put all day and although it starts off clear, it takes on the colour of my eyebrow pencil colour. I love it more after some use because it becomes a "tinted" brow gel.

I only use it as a browgel as I find it makes my mascara a little "goopey" so I stay away from that.

Love this product!
I apply it before using my normal mascara.
Important to let it dry properly then apply your usual mascara.
Lengthens them, thickens them - pretty much a budget way to great lashes!

Absolutely love this nifty little product, it really has become an essential staple for my everyday on-the-go makeup routine.

This gel definitely helps me tame and maintain my unruly eyebrows! I only use this as a brow gel at the moment and it works best when I apply it before any other product, shape and colour and then a bit more to set it in place. This usually keeps my brows in place the entire day. Personally, I prefer a more natural daytime look and thus enjoy the lightweight gel, I wouldn’t recommend this for evening makeup where one would want a slightly more set brows and a less natural look.

At a price point of about R45.00 I would say it’s great value for money that you can easily integrate into your everyday routine.

I found that this product works especially well for my brows. It keeps them neat and in place pretty much all day. I also found that this product works quite well as a builder for eyelashes. If I apply it first and then let it dry before applying my usual black mascara over it - my lashes appear slightly fuller. :)

I absolutely LOVE this product. It makes my brows stay in place for hours and it also gives a natural look.

A GREAT BUY !!!

Its a good product but nothing about it had me writing home.

It applied easily and the original newly bought see through packaging are so beautiful until you start using it for a while and it gets product in it like foundation, powder, pencil and you end up with something you which you couldn't see through.

But other than that its a good old trusty product!

Absolutely love it! Kept my brows intact for an entire day! Kept the powder product in tact too :)

It gives a very natural look and its perfect if you dont like dark mascara on your eyes or if you are scared that your make up will spoil throughout the day! If a natural look is what you are looking for this product is perfect!

More often than not product fades... and this is not cute when the fading happened on your eyebrows!!! I often had instances when my eyebrow pencil would be gone by the end of the day *sigh* until I met this baby! I tested it out and it really works! you wont have to worry about your eyebrow pencil fading and it also gives your snatched eyebrows that final touch! LOVE IT

Ive been using this product for more than a year now, I really love the formula . it makes my brows stay in place all day without it looking and feeling hard. the price is really good also

My holy grail eyebrow gel! Makes eyebrows stay in place for many hours - almost like superglue for your eyebrows! I also find it helps to make the brows looks a bit more natural if you have filled them in with a pencil or eyeshadow - it picks up the natural hairs. Only problem I find is that the wand picks up too much product so I have to wipe some off on the back of my hand but as for the price, it is definitely worth it.

This brow gel is one of my holy grail products. It keeps my eyebrows in place all day, without affecting my brow powder or pencil at all. Even without filling in my brows first, it makes them look so much more defined that I sometimes don't need to fill my brows in (HUGE timesaver!)

I love this gel, keeps my brows in place the whole day.It doesnt crisp my brows or affect my brow powders....Although it doesnt do a good job on the lashes,it works well on brows.Its affordable and a must-have

I have been using this product since it was first available in South Africa. I have never even bothered to try any other brands because this one is just so affordable and effective. It really keeps my brows in place without discomfort and is very well priced. It can even be used on lashes but I only ever use it on my brows to keep stray hairs at bay and the shape stays neat all day. I love this product a lot. I usually get mine at Clicks and they always have stock.

I found this clear mascara really great for keeping my brows in place. I do think a little too much of the formula comes onto the brush but overall great value for money.

I bought this product a while back, and it serves it purpose. I've used before I apply mascara to give my fine lashes a bit of a boost and curl, I've used it alone for those days when I don't feel like wearing make up, (just so it looks like I have lashes lol) and I sometimes use it over my mascara once its dry to separate my lashes and neaten them out. I have used the gel on my eye brows but I prefer using it on my lashes. Because the gel is clear you can really get to the very fine hairs and as close to the lash line as possible without worrying about smudging black mascara over your eyes. Don't you just hate that!!

This product was in the range of good but not the best. I felt like after spending some time on my make up, it wears down a bit throughout the day which doesn't make sense since I rarely touch my face. So to the back of my make up drawer it goes, where it has not been touched after a while.

So if you're going to go out for a short while, I would suggest this product but other than that, I would highly recommend their (essence's) new tinted brow gels.

I remember purchasing it for R20+ from Dischem, and if you could put a little more money, you could get a better product.

I love this product and use it as often as possible.it is great in that it doubles for lashes and brows giving you a fresh appearance without looking made up.because its colourless your own natural lashes are enhanced.making it perfect for poolside gym and a day at the beach

This product did not do much for me.

I didn't notice any difference while using it besides my eyebrows feeling wet.
For some people this product is amazing, for me it just did not work.

i would still recommend it to people for its rave reviews and if it does not work, at least it didn't break the bank.

Felt a bit strange brushing gel onto my brows but oh my what a difference it makes! :)
Keeps my eyebrows in their original shape ALL day!:)
Love essence products and would definitely reccomend this to anyone looking to tame their brows ;) X

I must say when I saw this product it wasn't love at first side. Well, trying it was the best thing I could have done for my eyebrow and lashes. I normally experience some irritating moment with my eye lashes because they will be all over the place and getting into my eyes. This product is just amazing and helpful and put my tinny lashes intact.
I haven't tried it on my brows and will definitely do that tomorrow!

Fantastic and affordable. I am in love with it!

I love this stuff!! I recently started using it and it felt a bit weird brushing this gel on my eyebrows as I was scared it would dry funny, but it was perfect! my brows looked awesome all day long !

I think this is very well priced. Perhaps my brows are just too unruly, but I find that they do not gel my stray hairs down at all. They are however good for the corner hair above your ears. I love to just gel those hairs with the Essence brush and gel and they seem to stay put.

I use this on my brows only. I use it to "set" my filled-in brows. It keeps them locked in place, without making them hard. It's cost effective and last long. I like the packaging,the packing caught my eye before I even knew what was inside. Only after reading the label did I think to myself "I might need this". Definite earned a repurchase in by book!

Great when filling in eyebrows to set it in place and look more real, It hold up relatively well and it is very cheap

I use this product as my last step when it comes to doing my eyebrows. After filling them in, I apply one coat of brow gel and voila! I have that perfectly groomed brow look, that lasts!

For R39 -95 you cannot go wrong with this Brow Gel! I love using it to set my brows once I have filled them in and I also use it to separate my Lashes before applying my mascara. A Total winner!

I really love this product. I am on my third one!

It's super affordable, at R39.95 - available at Clicks and Dischem.

I set my eyebrows with Smashbox Browtech powder, but I'm not a huge fan of the wax. I don't feel they look natural and feel greasy.

I use this as last step, to even out the powder and to set the hairs in a more natural look.

I don't and never will use for my lashes, I didn't purchase for my eyelashes - purely for eyebrow purposes.

I have not tried the MAC formula, but at this price and quality - I don't feel the need to.

Holy Grail status for me.

I love this product so much it sets brow powder to last all day! The only down side is it gets a little grungy after a while but I have seen that even the MAC brow clear gel also gets grungy.

This is definitely worth the money!

After filling in my brows, I swipe this product through them. It effectively sets them for the day while neatening up. Great value for money. (The only downside - the clear tube. The brush picks up a bit of colour each time, which makes your clear gel change colour slowly - the clear tube means you see your product going yucky. Still, for R30, I can live with chucking it out and buying a new one when it gets too bad!)

So I bought this product a few months ago, possibly out of curiosity, and because I'm a big Essence fan... Unfortunately it does little to nothing for my lashes. My lashes are really short, this mascara doesn't really make a difference in their appearance. I tried using my eyelash curler with them two days ago, and then I could see a slight difference, but only after apply 3-4 coats of the stuff. I haven't tried it on my brows yet, but I'm assuming it would work better there. Give this a miss unless you have really long lashes that don't need definition or added length. Otherwise stick to the regular black mascara.

Essence Lash and Brow Gel definitely competes with the best brow gels on sale at an affordable price! It instantly sets my brows without them appearing "wet & crunchy", which I hate! Don't waste your money on over priced eyebrow gel, they all tend to get a bit gunky after a while anyway! Replacing a R30 brow gel makes me feel a whole lot better than replacing a R100 brow gel. Highly recommend!

Keeps my brows smooth and in place without making them hard or leaving a residue.

Holds my eyelash curl well enough when used on days when I know a possibility exists of my face melting off. Primarily an eyebrow product though.

Having indian genes means that you are going to have bushy and thick brows. I have never had to fill in my brows ever.

Someone recommended this gel to me after I complained about my brows going in different directions. The gel kept my brows in place all day! Sometimes I would use a little eyeshadow to give me a bolder brow and this gel just helped me give my brows a more natural look.

I also like using it on my lashes when I know I am going to be too lazy to take my mascara off. It lengthens lashes but leaves it with an incredibly natural look.

One thing I hate is that after a while, your tube looks quite disgusting (since its a clear tube) due to the powder used on your brows. brows.

Since my eyebrows are not unruly and my lashes are naturally long, I find this an extremely useful product. I mainly use it for lashes as it surprisingly adds volume and it makes my brows more prominent and shapely. Great idea especially as it cannot make you look like a raccoon when it runs.

I always wanted to try clear mascara. When I saw one by essence, it was bound to end up in my shopping basket. It a perfect tool to tame unruly eyebrows, and works perfectly for eye lashes for those no-mascara days. I also tried it under mascara and it adds up quite a volume to my eyelashes. Now I have 2 tubes of it so that I don't transfer mascara pigments on to my eye brows.

If you looking for a budget lash and brow mascara, I would highly recommend Essence clear lash and brow mascara. It tames your unruly brows and adds a bit of volume to your eye lashes. I first apply this clear mascara on my eye lashes and then my regular mascara. It also helps to extend the use of your mascara when you feel it is a bit dry. But if you are using this clear mascara for both eyebrows and eye lashes it is always good to have separate tubes as you don't want to transfer bits of your mascara on to your eye lashes.

How can you not love it? It tames brows and gives lashes definition without weighing them down. This is perfect for someone who doesn't like having a mascara look because its invisible but makes lashes look amazing.

This was one of the first lash and brow gel which I've used. It was perfect to tame brows and make lashes look neat and tidy without the heavy feel of mascara.

I apply clear mascara before I apply normal mascara because it helps hold the curl in my lashes. My hair is naturally straight, so I need some extra help on the lash curling department and this product is perfect for that. I use to use the Palladio Clear Brow Gel but wanted to try this one out because it was R20 cheaper, and I love it! Like the Palladio one, it is nice and gentle and doesn't leave you lashes feeling hard or crispy at all (lol). It is perfect for girls with straight lashes, because when you apply this then curl your lashes with a lash curler, your lashes stay curled all day. You can then after apply your usual mascara on top for beautifl lucious lashes. I love that this product is gentle on lashes because I really can't afford to have them fall off or break off.

I have been looking for this for a while. I have read rave reviews about it. Clicks finally restocked and I bought one. I usually use an old, clean mascara wand to brush my eyebrows. I have very thin eyebrows (naturally), so they don't need much taming. :) I love Essence products as well as their price tags. I like this product as well. It does brush your eyebrows into place and it does keep them there for the most part. It just doesn't do anything amazing, but I guess it doesn't really claim to.

I noticed some white gooey bits in this clear mascara and when you wash your makeup off it comes off as white gooey liquid. I don't touch my eyebrows so I didn't notice if they were sticky or flaky during the day. But I find I don't need to brush them more than once. I have a feeling this will last forever as you don't use much. I haven't tried using this on my lashes as I don't see any reason for this.

My eyebrows tend to do their own thing - they're not thick, but they don't like to stay in place. This product is absolutely amazing - the brush is a normal mascara brush, and the product does not make eyebrows shiny and hard like other products i have tested. It is extremely affordable (less than R30 if my memory serves) and lasts forever.
