Trace over your natural brows or in your preferred brow shape, and let the gel sit from 20 minutes (for a single day’s wear), to two hours (for brows that can last up to three days). Simply peel it off after that, and say goodbye to fussing over those arches.

It is available in three shades: grey brown, dark brown and light brown.

Maybelline Fashion Brow Tattoo Gel Tint retails for SGD 19.90 at all Maybelline counters in leading drugstores.
