Toppik Brow Building Fibres Review | Gifted Product – AD

AD- Gifted Product/ originally posted 2016

 

My eyebrows have been thinning for years. They naturally have gaps in them that I have to fill in as part of my makeup routine. The truth is – I suffer with very pitiful eyebrows.

I’m told my eyebrows are a result of  a borderline thyroid problem which means one’s eyebrows fall out so I’m left with a lot of gaps.

In the past I’ve been accused of over-plucking – which isn’t the case and I often feel a bit embarrassed. In the past when I’ve tried to fill them in, pencils and gels have never been totally adequate.

Toppik very kindly sent me some of their brow-building fibres to try out. I was desperate to have a play with them because I’d heard such great things.

Toppik Brow Building Fibres Review

Toppik brow building fibres claim to create thick, full brows in areas your natural brows are lacking. In fact, the box says “full brows instantly” and I was eager to see if they live up to the hype.

The fibres are designed to build up and shape your eyebrows in a way that makes them look as natural as possible. When it came to colour, I went for light brown because despite my brows looking dark, I believe that is only in comparison to my super blonde locks.

Toppik Brow Building Fibres Review – Before

This is what my eyebrows look like when I haven’t done them, you can see the arch looks like it’s got a bit missing .

Toppik Brow Building Fibres – What’s in the Box

The brow building fibres come in a little box that contains a tub with brow conditioning wax in the top half, and the fibres in the bottom. It also included a brush with two differently shaped ends and some instructions.

Start with the thin, angled end of the brush and use it to lightly apply wax to the brow. This is your chance to set the the shape you want them to take and it preps them for the fibres.

Next use the rounded end to gather the fibres and lightly dust them over when you’ve applied the wax. The fibres will stick to wax and your eyebrows will look naturally thicker, as if real hair is growing there.

After Using the Toppik Brow Building Fibres

This was the result:

I think they’re fantastic but they do need practice. For my first application I was overzealous and tried to apply a second coat, this resulted in some clumping that wasn’t present after the first attempt.

Also, I perhaps should have gone for a slightly darker shade, but I always find it hard to match my natural colour. I usually use a pencil, a pomade and eyeshadow on my brows, so I may need to add some eyeshadow to correct the colour.

I don’t think there is an obvious colour difference, I’m just a perfectionist.

All in all, the brow builder was really easy to use and ensures you get the right amount of each component. In the past I’ve tried all-in-one brow builder pen brushes and the fibres would get used up first and I’d be left with a waxy gel containing no fibres.

Toppik Brow Building Fibres are definitely worth the money and are an easy-to-use system. Compared to other, similar products I’ve tried, I definitely consider them superior. You can get them from Amazon and they’re even available on Prime for next-day eyebrow emergencies. Buy brow fibres from Amazon (affiliate link).
