Welcome back to Beautyistic, where we explore the products that help you feel confident and polished every day. Today, we’re taking a close look at KIKO Milano’s Lasting Eyebrow Gel in shade 05 Black. It’s a matte, smudge-resistant gel designed to shape, define, and hold your brows in place with a natural yet polished finish.
When I first got my hands on this gel, I was curious about how it would perform compared to other brow products I’ve tried. The gel comes in a sleek, compact tube with a small applicator brush that makes precise application easy. Its formula is lightweight but pigmented, and the matte finish ensures that your brows look defined without any unwanted shine. Being smudge-resistant, it promises to stay put throughout the day, which is exactly what we all want in a brow product.
Using it was straightforward. The applicator allowed me to coat my brows evenly, following the natural direction of my hairs. The gel separated the brow hairs nicely without clumping, giving them a fuller and more structured look. I tested it through a busy day, and it did hold up well against minor rubbing and humidity, though extremely oily skin or heavy sweating might require a quick touch-up.
One of the things I really appreciated is how versatile it feels. You can go for a soft, natural look with a light hand or layer it for more intensity and a bold brow. However, it can take a few strokes to get that deep black pigmentation, so patience is key for a perfectly even finish.
Pros include its smudge resistance, matte finish, and ability to keep brows looking defined and natural. It’s also easy to apply and buildable. On the downside, the gel can feel slightly stiff if over-applied, and the darkest shade might be too intense for those with lighter hair without careful blending.
In terms of value, KIKO Milano tends to sit in the mid-range price category, and considering the quality, pigmentation, and smudge-proof formula, I’d say it offers solid value for the price. Compared to some higher-end gels I’ve tried, it performs almost as well, with a fraction of the cost, which is a definite plus if you’re on a budget but still want quality.
The build of the packaging is simple yet durable, and the brush applicator is effective for precise shaping. I’ve been using it consistently for a few weeks, and the gel has maintained its performance without drying out, which speaks well for its longevity.
If you’re looking for alternatives, there are cheaper brow gels with similar hold and pigmentation, but KIKO Milano’s formula stands out for its smooth application and smudge-resistant finish, which not all budget options manage to achieve.
Overall, I would recommend the Lasting Eyebrow Gel to anyone who wants a reliable, matte, and long-lasting brow gel that enhances natural brows while keeping them tidy throughout the day. It’s especially good for those who prefer a defined look without the fuss of frequent touch-ups.
