Learn about how to accentuate your brows with Maybelline Brow Drama, $8, and how it compares to other, more expensive options like SmartFX SmartBrow, $61. Brows are the it feature everyone's obsessed with right now, and when made up correctly, they can accentuate your eyes and add drama to your look. Read on to see how these two products measure up.

All About Maybelline Brow Drama
Maybelline Brow Drama is the brand's first brow mascara. It promises to sculpt, tint and define brows in just two steps. First, brush the mascara from the inner to outer corner of the brow, then sculpt by going back over the color you've laid down a second time. Brow Drama comes in four natural shades to complement most skin tones as well as a clear tint for a more neutral look. The Brow Drama line also includes a Pomade Crayon that can be used in place of the brow mascara to create subtle definition.

Maybelline suggests using either the Pomade Crayon or the Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara depending on the brow look you're after. If you want bold, Cara Delevingne-esque brows, the Brow Drama mascara could be right for you. If, on the other hand, you just want to fill in a couple of sparse patches to complete your look, the Pomade Crayon might be a better option.

What the Reviews Say
Brow Drama reviewers have claimed that "it never looks like a lot of product" is on their brows and the product is "definitely a repurchase." However, many other women like the concept but not the way the product is designed, especially the sculpting ball brush on the tip of the wand. Users have said that this design "makes everything a mess" when trying to apply the product and "can cause clumps." Those who have tried the Pomade Crayon like that it delivers a surprising amount of product for the size but dislike that the crayon is too chunky to pack in a makeup case.

How Maybelline Brow Drama Compares to SmartBrow
SmartBrow uses a blend of polymers and fibers to create the illusion of fuller, thicker brows. It comes in three shades to work with most skin tones and features a dual-ended applicator. One end has a mascara brush, and the other end is a skinny brush similar to one you might use to apply eyeliner.

According to some reviewers, SmartBrow has been shown to stay on even through strenuous workouts. However, it can only be taken off using the included cleanser. This on top of SmartBrow's price may put some women off. Users also feel that the product is now more difficult to apply due to the recent change in the shape of the applicator.

For women who are looking for a quick way to address brow woes, the Brow Drama brow mascara may be the answer to their beauty prayers. It's a quick and inexpensive solution to natural-looking brows without the fuss.
