I personally like something with a stronger hold for going

and I've never found them to provide enough hold for my eyebrows

I was pleased that when I used it not only did it have a good hold on my eyebrows but there was not residue and they didn't feel stiff either.

Incredible hold, not stiff or flaky

It’s almost like a hairspray strong hold for the brows

Not very strong hold

but I notice the hold isn’t all day reliable

Great hold but a little hard to take

The same ones that I have used before were really good and give a strong hold without making your brows look weird.

The packiging needs improvement and the gel could be a stronger hold but overall it's worth the $6

I thought with the name control freak I'd get superior hold

the hold is amazingI just love all NYX products

Additionally, it keeps a strong hold to keep those feathered brows in place!

The hold is not great

The hold isn’t all that great

Not bad for the price but not the best hold

Despite the "control freak" name, the hold of this gel isn't very strong and requires another application after a while

Incredible hold, not stiff or flaky

I was hoping to use it for my eyelashes but it doesn’t have good hold for your lashes ,so just stick with your eyebrows

Good hold throughout the day.

It had a good hold for a good amount of time

Doesn't have a strong hold

Not great if you're looking for something with strong hold

It does give a nice flexible hold but it flakes within 3 hours of use and you can see little clear flakes in your brows, not cute.

I have thick curly brows and was looking for a product with strong hold

Hold isn't as strong as i'd like

It's just not as strong holding as I thought it would be

At first, it has a good hold and the brush is good quality

Great hold without looking flakey.

I agree with other reviews - it's NOT a strong hold gel
