Brow Gels

Choosing the right brow gel depends on your preferences and needs. Consider factors like hold, texture, tint, formula, and the type of applicator. Experiment with different brow gels to find the one that suits your brows and gives you the desired look.

Eyebrow gel is better for taming and setting unruly brows, while eyebrow wax is ideal for adding definition and laminated-look. The choice depends on your brow needs: hold and grooming (gel) or definition (wax).

The amount of time you leave eyebrow gel on can vary based on the product and your desired outcome. In most cases, eyebrow gel is designed to be long-wearing and can stay on throughout the day. Once you've applied the gel and achieved your desired brow shape, there is no need to remove it until you are ready to take off your makeup. However, if you notice any smudging or need to make adjustments, you can do so immediately after application or use a clean spoolie brush to blend and perfect the look.

To use brow gel, start with clean, groomed eyebrows. If you prefer, you can fill in your brows with eyebrow pencil, browshadow or marker before using the gel. Using the applicator that comes with the brow gel, brush the product through your brows in the direction of hair growth. Make sure to coat each hair for a more defined look. If you want a more natural finish, use a light hand and gently brush the gel through your brows for a softer hold.

The order in which you use brow gel and eyebrow pencil depends on your personal preference and desired outcome. Some people prefer to use brow gel before eyebrow pencil to set the brows in place and provide a base for the pencil to adhere to. This can help the pencil application appear more even and natural. On the other hand, some prefer to use eyebrow pencil first to define and fill in sparse areas, and then use brow gel to set and groom the brows in place. Experiment with both methods to find what works best for you and gives you the desired brow look.

Clear brow gel is used to set the eyebrows without adding color or definition. It typically comes in a transparent formula that dries clear on the brows. Clear brow gel is ideal for taming unruly eyebrow hairs, holding them in place throughout the day. It provides a natural and polished look, making it suitable for those who prefer a more subtle brow enhancement or for those with already well-defined brows who want to keep them in shape. Clear brow gel can be used on its own or layered over colored brow products to set the brows and ensure a long-lasting hold.

Instead of brow gel, you can use brow wax as an alternative. Brow wax is a waxy substance that provides hold and tames unruly brow hairs. It can be applied with a brow brush or a clean spoolie brush to shape and set your eyebrows. Brow wax is often colorless, so it won't add any tint to your brows, making it suitable for those who prefer a natural look or have already defined brows. It helps keep your brows in place throughout the day, providing a polished and well-groomed appearance.
