What is Brow Gel?

Brow gel is basically like a mini mascara for your brows! Holding them in shape wherever you brush them! It comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and sometimes colours to suit your brows. Its precise brush and applicator support foolproof, and mess-free use.


What does Brow Gel Do?

Brow gel is the perfect makeup tool to comb, shape, and lock your eyebrows in place. Not only does it help secure your look and tame unruly hairs, but tinted brow gels can also help to add colour and sometimes through microfibres it thickens sparse patches in your brows. It’s the easiest way to achieve effortless brow shape and definition with minimal effort. .


How to use Brow Gel?

Brow gel can be used on both natural and filled in brows. First, make sure you have groomed and tidied up your brows.

- For fuller, more defined brows: Begin with your favourite brow pencil, pomade or brow kit to give your brows ultimate definition and fullness. Follow with a clear or tinted brow gel. Brush the product through your brow, ensuring the application is uniform from start to tail.

- For natural, fluffy brows: Use the brow gel to groom your brow hair upwards and outwards, working from root to tip to create a natural look.


Expert Tip: For even fluffier brows – comb through the product and leave for 10 seconds for the product to partially dry and go tacky then using the spoolie brush them into your desired shape.

Clear vs. Tinted Brow Gel- Which is Better?

Depending on the day and how I want my brows to look, I’m a fan of both clear and tinted brow gels- it’s all down to personal preference!

If you’re already blessed in the brow department and looking to lock them in position, then a clear brow gel is best suited to the job. Like a hairspray for your brows, it’ll keep them in place without changing the colour of your brows.

However, if your brows need a helping hand filling in sparse patches or you don’t have time to fill them in, try a tinted brow gel. With just one coat you’ll have instantly thicker, fuller, and more defined brows!


Expert Tip: For even fluffier brows – comb through the product and leave for 10 seconds for the product to partially dry and go tacky then using the spoolie brush them into your desired shape.
