Eyebrow Gels

A good eyebrow gel does more than simply hold your eyebrows in place, in the graceful arch or curve you've shaped. You need to take care with the ingredients in these gels, because some can dry the hair follicles and leave your eyebrows brittle. Also, while clear gels are common, many add a bit of a tint or color, evening out the natural shade of your eyebrows or enhancing them with a softer or bolder look.

For example, Laura Mercier's Brow Definer uses an innovative wax gel formula to lightly hold hairs in place, while wrapping each hair with gentle color. Anastasia uses botanical hair conditioners and essential oils to keep unruly brows in place all day without flaking, and is available with or without color enhancement.

We appreciate the extra touches used in Christian Dior's DiorShow Brow Fixing Gel, which offers a bit of a special effect, giving a subtle shimmer in addition to excellent eyebrow control. The applicator brush, one-sided like a hairbrush, features two different fiber lengths for better brow definition.

You can go a step further with Talika Lipocils Eyebrow Conditioning Gel, which is the only product on the market which can accurately prove eyebrow growth, using a variety of plant extracts including apple, horse chestnut and witch hazel to moisturize and offer gentle yet effective hold. Or, you can get a complete kit dedicated to your brows from Mally Beauty, which includes a double-ended pencil, a double brush to define or separate brows and lashes, and a clear brow gel with hints of highlights and both chamomile and aloe to soothe and hydrate your eyebrows.
