Taming Your Eyebrows With Gel



After you have your brows groomed and perfectly arched, you can achieve a very neat look by using an eyebrow gel to set and keep your brows in place. This is a quick and easy step in your makeup routine that will keep your brows looking perfect all day.

You can find gels in tinted or clear shades. If your brows are a bit sparse in places, then the tinted gel is great for enhancing what you have. The clear gel will simply serve as a tool to keep your brows neatly in place with no added color. You can also use a pencil to fill in any sparse areas before you apply the brow gel, if needed.

Brush your brows into the desired shape that you want to set with the gel.

Dip the applicator into the gel and remove the excess along side of the container; this is similar to taking extra mascara off the wand before you apply it. You only need a small amount of gel to set your eyebrows. If you apply too much, it may flake off later in the day. This will not be a good look!

Start applying the gel to your brow, starting at the inner corner and brushing outward, going with the direction of the eyebrow growth. Repeat this on the other brow.

Run your fingers over the brows to make sure there is no excess product and to give a bit of pressure to set the shape. Be careful not to disrupt the shape you've created.

Now, the brows should be perfectly set and stay that way. Take a final look to see if any stray hairs need to be tweezed. Your brows are set! Wasn't that easy?
