Using brow gel is a simple way to define and hold your eyebrows in place. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Choose the Right Brow Gel: Brow gels come in clear and tinted formulas. Clear gels are great for holding your brows in place without adding color, while tinted gels add color and definition.
-
Prepare Your Brows: Ensure your brows are clean and dry before applying brow gel. If you use brow pencil or powder, apply that first.
-
Application Technique:
- Start Mid-Brow: According to expert advice, begin applying the brow gel from the middle of your brow and brush outwards toward the tail (the end of your brow). This prevents the head of your brow (closest to your nose) from becoming too dark, creating a more natural look.
- Inner Brow Last: When there's only a small amount of product left on the brush, move to your inner brow. This ensures a softer, less intense application in this area, which looks more natural.
- Brush Upwards and Outwards: Use short, upward strokes to lift and define your brows. Follow the natural direction of your hair growth.
- Shape as Desired: Use the brush to shape your brows into your desired form. You can create a more defined arch or a fuller look.
- Avoid Over-Application: Apply in thin layers to avoid clumping or stiffness. If you apply too much, use a clean spoolie brush to remove excess product.
-
Let it Dry: Allow the brow gel to dry completely. This usually takes a minute or two. Avoid touching your brows during this time to prevent smudging or disrupting the shape.
-
Touch-Ups (Optional): Once dry, if you notice any stray hairs, you can use a brow pencil to fill them in or a clean spoolie to further refine the shape.
By following these steps, you can achieve perfectly shaped and defined brows with brow gel.
