How do you use clear eyebrow wax?

Published in Eyebrow Grooming 3 mins read

Clear eyebrow wax (or gel) is used to shape, set, and hold your eyebrow hairs in place. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use it:

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Clear Eyebrow Wax

  1. Preparation: Ensure your eyebrows are clean and dry before applying any product. You can use a clean tissue to wipe away any excess oils or makeup.

  2. Application:

    • Using a Spoolie: A spoolie brush (which looks like a mascara wand) is the typical tool for applying eyebrow gel.
    • Loading the Product: Coat the spoolie with the clear eyebrow wax or gel. Don't overload it; a little goes a long way.
    • Brushing Through: Brush the spoolie through your brow hairs.

  3. Styling:

    • Upward and Outward: Brush your brow hairs in upward and outward motions to achieve a fluffy, feathered look, as recommended by experts. This technique helps to lift the brows and create a more defined arch.
    • Direction: Comb the hairs in the direction you want them to stay.
    • Shaping: Use your finger or the edge of the spoolie to further shape and refine your brows, pressing down gently to set the hairs in place.

  4. Setting Time: Allow the gel to dry completely. This usually takes a few minutes, depending on the formula.

  5. Additional Tips:

    • Layering: If you're using other brow products like powder or pencil, apply them before the clear brow wax.
    • Spot Treatment: For unruly areas, apply a bit more gel directly to those spots and use the spoolie to tame them.
    • Clean Up: If you accidentally apply too much gel, use a clean spoolie or cotton swab to remove the excess.

Here's a breakdown in a table format:
