Whether you’re a fan of full, fluffy brows or a sleek, laminated look (or thin, Y2K-inspired arches), Clear Eyebrow Gel for Perfect Brows is an essential product to keep your arches in check and locked up. A good eyebrow hold gel can also be used to instantly tint and shape your brows, as well as to tame any errant hairs. Ahead, we rounded up the best options to help you sculpt, shape and define your brows with ease, no matter what type of brow look you’re going for.
A clear gel that doesn’t flake or dry down to a crunchy finish, this crowd-pleaser blew all of our testers away. Alyssa Kaplan, a Byrdie commerce writer with thick brows, said she was impressed by how easily the formula molded and shaped her brows. It also tamed errant hairs and didn’t leave her brows looking stiff or unnatural. She was able to work the gel in with her hands and brush it out with a clean spoolie, all without any residue or flaking.
Mastering the Natural Brow Look with Eyebrow Gel
With a light but buildable formula, this brow gel contains conditioning ingredients like marula oil to nourish your eyebrows while providing a natural-looking finish that won’t fade throughout the day. It’s available in four different shades, from blonde to dark brown. Unlike most clear eyebrow gels, this one isn’t sticky or clumpy and can be used with all of our favorite brow products, including pencils, powders, pomades, and more. Plus, it’s vegan and free of gluten, parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, DEA, PABA, TEA, and drying alcohol.
