Best eyebrow gels for full and shaped eyebrows

To give your brow look lasting power, call in the big guns — and by that we mean Anastasia Beverly Hills. The founder of the brand gained worldwide fame with the creation of ‘The Golden Ratio’ – a shaping technique to find the eyebrow style that best gives a lifted effect.

The following products – including this gel – make it easier than ever to make these as part of your everyday makeup look. This formula is non-sticky and has a completely clear appearance to last all day and prevent hairs from coming loose.

Whether you go for the bushy, brushed look or want to thicken your sparse brows, Glossier’s Boy Brow is a Holy Grail product. It gives a creamy wax with every flick of the wand, enhancing the natural brows rather than creating a stiffened feel.

This is one of the products that has earned the brand the great reputation it has built over the years, and you’ll soon see why. The formula is enriched with oleic acid, lecithin and soluble collagen that has a moisturizing effect while subtly coloring. Five shades are available.

If you need even more convincing that this deserves its place in your makeup bag, take note of one reviewer who explains that it “literally stayed with getting hit by a car”.

Rein in strays with Benefit – another brand that specializes in all things eyebrow. By holding the hair above your eyes firmly in place, it simultaneously conditions your brows to behave no matter what your plans are. The ’24 hours’ in the product name refers to its impressive staying power, while the custom wand is double-sided to simultaneously mold and tame and ensure no hair is left behind.

This is one of the best eyebrow gels on the market and comes from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s Rose Inc label, where each product is carefully considered before hitting the market. The brush and formula work together to help you create soft, feathered brows with ease for that not-so-perfect look that has been a major brow trend for the past few years.

While you can use the serum to create a polished look, it can work equally well for smoothing hair with its impressive taming properties. The gel is transparent and packed with conditioning agents such as vitamins E, B5, squalene and more to stimulate growth at the same time.

We could get lyrical on the Urban Decay setting spray as long as we hold your interest, but if you want to use more targeted, staying power to make your brow makeup last longer, flake and smudge-resistant than ever, you can’t go wrong with adding the brow Setter to your routine.

Coat your brows with the lightweight formula and it will hold each individual hair firmly in place for up to 16 hours, while leaving a healthy shine.

Founded by influencer Jess Hunt, Refy has changed the brow game for those looking to transform thin brows to become fuller, thicker and fluffier. The brow offering comes as a bumper pack with everything you need to create a natural look or give your arches a few notches.

The Brow Sculpt is designed for the shaping and fixing element, while the Brow Pomade adds depth and density with a tint (three shades; Light, Medium and Dark are available). The eyebrow pencil is the finishing touch to sketch and create 3D definition. The tools are double ended for precision and the formulas are designed to stand the test of time with blemishes or flakes.

Hourglass created this product as an all-encompassing brow option for those trying to streamline their makeup regime. You have both a fixing gel and microfibres in one of six shades, so you add volume and color while keeping it locked in.

The formula can be built up to give and enhance your creations a natural look, giving the impression of density without looking overly made up. On one side of the brush you have short bristles, while on the other side you are long, so you can adjust the intensity and fullness to the areas that need it.

ICONIC created this product to hark back to Hollywood’s golden age with the revived soap brows trick. This process of using a spoolie and bar of soap to brighten up your brows has been brought into modern times with Brow Silk which offers the same level of hold, just with more nourishing ingredients thrown into the mix, such as argan oil. The wand is small in size for better precision and you don’t get the crunchy feeling that other products usually give.

Enhance the look of your arches with Charlotte Tilbury’s Brow Fix, an effortless formula that delivers natural hold. The formula is enriched with nourishing, strengthening and moisturizing ingredients such as panthenol and watercress extract to nourish the brow strands while providing smudge-proof protection. It is also waterproof, moisture-proof and sweat-resistant for long-term use. The product acts as an invisible finish without leaving any residue for the finishing touch to your makeup look.
