How to use eyebrow gel?

The latest essential in the eyebrow makeup routine, the eyebrow gel is a versatile product that brings numerous benefits to the eyebrows. Presented as a clear or tinted gel, often contained in a small tube with a brush-shaped applicator, it is appreciated for its versatility and its ability to structure and instantly beautify the appearance of the eyebrows, giving them definition and volume without weighing them down. Particularly useful for taming unruly eyebrows, the eyebrow gel also allows to enhance their natural color or intensify it when tinted. Some products also incorporate nourishing and strengthening ingredients to take care of the eyebrows while offering them an aesthetic finish.

In order to reap the various benefits of eyebrow gel, it is crucial to use it correctly.

The application of an eyebrow gel is typically one of the final steps in a skincare routine. If you have used a moisturizer, foundation, or any other product that may slip between your eyebrow hairs, we recommend waiting until they have fully absorbed into the skin and dried before moving on to the eyebrow gel. For those using a powder, also ensure that it does not overly cover the eyebrow hairs, to prevent the gel from becoming pasty upon contact.

Another tip: before applying the eyebrow gel, don't hesitate to use a clean spoolie brush to comb your eyebrows into their natural shape or the shape you wish to give them. This preliminary step allows for proper alignment of the hairs and begins to structure them. This then facilitates the application of the eyebrow gel, as described below:

1. Take a small amount of eyebrow gel : Start by gently removing the applicator from the tube, wiping off any excess product against the rim. It's best to avoid applying too much gel at once, as this could result in an unflattering plastered effect.

2. Start at the base of the eyebrow : Apply the eyebrow gel starting at the base of your eyebrows, at the bridge of your nose. Use light, upward strokes, moving from the inside out, following the natural direction of the hair. This technique helps to structure the eyebrows and achieve a lifted effect.

3. Spread the eyebrow gel across the entire length : Continue to brush the gel across the entirety of your eyebrow line. Try to apply the product as evenly as possible, especially if you are using a tinted eyebrow gel, in order to achieve a consistent result.

4. Sculpt and Adjust : If some hairs stick out or if you feel like you've applied too much product, you can use a clean brush or spoolie to blend the excess and reposition the hairs. This can help you achieve a natural and even result, without a stiff effect.

5. Let it dry : Finally, allow the gel to dry for a few minutes without touching your eyebrows. This prevents the hairs or the product from being inadvertently moved and ensures long-lasting hold. Once dry, the gel keeps your eyebrows in place all day.

At the end of the day, it is important to remove the eyebrow gel using a makeup remover, in order to free the eyebrows from the various pigments and fixing agents present in the gel. This also allows your eyebrows to be properly hydrated by the sebum secreted by the sebaceous glands during the night, which is essential to prevent their drying out, weakening, and falling out. Proceed with gentle movements during makeup removal, as vigorous rubbing can potentially weaken your eyebrows. We also advise you to follow the direction of hair growth when removing the gel, in order to respect the structure of your eyebrows.
