The Best Brow Gels We've Ever Tried

If you didn't know, now you know.
The Best Brow Gels We've Ever Tried
By Jennifer Ford · Updated October 23, 2020

In addition to lip liner, brow gel is also on the list of beauty products you never knew you needed until you’ve tried them. But for us, it’s an everyday staple. The mainstay brow tool ensures our brow hair stays in place and helps out in the volume department too. In short they’re a must-have. If you’ve been missing out on the single item that will take your brows from basic to bomb, then shop the formulas we swear by in the gallery below.

01
Sigma Tint + Tame Brow Gel
Your brows won’t budge when wearing this waterproof brow gel. With the innovative applicator, you can effortlessly comb through your brows while depositing an indestructible gel formula that keeps brow hairs in place. What you’ll love most is the fact that the gel doesn’t leave brows looking harsh or stark, only soft and natural.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Gel
You’ll love this product from Anastasia Beverly Hills, the mother of all things brows, for three reasons. First, it’s tinted, which creates the allusion of fuller brows. Seriously, a few coats are all you need to give Janelle Monae a run for her money. Not to mention, the brow gel is also waterproof, which keeps brows steady throughout the day–workouts included. Lastly, the formula imparts a natural feather-like finish that we’re obsessed with.

ICYDK this brow gel will give you gorgeous, bushy, modelesque boy brows. You’ve seen the coveted brow trend on the runways, and now you can get fashion brows at home, in the office, or wherever you chose.

MAC Prolongwear Waterproof Brow Set
Some brow gels leave brow hair looking crunchy and hard, this isn’t one of those brow gels. When you think of the formula’s finish, think sleek and soft. In other words, expect the eyebrows of your dreams. Unlike other tinted brow gels, you can apply this formula without spill-over and clumping. Its tree-like applicator is perfect for precise application.

Eyeco London Brow Gel
This brow tool gets a 5-star rating. It wouldn’t be fair to rank a product that defines brows this good any other way. Not to mention, it’s formulated with thickening ingredients like keratin and ginkgo berry.
