This Top-Rated Eyebrow Gel is Only $4
Everyone knows about eyebrow pencils for filling in arches and eyebrow serums to help with growth, but eyebrow gels are actually one of the top beauty editor and makeup artist go-to eyebrow products, since they're easy to use and almost foolproof.
So what exactly does eyebrow gel do? The gel formulas contain ingredients like polymers and waxes that help tame and shape brow hairs, plus hold them in place. Brow gels come in both tinted and clear versions; those that are tinted can also help fill in gaps in the arches and add definition. Some eyebrow gels are also infused with tiny synthetic fibers, which can help temporarily make brows look fuller and fill sparse areas. As for the best way to use an eyebrow gel, they often come with an included brow brush or applicator, so experts recommend brushing the gel through arches from the inner corners out for the best shape, repeating if necessary.
But first, find the best eyebrow gel for you from these Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab expert-recommended and shopper top-rated picks, including drugstore buys.
