7 Best Eyebrow Gels

If you’re the type who likes the look of brushed-up, feathery brows, this is the brow gel for you. This product is excellent for shaping the eyebrows and keeping them in place all day — perfect if you’re tired of dealing with brow hairs that have a mind of their own.

We also adore how natural this product looks on our eyebrows. In spite of its super sturdy hold, it doesn’t make brow strands look stiff, wet, or overly shiny.

The ABH Brow Gel has clear and tinted variants, with the available colors being Blonde, Auburn, Brunette, Caramel, Chocolate, Espresso, and Granite. We like the versatility of this lineup and the inclusion of different shades, although we must admit that the clear variant is our absolute favorite.

At $22 apiece, we know this eyebrow gel may not be for everyone. But as we’ve said before: if you have some spare cash to fund your #browgoals, you can’t go wrong with this eyebrow gel.

NYX’s formula leans toward the dry side, which is actually a plus since a wet formula can make tinting eyebrow hairs rather challenging. We love how lightweight and subtle its effect is, so if you want to make it seem like you were simply born with eyebrows that perfectly complement your hair color, we suggest you pick this up ASAP.

It doesn’t do much in the way of volumizing or “fluffing” eyebrow hairs, which can either be a good thing or a bad thing depending on the look you’re going for. It does hold your arches in place for most of the day, though — another pro that we really appreciate.

NYX Tinted Brow Mascara has five different shade options: Blonde, Brunette, Chocolate, Espresso, and Black. It’s a decent shade range that includes various depths and tones, so this brow gel should be able to accommodate most people.

Although its MSRP lies around the $7 mark, this tinted brow mascara from NYX is frequently on sale on retailers like Amazon. That said, it’s a promising tinted brow gel that comes at an impressive price.

This eyebrow gel has a sticky and tacky texture that new users might find intimidating to use. Once you get the hang of it, however, it should be all smooth-sailing (trust us!). You might also want to ditch the attached applicator for a thin angled brush if you have one at home.

This eyebrow gel does a decent job holding eyebrow hairs in place. Talking about the longevity of the tint on your skin is an entirely different matter, though, as it literally stays on for days! That said, this eyebrow gel is definitely for those who like to achieve fuller-looking eyebrows through the filled-in, pomade-like look. It doesn’t make your hair strands look thicker, so take note.

Available in 10 shades (Light Blonde, Blonde, Soft Brown, Medium Brown, Warm Brown, Chocolate Brown, Deep Brown, Auburn, Black Brown, Black), you’ll probably find something that will match you perfectly (or near perfectly, at least) if you decide to try this product. Definite win!

The Maybelline TattooStudio Waterproof Eyebrow Gel has an MSRP of $12.99, but you’ll probably be able to buy it for cheaper from Amazon. Its awesome staying power and value-for-money make it the best waterproof eyebrow gel in our books.

This tinted eyebrow gel has one of the most interesting formulas we’ve encountered. It’s packed with heart-shaped fibers that give it a somewhat thick and dry (but still easy to manage) texture.

The real star of the show, however, is the hemp-derived cannabis seed oil that conditions, nourishes, and sets your eyebrows without the dreaded stiff and crunchy feeling. We love that it holds our eyebrow hairs in place for the entire day, too. Overall, if you’re looking for a fiber-infused brow gel that offers great hold, this eyebrow gel is your best bet.

This eyebrow gel is available in 8 shades: Haze (for warm blondes), MJ (for cool blondes), Dub (for auburn hair), Herb (for neutral medium brown hair), Dutch (a medium-dark brown color), Grind (deep brown), Diesel (for warm very dark brown or black hair), and Cypher (for cool very dark brown or black hair).

Clearly, MILK Makeup did a good job of being as inclusive as possible – something that we can all appreciate.

The KUSH Fiber Brow will set you back $20 – quite pricey for a brow setter, but nonetheless worth the investment.

This eyebrow gel is a great pick if your eyebrows require some gentle direction. It has a wet formula that takes a couple of minutes to dry down. But once it has set, it feels lightweight and comfortable — almost like you have nothing on your eyebrows.

It performs best when used on bare brows, so it’s a great tool for no-makeup days when all you’re looking for is a bit of polishing and definition. It does a great job of shaping eyebrow hairs and giving your arches a cleaner look, but note that it isn’t the best for taming super thick and unruly hair strands.

This eyebrow gel comes in both clear and tinted versions, with the available shades being dark brown, medium brown, and blonde. We think this is a pretty decent shade range, plus the clear variant is always a safe choice if none of the tinted options seem right for your hair color.

You can score a tube of this eyebrow gel for around $4, which makes it a great pocket-friendly choice.

If you’re looking for something that will help you shape and control stray hairs, this brow gel is definitely worth a look. It will hold your eyebrows in place with its fade-proof and waterproof formula. We love that it doesn’t leave a wet look, although note that you’ll definitely feel it “sitting” on your eyebrows for at least the first couple of hours.

If there’s one thing we don’t love 100% about this product, it’s probably the density of the applicator. It doesn’t have a lot of bristles, but it somehow ends up picking up a lot of product. Wiping the excess gel off the brush easily solves this issue, though.

Covergirl’s Easy Breezy Brow Gel comes in four variants: clear, light, medium, and deep. If you can get away with neutral-toned eyebrows, you’ll probably be able to use one of the tinted versions. Otherwise, we suggest you go with the clear variant.

This drugstore brow gel costs anywhere between $5 to $10 depending on where you buy it. So if you’re looking for a drugstore brow setter that offers impressive hold, know that this Covergirl product is the best budget eyebrow gel we can recommend.
