Learn how to apply the gel

Brow gel application isn’t one size fits all, so you will have to find your own methods, but here are a few application tips.

Keep brows clear of foundation and other makeup by wiping them down with a q-tip before applying your brow gel.
Wipe off excess product for a lighter more natural-looking application.
Apply in short upward strokes that follow the path of your natural brow.
Keep the product within the lines of your natural brow shape
Brush through brows with a clean spoolie to fluff and remove any excess product if things aren’t looking natural enough.
