I’m A Beauty Editor – These Are By Far The Best Eyebrow Gels That I’ve Tried

Junior Beauty Editor Rachael says: 'It's no secret that when it comes to eyebrow products (and I'm talking everything from pencils through to pomades here) Benefit are among best of the best. Beloved by beauty editors, the 24-Hour Brow Setter Clear Brow Gel is totally invisible but sets brows in place with just a few strokes. I like to use a brow pencil first to fill out sparse areas, then I'll follow with this to lock it all in. It's subtle, but leaves my brows looking neater and more groomed. Trust me when I say it's fool-proof.'

Customer review: 'It's brilliant. 'Been using this for a while now and it’s definitely the best brow glue I’ve used! Sets the brows really well and they don’t move. Doesn’t leave a product build up which I find with other brands.'

Sameeha Shaikh Beauty Writer: 'I'd describe this as the Marmite of the brow world, those who love it swear by it and those who don't, well, probably don't know how to use it properly. Granted it's not the easiest of brow products, the formula is thicker, waxier and fast-working, meaning less playtime. But all those aforementioned qualities are what sets it apart in the category, that is, once you get the hang of it. A cross between wax and gel, it creates a full, defined look that lasts all day. If a laminated brow is your MO, look no further.' 

Customer review: 'I love this brow gel! Keeps your brows in place all day. It definitely takes time to get used to it, not using too much and working it through your brows to get them where you want but once there in shape they stay all day!'

While Charlotte Tilbury is synonymous with her iconic lipsticks, her brow products deserve their moment in the spotlight too. Beloved by everyone from Bella Hadid to Kate Moss, this gloss-like gel ensures firm but flexible hold - it's ideal for those who like a more subtle finish

Customer review: 'This is my favourite brow gel I've used! I don't like a stiff hold, and prefer a more natural finish. This gives just that, it helps me shape and hold my brows naturally, without white residue or a laminated look.'

VB once again proves her prowess in the make-up arena with her new FeatherFix Brow Gel. The dinky brush allows for a groomed, lifted look while the long-wear formula stays put all day. We predict a sell-out.

Customer review: 'All day hold indeed! Its does feel crunch when you touch it on your finger but it doesn’t feel it on the brow during the day. The brush is an adjustment as very different than the ones on the market. No flakes—That’s really great! It’s for that reason this product is amazing. The packaging is luxe.'

Junior Beauty Editor Rachael says: 'The Brow Glue Instant Styler by NYX Professional Makeup is an excellent option for those looking for a cheap brow gel. Not only is the staying power immense (I wore this on one of the hottest days of the year thus far) but the finish really mimics the effect of a brow lamination - think smoother, sleeker and straighter brows with just a sweep. My only gripe? Use too much and you'll have to contend with a waxy finish. Less is more - consider this your warning for the best results.

Customer review: 'Love this brow glue, was using it in the clear now started using the shaded one. Stays in place all day and great for no make up days to make those brows look fuller!'

For fuller more fluffy brows consider this the ticket. This fibre-enriched tinted brow gel effortlessly grooms, colours and defines - without the slightest hint of the mess that you might usually associate with fibre gel products. Just a slick adds serious oomph to hairs, while still managing to look natural. Bonus points as the formula is made with panthenol to condition in the long run - that means you can expect healthier brows with consistent use.

Customer review: I tried the shade 02 which is suited to blondes and redheads. Honestly, I'm very impressed! I've got light hair - ginger which goes lighter in the summer. This is the EXACT shade of my brows, I have never found this before! When I bought it I didn't believe it could possibly be this good a match but it really is.'

Junior Beauty Editor Rachael says: 'In terms of formulations, few impress quite like the bareMinerals Strength and Length Brow Gel Sculpt. Made with conditioning panthenol and nourishing squalane,the vegan formula calms unruly hairs, tinting and defining with just a single brush thorough. I'm absolutely guilty of over-plucking, and did see some hair growth in sparse areas after I'd used this for around six-weeks.'

Customer review: 'I use this alongside the bareminerals mineral mist brow pencil in the same shade. Helps to neaten up my brows and also notice there is some growth where I've over plucked in the past.'

Junior Beauty Editor Rachael says: 'Waterproof and strong-hold, this is the setting gel I'll take on holiday if I want my brows to sit perfectly poolside. It's totally clear so keeps hairs sitting pretty without looking 'done.'

Customer review: 'Really impressed, keeps brows fixed in place even during a sweaty work out. The only downside is if you use too much brows can go really crispy. Washes out well with a cleaning balm or oil.'

'I was skeptical this would be able to hold my thick dark brows in place as many others have struggled. But I was pleasantly surprised, very lightweight formula and no crispy feeling.  10/10'

UKLash have amassed something of a cult following in recent years - and products such as this would indicate the reason why. Comb through brows for a fuller, more defined shape that doesn't budge throughout the day.

Customer review: 'This is my new HG for taming unruly brows. This, dare I say, works even better than brow freeze. I'm talking ALL DAY hold. I have brows that are stubborn and unruly af, and they still look perfect at the end of the day (I am also a big sweater, but that was no problem with this). Seriously, everyone needs this in their life. I still use my ABH brow applicator to really press my brows in place, that would be a great product to add to the family.'

This brow gel is an excellent option for those who like undetectable hold. Simply sweep the wand through brows and let it set.

Customer review: 'This is honestly a very good eyebrow gel especially for it being clear. It has a great finish that looks natural, it does not flake, and does not make my eyebrows look frosty. It does not have as strong of a hold as some of my other gels but I do have wild eyebrows.'

An icon if there ever was one, the Anastasia Dip Brow has graced more than just a few beauty bags in its time. The best part? If strong, dramatic brows are your MO then you best believe this is still worth its salt. This mini version is perfect for on the go.

Customer review: 'This product allows me to have eyebrows be seen! I have naturally blonde eyebrows that are more opaque than anything. Adding this to my eyebrows is easy, quick and long lasting! I have eyebrows all day that helps me look complete!'

Created to 'suit all brow shades and skin tones,' expect an easily buildable gel that grooms with ease. The water-based formula ensures a comfortable texture, too. If it's good enough for Selena...

Customer review: 'This is the only brow gel I’ve found that will keep my brows in place all day, without adding a white cast. I’ve started ordering multiple at a time because I don’t want to ever run out.'

Acting Beauty Director Verity Clark: 'Benefit having been giving me good - well, better - brows since I was a teenager. I was a fan of the OG formula but the upgraded version is even better. The teeny tiny spoolie brushes up hairs without depositing product onto unwanted areas. Gel wise it’s more of a pomade but it fills in my sparse brows and plumps up the hairs for a fuller brow that still looks natural.'

Customer review: 'I have been using this particular benefit product for a long time now and along with other benefit brow products it does not disappoint! it's amazing! It covers your brows so well and gives them a great shape. Also great if you have your brows tinted as when tint starts fading this keeps your brows looking fresh in between salon visits.'
