How to choose an eyebrow gel
As told browist Alia Wei, eyebrow gels come in two types – transparent and tinted. The first ones are suitable for those whose eyebrows are already so bright, the second – if you want to not only style them, but also tint them.
– Transparent gels are the most popular and practical. They are suitable for both brunettes and blondes. The main function of such a gel is to fix the hairs in the right direction, nothing more. The package may also say “fixing” or “modeling”. There is no difference, take any. The tint gives a light shade, well suited for a quick make-up, the expert said.
What to look for when choosing:
- Notice the brush. It should be small, thin – otherwise you will stain the space around the eyebrows during makeup. The smaller the brush, the more accurate your makeup will be.
- Eyebrow gel doesn’t have to be expensive, so choose an inexpensive product. Moreover, it is better to replace it after 2-3 months, so that the gel is always fresh. After some time, it changes its structure, dries out, and this affects the makeup.
- Gels can be selected according to the degree of fixation. Some are strong, some are weaker. If you need a gel for daily use, a weaker one will do, but a strong fixing one for the exit.
- Buy eyebrow gels with natural formulations. In addition to fixation and shade, they sometimes provide additional growth and strengthening of the eyebrows. If the composition contains vitamins and oils, it will be perfect.
