Eyebrows really frame the face, and the only way to keep them looking neat and in control are with the best eyebrow gels in Malaysia. They’re great for keeping your brows in place all night through the sweat and humidity, or even if you’re just going for a no-makeup makeup look. Choose between a tinted brow gel or a clear one; we’ve got a whole list for you to choose from.

How To Use Eyebrow Gel

Makeup has no rules, and you can absolutely take your time on deciding if you prefer to use eyebrow gel before eyebrow pencil, or after. However, here are some tips to make the most out of your eyebrow gel.

  1. Use a clean and dry spoolie first: A spoolie is basically like a dry mascara wand, also known as a brow brush; use it to brush the eyebrow hairs upward first before going in with your eyebrow gel.
  2. Start from the tail end: If you are using a tinted brow gel, apply it on the tail end of your eyebrow first, just so that you’ll get less product by the time you apply it to the front part of your eyebrow for the most natural look.
  3. Let it dry: If you are using an eyebrow pencil after an eyebrow gel, make sure to let the brow gel dry completely before going in with the brow pencil, just to make sure that the gel doesn’t go everywhere.
  4. Clean up the edges: After you’ve gone in with both the eyebrow gel and pencil, go around the edges with a cotton bud, so that it doesn’t pill with the rest of your makeup.

Now that you know how to use eyebrow gel, let’s go shopping for the best eyebrow gels in Malaysia!
