Brows have been big—both literally and figuratively—for the last few years. And it isn’t surprising that bold brows on the runways and red carpet sparked an explosion in the eyebrow product category.
While eyebrow gels were originally created to hold wispy brow hairs in place, the new generation does so much more. They’re able to withstand a workout, fill in holes and even regrow over-tweezed brow hair.
The best eyebrow gels have their respective multitasking abilities. Whatever your brows need to look their best — and biggest — there’s a gel for you.
ILIA Essential Brow Gel, $26 at ILIA
Thicken, fill and sculpt in one easy step with this gel. The buildable, tinted formula also boasts a blend of clean ingredients and organic botanicals that conditions as it turns up the volume.
Glossary Boy Brow, $16 at Glossier
Looking for a clear formula? Meet your new BFF. Glossier’s creamy wax thickens, shapes and grooms. There’s also oleic acid, lecithin and soluble collagen to condition and moisturize.
WUNDERBROW Eyebrow Gel, $22 at WUNDERBROW
The brand’s beloved gel is infused with hair-like fibers, which make it easy to fill in and sculpt your brows. It’s not only waterproof, it’s smudge-proof and transfer-proof. So it lasts and lasts.
Eyeko Tinted Brow Gel, $23 at Ulta Beauty
The color of this brow gel is a universal shade — a mysterious taupe that works for everyone. Plus, it’s packed with keratin, vitamins, antioxidants and protein so it addresses every brow need from shedding to thinning.
Blinc Eyebrow Mousse, $24 at Amazon
If scrawny, brittle brow hairs are your biggest eyebrow concern, look no further. This brow mousse is packed with peptides that soften hair and help it grow thicker and longer. Bonus: It’s available in an impressive range of colors.
NARS Brow Gel, $18.99 at Walmart
This gel has a tiny, tapered brush that makes it easy to touch up every angle of each eyebrow. Even after it dries, it leaves behind a hint of shine — which makeup artists love — while still providing plenty of hold. And the minimalist, matte black packaging is just so chic.
Maybelline Eyestudio Brow Drama Tinted Gel Mousse, $13.96 at Amazon
When you use this brow gel, it coats each hair with a sheer wash of color, almost like you’ve had your brows tinted. It has a light amount of hold — think light hairspray instead of strong — and the ball at the end of the brush helps you grab every hair and comb through clumps.
