Eyebrow and eyelash gel

As they say, the eyes are the mirror of the soul, and eyebrows and eyelashes are in close proximity to them. There are a huge number of products for their design - from well-known pencils and paints to fixing waxes and gels.

Despite not being particularly popular, eyebrow and eyelash gel can serve the owners of thick, unruly eyebrows and long eyelashes in good stead. This is usually a gel texture that will help you fix the hairs in the desired position. It will help you look well-groomed 24/7, be sure that the mascara will not crumble, and the eyebrows will not “flow” at the most inopportune moment.

The gel sets very quickly - it is worth applying it, as after a minute the hairs will be fixed in the desired position. It is not felt on the skin and hairs - but they become a little more glossy in appearance and dense to the touch. The gel is waterproof and does not require long-term application, just a couple of brush strokes.

It will help to give the hairs a light shade - completely unobtrusive and not graphic, like mascara or a pencil. And the effect of gel paint looks completely natural.

Gels are guaranteed to contain hair conditioner, herbal extracts, oils and glycerin, various vitamins, for example, D-panthenol, otherwise vitamin B5, known for its nutritional and regenerating, strengthening properties, vitamins A and E, working in combination and directing their strength to hair growth. Additionally, there are also chemical components. The less the latter will be in the composition, the less likely to get an allergic reaction or irritation. It is also noteworthy that the gel does not contain alcohol, so it is suitable for use even by ladies with sensitive skin in the area around the eyes.

The gel is divided by purpose into:

1. Modeling or fixing (fixing) gel, which allows you to give eyelashes or eyebrows an exquisite bend, volume. As a rule, such gels fix the hairs, slightly lifting, opening the eyelashes, and vice versa, smoothing the eyebrows, forcing the hairs to lie one to the other in the right direction.
2. Healing or caring (caring) gels will help restore the density of eyelashes and grow beautiful eyebrows. They include various essential and base oils, vitamins, extracts of red pepper, mustard and other warming components.
3. Correction gel further divided by color pigment into transparent, the purpose of which is only to fix the hairs without coloring them, pigmented, which, as a rule, is available in dark and light brown, gray and black shades, as well as on permanentused in beauty salons for permanent make-up of eyes and eyebrows.

According to the form of release of gels stand out:

1. Pencils. Very durable, even water resistant. They don't smudge or smudge. But they are only suitable for eyebrows.
2. Markers. More pigmented, give a brighter shade. Suitable for graphic eyebrows, have the effect of tattooing or permanent makeup, as part of henna.
3. Carcasses. Each hair is stained from root to tip, the most common form of release. They also comb the hairs and style them.
4. Creams. Suitable for medicinal or coloring purposes, somewhat similar to henna and sometimes have it in their composition. Eyebrows and eyelashes look thicker after use.

This is a very versatile tool. Of course, its main task is to fix the hairs, but its use is not limited to this. Take a closer look at the brow and eyelash gel if you want:

1. Model the shape of the eyebrows and fix them in the desired position;
2. Give eyelashes volume and density;
3. Give eyebrows a natural shine and well-groomed appearance;
4. Protect hairs from negative environmental factors;
5. Grow them (for healing gels);
6. Paint over the voids of the eyebrows (for tint or permanent, as well as gel paints);
7. Extend the durability of eye/eyebrow makeup;
8. Get an all-in-one eye/eyebrow product for every day.

Before applying any product, the face must be properly cleaned - using a foam or gel cleanser. Then, after blotting your face with a towel, you should pick up tweezers and any long, straight object, such as a pencil.First of all, check if the shape of the eyebrows is harmonious, whether it suits your face. Attach the pencil to the extreme point of the nostril perpendicular to the line of the chin. The tip of the pencil will point to the beginning of the eyebrow. Rotate it at an angle of about 45 degrees so that the tip passes through the extreme point of the pupil, closer to the outer corner of the eye. This is where the highest point of the eyebrow should be. And finally, point the tip of the pencil to the outer corner of the eye. There the eyebrow should end.

Gently pluck out excess hairs, walk with tweezers along the bridge of the nose, but do not overdo it. After shaping the eyebrows, gently comb them with a special brush - sometimes it comes with a gel. First up - and with nail scissors, cut too long hairs. Then down - cut it here too. Return the hairs to their original position. Now you can start decorating with pigment. If you don't color them, skip this step.

Take your usual product from the cosmetic bag - a pencil, eye shadow or pigmented gel. With the latter, everything is simple - comb your eyebrows in the right direction, while filling them with pigment. It’s a little more difficult with a pencil and shadows - you need to draw straight lines first along the lower border, along the upper one, then fill the eyebrow from the inside with neat short strokes. Shade with the same brush that you used to comb your eyebrows. Now it's the turn of the gel - transparent or pigmented to give an even more pronounced color.

Eyelashes should also be combed first, carefully separated. The gel should be applied moving from roots to ends. This will lift the lashes and make them more defined. Go over your lashes once if you're going to apply mascara on top, or twice if you're not going to use it.

If we are talking about gel paints, then when using them, you need to be extremely careful - the paint should not get on the sensitive mucous membrane of the eye. It is necessary to carefully rid the eyelashes, eyebrows and the skin around them of makeup and dirt, degrease the eyebrows with alcohol lotion. Carefully outline the shape you want to paint over with a white pencil, and apply a greasy cream to the area around it - so as not to accidentally paint over the skin. The gel is applied with a special brush or an ordinary art brush, it lasts from 5 to 10 minutes, it is washed off with water or napkins. The effect lasts from a week to five. Below is a video instruction on how to use the coloring gel.

With therapeutic gels, the situation is slightly different - they should be applied to eyelashes or eyebrows twice a day or throughout the day without cosmetics, as such funds may not be absorbed.

"Eyebrow Filler - Perfecting & Shaping Gel" by Catrice - an excellent representative of budget gels for eyebrows and eyelashes. Gels, like pencils from this company, have an excellent palette of shades close to natural. It differs from others in addition to the price (only about 300 rubles) in that it can be used solo - it is very well pigmented and really does not require shadows, paint or a pencil for itself.

Gel for eyebrows and eyelashes from Mac "Brow Set" has amazing reviews and a rating of 4, 8. Customers note a wide range of shades - everyone will find a color for themselves, convenient packaging with a limiter and a thick pile brush that perfectly combs eyebrows. The gel lies on the eyebrows without lumps, lasts about 6-8 hours, then just weightlessly comes off. And if applied again after eyebrow shaping or applying mascara, it can prolong the durability of makeup and will not disappear with a hair until the make-up removal process. And the tint gel perfectly fills the voids and gives the eyebrows volume. The product is very economical - on average it lasts for 6-8 months.

Separately, I want to note the eyebrow gel "Inglot Amc Brow Liner Gel", which has a rating of as much as 4.9. It perfectly fills the voids and is able to create a truly natural look, does not overload the face and does not make it heavy. The consistency is soft and easy to blend. You should definitely pay attention to Inglot if you are looking for the perfect eyebrow gel - especially since they have a huge palette of shades, you will definitely pick up something for yourself. Of the relative disadvantages, one can single out the absence of a brush in the set - you need to purchase it yourself, as well as a brush for shading.

"Eyebrow Filler - Perfecting & Shaping Gel" from Catrice has a rating - 4 and, in general, positive reviews. First of all, ladies note the affordable price, and secondly, they praise excellent natural and natural shades.The gel is very convenient to use - the brush is long and of sufficient size to paint over wide eyebrows and eyelashes from the base. However, more often ladies use it specifically for eyebrows - since it has an excellent shading property, after it you can not use another pigmented product. Visually makes them thicker, gives volume and perfectly fixes.

At Vivienne Sabo there are several interesting and quite budgetary gels - transparent and brown. It is called a gel for eyebrows and eyelashes "Vivienne Sabo Fixateur" Transparent Fixing", and it is really versatile. It shows itself as an excellent worker both on eyelashes and on eyebrows. The former look voluminous and long with it, and the eyebrows are perfectly fixed. The brush has the perfect curve and size, it is double - for combing and direct application. The design of the bottle is also pleasing to the eye, as well as the budget cost - it is sold at a price of 150 rubles.Rating - 4, 4

Here's the brow gel "Lamel Professional Brow Gel" has very conflicting reviews - half positive, half negative. The former claim that the gel has a convenient liquid consistency - a drop can be squeezed into a small jar and, shading as it is formed, applied with a brush. Others say that the gel seizes too quickly, hardens with an unpleasant crust, crumbles in lumps and looks unnatural. Probably not suitable for thick eyebrows. In addition, they note that it takes a long and tedious to apply, and the brush that comes with the kit is not very convenient - it “balds”, and the villi fall out.

growth enhancer Ardell has a rating of 3 and actually negative reviews.The price-quality ratio is completely wrong, the gel is not worth the money. It is sold at a price of 500 rubles in a tube, similar to a carcass packaging with a long and thick brush. The effect is not particularly noticeable, the girls notice improvements only after a few months, when it is no longer clear whether the gel worked this way or genetics. There is also no expiration date on the tube, so it is not clear when the product can no longer be used. When it comes into contact with mucous membranes, it burns the eyelids.

Reviews about the tool "JUST BrowGel" amazing, and the rating is 4, 9. Firstly, they note a convenient consistency and form of release - a glass tube in the amount of 2.3 grams. The gel has a dryish mousse consistency, it hardens quite quickly, but at the same time, it does not float even in the heat, it is easily extinguished and does not leave marks on the skin during and after wearing. Good, but not too pigmented - it's almost impossible to overdo it with it. Despite the fact that the tool perfectly fills the eyebrow, gives it color, it does not fix the hairs at all - for this it is better to use some kind of colorless transparent fixative gel on top.

Gel Essence has a rating of 3, 9 and somewhat conflicting reviews. The girls note that he will not cope with really naughty eyebrows - the covering and fixing ability is rather weak. And he glues the eyelashes, and even the mascara on top does not save the situation. On the other hand, owners of thin eyebrows note that, on the contrary, it is quite convenient to use, copes with thin and short hairs. It is definitely not for sable eyebrows and long eyelashes, but at this price - 200 rubles - it is worth trying and deciding whether it suits you or not.

"Fix&Care" from "Art Visage" very popular.Every third girl has it in her cosmetic bag. The tool has an average rating of 4, 5 and very laudatory reviews. Available in several colors - transparent, dark and light brown, as well as traditional black. It is noted that these shades are completely natural and natural, do not look graphic, and at the same time perfectly paint over the eyebrows.

Light brown is suitable for blondes, as it does not redden at all. The gel has a convenient packaging and a brush that picks up exactly as much money as you need. However, it will not suit completely “naked” eyebrows - after all, there should be enough hairs, and then it will perfectly paint over them. It does not stain the skin, but the fluffy transparent hairs - yes, giving the eyebrows extra volume. Suitable for use on eyelashes, but due to the excellent effect on the eyebrows, customers in this direction are almost never used.
