OK, are you ready?
Here we go… I want you to provide this a try: when you get a chance, try applying a brow gel to your brows before you utilize your brow pencil or brow powder, instead of doing it after.
I understand it seems cray, however hear me out. Yes, it’s unconventional, however I’ve been doing it this method this month, as well as I promise it works much better for me than doing it the other method around, where you begin with your brow pencil as well as comply with that up with your brow gel.

And here’s why: when I apply the brow gel before utilizing a brow pencil, the gel thickens my bit brow hairs as well as makes them somewhat stickier, to ensure that when I then utilize my brow pencil (or whichever other filler I choose), the product has something much more considerable than bare skin as well as hair to adhere to. The pencil product clings to the hairs as well as skin much better as well as even lasts longer.
Plus, when I do go the traditional path as well as begin by filling out my brows with a pencil before setting them with a gel, I undoubtedly end up with bare patches that I end up having to re-fill with pencil again, as the gel undoubtedly disturbs what I previously did with the pencil, gah!
I don’t understand if this is just since of me as well as the method I do it, however the re-filling doesn’t occur when I begin with the gel, so it likewise ends up saving time as well as product.
The essential is to wait on your brow gel to be practically totally dry (about 80%) before you utilize the pencil, since if you go in with your pencil while your gel is sopping wet, it’ll just look messy.
I’ll typically apply the gel, then clean my brow hairs into location as well as wait up until the gel is about 80% dry before utilizing the pencil to fill in the sparse spots. then when I’m finished with that, I’ll do a light clean with when much more to mellow out any type of excessively dark areas.
By the way, my go-to holy grail brow combo has been Anastasia Beverly Hills remove Gel as well as metropolitan Decay Brow Beater (I wear the shade called Neutral Brown) for the past six months, as well as I believe it’s a excellent combo to utilize with this method.
