And if not? Then we will take on arms a transparent eyebrow gel. In this article, we will look at what they are, and make a rating of the best manufacturers of this cosmetic product.

Gels and more
Lipsticks are very popular with fashionistas. But not for lips, but for eyebrows. They help fillcontour, give the hairs the desired color and shine. There are lipsticks that also perform the function of a gel - that is, they securely fix the hairs. But all these products have one thing in common: they contain wax in their composition. And this beekeeping product can cause a reaction in allergy sufferers, especially since the agent is applied to sensitive skin near the eyelids. The wax also begins to melt in the sun. Transparent brow gel, unlike lipsticks, is more resistant to heat and radiation. It doesn't itch. Due to its lighter consistency (something between cream and foam), it does not weigh down the hairs. There are also gel mascaras. They not only fix, but also give the hairs color. Eyebrow gel marker differs from mascara in that the effect lasts for several weeks. This is a great alternative to painful tattoos. And finally, gel wax - for completely naughty eyebrows. It helps not only to fix coarse hairs, but also to give a contour.
How to choose a quality clear brow gel
Given the fashion trends, many manufacturers of decorative cosmetics have taken up the release of this tool. Therefore, the choice before the buyer is really wide. How not to get confused and choose a quality product? Let's name the distinguishing features of a good eyebrow gel. It is sold in a transparent bottle. The composition necessarily includes a brush - the same as for mascaras. First of all, you should pay attention to the chemical composition of the gel. It will be good if the list of ingredients includes substances such asnatural vegetable oils and vitamins. They strengthen the hair follicles of the eyebrows, stimulate their growth. Unscrew the cap and sniff the product: a high-quality transparent eyebrow gel should have a light and pleasant unobtrusive aroma, or even be odorless. At the same time, pay attention to the texture of the product. It should be light as foam. A good gel should be resistant to heat and sunlight. After all, it will be unpleasant if your eyebrows “float”. But the gel should also be washed off easily - with a simple make-up remover.
Which remedy to choose
If we can check the presence and quality of the brush, composition, texture and smell in the store before buying, then other qualities have to be tested on ourselves after the fact. Therefore, it is worth purchasing a product from eminent companies that have proven themselves in the market with other cosmetic products. Some brands produce both tonal and completely transparent eyebrow gels. Some companies offer a "two in one" tool - including for eyelash makeup. It is applied after the mascara dries, and gives the hairs a natural glossy shine. When choosing a transparent fixing eyebrow gel, pay attention to whether it contains glitter. Some companies produce such a tool for evening makeup. Glitter only shows up under electric light.
