THE BEST BROW GELS IN 2025

Brow Gels: A Staple for Everyone

If there could be one staple for my brows – it would have to be a really good eyebrow gel.

To help explain why, I googled the merits of an  ‘eyebrow gel’, and the AI description proved to be pretty spot on:

 

"Eyebrow gel is a versatile makeup product used to shape, hold, and often tint eyebrows. It can be used to tame unruly hairs, add colour, and even thicken sparse patches. Some gels also have conditioning ingredients."

At BBB London, brows are more than beauty; they’re our legacy.

For over two decades, we’ve lived and breathed the art of the brow, so when it came to creating our line of brow gels, we didn’t leave anything to chance.

Each formula was carefully developed by our expert team and leading cosmetic scientists to meet real brow needs, not trends.

Whether it’s hold, volume, tint, or the elusive soft-definition that makes brows feel naturally yours, every gel we make is designed to deliver at least one (or all) of these intentional benefits.

We’re not here to follow the category - we’ve helped define it.

And our mission is simple: to create products with purpose. Ones that work with your brows, not just on them.
 

To help appreciate the work of an almighty brow gel, I  am going to unpick this definition, one by one, and more specifically what makes 'the best brow gel' in 2025.

THE BEST BROW GELS IN 2025

#1: Their Versatility

Why is this item missing from so many make-up bags? I have gifted the Clear Brow Gloss to many friends and once used – there is no turning back.

It is the perfect finishing product for any brow routine or perfect, simply used on its own.

It is the one tool that gives the brows the character they deserve.

Plus, there's a reason it's voted'The Best Brow Gel' by Harper's Bazaar.

#2: It Can Tame Unruly Hairs

This goes without saying but many are under the impression that a gel is only for those with a wilder brow.

It is equally beneficial for the everyday brow and the next line of the definition explains further.

#3: The Ability to Shape and Hold

Eyebrow gels are a brilliant tool to shape the brows. As the gel is swept through the brows (upward motions) it creates shape and gives them shine.

Like humans, that’s often all that all brows require – to be lifted and held.

I often liken it to setting hair with a hair spray – style and set as you wish. Clear Brow Gloss works well as an all-rounder and a brilliant universal product.


Tip: It is important that a gel is not too flaky or doesn’t over stiffen the brows for a natural finish.

For those that want a more dramatic or laminated look, sweep the brows higher and not necessarily across.

#4: Tint Eyebrows

Our Tinted Brow Gel works as the Clear Brow Gloss does but with that hint of colour.

For those with pale brows or those that simply want to even out patchy brows, a tinted gel works wonders.

It can replace chemical tinting (for those that would rather not) and sets the brows in one swoop.

Chai for pale and blonde brow hairs, Indian Chocolate for warm brown brows, and Clove for a deep richer tone.

If lacking brows, a pencil can be used first to fill and even, with a gel on top to brush and lift, creating the impression of perfect brows.

#5: Thicken sparse patches

The Brow Build Gel has micro fibre hairs in them, which marvellously mimic actual brow hairs.

Once the gel is swept through the brows, those teeny weeny microfibres latch on to the actual brows and immediately thicken them whilst leaving a deposit of colour to further fill the brows.

#5: Have conditioning ingredients.
