Once again, we find ourselves in quarantine limbo.

The brow gel, however, has maintained its status as an essential.

Glossier Boy Brow

For The List Beauty Awards, we tested brow gels that were on everybody’s wishlist.

So without further ado, here are The List Beauty Awards: brow gel edition.

True to the brand’s philosophy, the Glossier Boy Brow isn’t a flashy product.

Glossier Boy Brow

It’s super easy to use and is perfect for enhancing your natural brows.

The spoolie brush grabs the perfect amount of the lightweight product as it combs through our brows.

However, if you do have full eyebrows, we’d stick to the clear one.

Kosas Air Brow

Its brow gel is no different.

But with the brow gel retailing at $22, we abstained.

Definitely one of our favorite brow-defining moments of the year.

E.L.F. Wow Brow gel

The bottle itself feels like a sample; it’s tiny, and the brush is even tinier.

With nimble hands, we applied the product to our brows.

The waxy gel-like formula felt very thin and was really easy to comb through.

NYX Tinted eyebrow mascara

It also filled in the gaps in our already-full brows.

The finish wasn’t too stiff either, giving us natural, feathery brows.

However, it didn’t last very long.

Patrick Ta Major Brow Lamination Gel

After a trip to the grocery store, our brows were back to who they used to be.

However, the brow mascara from NYX redeemed itself with its coverage.

The color also looked natural, as did the finish we had bushy brows that lasted throughout the workday.

Overall, the NYX brow gel is a great addition to cut downtime in your brow routine.

At $7.50, it’s a cheap addition, too.

This gel doesn’t give you natural, bushy brows.

We’d like to confirm that he wasn’t lying.

When brushed upwards, the gel creates a soap brow, laminated look.

The hold was unbelievable; the gel stayed put for over 12 hours.

Final verdict: This product transforms your brows but at what cost?

Well, $26 and two brow hairs.

We’ll be sticking with our favorite from now on.
