brows for days™ framing gel

Tarte brows for days™ framing gel is the clear, no-colour step that holds your brow shape in place. It coats each hair, sets them upward and outward, and — because the formula is waterproof — keeps them there through the day without leaving a crusty film behind.

What it actually does

• Tames and shapes without adding tint. Clear means it works over any brow colour and on its own for a groomed, bare-faced look.
• Sets soft, not stiff. Tarte describes it as a soft-setting gel that leaves no sticky or flaky residue.
• Makes brows look fuller. Coating and lifting each hair creates the appearance of more density than lying flat does.
• Holds through water. The brand lists the formula as waterproof.
• Conditions while it holds. Tarte includes cucumber extract and glycerin, which it says strengthen the brow hair and add shine.
• Doses itself evenly. The handle and wand are designed to pick up a consistent amount each time, so you are not wiping excess off on the rim.
• Vegan and cruelty-free, dermatologist tested, per the brand.

How to use

1. Backcomb first. Run the spoolie against the direction of growth so every hair gets coated from the base.
2. Then brush up and out, smoothing the hairs into the shape you want them to hold.
3. Layer it over colour. Tarte suggests using it on top of a tinted brow pencil or gel where hair looks sparse or thinning.
4. Let it set before you touch your brows again.

Brand tip: fill the brows in with maracuja juicy brow first if you want extra definition underneath the hold.
