A few years ago, we spent ten minutes drawing two “symmetrical” commas in pencil. Today, it’s almost the opposite. The eyebrows should be thick, brushed upwards and slightly bushy, but controlled. Yes, the whole difficulty is there. And since the browlift has invaded Instagram and TikTok, our old transparent gels have had to rethink their copy.
essence is tackling this new trend with its Brow Lift gel, a tinted product that smoothes each hair. It also adds color, redraws the line and helps to camouflage small holes. Very handy when a sparse area completely breaks the arch.
A browlift effect that also fills in sparse areas
The particularity of this medium brown version is precisely its color. The coverage remains moderate, so there is no question of ending up with two brown lines stuck above the eyes. The gel deposits just enough pigment to reshape the arc, intensify the line and give more density. The spaces between the hairs become less visible and the eyebrow immediately appears fuller.
The dual-ended applicator also does a lot of the work. A brush distributes the material and catches the hairs, while the comb allows them to be placed in the desired direction. Upwards for a rolled and lifted effect, slightly diagonally if you prefer something more natural. And unlike the real browlift performed in an institute, here everything disappears when you remove your makeup.
Up to 18 hours of wear to keep brows in place
Because a perfectly groomed eyebrow at 8 o’clock that droops at noon interests absolutely no one, essence also focuses on fixation. The formula promises hold of up to 18 hours, without crumbling once dry. The goal: to maintain raised, structured and disciplined hair from morning to evening.
The formula is also vegan, fragrance-free, alcohol-free, oil-free and paraben-free. Shade 03 medium brown blends easily into the line when you are mainly looking to gain definition. In the end, this little gel almost does the job of pencil, mascara and wax all by itself.
How to use Essence Brow Lift Gel?
Start by applying a small amount of tinted gel to clean eyebrows. The brush is used to distribute the material and color the hairs, then the comb allows them to be raised and worked on their shape. For a real browlift effect, place more emphasis on the head of the eyebrow before gradually following its natural movement.
Does this essence gel really help fill holes?
Shade 03 medium brown has medium coverage which colors hairs and small sparse areas. It can therefore make spaces less visible and give the impression of denser and better defined eyebrows. However, for a large hole or a hairless area, a very fine pencil will remain more precise.
How long does Essence Brow Lift gel last?
The range announces a fixation of up to 18 hours. Once dry, the formula is designed to keep eyebrows in place without crumbling. The actual hold may of course vary depending on the quantity applied, the nature of the hair and the day.
