Creating a Natural Eyebrow Gel at home is easier than you might think. With just three simple ingredients—natural jelly, beeswax, and unsweetened cocoa powder—you can whip up a brow gel that shapes and fills your eyebrows naturally. It’s perfect for those who want a chemical-free option that still delivers great results.
This DIY eyebrow gel provides a soft hold and a subtle tint, making it ideal for everyday use. Whether you’re looking to fill in gaps or keep your brows in place, this gel can do the job without giving a harsh or overly bold look. Plus, it’s quick to make and can even be used as a light mascara for a natural lash lift.
Ingredients Needed
Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.
- Natural Jelly: You can easily make the jelly yourself at home as per this article: DIY Natural Jelly for Hands.
- Natural Beeswax
- Natural, Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Tools Needed
- Scale to weigh quantities
- Small stainless steel cup
- Teaspoon or glass mixing rod to stir ingredients
- Small, suitable container to store your Natural Eyebrow Gel
Prior to use, ensure that both your utensils and containers are properly cleaned and disinfected. Wash them with warm soapy water, dry with a tissue, and then sanitize by spraying with 70% medical alcohol. Wipe them clean and let them air dry before use.
Steps To Make The Natural Eyebrow Gel
1- Begin by placing 10 grams (0.35 ounces) of natural jelly in a small stainless steel cup.
2- Add 1/2 gram (0.017 ounces) of natural beeswax to the jelly.
3- Melt the contents of the cup slowly over a candle or on a very low-heat stovetop. Gently swirl the cup to help the ingredients melt faster. Make sure not to boil the mixture; just melt it until smooth.
4- Add 2 grams (0.07 ounces) of natural and unsweetened cocoa powder to the melted mixture.
5- Stir the ingredients thoroughly.
6- Hold the cup just above the candle or very low-heat stovetop, and continue stirring to ensure that all the cocoa dissolves completely. This step is crucial to prevent any cocoa powder from settling at the bottom of the storage container.
7- Pour the mixture into a small, suitable container.
8- Allow the mixture to cool completely.
9- Your Natural Eyebrow Gel is now ready to use!
How To Use The Natural Eyebrow Gel
a. Prepare your brows: Begin with freshly cleansed eyebrows. Make sure to remove any makeup or oils that may prevent the gel from adhering properly. This will help the gel last longer throughout the day.
b. Apply the gel: Once the gel has dried fully, dip a clean spoolie or small brush into the eyebrow gel. Use small, gentle strokes to apply the gel to your brows, starting from the inner corner and working your way outwards. Focus on areas where you need extra definition or have sparse hair.
c. Shape and set: After applying the gel, use an eyebrow brush (spoolie) to comb through the hairs in upward and outward motions. This helps distribute the product evenly, giving your brows a natural, well-groomed look while setting them in place. If you desire a fuller, more defined look, you can apply an additional layer, letting each layer dry fully before adding the next.
d. Allow time to dry: Give the gel a few minutes to set properly. This step is crucial to avoid smudging or disturbing the product while it dries.
e. Optional mascara application: The natural eyebrow gel can also be used as a gentle, all-natural mascara. Apply it sparingly to the outer parts of your eyelashes to enhance their look. Be sure to avoid the eyes to prevent irritation.
f. Daily maintenance: This eyebrow gel can be used daily as part of your routine for shaping, filling, and setting brows in place. Thanks to its natural formula, it’s easy to remove with a mild facial cleanser or water at the end of the day, making it a low-maintenance but highly effective option for your beauty regimen.
Benefits
Nourishing and gentle hold: Unlike synthetic brow gels, this natural formula combines beeswax and homemade jelly to give your eyebrows a flexible hold while nourishing the hairs. The beeswax acts as a conditioning agent, making your brows feel soft rather than stiff or sticky.
Subtle and customizable tint: Thanks to the inclusion of natural unsweetened cocoa powder, this eyebrow gel provides a soft, natural tint that enhances the color of your brows without overpowering them. The shade is buildable, allowing you to control how dark or light you want your eyebrows to look. This makes it perfect for achieving a natural, everyday look.
Safe for sensitive skin: With no harsh chemicals or preservatives, this gel is ideal for those with sensitive skin or allergies. The natural ingredients minimize the risk of irritation or adverse reactions.
Eco-friendly and cost-effective: By making this gel at home using simple ingredients, you reduce waste and avoid the environmental impact of packaged beauty products. Plus, it’s far more economical than purchasing store-bought eyebrow gels, especially high-end brands that can be costly.
Versatile as a makeup product: This natural eyebrow gel can double as a lightweight mascara, offering a natural enhancement for your lashes. Its multi-purpose nature makes it a great addition to any minimalistic or natural beauty routine, cutting down on the need for multiple products.
Long-lasting and easy to remove: While the gel provides a soft hold throughout the day, it is easy to remove with a gentle cleanser or just water.
