"Brow Lamination is at your fingertips with this innovative, dual-sided gel and brush combo!" says makeup artist Nicole Faulkner. "Use the spoolie end with the powerful holding wax and then brush/comb through your eyebrows in an upward motion for salon-perfect brows every time! If you've wanted to experiment with brow laminating but want a less permanent and more affordable alternative, you're gonna want to add this to your cart immediately!" Makeup artist Tomy Rivero is also a fan. "This product gives long-lasting, high-shine hold for a lamination look without the commitment. It doesn’t flake or get white if you reapply either."

"It's not sticky and it sets down instantly," says makeup artist Hannah Wills. "It's the easiest thing I've found and it stays in place. You can flick your brows up as much as you want or make them look more tame. You can put it on before or after you fill your brows in. I put brow powder in after and it doesn't alter the gel."
