How to Glue Down Your Eyebrows: The Ultimate Guide for 2024

Preparation: The Key to Success

Before you start gluing down your eyebrows, it's crucial to prepare your brow area properly.

Clean and Brush Your Brows

Begin by cleaning your eyebrows with a cotton pad soaked in alcohol to remove any natural oils or moisturizers that might interfere with the adhesive. Use a spoolie brush to brush your brow hairs vertically, ensuring they are as clean and dry as possible.

Cleaning and brushing brows

Choose the Right Glue

Selecting the right adhesive is vital for the longevity and comfort of your glued-down brows. For those who don’t tend to sweat much, an Elmer’s Glue Stick is an excellent choice. These glue sticks are easy to apply, dry clear, and are generally safe for skin use. However, if you tend to sweat more, consider using Pros-Aide Cream, which is more durable and suitable for longer-lasting applications.

Application: Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Apply the Glue

Take your chosen adhesive and apply it to your eyebrows, making sure to cover every strand of hair. For glue sticks, you can apply the glue directly to your brows or use a cosmetics spatula to transfer the glue. If using Pros-Aide Cream, be quick as it dries faster and is thicker to work with. Use a wet fingertip to smooth out the glue, filling in the grooves between the brow hairs.

Step 2: Smooth and Dry

While the glue is still tacky but not wet, use your spoolie to brush your brows back into their natural position or flat, depending on your preference. For added security, apply another layer of glue over your brows to lock the hairs in place. If using Pros-Aide, you can speed up the drying process by gently blowing over your brows with a cool setting on a blow-dryer.

Step 3: Multiple Layers for a Smooth Finish

To ensure a completely smooth surface, you may need to apply multiple layers of glue. After each layer, smooth out the glue with a wet fingertip and let it dry before applying the next layer. This process helps fill in any grooves between the brow hairs, creating a flat and even surface.

Finishing Touches: Conceal and Enhance

Step 4: Powder to Set

Once the glue is completely dry, use a translucent powder to set the glue and prevent any smudging. This step is crucial for maintaining the smooth canvas you’ve created. Use a makeup brush to pack the powder over the glued area, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 5: Conceal and Foundation

Lightly brush off any excess powder and apply a full coverage concealer over the entire eyebrow area. Use a waterproof formula to ensure the concealer stays in place all day. Blend the concealer with a makeup sponge, being careful not to disturb the glued-down brows. Follow up with a full coverage foundation, applying it all over your face and blending it well to create a seamless look.

Removal: How to Safely Take Off the Glue

Removing the glue from your eyebrows is as important as applying it.

For Glue Sticks

To remove glue sticks, soak your brows in baby oil or an oil-based makeup remover with hot water. Gently massage the area until the glue loosens and can be easily wiped away.

For Pros-Aide Cream

If you used Pros-Aide Cream, it’s essential to use the brand’s remover to avoid damaging your eyebrows. Apply the remover according to the instructions and gently wipe away the glue.

Tips and Tricks

  • Practice Makes Perfect: Gluing down your eyebrows takes practice, especially if you're new to this technique. Be patient and don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t turn out perfectly the first time.
  • Choose the Right Tools: Use a high-quality spoolie brush and makeup sponge to ensure smooth application and blending.
  • Set with Powder: Always set your glue and makeup with powder to prevent smudging and ensure a long-lasting look.
  • Blend Carefully: When applying concealer and foundation, blend carefully around the edges to avoid disturbing the glued-down brows.
