Taming The Wild Beast
For Years I have dealt with wild eyebrows! Now I’m not just talking about a hair or two being in the wrong place…I’m talking about the whole brow going in every direction possible!
I’ve tried eyebrow gels and so-called natural eyebrow gel products, but none of them gave me the desired look I was looking for and they certainly didn’t last all day long.
So I set out to find a natural solution, and if I must say so myself, this is the BEST natural eyebrow gel solution that I have found, hands down!
The Magic Ingredient
You know, we tend to overcomplicate things…would you agree? Sometimes the most effective solutions are the simplest ones.
I talk about this a lot in my latest book Natural Solutions for Cleaning & Wellness, and how keeping it simple often creates the best natural solutions!
Most of the ingredients that I use for natural solutions come directly from nature! This natural solution is no different. The ingredient (yes ONE ingredient) that I use to tame my eyebrows is aloe vera gel.
Choosing The Right Aloe Vera Gel
Yes, it is that simple…aloe vera gel is incredibly effective! Not all aloe vera gels are natural, though, and most are loaded with less desirable ingredients. Stay away from these, they won’t work as well, and your skin will absorb the unwanted ingredients!
This is what I use, and it is one of the purest aloe vera on the market. I found it at my local health food store, but you can also find it on Amazon too.
Now you can always use a real aloe vera plant, I have used that too, but I find this aloe vera to be less messy and quite simply easier to apply.
How To Apply
So here is the low down! It’s so simple you’ll be like, WHAT?!?!! Squeeze a very small amount (I’m talking smaller than a small pea size) of aloe vera gel onto your finger, or onto an eyebrow brush.
Gently rub over your eyebrows and style them the way you’d like them to look. Here is the trick, though! Once you’ve applied the gel, let it completely dry…don’t mess with them, don’t brush them, just leave them be. It will be a little stiff at first, but as it drys it will soften.
Once dry (about 2-3 minutes) apply your eyebrow powder if needed and just leave your brows be. Again, don’t brush them, shape them or mess with them, just leave them be!
You will be amazed that even at the end of a long day, your eyebrows will still have their shape that you sculpted earlier that morning.
Other Uses For Aloe Vera Gel
As discussed in my new book, aloe vera gel has a ton of other uses!
Pure aloe vera gel has antibacterial qualities and contains vitamins and mineral that can help with so many skin issues.
It moisturizes skin, tones skin, relieves minor burns and makes an excellent eye makeup remover. If you haven’t used aloe vera gel recently, I suggest you give it a try. It truly is amazing and I use it daily!

OMG! My husband needs this. I’m going to try it on him when he gets home! 😉
Haha Katja!! My husband uses this as well, and LOVES it! 🙂
Thank you for all the details on how to make it look perfect! This is great!
You’re welcome, Renee! Hope you love it as much as we do!
I went to Amazon to see reviews and the ingredients listed shows Parabens???? Unless I somehow misread as the label pictures were kind of split.
Whoa, now that is a change in ingredients! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Here is the other brand that I use regularly.http://amzn.to/2jz77St
It’s still the same link, it doesn’t show a different product.
This is so awesome. It’s something I know a lot of people would probably overlook buying in the store, and it’s fantastic to have a natural solution.
Wow, so simple yet so effective! I love things like this. Wish I had more eyebrows to actually gel (ah, lovely Hashimoto’s eyebrow thinning), but maybe this will help the sparse few I have 🙂
This is awesome Halle! I have the wild crazy bushy eyebrows that need taming. Can’t wait to try this on them 🙂
I did not know people gelled their eyebrows! 🙂 What a great and easy alternative, though! So helpful!
I agree that we tend to overcomplicate things much of the time, this is so easy though. Thanks!
Thanks for this incredibly informative blog post, I had no idea people did such things as gelling their eyebrows.
It works wonders! 🙂
Oh my! Thanks so much for this post. I’ve been spending $$$ in sephora to buy eyebrow gel. Now I finally know how to do it by myself. Thank you thank you !
Make up is so overpriced! I try any way possible to save where I can and this is a great way to do that!
Wow!!! This is such a fantastic idea! I never would have thought about this!
Wow, I had no idea you could make this at home! So cool.
Ahhhhh. I love nature. It gives us everything we need, even simple eyebrow gel. I needed this for my morning routine. Thank you!
So true! Nature is full of treasures!
