Product Spotlight: ByEllie Brow Shape
THE HYPE
Slimmer brows look great on 90s supermodels – as does almost anything – but for a flattering, everyday look, you can’t beat a soft, brushed-up effect.
For many, nailing that fluffy look means getting regular brow lamination – a semi-permanent treatment that involves chemically restructuring the hair’s bonds into a lifted shape. Or at least it did, before ByEllie’s TikTok-approved Brow Shape hit the market.
Essentially, it’s a brow gel – but unlike those that have come before, it gives salon-grade fluffiness with powerful, all-day hold. A big part of its appeal is that it removes the need for lamination, with many swearing off the treatment in favour of this game-changer gel.
THE FORMULA
Created with VP/VA copolymer, cocoyl glutamic acid and tocopherol (vitamin E), Brow Shape is designed to strengthen and nourish brow hairs, while also locking them in place with a glue-like hold. The gel itself is clear, and even when it dries down, it’s invisible – meaning it can be used on all hair colours. Swerving a common complaint of other brow gels, it also leaves no unsightly white cast behind. The waxy texture doesn’t feel crunchy either, to the point where you could quite easily pencil in any gaps over the top of the product.
THE BEST WAY TO USE IT
The great thing about Brow Shape is that it’s intuitive to use. Simply dip the spoolie into the gel and coat the hairs with the product. Once the brows are covered you can start to brush them upwards and create your desired shape, whether that’s a soft, ‘Clean Girl’ look, or a more defined, laminated effect using a brow comb.
“I always found that when I worked out or went on holiday, the brow gels I had just wouldn’t hold up in the heat,” says Ellie Carlile, founder of ByEllie. “Brow Shape just refuses to budge. Less is more, and I recommend applying it on dry skin after your skincare, dragging the hairs upwards with a spoolie to give the face a beautiful lift.”
“This has saved me heaps of money on treatments – my brows are done in seconds, and they last all day until I wash my face in the evening. It’s also my go-to on no-make-up days – it just makes me feel instantly more put together.”
THE REVIEWS
“This is the best brow gel ever! I’ve tried a few, and nothing holds my brow hairs down like this. The fact that it doesn’t leave a white cast behind is just game-changing. It stays all day and creates a slick look. I will definitely buy it again – if you’re in doubt, it’s worth every penny! Get it!”
“LOVE LOVE LOVE! I've been on the hunt for a new brow gel to keep my brows in place all day and this product is incredible. You also only need the tiniest bit of product.”
“I was a dubious Instagram purchaser, but I was converted by this amazing product. The hype is real! As a gym gal I need strong hold for my brows – I am hoping this can replace my monthly lamination.”
“After trying numerous brow gels to get a laminated look, I can honestly say this product is amazing. I love how my brows now look fuller and that they stay all day until I wash my face. Well worth the money.”
