Brow Styling Wax vs. Clear Brow Gel: What’s the Difference?

Fluffy, feathered brows are always in, but not all brow products work the same. Choosing between a brow styling wax or a clear brow gel can be confusing, but we’re brow experts at Alison Jade and we’re here to help.

Brow Styling Wax: The Ultimate Lamination Effect

Best for: Mimicking brow lamination, strong hold, and ultimate shaping power. 

For a sculpted, lifted-brow look, styling wax is your best friend. This formula grips onto hairs, offering all-day hold with a flexible yet strong finish.

Unlike gels, wax has a slightly tacky texture that lets you shape and mould brows effortlessly. You can create a soft, fluffy finish or a bold, brushed-up effect.

For serious hold, try our best-selling Brow Lock. This ultra-strong styling wax keeps brows in place all day while adding a sleek, laminated effect. Our unique formula will lock every hair in place without flaking or residue.

Clear Brow Gel: Effortless, Everyday Definition

Best for: A soft, natural hold and effortless, polished brows. 

Think of clear brow gel as mascara for your brows—it enhances what’s already there. It coats the hairs lightly, giving them structure without stiffness.

Clear gels are perfect for taming unruly brows while maintaining a natural look. They offer a polished, defined finish without feeling heavy or sticky. Ideal for everyday wear, clear gels keep brows in place without looking over styled.

For a lightweight, natural hold, try Brow Fix. This clear gel keeps your brows perfectly in place while maintaining a soft, flexible finish. It contains Vitamin B5 extract, to nourish and moisturise brow hairs whilst holding them in place.
