PRECAUTION
Flammability Warning:
- CRITICAL: Contains highly flammable ingredients (Isododecane, Isohexadecane, C9-12 Alkane). Never use near fire, flame, heat sources (like curling irons, straighteners, cigarettes, stoves), or while smoking. Allow product to dry completely before exposing to any potential heat source. Store away from heat and open flames.
Eye Contact & Application Area:
- For External Use Only: This product is designed only for use on eyebrow hairs and the skin directly beneath them.
- Avoid Direct Eye Contact: Do not apply to eyelashes or allow the product to get into the eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of cool water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
- Avoid Lash Line & Waterline: Application too close to the lash line increases the risk of product migrating into the eye.
Skin Sensitivity & Allergies:
- Patch Test Recommended: Before first use, especially if you have sensitive skin, eczema, or known cosmetic allergies, perform a patch test. Apply a small amount to the inside of your elbow or behind your ear. Wait 24-48 hours. If redness, itching, swelling, or irritation occurs, do not use the product on your face.
- Potential Irritants/Allergens: While generally formulated to be skin-friendly, potential allergens vary per individual. Be mindful of:
- Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Ultramarines (CI 77510 in NR05): Common colorants, rarely allergenic but possible.
- Botanical Oils (Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Olive Fruit Oil): Generally well-tolerated, but any natural ingredient has potential for sensitivity.
- Synthetic Waxes/Polymers: Low risk, but individual reactions possible.
- Preservative System (Caprylyl Glycol + acidic pH): Considered mild, but sensitivity is individual.
- Discontinue Use if Irritation Occurs: If you experience any stinging, redness, itching, swelling, or discomfort on your brows or surrounding skin after application, stop using the product immediately and rinse the area.
Pre-Existing Skin Conditions:
- Avoid use on broken, irritated, sunburned, or infected skin on or around the brows. Consult a dermatologist before use if you have severe skin conditions like active dermatitis or psoriasis in the brow area.
Ingestion:
- Not for Consumption: Keep out of reach of children and pets. If accidentally ingested, seek medical attention immediately.
Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources (due to flammability).
- Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use to prevent drying out and minimize solvent evaporation.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding:
- While most topical cosmetics pose minimal risk, consult your doctor or healthcare provider before using any new cosmetic product if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
How to Apply
Achieving the signature "soft wavy" look is easy:
- Prep: Start with clean, dry brows. Brush brows upwards with a clean spoolie or dry toothbrush to lift hairs and see their natural direction. (Optional: Lightly fill sparse areas with pencil/powder first if needed, but the gel alone often suffices).
- Load the Brush: Twist open the tube. Wipe off excess product from the spoolie brush against the tube opening. Less is more – you can always add another layer. Too much product leads to stiffness or clumping.
Apply & Sculpt (The Key Step):
- Position: Hold the tube so the angled side of the spoolie faces downwards (towards your skin/lashes).
- Stroke: Starting at the inner corner of your brow, place the spoolie flat underneath your brow hairs.
- Brush Up & Out: Using short, firm, upward and slightly outward strokes (following your brow's natural arch), brush the hairs against their growth direction towards your temples. Apply gentle pressure to really lift the hairs at the root. Focus on the body and tail of the brow where you want the most lift and wave.
- Inner Brow: For the inner part (closest to your nose), use lighter, more vertical strokes to create a natural fade. Avoid applying too much product here to prevent a blocky look.
Shape & Blend:
- Immediately after applying, use the clean tip of the angled spoolie or a separate clean spoolie to:
- Gently brush hairs along their natural growth direction to blend the product seamlessly and soften any harsh lines.
- Refine the shape and tame any stray hairs.
- Ensure the inner brows look soft and feathered.
Build (Optional): If you desire more color intensity or hold, wait 10-15 seconds for the first layer to set slightly, then repeat Step 3 with another thin layer, focusing on areas needing extra definition or lift.
Set & Finish: Allow the gel to dry completely (takes seconds). It will become transfer-proof and weightless. Avoid touching until dry.
Pro Tips for the "Soft Wavy" Look:
- Focus the Lift: Apply the most pressure and product to the arch and tail for maximum lift and wave. Use a lighter hand at the inner brow.
- Angle is Everything: Using the angled spoolie correctly (flat side down) gives optimal control for sculpting upwards.
- Don't Skip the Blend: The quick brush-through after application is crucial for dispersing product evenly, preventing clumps, and achieving a natural, fluffy finish – not spiky.
- Layer Wisely: Build in thin layers for hold and color without heaviness.
- Apply After Foundation/Concealer: This ensures a clean base and prevents product from sticking to makeup underneath.
When to Use It:
- For everyday natural, fluffy brows.
- To quickly groom and define brows in seconds.
- To create the popular "soap brow" or "feathered brow" effect with more flexibility and nourishment.
- To set brows after using pencils or powders for extra hold and longevity.
