Brushed Up Brows Step by Step
Maintaining well-groomed brows is essential for a polished, effortless look. If you’re wondering how to keep your brows brushed up and perfectly styled all day long, the answer lies in the right technique — and the right product. Enter: Clean Girl Brow Slick™, a cult-favorite styling gel known for its extreme hold, clean ingredients, and natural, feathered finish.
Follow the steps below to achieve flawless, brushed up brows that stay in place from morning to night.
Step 1: Start with Clean Brows
Begin with a fresh canvas. Gently cleanse your brow area to remove any oil, makeup, or residue. This helps Clean Girl Brow Slick™ grip each hair better for a longer-lasting hold.
Step 2: Brush Up the Front of the Brow
Using the included spoolie, apply Clean Girl Brow Slick™ to the front section of your brows, brushing hairs straight up. This instantly gives your brows a lifted, airy appearance—perfect for that “clean girl” aesthetic.
Step 3: Sculpt Upward and Outward
Continue brushing the remaining brow hairs upward and slightly outward, following your natural shape. The gel’s flexible hold makes it easy to sculpt while keeping things soft and fluffy — not stiff or crunchy.
Step 4: Press for Precision
Use the flat, plastic end of the spoolie to press brow hairs gently into the skin. This sets the shape in place and adds a more laminated, editorial look — without the hassle of salon appointments.
Brow Brushing Mistakes to Avoid
Even with the right product, a few missteps can sabotage your brushed up brow look. Avoid these common mistakes:
Using too much product: More doesn’t always mean better. Start with a small amount of gel and build up if needed.
Brushing too far outward: Brushing outward instead of up (especially at the front) can make brows appear droopy instead of lifted.
Not pressing the hairs down: Skipping the final pressing step can lead to flyaways and reduced staying power.
Applying over oily skin: Oil breaks down product hold. Always start with clean, dry skin for best results.
Can You Do Brushed Up Brows with Sparse or Thin Brows?
Yes! In fact, brushed up brows are one of the best tricks for faking fuller, more lifted arches.
Why it works: Brushing brow hairs upward creates the illusion of density and lift — even when you’re working with minimal growth.
Make it even better: Use Clean Girl Brow Slick™ first, then fill in any sparse areas with a brow pencil or Madluvv Brow Stamp™ for definition.
Even if your brows are overplucked, uneven, or just naturally thin, this look gives you structure without looking overdrawn.
