Don't get us wrong, we love summers but not so much for our bodies. The sweating, the chip-chip, and the urge to dunk our face in a bucket filled with ice 'cause of the heat automatically makes you want to not even think about stepping out of your homes. But when you do step out, if that outing somehow requires you to slap on some makeup, it instantly becomes a turnoff. So what does a usual beat in the heat look like? Just spot concealing, bronzer/blush and most importantly, shaping the brows to frame your face and give that little something to your appearance.

For the last bit, we feel brow gels are just the right pick since they hold every hair in place, minus the bleeding of colour when you sweat. And here are our picks that won't budge and keep your brow hairs tamed even when everything feels like falling apart in the scorching heat.

The OG brow gel is still one of the top-rated eyebrow products in the game. This 24-hour clear brow gel shapes and tames brows and locks on the products applied underneath (brow pencil, powder or pomade) so brows don't pull a disappearing act when the sun acts up. Post-drying, it doesn't make your brow hair look (or feel) crusty, thanks to the flake-free formula. The dual-sided wand coats hairs from root to tip so you don't have to make aggressive strokes by anyhow.

We had to include another e.l.f. brow product on the list because we can never get enough of them (and their dupe generating capacity). The e.l.f. Brow Lift Clear, famously known as the dupe of the Anastasia Brow Freeze, is an extreme-hold clear eyebrow shaping wax that holds your brows in place for a fluffy, feathered soap brow look. We would suggest getting this one only if you have bushy brows since it won't work that well on sparse eyebrow hairs.

It is a one-of-a-kind formula made to be used as both a brow gel and a mascara to give you long and voluminous lashes and feathery brows. Truth be told, it doesn't have that crazy hold as other products on this list but what we like about this one is that it grooms the brows in place and doesn't run off your face when the heat kicks off.

This one's for those who need a pigmented brow gel to fill in the sparse areas of their brows. This Essence Make Me Brow eyebrow gel is really good and gives you that thick brow look and also makes 'em look voluminous. It is smudge proof and we love it for that but that's where it ends. The hold is average, nothing groundbreaking but we kinda dig the pigment it gives off for an on-the-go brows day.
