Molly-Mae Hague recently shared her top three make-up products, and it included this new brow gel. Keen to see if it’s worth the hype, I tried it out on my unruly eyebrows…
Blessed (or cursed, whichever you think) with naturally thick, coarse eyebrow hairs, I use a brow gel pretty much every day to control and shape them, even if I don’t wear any other make-up. I have a long-term favourite (REFY Brow Sculpt, FYI) but I’m always up for trying new recommendations, so when Molly-Mae Hague recently included one in her top three make-up products, I had to try it.
Speaking to influencer William Grande this week on the red carpet at the NTAs – where her Amazon show Molly-Mae: Behind It All won an award – Molly shared her current three favourite make-up products, and it included Morphe Micro Manager Gripping Brow Gel, which costs £12 from Selfridges.

Caroline Hirons launches innovative product that makes your skincare more effective
Promising 16-hour hold, 100% of testers said that this lifts, tames and locks brows into place, and 100% also agreed that it feels flexible and comfortable to wear.
I was immediately taken by the slimline, gold-packaged design and, when I opened it, the teeny tiny spoolie brush – smaller than any I’d used before. The benefits of this, I found, are that it allows you to very precisely shape the brows exactly how you want, without overloading them with product or getting it onto the surrounding skin – an issue I’ve had with other products in the past.
To be honest, I didn’t expect it to be strong enough to hold up my heavy brows – few brow gels are – but this even passed the pulling-a-jumper-over-the-head test without my eyebrows drooping. Even better, there was no white residue or flaky bits on the hairs once it had dried – another common complaint I have. It also gave them a slightly glossy finish.
I didn’t quite test its 16-hour claim, but my brows did remain looking good all day – lifted, defined and fuller, with gaps filled in. As this Morphe gel is cheaper than my usual too, I’ll definitely be swapping to this for the foreseeable.
If you want to copy the now-BAFTA winners make-up bag even further, the two other favourites Molly-Mae listed were By Terry Cellularose CC Serum, £62, and Natasha Denona HY-GLAM Concealer, £32.
Meanwhile the star’s NTAs beauty look involved a sought-after blusher with a 1.2k waiting list, as Molly stepped out wearing NARS’ new blurring blush that thousands of fans were virtually queuing up back during its launch.
The product in question is The Multiple from NARS, priced at £33. Promising 16 hours of wear, this multitasking genius is perfect for everything from red carpet moments to everyday glam. Since launching, it’s already become a must-have product for so many beauty fans, racking up hundreds of five-star reviews in its first week.
