Get Bushy Brows in 1 Minute Flat, Courtesy of the Brow King Himself
If you're not familiar, brow lamination makes it look like you've brushed and gelled your brows into a permanent boy brow style. "The look of brow lamination is upswept brows," says celebrity brow oracle (and the only person I will ever trust with my own caterpillars) Joey Healy. The treatment works to help redirect the hair growth of your brow hairs, which tend to grow in different directions, explains Benefit Cosmetics global brow expert Jared Bailey. When the professionals do it, they use a perm solution to chemically relax the curl and bend in your brow hairs, and the result is a #wokeuplikethis version of boy brow—but you can replicate this without having to drop roughly $90 on the treatment.

To get the brow lamination look from home, Healy and Bailey have some genius ideas for how you can recreate brow lamination with what you've already got in your makeup bag. Use a clear brow gel like Benefit 24-Hour Brow Setter ($24) or Joey Healy Structure Clear Set ($25), and let the product air dry on the wand to allow it to thicken up before you apply. Then, brush up brows to get that thick, vertically unswept look. If you want something a bit less textural and more pasted down, Healy suggests coating a spoolie with good, old-fashioned bar soap, and combing your brows with it. One pro tip? "You don't want to put too much pressure because you could end up creating friction that could remove the brow hair," he says. Et voila: Laminated caterpillars that'll stand up in style all day long.
