The makeup artist’s not-so-secret weapon for blocking out brows. 👀
Elmer’s Disappearing Purple Glue Stick is a popular choice for brow blocking, helping to flatten and smooth eyebrow hairs before applying makeup over the top.
The clever bit? It goes on purple, so you can easily see where you’ve applied it, then dries clear, leaving the brows ready for powder, concealer and your next makeup steps.
Ideal for drag, cosplay, character makeup, theatrical makeup and SFX transformations where the natural brows need to disappear so you can reshape, reposition or completely redraw them.

How to use for brow blocking
Start with clean, dry brows, free from oils and skincare products.
Apply the glue directly through the eyebrow hairs, working thoroughly through the brows before smoothing the hairs flat against the skin.
If required, the surface of the glue stick can be very lightly dampened with clean water to soften it and help it glide more easily through the brow hairs. There's no need to lick the glue stick. Using clean water is the more hygienic option, particularly when working professionally.
Smooth the brows flat and allow the glue to dry completely before applying another thin layer. Repeat as required until the brow texture is sufficiently flattened.
Once completely dry, powder the area and continue with your chosen makeup products.
PRO TIP: Several thin, fully dried layers generally give a smoother result than one heavy layer.
Removal
Soften the glue thoroughly with warm water and gently work it out of the brow hairs. Avoid pulling or aggressively rubbing the brows.
Please note
Elmer’s Disappearing Purple Glue Stick is manufactured as a washable adhesive and is not a cosmetic product. Its use for brow blocking is an off-label technique commonly used within creative makeup. Avoid direct contact with the eyes. Patch testing before use is recommended, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
