The Brow Product India Was Using Long Before The Brand Noticed

Got2b Glued didn’t arrive in India late. We were already using it, hacking it, and quietly swearing by it years before the launch became official.

If you were taking your brows seriously around 2019, there’s a good chance you already know this tube, even if you never bought it here.

It wasn’t available in India, it wasn’t being marketed to us, and there were no brand-led tutorials explaining how or why we should be using it. And yet, somehow, got2b Glued Hair Gel had already made its way into Indian beauty routines, largely through word-of-mouth, borrowed suitcases, and the quiet recommendations that circulate among people who actually care about how makeup performs in real life. Which is why its official launch in India now doesn’t feel like an introduction so much as an overdue acknowledgement.

The Year Indian Brows Quietly Changed

Between 2018 and 2020, Indian beauty went through a subtle but significant shift. Brows stopped being something you filled in and moved on from. They became something you shaped, lifted, brushed upwards and expected to stay put for an entire day, regardless of weather, movement, or occasion.

This was before brow lamination became mainstream, before ₹8,000 salon treatments entered the conversation, and before every brand released its own version of a brow gel. What we did have instead was humidity, long workdays, weddings that stretched well past midnight, and brows that were thick, coarse, and often unwilling to behave.

Somewhere in the middle of Instagram tutorials, US Sephora hauls, and beauty bloggers trading tips in DMs, got2b Glued entered the picture, not as a hair product, but very decisively as a brow solution.

How a Hair Gel Became a Brow Essential

Indian beauty users didn’t wait to be told how to use it. We simply figured it out. A spoolie dipped lightly into got2b Glued could tame even the most stubborn brows, locking them into place without that crunchy, flaking finish most brow products at the time struggled with. It dried quickly, held through heat and sweat, and if you used it properly, didn’t draw attention to itself once set.

Makeup artists started using it on brides because it worked. Bloggers relied on it for shoots because it didn’t fail under lights. And regular girls held on to half-used tubes like contraband, carefully rationing them until the next friend travelled abroad and could bring one back.

It became one of those products that moved quietly through the beauty ecosystem. There was no hype cycle, no aggressive evangelising. Just trust built through repeated use.

Why It Worked So Well in India

What made got2b Glued effective for Indian brows was never accidental.

Our climate demands grip. Our brows tend to be fuller and coarser. Our days are long, and makeup needs to last without constant touch-ups. A soft, flexible brow gel simply doesn’t hold up under those conditions, no matter how elegant the packaging.

Got2b’s extreme hold, originally designed for editorial hair looks, translated surprisingly well to brow control when used with restraint. It was technically overqualified for the job, which is precisely why it performed better than products that were designed specifically for brows but failed to account for real-world wear.

A Launch That Feels More Like Recognition Than Discovery

Fast forward to now, and got2b is officially launching in India, backed by its global reputation as a power styling brand and its cult Glued range.

On paper, this is a standard market entry. In reality, it feels more like a brand finally catching up with how its product has already been used here for years, not for dramatic spikes or theatrical hair, but for everyday grooming, control, and reliability.

That distinction matters, especially in a beauty market that is far more discerning than it was even five years ago.

Why the Timing Actually Makes Sense

Indian beauty has matured. Brows still matter, but the obsession has shifted away from extremes and towards control. Clean skin, defined features, and makeup that looks intentional rather than overworked now sit at the centre of how many women approach beauty.

The brushed-up brow never really went away; it simply became quieter and more refined. In that context, got2b fits not because it is new, but because it has already proven itself under conditions that most products are not tested for.

This Isn’t a Comeback Story

Some products don’t need to be rediscovered. They just need to be properly acknowledged.

Got2b Glued didn’t suddenly become relevant to Indian beauty because it launched here in 2026. It had already earned its place through years of informal use, recommendations, and quiet loyalty. The difference now is access, pricing, and the ability to call it what it has long been for many people: a reliable brow staple.

So yes, it’s launching officially. But for a lot of us, it’s simply becoming easier to buy something we’ve already trusted for years.
