After years of searching for the perfect product, I've finally found my holy grail for everyday makeup looks

Eyebrow trends are always evolving, so I've never wanted to try anything permanent with my brows. Instead, I've turned to trendy products to experiment with the hottest new looks.

However, I spent years trying to find the best products to make my brows look flawless, and instead, I always ended up with an empty wallet.

A few years ago, I finally found a product that's both extremely effective and incredibly affordable — ELF's $6 brow-lift gel.

Thankfully, the brow gel is super easy to use

When I first purchased the ELF brow-lift gel, I was worried I'd need to scroll through TikTok tutorials for a few days to learn how to achieve the desired look.

However, I was able to dive in and create fluffed-out brows within minutes, using either an eyebrow spoolie or the separate brow-lift gel applicator.

I've found that the more product I use, the sleeker my eyebrows look. Alternatively, I can use a small amount and tame any stubborn brow hairs for a feathered-out effect.

My brow hairs tend to stick out all over the place, so my everyday look never feels complete without some type of product on them. With the help of this gel, they always look done.

I've found that my morning application lasts all day, which is especially impressive since I'm always running around New York City.

I even tested the product during a long day at the beach, and my brows stayed in place through the wind, sand, and waves.

Best of all, the brow gel is affordable

Another benefit of the $6 ELF brow-lift gel is that it doesn't break the bank.

In the past, I've paid upward of $26 for brow products from other brands. However, they never left me fully satisfied with the end result.

Now, I'm happy with my look — and the price it costs to achieve it.
