In the age of thick, bushy eyebrows, a budget beauty purchase on Amazon is said to achieve the perfect look.
Amazon shoppers shared rave reviews about the makeup item, with one woman praising its transformative abilities.
The affordable product received an average rating of 4.5 stars out of five from over 46,000 shoppers.
Elf Instant Brow Lift Pencil it’s currently available for $3 and in five shades.
The double-sided cosmetic item features a pencil on one end and an eyebrow brush on the other.
According to Elf, it was developed to define, fill, contour, comb and tame eyebrows.
The brand recommends brushing your eyebrows into the desired shape and using eyeliner to fill in the gaps with small, thin strokes.
One shopper praised the product for transforming her post-menopausal brows.
“I’m in my early 60s and have never liked or worn makeup, but in the winter my pale skin can look very washed out and my eyebrows have become thinner after menopause,” she wrote.
The woman, who described herself as “an old hippie girl,” said she was hesitant to try the product but was glad she did.

“I just bought it and tried it on and was really impressed – it’s such a subtle shade that no one would ever know I was wearing makeup, but it makes a difference,” she said.
Other impressed shoppers shared their thoughts on the beauty product in the reviews section.
“Great color for my blonde, silver and white hair!” said someone else.
“[It] it blends my sparse eyebrow hairs well from the half arch to the tail and I love the brush that has its own cap on the opposite end of the crayon stick with its own cap.
“Great price, and I’ll use it for a while before commenting on how long it lasts and whether it’s smudge-proof. So far I’m very pleased!”
Another buyer praised the product for its affordable price.
“I deal with trichotillomania so I use eyebrow pencils daily and wear them out quickly so I really like them as they are only $3,” they wrote.
Is a $3 eyebrow pencil really any good?
Carly Stern, lifestyle editor at The US Sun, weighs in…
In my career covering all things lifestyle, I’ve had the opportunity to experiment with a lot of makeup.
And yes, the fancy stuff is cool. But the truth is… expensive doesn’t necessarily mean better.
So even though I have a lot of high-quality makeup, I sometimes try to buy it at drugstores.
The Elf Instant Lift Brow Pencil is one of them – in fact, this is my favorite eye pencil that I always buy. I usually buy a few from Amazon or Target at a time, so I know I’ll have a backup on hand once I’m done.
No sharpening required, the spool is secured and I can throw it in my bag and take it to work when I’m not super confident about how I filled them first thing in the morning.
Sure, I could spend $20 or more on a more luxurious brand, but no one has ever said to me, “Carly, your eyebrows look poor. What did you use, a $3 pencil?” so I think I’ll stick with my budget choice.
“I don’t feel guilty repurchasing one every few months.”
“I see why this line stands out as a competitor to more expensive luxury lines. You don’t have to be rich or take out a loan to look nice and well-groomed,” another person pointed out.
“For just $3, this pencil works well and is worth it,” commented one shopper.
I like how easy it is to use – you don’t have to press hard for the product to define your brows.
“It fits well and the color is good. I’m naturally blonde, so I could wear blonde, ash or even light brown. Not too dark and very natural.”
