Alexa Chung's clear mascara trick for subtle, feathered brows - and it'll cost you less than £3

Alexa Chung is pictured with sleek hair and a dark burgundy lipstick look whilst attending the "Nouvelle Vague" (New Wave) red carpet at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 17, 2025 in Cannes, France, alongside a product shot of Boots' Collection Clear Mascara/ on a cream template with a clear gel swatch.

A good brow product need not cost more than £3, according to Alexa Chung, who swears by a humble, multi-tasking buy for shaping and lifting her arches.

When it comes to our eyebrows, we all have our preferred methods of taming them. Some of us get the hair professionally tinted, others pluck, and then there are those of us who turn to the best eyebrow pencils and brow gels to fill and perfect them. Alexa Chung, for one, falls into the latter camp, though the 'gel' she uses actually isn't a gel at all; in fact, you can find her go-to formula front and centre among the best clear mascaras.
