Sculpted Brows
e.l.f.’s Clear Brow is your secret weapon for perfectly sculpted brows. Simply brush your eyebrow hairs upward and outward with a clear mascara wand to give them a naturally defined look. You can also use with a brow pencil for a more polished look, and without for a more natural look. Say goodbye to unruly brows and hello to brow perfection.
Glossy Lashes
Achieving that 'woke up like this' look is a breeze with clear mascara. Swipe on a coat or two to add a subtle, glossy finish to your lashes.

PRO TIP: Use a clear mascara after applying black mascara to soften the look, it adds a beautiful shine to lashes.
Tame Baby Hairs

You can always keep it in your bag to touchup as needed for a fresh hairdo all day long.
