Eyebrow gel and make up brushes for a teenager

Looking for some advice on presents for a young teenager - I'd like to get her some eyebrow gel like Benefit's Gimme Brow but less expensive, and also a starter set of decent make up brushes. I don't want to spend more than £25 altogether.

Thanks!

Loreal eyebrow gel is good as the wand is really small but the handle is long so easier to control. Personally I like the real techniques brushes but I hear zoeva rose gold are great value.

Hi - I have Gimme Brow and I really cannot recommend it TBH, it's flipping hard work.

I bought my DD a set of Barbara Daly brushes from Tesco when they had a Special Offer on.
She helps herself to my brushes too (I have a rogues gallery of M&S, body Shop , No7 )
DD got a couple of Primark ones (I haven't tried them so I don't know how good they are.
Real Tequniques have a Buy One Get One Half Price in Boots (I was looking because my DD wants to buy some for her friend, and get the 2nd set for herself Grin )

Sleek make-up is good and though I haven't tried it, they have a brow kit for £8.50.

My DD is 13yo, she has her (very generous ) eyebrows (I'm Envy ) threaded , costs £5 a time. That might be an idea?
DD uses a clear gel (clear mascara) on hers.

Lavera do a good brow gel, a clear one but also a tinted brown one that is like Gimme Brow but a lot less smudgey.
