In recent years, brows have been the focus of many makeup looks. From the instagram brow to the natural full brow, it is undeniable that brows do make a difference. Benefit has a few options to suit the needs and wants of different brow enthusiasts.
As brows have become the centre of attention, numerous brow products have popped up. Not to say that these products are new, the concept has been around for quite some time. However, most brands never really put much effort into the experience, the packaging, the formula and most importantly the shades! Benefit is one of the brands that has addressed this.
The blogpost will discuss products from left to right, as featured in the photo above.
Ka-Brow
This product is the brand's brow cream-gel in a pot option. It is suppose to help fill, sculpt and define the brows. The packaging is very convenient as not only does the lid of the pot not only seals the product but is also the brush holder. It comes with an angled liner brush which is actually really good. You can get a nice crisp line.
The formula is great! It is not too creamy so does not bleed or smudge easily if you happen to press the brush a bit too much. It does not make your brows feel like they have been hairsprayed and they do not rub off easily once set. Obviously if you rub it long enough, the colour will start fading. I find the colour on this one is slightly sheer which allows for mistakes, feathering and just allows you to build up the colour where it is needed. This product comes in 6 shades.
Goof Proof Eyebrow Pencil
The main issue with brow pencils is that you have to constantly sharpen them, if you want to be able to create that beautifully crisp line. Benefit has addressed that with their mechanical pencil, the shape of the tip comes in handy as this mean, you never have to worry that the tip isn't in the best shape for drawing. In addition to that, the pencil also comes with a spoolie!
In terms of the formula, I think it is more like a traditional brow pencil. In does have a waxy feel to it but it glides effortlessly. I do find that the colour is more intense compared to the Ka-Brow. I think this is perfect for those always in a rush and do not want to spend too much time on their brows. This product comes in 6 shades.
Gimme Brow Volumizing Eyebrow Gel
If you have hairs that just love to stick out of place, this is an option for you to consider. I think this is the product that the brand was really known for in terms of their brow products before they revamped their brow range.
The packaging is great. I do like the fact that the brush itself is small, it makes application longer but you can definitely make sure that spot of hair stays in place. My right eyebrow has hairs that sometimes play up and when I use this, it does the trick. I do like that my brows still feel like hair once this has been applied on.
This product comes in 3 shades. In terms of pigmentation, it is only a slight tint.
Browvo! Conditioning Eyebrow Primer
This is the first every eyebrow primer I have ever tried. Honestly when I first got it I thought it would do nothing for me. This product is suppose to help give the brow a bit of texture and therefore look a lot fuller.
In terms of packaging, I am not a big fan of twisting up type products because I get impatient and over do it at times. I did that a few times with this product but once you learn the trick with it dispensing is easy. The brush evenly distributes the products, I usually concentrate it to the ends of the brows. It does feel like much, just like a serum.
I usually let it dry before I apply the next product. I have worn with with both the gel and the goof proof pencil. They both work well and it does give give a textured appearance to the end of the brows which is great if you are going for a really natural look.
This product is transparent once allowed to dry.
Overall
I think this is a great range from Benefit. They have produced products that will cater to a lot of wants and needs for makeup lovers. The packaging is a joy to both look and use. The products work and you can definitely tell that they had quality in mind when they made these products. Overall I highly recommend the products.
(Disclaimer: The products were sent to me for consideration. All opinions are mine and the company has not influenced them in anyway. I believe that I have tested out the products enough to come to this conclusion.)
