Benefit has revamped their beloved eyebrow products and also added some new products to the line, so I decided to pick up something I’ve personally never tried before and see what happens.
I’m a pencil girl when it comes to my brows. I’ve tried powders before and mascaras but I always go back to a pencil when it comes to filling in mine. Trying this cream-gel formula was a completely new one for me so here’s my thoughts on it all!
I have medium to dark brown hair so I’m shade number 4 which also means I’m shade 4 in the rest of the brow range, pretty cool!
Another nice feature is the small angled brush within the lid of the pot that you just flip upside down and pop back into the lid for a full length brush! The end of the brush does have the lid on it which can be a slight annoyance but I like that it adds a nice weight to the brush.
This product is priced at £18.50 and comes in 6 shades. It can be built from natural looking to dramatic and is said to last 24 hours as well as being waterproof.
First impressions of this is that I love the packaging! Especially the small angled brush as this would come in handy when traveling or just to put in your handbag. I am very happy with how well my shade suits my hair and it is a really creamy consistency that is so easy to blend in with a spoolie. A little product goes a long way so I definitely see this lasting a long time. I’m in no way a pro when it comes to make up so it might take a little getting used to on my behalf but I’m quite willing to drop my beloved eyebrow pencil for this *shock!* as it really is that awesome of a product. I tried it on a particularly rainy day and not once did it smudge despite me running around doing errands and yes, it did last all day. I can’t say for sure whether it lasts 24 hours or not but it definitely did last the 9+ hours I was wearing it.
So, my overall verdict? If you’re in the market for an easy brow product that looks natural, easy to work with and last well, then yes yes yes!
