Big Bushy Brows - well not quite...

I'm a massive fan of perfect eyebrows, and I have to say mine have been known to look like spiders on my forehead on occasions, but one must keep up appearances!

After getting my eyebrows threaded on Saturday, i paid my local Benefit Cosmetics counter a visit.  And boy, do they have some remarkable products in at the moment!  I follow them on Instagram, and also a sister site Brow Arch March, and had seen the launch of the new products, Speed Brow and Gimme Brow.

I have used both Gimme Brow and Speed Brow in this photo

I've always pencilled in my eyebrows with the old faithful Rimmel pencil, but by the end of the day, it had smudged off a little and i had stray eyebrow hairs not in place.  But what to use instead of a pencil for colour?  Gimme Brow is the answer!

I purchased the medium/dark shade.  Its like a teeny weeny mascara! Glides on really well, easy to manage, no blobbing and looks a lot more natural than a heavy pencil.  It covers my bald spots and gives amazing definition - i love it!  No more pencil for me!  It also keeps the eyebrows in place.  But for extra certainty i used Speed Brow over the top.

 

What Benefit say:

Why we love it!

Tint, tame and set brows in record time! This brush-on gel dries to a natural-looking finish for instantly beautiful brows. One natural shade dresses up all brows.

How to apply

Brush onto eyebrows in light, upward strokes. With the tip of the wand, trace along brow contour to create a smooth line.

It can be purchased here £13.00

This tamer is by far the best i've ever used.  Long gone are the days of clear mascara keeping your eyebrows in place, this isnt gloopy, and  when i say it lasts all day, it really does.  I put my make up on at 7am and take it off about 9pm and not a strand is out of place, no more crazy brows!  Makes eyebrows look fuller, more shapely, glossy and healthy - a real winner!

We've all overplucked at some point in our lives way back when, and if you, like are trying to undo the damage caused, then these 2 products are a must have.  They are a little pricey, especially Gimme Brow, but it is so much nicer than a pencil and more natural.

So, check out your local Benefit counter and see what the Benebabes can do for you!
