Hanna Hussein flicks her perfect eyebrows, thanks to Benefit’s superb brow range
LET’S be honest, ladies. Many of us spend a lot of time and money to maintain our eyebrows. We wax, pluck, thread and then we fill them in.
Why?
Because a pair of well-groomed eyebrows can flash those pretty eyes. It completes the whole look of your eye area and it makes a woman look years younger too!
It doesn’t matter if you have skimpy brows, patchy brows or barely-there brows... all your brow dilemmas can now be solved with the help of Benefit’s new brow collection, called the Abracada-Brow. This “magical” brow-line aims to give you beautiful and natural-looking brows without much hassle.
I have always been in love with Benefit products. Not only because they never disappoint me but also because I truly love the fun and adorable packaging.
So it goes without saying that I am very excited to get my hands on the Abracada-Brow line.
The San Francisco brand recently launched nine new brow products, but here’s a first impression of four of the must-haves that will definitely up your brow game.
BROWVO! CONDITIONINg PRIMER (RM130)
This is a nutrient-rich primer for fuller looking brows that contains keratin and soya proteins, known to help brows look thicker, healthier and fuller. In short, it is an eyebrow serum that will keep your brow grow well.
It works two ways — as a conditioner and a primer. You can use it before bed to condition your brows and as a primer before makeup to enhance the colour and extend the wear.
It has a custom soft touch applicator that looks like a brush, so it can evenly coat brow hair.
To use it, twist the bottom of the pen once (a couple of times if it’s still new) and a clear gel-ish texture will appear. Since it is clear gel, it suits all brows. Just glide it over the brows in the direction of the hair and let it dry before applying other products.
KA-BROW! (RM110)
For a defined, sculpted brows, the Ka-Brow! is definitely a great cream-gel brow colour if you want your brows on-flick. It can shape your brows from natural to a more dramatic look.
Available in six easy-to-choose shades, I can assure that you will have no problem finding the perfect match. The texture is not too creamy and a bit waxy, so it does not give out too much products to the brow. The colour is super buildable and it is 24-hour waterproof wear too.
The best part is that it comes with a custom build-in fine-density angled brush. Just pull it out of the cap and voila! You can flip the brush and snap it back into the cap for a full-length brush so you can get extra precision and control when applying. The brush also distributes products evenly.
GOOF PROOF BROW PENCIL (RM110)
If you are more comfortable with brow pencil, Benefit also has a super easy brow-filling shaping pencil.
The Goof Proof Brow Pencil will instantly create the shape for you, no fuss. It has a smart custom angle tip on the wide side and a spoolie on the other.
This is super easy to use. Just softly glide the pencil along brows to fill and shape. With a few strokes, you can just build-up the colour and blend it with the spoolie. This brow pencil also comes with six easy-to-choose shades.
GIMME BROW (RM110)
This product is my favourite, a brow-saviour during a bad brow day.
Too lazy to draw a perfect brow? No problem. Just brush on Gimme Brow onto your brows and fuller-looking brows will magically appear!
I love it that with just a few strokes, I have a natural-looking brow. It is very buildable and it is very long wearing. It is also water resistant.
Unlike many brow gels I have used before, Gimme Brow comes with a tiny tapered brush for easy blending and precision. Definitely a must-have!
