Excellent Brows!

I am not normally one to groom my brows besides an occasional wax when they get out of hand. However after my last wax my brows seemed very thin at the end and I decided it was time for a brow pencil.
I purchased this is medium and am so pleased with it. The colour suits my brows perfectly. I find this really easy to apply. I apply light strokes to the areas I want to fill in and then use the included spoolie to brush it through my brows. My brows look perfect! It is a very natural look.
I think this would be best for people who just need slightly filling in their brows.

Super easy

This pencil makes brows a cinch! I love the wax/powder formula it glides on very easy. The spoolie blends and evens out the wax, creating a very natural look. I have medium/dark brows and use the medium coloured pencil. I use this on a daily basis, having thick and luscious brows (think perfectly shaped, not oscar the grouch-y) means less make up as it really opens up my face and makes my lovely glowing skin or cheeks or bright lips look so much better.

Perfect quick fix for brows

I have become obsessed with brows. Every woman I see, it's the first thing I notice. I think that a good set of brows are the most important thing for your face. I always use this pencil, even on days when I don't wear any make-up. When it's correctly applied it give you super natural, full brows. I love the spoolie on the end, it really helps everything sit nicely!

Convert

I recieved this in Deep as part of the BeautyHeaven Brow Wow Trial. I am not normally one to get into involved brow grooming. Until recently I plucked them myself. And I've certainly always regarded shading my brows with fear, seen it as something unnecessary.
This has been the product to change all that.
For starters I love the packaging. As always Benefit has created something fun and colourful, yet informative. There are easy to follow instructions on the box and an illustrated esson inside, essential for someone like me who feels they have no idea what they are doing.
Initially I was surprised at the greyness of colour of the pencil, but instantly found it to be a good match for filling my brows. On my skin it takes on a transparent charcoal, which is easily buildable for a more opaque colour. I found that I only needed to apply it in very light, feathery strokes for impact. And I am seriously amazed at the difference it made. Such a small amount defined my brows without making them overbearing fuzzy catepillars on my face. This extra definition has really lifed my face and brought out my eyes. I now consider myself a brow pencil addict. I feel undone without this small, simple touch.
The pencil includes a brow brush on the other end, which comes capped to protect it. This brush is great for combing the pencil colour through and positioning them in place. Very handy to have it attatched to the pencil.
I found the colour to last quite well throughout the day. I didn't feel it had slid off or disappeared, even when I've been in warm to hot enviroments this past week while trialling it. The formula is quite waxy so it really stays put. At then end of the day my brows are still pencilled in and defined.
At this stage my only drawback concerns how sharpening the pencil will go. The material the 'pencil' is in is quite thick and I can't imagine it shaving off easily. But no matter, I suspect when the time comes for me to sharpen it I will visit my local Benefit counter and ask them how it is best done.
Obviously the price will be a drawback for many, but I can see this lasting me well over a year, even with daily use, so for me the price isn't an issue.
I looking forward to trying out some bolder brow looks with this pencil, but right now I'm content to call myself a brow pencil convert and include this as part of my essential beauty kit.

Amazing!!

This little baby has been an absolute gem! I couldn’t ask for anything else from a brow pencil. It applies very smoothly and has a lot of workability with the supplied brush to get it just right. I made the first mistake of applying it a little too heavily, bust as said it is very workable to it is fixed in no time! But this really completes a look and sets a tone to the makeup. It leaves brow’s with a very dignified finish that really looks great. The end result is very realistic, and doesn’t look like you have just applied brow pencil. The brush supplied is similar to a mascara brush and not the typical style found on brow pencils, which results in a much softer and pleasant styling experience! Benefit have made a product that is very durable, even after cleansing and toning the next day after application I still had faint remanet’s of the instant brow pencil. I couldn’t be happier with this pencil, and will definitely purchase again and again. I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Instantly Defined Brows

I was very excited to trial this, as normally I do not use brow products, so this was complete new venture. I have medium coloured brows, and the Medium colour I tried suited me perfectly.
This brow pencil has two ends, a pencil in one end and a brush/groomer in the other end.
It is very soft, and has a creamy almost waxy texture that dries and turns into a powder-like finish to give a very natural look. So it glides on effortlessly, with no need to use excessive force to get any colour!!

The pencil gives a very natural look, and does not look obviously pencilled in. The brush on the other end is so useful in blending in the colour and to style brows after application.
It doesn't take long to apply, and the colour stayed on all day long, even on a hot day, and the waxy texture really kept my unruly brows under control.
It is a great product that is perfect for filling in those over plucked or sparse areas, or for making brows more defined. I will continue to use it, and definitely will recommend it.

Brilliant Bold Brows

This brow pencil is the best I have ever used. The pencil glided on really smoothly and without any force needed. This to me was refreshing because in the past I have had to pull and tug at my brows when using a pencil. The shade I had was deep and it was the perfect shade for my very dark brows. I love all Benefit packaging and this product was no different with the handy spoolie at the end to even out the coverage and avoid clumps. I have extremely bold and thick brows to begin with so I am not sure how useful this product would be on a daily basis but it was a great product to try and when I am wearing a lot of makeup it would help make my brows stand out even more.

BROW WOW REVIEW

Whist testing out this product i noticed two things about it that i liked:
1) using the actually pencil to shade in your brows was very simple to do. By following your natural brow line and not going to far out of the edge, you can create a full brow. The pencil is very soft and feels nice putting it on. My brows are quite dark ( basically black) and i was given the medium shade to test out, i found that it suited the natural tones quite well. Anything darker may of looked a bit off.
2) the spoolie. it certainly does its job well but evenly speading and blending in your penciled lines. The spoolie also does and extra little job by brushing your brows down.

brow wow!

I got this to road test and was excited because I've never used brow pencils or anything.
The pencil is very soft and glide on effortlessly, no need to use excessive force to get any colour!!
I have black eyebrows and have the shade medium to dark, it suited me perfectly.
The spoolie is amazing! It really grabs the hairs and places them in the direction you comb. It also helps the product blend in really nicely.
It gives a very natural finish to the brows, not obviously pencilled in.
I really like how it has a little cap on each end to protect not just the pencil but the spoolie too, it is great to put in your handbag for touch ups and not worry about it getting crushed.
The colour stayed on all day long even though I was sweating which is a plus.
It doesn't take long to apply to get a natural look, overall a great product!!

Love it

I have the darkest pencil, and find that it blends in really well with my brows. Ask the Benefit ladies to show you how to use it- they are more than happy to do so, and after having had my lesson, I feel very confident in using my brow pencil.
