Benefit - Instant Brow Pencil

I have never used a brow pencil or anything of a kind for my brows. Well, only for some special events when make up artists took care of my look and the brows were just a small detail at the finish but it gives a complete look. But since I tried on this product in Sephora beauty store, just like that, out of curiosity, to see the look it would give me, I loved it. And of course, sometimes, for a change, you need a new product in your makeup kit. It is not something that I really need for an everyday use, because my brows look fine, but as I said, just to have a complete look for some occasions. Many women do use a brow pencil everyday to fill in the gaps in their brows or to make them look even, or to have that complete look on daily basis.

 
Benefit Cosmetics is such a cheerful and girly brand, far from luxury appearance and close to cute with girly colors. I use a Benefit product for the first time and I am very satisfied with the brow pencil.

The brand has this product for a while now, and it sells well on the market. It comes in three shades — Light, Medium and Deep. The one I use is Medium, a real brown that matches quite good my brows color although a bit lighter that my natural brow brown. So, it gives a brighter look that matches even more with my hair color. It is the perfect brow pencil for soft and long lasting defined brows in an instant. It glides on easily and leaves a natural finish. On one side, you have a soft pencil; on the other, a spool brush for brow blending that I love.
 

These days, I have a thing for my brows, I prefer thicker eyebrows, so I use it quite often, and I can tell that it really changes the look of my face. Once at my parents place, I got up in the morning and applied only the brow pencil and my mum asked me how have I managed to put make up on my face as I just got out of bed. So the effect is here. Even without any makeup, when the eyebrows are looking perfect, your whole face looks differently.  

It is very easy to apply, it looks very natural, it goes smoothly as it's creamy and it stays on very well for long time. You can not notice that a brow pencil was used but you can see the difference as swatched below.
