Brow game is strong on this one “Benefit Brow Experience”
I always have a love-hate relationship with my brows. Sometimes its on point and sometimes its too thick but often times its just ordinary. I once had it dyed to brown at browhaus because i was too lazy to do my brows everyday. The color stayed on for a month or two and then I was back to having a plain jane brows. I was actually looking forward to this segment of the event as I am one of those girls who doesn’t have a clue on how to handle their own brows. I had tried benefit before but it was for their lightweight hello flawless foundation. I had my eyebrows done by my sister before i went to the event but still i was aiming for a more defined version. Honestly i don’t trust myself with my own eyebrows as i tend to do a betty la fea job at it. One of my biggest concern for my eyebrows is that it has spars and its unshaped. This segment was hosted by make up artist and beauty guru Ana Victorino.
This is what i learned from her before she introduced our Brow guru “Celina”.
The right brow shape can
1. Slim down your nose
2. Open up your eyes
3. Frame your face
My best friend Bianca was chosen as the first model because her type of brows is the one with the spars. Celina applied Goof-Proof Brow Pencil which i agree with Ms. Ana that it was like a tongue twister when spoken. Ms. Celina told us to focus on spars when filling up the brows. This product is made of wax and can last up to 12 hours plus it comes with 6 shades. You read that correctly it really comes with 6 amazing colors that can cater to your brow needs. It is actually a lot thicker than the normal eye pencil but when i got the chance to hold it up close it was actually easier to glide unto the brows.The sample photo of the product posted on this blog was downloaded directly from benefits official website for your reference.
There were 5 girls that was picked By Ms. Ana to have the brow make over by Ms. Celina. The categories were the girl who had spars, uneven, unshaped,undefined and not groomed. Ms. Celina have done a great job in solving all the girls brow problem and here is the end result.
After that we were given a chance to do our own eyebrows using benefits new line of brow products. There were only 2 products that i absolutely adore. I was actually clueless on what to pick but luckily Ms. Celina was there to guide me. I told her i want a more defined but still natural looking brows. she told me since i already had it shaped all i need to do was enhance it.
‘High Brow’ Highlighter – at first i was hesitant to use this as when i swatch it on the back of my hand all I could see was a pink streak. Ms. Celina told me that this can be used to brighten the eyes. Since i have dark circles around my eyes I opted to use it anyway . So what i did i glided this on top of my brows and I find it creamy and easy to apply. After a few minutes i blended it and indeed it turned out to be natural looking and my dark circles was not that noticeable.
Gimme Brow’ Brow Building Gel- I am every bit in-love with this product as for one it was easier to apply. I love having thicker brows as it makes me look more younger than I already am. My eyebrow goals are Cara Delevingne and Lily Collins. I want a brow version like that without the restriction of smearing or being erased easily by sweat or water. What i love about this is that it gives you the freedom to shape your brows without looking unruly. The fibers of the brush stick to your brows and the formula of the gel was not that waxy so it was easier to apply. It also fills in your spars making the illusion that you have a thicker natural looking eyebrows. Plus it was not that heavy and you don’t have to worry about it being erased as benefit promised that it was waterproof. I actually tested that out first hand after the event it rained like crazy. So when i alight in front of our house i was already soaking wet. i dried myself with a towel and was about to wash my face but then i noticed my brows and it was still divine.
Here is the result of my amazing brow experience with benefit. I would definitely purchase the products mentioned above. I have recently found out that benefit offers brow services like waxing and threading. I would like to try that really soon.

Oooh I could definitely use some of the products to make my brows look better. I normally just use an ordinary eyebrow pencil but I’m intrigued with Benefit’s version of it. It looks a lot easier to apply.

Would love to try the products! My brows are not in its best shape right now and it felt like i can use some of products. but how much does it cost? Benefit comestics are pricey compared to others but i think its reasonable din naman because of the quality.

I like these products even just the look of it. I’m interested in the High Brow and Goof Proof Pencil. These would really help up my brow game!

I haven’t use any of these products before on my brows. They do look interesting through, your brows in the last picture are very beautiful.
June 9, 2016 @ 4:13 pm
Wow! Your brows look perfect. I could buy all these products but never really know how to use them. Huhu. Do you have any tips on how I can master doing my brows? I’m also a perfectionist when it comes to them. Thanks in advance.

Not much I can say because I cannot benefit from it. It’s more for the ladies but nice article though. 🙂

Love this! I don’t have perfect eyebrows although lots of people think it’s shaped nicely already. I’ve considered having mine embroidered. But a 10k price was too steep for me

Yikes! another brow post 😀 Thanks for sharing! We, men, didn’t really bother shaping our eyebrows, but maybe for a change?
June 9, 2016 @ 10:55 pm
Up to now, I still haven’t learned how to perfectly shape my brows! haha. I wish I was here so my brows can be rescued. lol!

my eye brow goals are also cara and lily. I’ve been hearing a lot of good reviews about Benefits products. This brand would definitely gives us all a strong brow gaming.

Those are indeed divine-looking brows! Might give the Goof Proof Pencil a go myself (love the angled design). Got curious, too, about the lightweight “hello flawless” foundation 😉

I know exactly why makeup artist are obssess of giving their client the best eyebrows. It make or breaks a face. I just recently saw this eyebrow pencil from Youtuber Freddy My Love and I wanted to try it too. I recently finished my Urban Decay Brow Box so thinking of getting an eyebrow pencil

I think I am lucky that my brows are easy to groom and I don’t need to use so many products to achieve a certain look, but I understand that it can be a challenge with some people especially those with barely there brows.
I think your brows turned out good.

Your eyebrows look great! A lot like Lily Collins, actually. I personally love the Benefit Brow Bar and have had my brows done there many times. I like my brows a bit on the thin side, but they always do a great job. And High Brow is an excellent highlighter!
June 14, 2016 @ 4:35 pm
Thank you now my Lily collins inspired eyebrows is going to be crossed out on my bucket list. I tried thin eyebrows before it just doesn’t sit well with me . I love your brows nonetheless you look great!

Oh my! I have bushy eyebrows. I can’t fix it myself. I don’t pluck it nor shave it. I’m also afraid of threading.
June 15, 2016 @ 4:13 am
Even with all the products in the world, I think I’d still fail at having brows on point. Haha. Yours look really nice though!!
