Hey, friends! Unless you've been living under a large and bothersome rock, you've probably heard about the new Benefit Cosmetics brow collection. I'm a sucker for a good re-brand (and new brow products, duh) and so when this magic-themed, silver, offensively beautiful range dropped I knew I had to get my greedy mitts on them.




If you are a fellow Australian, these babies will be available from Myer and Sephora on the 22nd July - but for now, I'm going to show you my favourite way to fill sparse brows using some of the delightful goodies!

P.S. A full review and demo of every product will be on my YouTube channel very soon!



As a human who was allowed tweezers as a pre-teen, I am currently suffering from Where The Hell Is Half My Eyebrow syndrome. However, thanks to four simple steps (and multiple prayers, chants, rituals etc) I am able to look like a human being once more.

1. Shape Your Tail (Feather)
Tails can really make or break your brow game, in my humble opinion, and so this is where I like to begin my shaping journey. To do so I've been reaching for Goof Broof Brow Pencil in shade 4, using the pointed end to line the outer half of my brow, tapering to a defined point. Once I'm happy with the shape I use the wide tip to shade and fill - much like colouring between the lines but with much higher stakes.




2. Party in the Front
As I generally prefer the inner half of my brow to appear more 'natural' (i.e. less like I've had to draw them on from scratch), I've been using the Precisely, My Brow Pencil in shade 4 to shape this area. This ultra-fine pencil is wonderful for creating the ever-coveted hair-like strokes, making for a much more subtle finish.




3. Detail That Tail
Carving out my brows has become an essential part of my caterpillar grooming routine; this is the step which will pull everything together, making you look like a polished adult human. The High Brow Pencil (or High Brow Glow Pencil, if you're feeling fancy) has replaced my Boi-ing Concealer as my favourite brow detailer, which is no mean feat, let me tell you. This is a pink toned pencil which will highlight as it details - I like to draw it on lightly and blend away with an angled brush.



4. On Your Marks, Get Set
There's no point in crafting a wonderful brow if you aren't going to lock it in for the long haul. I have been using Ready, Set, Brow! - a non-crusty, clear gel - to hold my hairs in place all day. However, if I'm feeling extra swish, I'll pop some 3D Browtones in the front of my brows to highlight and add dimension. If you feel like you need more coverage, Gimme Brow will be your jam.






So there you have it, kitties - brow filling made easier than spending your entire month's pay on Sephora. Make sure you check out these products (and the other beauties in the collection) when they release later this month!
