Road Test 

If you’ve read this blog before you’ll know I am a victim of self-butchered brows. As a result, over the years, my search for top quality products to correct the problem of over plucking and poor shaping has been far and wide. And thanks to the cult brand, Benefit Cosmetics, I am excited to add a new must-have brow product to my list. If like me you’ve seen all those ads on Instagram for brow pens which can draw lines mimicking natural hairs but are not sure if they work or not, stop what you are doing and read on. I tried one of those (which shall remain nameless) and to say I had a disappointing result would be an understatement. Then I tried another one - a locally made product which you can buy in a supermarket - and the result was much the same. So I went back to the safety of my trusty powder and angled brush for a while, before a press release about Benefit’s Brow Microfilling Pen landed in my inbox. I have to admit my heart skipped a beat when I saw it, so I asked if I could give the new product a road test, and watched the post avidly until the pen finally arrived. The idea behind drawing multiple lines with a single stroke with a brow pen is that it is designed to mimic natural looking brows. The lines are meant to blend in with natural hairs enhancing them, while also filling in gaps to give the appearance of hairs where there aren’t any. The problem with most products, however, is often that the lines are too thick and don’t give a natural result, even if you have thick eyebrows. That’s just one area where this new brow pen from Benefit rocks. The lines it draws are fine and three different lengths which look like real brow hairs, with additional benefits being that your brows will be good for up to 24 hours, as well as being waterproof and smudge-proof. Using the pen is super easy. Just apply to clean brows, stroking the three-prong tip in short, upward motions without pressing hard. Instantly your brows will look thicker, gaps will be filled in to look more natural, and you are good to go all day without the need for touch-ups. Whether perfectly groomed eyebrows are on trend or not, this is an essential product for everyone, but especially anyone who’s brows are sparse. And for travellers, given that’s its long wearing and easy to apply, it’s a must for your cosmetic case.
