When I first visited the Benefit Cosmetics Boutique at Greenbelt 5, there were a short list of items I want to spend on and one of them is the Benefit High Brow Pencil. It took me months, before I've decided to pick this up as I would always fight the urge to purchase one! I always tell myself: "How in the world can High Brow be a necessity? I can always use eyeshadow to highlight the brow bone area!"
Well, guess what? Using an eyeshadow is nice but using a Benefit High Brow pencil gives extraordinary results! (Ok, that came out like an infomercial! lol)
As I was busy with the afternoon Workshop with guests at the Benefit Boutique, Greenbelt 5 last month. One of the attendees took the High Brow pencil and requested me to show her how to use it. I happily obliged and applied a tiny amount on her brow bone area and blended it using my fingers, she took a good look at the mirror and said: "Oh wow! I see a huge difference!"
I stepped back, and in my mind I was screaming: "Oh my! It did make a huge difference! Her eyes look lifted and lively, I must get myself one immediately after the workshop!"
Yes, I need proofs and once I got one, my conscience went on hibernation.

Pros- Creamy pencil, easy to apply and blend.

- Looks natural.
- Even if your brows aren't in good shape, the Benefit High Brow will define your brows making it look neat and clean.

The Benefit High Brow gives a very subtle "uplift" effect and can be used on a daily basis.
Tips

- If you prefer a more defined arch, feel free to apply some of the Benefit High Brow Pencil above the brow by using dots and blend.
- Continue with eye makeup.
- Use this pencil to highlight the inner corner of your eyes or the tip of your nose as long as it works for your skin color.
- Instead of using a matte white eyeliner pencil, Benefit High Brow can also be used on the waterline to create bigger looking eyes.

Photos
The Benefit High Brow is described as
soft, matte, linen-pink shade
How I apply: I prefer to apply a line underneath the brow area
as shown on photo below
With my clean fingers, I blend the pencil with a dabbing motion
staying only within the area where the pencil was drawn.
Continue with your regular eyeshadow application
or you can leave the house as it is.

I have something like this. It's a very light pink eyeliner from Maybelline. This is too expensive >.<
ReplyDeleteThat's nice if you have a good alternative that's cheaper! I haven't seen or used the Maybelline version!
DeleteI often come across this product everytime I go shopping for makeup but it didn't really tempt me. I don't think I need it.
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't think I need it but I guess I always have reasons to need it, I just tell myself: "My clients need it!" hahahha
